SURE OF VIRGINIA.
The Clerk of the State Senate Talks Over
the Situation.

Among the callers ut Democratic head
quarters to-day was Mr.. Joseph Button,
clerk OF the Virginia senate and secre-
tary OF the State Democratic committees
Mr.. Button gives an encouraging report
of the outlook for Democratic success in
the Old Dominion. When asked as to
the probable majority for Bryan he said:
1t is very difficult thing to figure upon
maJorities SO far in advance, but there
seems to be no doubt of it's equalling. if
not exceeding, the majority given Mr..
Cleveland four years ago. Mr.. Clev.
lands plurality over Harrison was nm
wards of 5,O0O and his majority over
Harrison and Weaver was over 8. 600. not
wlthstanding the fact that his financial
policy was very unpopular in Virginia
and in direct conflict with the views o.
the Democratic party Of the State as ex-
pressed in their various platforms for
many years past.

have gained many Republicans and Pom

t-ict, State Senator ID. H. Flood. is one
of the boldest and most aggressive Young

been series of political successes. AL
though not yet 81 years of age he has
been elected twice to the house of dele
gates, twice to the senate and twice com
monwealth's attorney of his rative coun-
ty of Appom,.ttoX. He was first elected to
tie house of delegates when only 81 wears
OF age, and was the first Democrat for
years to be elected to any office in the
county. He has the distinction of hay

the selection Of Captain John Lamb, of
Henrico county, as the candidate Col!
Tazewell Ellet made q gallant fight, and
at one time it looked as if he would be
renominated; but the tide turned towards
the close of the contest and Captain
Lamb carried the convention by vote of
81 1-2 to 81 1-2 for his opponent The
nominee is an original free silver advo-
cate and is man of ability and high
standing in the district 1t is believed
that he will make an excellent represent

Wise, although in favor of the gold
standard, has promised to support the
ticket, if the nomination was fairly
made, and this disposes of the talk of
making him the sound money candidate

RESULTS OF THE GOLD STANDARD

An alarming condition of affairs is at
present existing in the Kensington mill
district and much distress and suffering
is ahead for thousands of poor people who
cen see no way at the present tine to pass
through the hard winter. Nearly all the
big textile mills in that section of the city
employing thousands of men, women and
children all dependent upon their weekly
wages for their living, are now shut down
or are running on short time, due to the
depression in business and the silver agi-
tation.
The condition of affairs now threaten
ing Kensington is more serious than that
of the terrible winter of 1893 and "a,
when thousands were out of work and
suffering and famine were OH every side.
This year, however, the crisis is meeting
the people n month earlier than in that
winter, thus showing that state of

Educational Force, as Means to Raise

Rabbi Voorsanger delivered a lecture

"The Evils of Great City and How to
Correct Them"
He said that any man who travels east
erly on Bush street toward the bay actually
passes what Thomas Hood calls the
Bridge of Signs.
The Bridge of Signs suggested the pas
sage from good to evil, the possibility of
travelling from one moral zone to another.

vice, "and we cannot by any manner of
means Iegislate it out of existence. We
must deal with it mercitully, we must
deal with it kindly, we must deal with it
with common sense. Men and women
both are prone to it; mans honor is no
greater strength than woman's purity.
They who are most helpless deserve most
to be helped; they who sin most have
most to learn. 1t is not all viclousness-
20, not even in the gilded palaces: it is
not all sin. There is to be told melan-
choly tale OF lost opportunities and weak
ness, tale OF poverty and temptation
The question was asked, can such things
be remedied, and the answer was, it is not
possible TO remove the germ of evil from
the soil OF human nature
There should be an educational center
so that when men speak of vice, it should
mean those who commit vice. 1t is possi-
