ior Mckinley spoke with delberation at
first. reading from q typewritteD manu-
script. His speech was full OF points
which were earnestly applauded. De-
preston in agriculture always follows
low tariff legislation, he declared.
The farmer is suffering to-day be-
cause the number of his competitors has
increased and his best customers are
out of work. We cannot decrease COM
petition. but a restoration of the protec-
five policy would give work to your
costumers. Major Mckinley spoke of
the benefits of reciprocity and showed
what the farmer had lost In foreign
markets. Free silver, he said, will not
cure overproduction, nor under con-
sumption. You do not get consumers
through the mint. You get them
through the factories. These senti-

A Life Prisoner pnrdonea.

Richmond. Va. Aug. 24.-Governor
OF'errall tonight pardoned Wayman
sutton. of Wythe county who was serv-
ing a life sentence In the penitentiary.
sutton was convicted of killing one Pc
ter Harvell and sentenced to be hanged.
An appeal was taken, the Judgment
OF the lower court was confirmed and
ne was again sentenced. The day OF
execution was, however, by mistake
nxed for Sunday, and he was resen-s
fenced. The night before the day fixed
FOR his execution he was released from
1ail bV citizens and escaped to the State
OF Washington, though it is said he pro-
tested against release on the ground
that he was innocent, and to accept IT
would be an admission that he was
guilty.. He lived in his new home three
wears. but was finally recognized and
brought back and sentenced to be hang
ed within eight days. The Judge, how
ever. recognized that he had not given
the prisoner the length of time between
sentence and execution allowed by the
statute and consequently resentenced
him. Thus he was five times sentenced
Sutton was brought back to Virginia
under the administration of Governor
Mckinney. who after giving the matter
great consideration, entertained such
grave doubts. owing to Suttons high
character and the many singular CIR,
cumstances surrounding the case, that.
he commuted his sentence to imprison-
ment for life. Ever since Governor
O'Ferrall has been in office great pres
sure has been brought to bear upon him
to pardon Sutton. and it may be said
that he has given months of study to
the case. Sutton has steadfastly pro-s
tested his innocence and has fayorably
impressed every one who has been
thrown in contact with him.

There is growing MP an expectation
that President Mckinley, who knows Il
great deal more about the money ques-
ton than the gold standard man like to
think he does, will be disposed to make
use OF his knowledge in his recommen-
dation to the new congress. 1t is not
at all impossible that he will scandalize
the monomerallists by taking the re-
publican platform seriously and urging
efforts looking toward international BIZ
metallsm. 1t is also not improbable
that he will be averse to radical action
in the matter OF increasing the privileg
es and power OF the national banks.
Major Mckinley is cautious man, he
being .ong time in public life and is a
shrewd student vi popular sentiment.

1t is evident that great many OF the

with the victory they have won. They
read with no concealed misgiving the
signs OF the times and are inclined to
temper their rejOicings with suggestions
which Indicate the treTd OF their

issue OF the late campaign was between
the money power aud the people. They
know the arrogance and lnsolent disre-
gard OF popular rights which character
ize the conducr OF the one, and the in
tellgence and stern determination Of
the other. They are aware that still
