Mr.. BRYAN says, when you try to
convince goldite that the great
masses of the people have right to a
voice in the legislation Of the country
in which they live, he tells you that
while he would profit by the free COIN
age of silver, that because he loves
others better than he loves himself, he
will ram the gold standard down their
throats, whether they want it or not. "
Yes, but because the gold standard man
says this, is certainly no good reason
why reasonable people should believe
it, and those who are stupid and gull.
BILE enough to do SO, are OH ects OF pity
rather than of censuIe.

Mr.. BYRNE, of New York, who is
making speeches in this State IN be
half of the election of Mr.. Mckinley
saws. as will be seen by an article IN
another column, "the best blood OF
Virginia is now on mis- side, and that
"theVirginian is true to his CONVICTIONS
AS Virginia is the birth place OF Amer
lean democracy, of course one white
mans blood is as good as that OF an
other, provided it be healthy, and the
idea that there is any sc.called chest
blood" in Virginia, is only entertained
by Northern people utterly Ignorant OF
Virginia feeling; but if there were any
.'best blood" in the State it would nat
urslly, in q country in which every
BODY has the right to vote, array
against itself the worst blood, which
would be infinitely the more plentiful.
There is no doubt of the fact that many
Virginians won't ask for help, and are
true to their convictions, but certainly
a wise man would not hunt for them
among those conspicuousiy engaged in
the attempt to defeat Mr.. Bryan.

is it that some people who used to be
democrats spend the day in telling how
the election of the Chicago ticket would
ruin this country, and then refuse TO cast
their votes for the only man VINO can
defeat the Chicago nominee? l Will
tell you why. 1t is because they have
not the courage to bear the odium OF be-
ing republicans. We are engaged IN a
great struggle, one ofthe greatest strug-
giles in which the people of this coun,
try were ever engaged in a time OF
peace; is is a struggle between democ-
racy on one side, and plutocrscy on the
other, and there is no middle ground
for an man to stand upon. They who
are not for US are against us. we
would have more respect for them II
they were honest enough to go where
they belong. We appeal to no man TO
go contrary to his judgment and con
Science. But want to warn you who
are contemplating desertion from the
democratic party at this time, that the

either goes to the rear, or is found in Sc

hearts are willing, but whose flesh Is

tried to be. Referring 10 tne leDoI
riots in Chicago, Gen. King favored
the right of the government to sup
press riots and lawlessness, to stop the
interference with travel and the mails
and to maintain law and the liberty OF
men. Gov. Altgeld, be said, was to blame
in his course during the riots, and MIR.
Cleveland, though he did not like him
and did not defend him, was right in
suppressing those riots, as he was right
on the Venezuelan question.
General King said he was going to
Richmond and intended to tell the peo-
pie there that the good democrats of
Alexandria were opposed to Altgeldism
and the free silver doctrine. He then
spoke ofMr. Mckinley staying at home
and of Mr.. Bryan going through the
country making speeches; urged his
hearers to vote for Mckinley, who, he
said, while Bryan was cutting his teeth
Oh 16 {, rattle, had knapsack on
his back fighting for what he believed
to be right.
Gen. King warmly favored the Nc
Kinly tariff bill and said that the coun.
try Under the provisions of that bill
--,ss prosperous. He extolled Virginia
y. naople and said ne had many
ana 1er r Confederate soldiers.
He said Alexandria shou4H ~ one th "a
the great manufacturing cities o.
world. IT..
Gen. King spoke for two hours. His
sneecb was most conciliatory one and
was we'll delivered, but his warmest
friends must admit that he made no
convincing argument and advanced not
a single new idea. A large majority OF
his audience was disappointed.

SUMS Cotton.

New York, Dec. 21.-spot cotton here de-
ci1ned l-16c, with sales of So bales for spin
ming; Loco We're delivered on contract. The
fluctuations in prices today We're confined
within an extremely narrow range. The
trading was quiet and in the main of a local
character. At the opening prices declined
slightly in sympathy with a, decline in Liver
poos and large estimates of the ports, but IN
the absence of any decided selling pressure
the loss was recovered and a small advance
followed.
The receipts at the ports however, were
even larger than the, early estimate, and to-
gether with heavy selling for Wall street
account and large estimated arrivals at
New Orleans and Houston tomorrow caused
a reaction before tho close, the ending be-
ing at slight decline for the day. New Or
leans was lower and some selling orders
were received from that market. One Wall
street firm sold, it IS estimated 10,G00 bates
today, supposed to be long cotton. This was
enc OF the principal factors in the reaction,
and the absence of outside support was also
an unfavorable feature. Outsiders continue
to hold aloof from the speculation en- ac-
count of the heavy movement, while the
uncertainty as to the outcome of the sem
ate's Cuban resolutions also deters invest
n1ent buying though some claim that the
cheapnesS of the price discounts anything
that can ba said against cotton.

would under ordinary conditions have
weakened prices to the point of denoraIiza-

of this grain that there was no indication
that anything unusual had happened. For

at one time even caused an advance over

An easier tone prevailed in oats early, the

Cotton Letter. .

New York, Dec. 21.-(Special.) -Although
Liverpool was lower and the receipts very
large, cotton declined but point or two on
the opening, and remained very steady dur
ing the rest of the forenoon. March opened
at 693. rallied to 6.9S and fuctuated lazily
between those prices until after noon. Then
there was heavy selling for Wall street and
Chicago account. Prices gave way a few
points and March sold down to 6.SS, but
there was a good demand at the decline and
