Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-09-03

A correspondent Of the Baltimore sun
interviewed Mr.. Joseph Bryan at indian
apoHs. where he appears as "a delegate
at-large" in the boilers national conven-
lion, and has transmitted to his paper the
following as the result thereof:
Mr.. Joseph Bryan. Of Richmond a dele
gate-at-large. is enthusiastic over the
situation. The attendance OF the cohVeh-
ron Is greater than he expected, Whlle
the increase OF sound-money adherents
ne declares. sis advancing in geometrical
progression, doubling and trebling right
along" -
II Is stated by Mr. Bryan that the Viz
,,inia delegation Is strongly in favor OF
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, for first place
with General Buckner, Of Kentucky, for
second place This he thinks would be
the strongest combination that could De
formed for southern and western sup
port.
o. will be nominated in the Richmond dis
trlct. and may receive the support Of the
Republicans. Hon. George ID. wise Is
fhe choice of the honest-money men for
This nomination.
the Virginia delegation is in favor OF
the gold standard and system OF cur
rency resembling that outlined In the
'i5altinorc IldH. AAO iH~S-i-N "a ''S-~
also some adserents.
Delegate Bryan says q third ticket viii
poll from fifteen 20 thirty thousand votes
IN Virginia, and that he never saw men
more confident Of defeating the free-silver
heresy than the patriots assembled at In
dianapolis.
"The patriots assembled at Indianapo-
lis" is good. These patriots" were so
patriotic that they elected themselves as
delegates TO represent a party from which
they have severed their connection, but
whose banner they would carry of and
Get I'D alongside that Of McKinleys.
They are patriotic enough 20 wish 10
form a coalition with Waddill. Allan &
co. to break the Democratic party Of
Virginia into pieces and TO hand over all
OF our election machinery and Offices TO
the coalition. They are patriots enough
10 wish 10 Gust John w. Daniel from his
seat I'm the Senate of the United States,
and put into his place another man who
IS a better Democrat than Ben. Hill"
They are patriots Of such a stamp as
would doom the BLACK Belt of Virginia
10 the tender mercies of an ignorant ma
tority and their mean white allies"
They are patriots" who represent few
businessmen and no farmers. Not one
of them can say that he or any member
of the boilers convention was elected by
the farmers OF his county. Nor can any
one OF them who undertakes TO repre-
sent Richmond, directly or indirectly,
successfully claim that at the widely-ad-
gertised meeting held here TO elect dele
rates 10 "the state convention" more than
about 100 voters participated.
Delegate Bryan speaks OF what
the Republicans would do In case
OF the sound-money men making
u congressional nomination. He doubtl
less knows the Republicans views
There Is very close contact be-
tween the boiling Democrats and the Re
publicans here. for they have a common
purpose-the defeat o. Bryan and the
Democratic nominee for Congress. Be-
fore this campaign IS over we believe that
II viii be apparent even 10 the most un-
obseryant and unsusplcious gold Demo-
crat that a coalition has been formed be-
tween their faction and the Republican
party. Then We shall see the men who
have derided as for seeking the Popullst
vote colioguing With the party OF John
Mitchell. Lewis Lindsay. Ct al.
D~issste Bryan predicts that his faction
