vote this time for sound money. After
surveying the field am convinced that
more than five hundred men In Roanoke
who have previously voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. will vote against free silver
In the coming election. and the indca-
tons are that the city will give a ma
jority against Bryan.
In the counties of Bedford and Camp
bell there is gradual but sure change
of sentiment on the currency question.
Bedford county has always been a Dem
ocratic stronghold. but / have found
that many OF those who a few weeks
ago were outspoken in their support OF
free silver are now disposed to doubt
the ACCESSIBILITY of making such radi-
ell change I'm our financial system. and
others have gone so far as TO tell me
that they will not support Bryan. The

after studying the situation myself. l
am persuaded that these leaders Will
be much disappointed in the result OF

ter going over the ground In Lynchburs
nv conclusion IS that there will be from
500 70 COO Democrats who will not sup
port Bryan. As an illustration, l cite
the fact that two hundred employees oil
one manufacturing concern, who have
heretofore voted the Democratic, will
this time vote almost solidly against
Bryan. / find the same conditions IN
nearly all tho manufacturing plants
which I visited. In Lynchburg, as else
where. there Is a notable change OF SEN
timent within the past few weeks on
the part OF workingmen. and while
was sitting I'm the headquarters OF the
National Democratic party for a little
while. T saw four workingmen come IN
and ask for literature saying that they
were ION the fence and desired 20 In
form themselves. I questioned them. and
they said that similar changes were in
progress among their associates.

other sections, because Of the nogrC

the towns, as well as In some Of the
rural districts. there are many Dem"crat'
who are outspoken in their opposition q
Bryan. and q large number OF Others
who are not favorable 20 the Chicago
ticket, but who are holding their peace

present this week the name of gentle
man for that position whose superior
cannot be found and whose equals are
few. We refer to Mr.. A. F. Miles.
Mr.. Miles possesses all the qualifications
necessary to fill the office with honor to
himself and to his constituents. He is
a thorough lawyer, convincing in his
arguments and withal just to those who
have dealings with him. A Democrat
who has ever been ready to face the
thickest Of the feht at the call of his
party, he deserves well at their hands,

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported TO rs as cured by j" Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal diseasel You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
but who have been forced to confess that
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod.
liver oil and its filthy "emulsious and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene.
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo-
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
In vain.
