The trouble with Mr.. Edward
Lauterbachs Ridiculous threat of
armed resistance to the will of the
people as expressed at the polls, if
that expression should be hostile to

recognize it ne q bit OF oratorical
fustian, and while we may Concede

the better clashes, the are not enough

of New York State, in an inter

May II, 1896; had the following ia
say of Mnlor Mckinley, the candi

have the accidental advantage Of
the association of his name with

i'll.
"Mr. Mckinley, as / think the
Tribune recently remarked, had

trial law than had either Gov.
Dhg,ey or Senator Aldridge, but
simply because of his position AZ
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee Of the 51st Congress
it has borne his name, and there
seem to he a good many people
who labor under the impression
that he wrote it line for line, and
that the theory that it embodies
originated in his colossal intel
lect.
"The American people have
shown that they ioh't want rad
zeal tariff in any direction. =
Mr.. Mckinley represents the most
radical and extreme view Of pro.
lection.
gully As IMPORTANT as
the Tantf bill, YES MORE so, is
that measure which must be de-
viScd to render our currency sys.
tenn Ineligible, safe, and elastic.
1t Major Mckinley has any real
convictions OH the subject of the
currency, they are not revealed in
his votes or his speeches. He vot-
led once for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. II" voted to
override the veto Ivy President
Hayes of the Bland hill, and at
different lines Ire has voted in di-
rect cOnaict with these. |
am credibly informed that the in
struction for Mckinley by the Cal
ifoniia convention was obtained
by the promise on the part of his
managers of It Cabinet office, and
by the further promise that he
would sign any silver legislation
that could be got through the next
Congress. Yhe Repnb-

ing an equivOcal position on this
subject, stands out firmly as an
advocate of sound and thorough
reform of the currency, WITH
GOLD AS THE STANDARD OF
VALUE"
And this vacillating creature is
the man whom the gold bugs of
Virginia are trying to deliver the
electoral vote of the Old D0min-
ion. They may be honest in their
claim of patriotism, but after Il
careful examination of the records
Of Bryan and Mckinley 1t would
seem that the boilers were led to
the broad road of patriotism and
duty over q glitteripg pathway of
gold.

Gold.

"No enduring fabric of national
prosperity can be builded on gold.
Gold is the money of monarchs
Kings covet it, the exchanges oil na-
tons are effected by it; it's tendency
Is TO accumulate vast mas ,es in com
mercial centers and to move from
kingdom to kindom in such volumes
as to dnsettle values and stir mp the
finances Of the world. Il is the in
strument of gamblers and specula-
tors and the idol of the miser and
thief. The object of so much adora,
ton, it becomes naughty and sensi.
tive and shrinks Mt the approach of
danger, aud when it is most needed
1T always disappears at the slightest
alarm; it begins to look for refuse; it
flies through the nations at war to
the nations at peace. War makes it
fugitive. No people in great
emergency ever found a faithful ally
in gold. 1t is She most cowardly
and treacherous of all metals. 1t
makes no treaty that it does not
break. 1t has no friends whom it
does not sooner or later betray. AR
mics and Davies are not maintained
by gold. In time of panic and ca
lamity and shipwreck and disaster
1T becomes the chief agent and minis
ter of ruin. No nation ever fought
great war by the aid of gold On
the ntlary. i'll the crisis OF grent
peril it becomes an enemy more Do
tent than the foe in the gold. But
when the battle is won and peace
has been secured gold reappears and
claims the fruits OF victory.r-J. j.

An outbreak of popular enthu-
siasm followed mp Bryan's nomina.
ton. As soon as the Republican
managers had time to catch their
bretth and collect their scattered
wits they pnt on an air of composure
and declared that the popular de.
monstratioh would speedily subside,
and that campaign of education
would disclose to the masses the
folly of free silver and seal the fate
OF Bryan and his followers. And so
the Republican press rang with the
cry Of a campaign of education"
Accordingly, the educational cam.
pa'gn was set on foot with tremen-
dons rigor. That was three months
ago. The election is now less than
month off, and if education
means conversion to the gold stan
dard, the masses of the people are
more deeply In ignorance than they
were ut the beginning. In other
words the effect of thought, reAec
ton and study Of the currency gues.
ton has been to augment by hun.
dreds of thousands in all sections OF
the country the advocates of the
free coinage of silver.
The cause of pilnetallism, and the
friends of Bryan, having nothinS to
fear but all to gain, from diligeni
study and thorough understanding OF
the currency question. At no mo
ment since the Chicago nominations
were made have the prospects OF
success been so bright as they are tc
day. The overwhelming ovation
Bryan is receiving wherever he goes
is without any precedent in the his
tory OF our politics. The desire is
universal and intense to see and
hear the marvellous man who is sc
proudly and triumphantly holding
aloft the Democratic banner. Hi.
audience day by day vary from five tc
fifty thousand according to the pop
ulation of the locality where he
speaks, and where he addresses the

Gentlemen.-I have consid-
cred the matters submitted to
me and make reply as follows:

'SS, page l6, each magisterial
district of the county, and
each ward in the city, unless
the county or ward be devided
into more election districts than
one, and when thus sub-divided,
each subdivision of the j6agis-
terial district and each sub-di-
vision of the city becomes and
is made an election district"
The voter must be registered
in the election district in which
he resides, and residence" is
"the crucial test" of the right
to be registered. Once placed
upon the register in the district
of his residence, the voter must
remain thus registered until he
changes his residence, and with
-out change of residence there
can be no transfer of the voter,
(Section so, Code of Virginia,

swer, applying these principles:
Voters can only register in the

To your "seco#f'- that once
registered, the voter cannot be
transferred without he changes
his residence from one voting
place to another: AS | read
and construe the law "voting

trict and voting place or
