ASSAULT OF THE TIMES ON DANIEL

The Richmond Times OF yesterday
makes the following allusion to the
speech Of Senator John W. Daniel al Dan
Vile on Tuesday night OF last week, after
commenting upon some other expressions
in his speech:
"But Senator Daniel added In the same
speech. in answer to the question from
the audience, What's the matter win
Arkansas?
".She's all right. II the Republicans
gave us a rolling in Vermont, with 5oVu
majority. we have answered with 6o0oo.
Honors are even. we are going 10 nave
the solid South
"Mr. Daniel might have added: And we
could have made the Arkansas majority
10000 IL we had chosen
Now. we tell Senator Daniel that, IL
there IS any danger OF revolution ana
bloodshed, Il comes from the avowed
determination TO have a solid South In
connection with the recent election In
Arkansas. The whole country has come
TO understand that the solid South
rests here in large part upon stuffed bal
Iot-boxes. II Mr.. Bryan is heavily de-
feated in the North. East. and Middle
West. whese the elections give express
sion to the real will OF the majority, but
secures an apparent majority In the eiec-
toral college by fraudulent elections In
the Southern States, does Senator Daniel
believe that the sober and serious peo-
ple of this country will resign themselves
TO Altgeld, Tillman. and Debs upon such
a case without a murmur in the way OF
protests"
This is the first time In the history of
politics In Virginia that we have ever
known any man to asperse the personal
character OF Senator John w. Daniel, and
vet how can we construe the language
Of the Times as anything else than such
an aspersion, when 1t declares that he
might have added. "And we could have
made the Arkansas majority 10000. II
we had chosen" Does the Times mean
to say that Senator Daniel would lend
himself TO any fraudulent methods that
would have brought about such result?
Tel Is in league with ballot-box stufiing?
Does the Times mean to declare that
John w. Daniel. whom the Virginia peo-
pie love so much, is a man unworthy OF
their confidence?
The Times never seems TO weary Of
denouncing our own people. 10000 ma
jority in Maine or a 10000 majority in
Vermont is all right. These are Republic
can States, and the Times is not will
ing to admit that the Republicans
can do wrong anywhere. But the GO,OO0
majority of Arkansas is all fraudulent
in the eyes Of the Times. 1t is only the
southern Democrats, according to the
Times, who cheat at the polls and who
obtain election results by unworthy
means. SO anxious is II to join Mr.. In
gals and the other South-haters in their
denunciations of our own people that 1t
has words of condemnation only for Vir-
ginia Democrats, and nothing but praise
for it's Republican allies. Has II come
10 this, that the boiling Democrats Of
Virginia are willing to keep step to any
| such music as this? VIII they endorse
| the Times in its outrageous assault upon
the Democratic party in this State?
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-09-16

, There IN nothing that the Republico-
bolting- democratic leaders and organs IN
ysigh against more virulently than the
ANITA Federal interference plank OF the
Chicago platform. According TO 1nese
leaders and organs that plank is sur
charged with the virus OF communism
socialism, and anarchy. Yet what ala the
Richmond Times. the leading virginia
organ of the above-named combination
have 20 say on the subject Of Federal IN
>s,ference In state matters when the
Homestead riot was under discussion. we
quite from the comments OF the Ilmes
on the resolution of the United States
Senate to investigate that riot:
."rbe Congress OF the United States Is
for4,ldded and most wisely forbidcen
Nv the Constitution OF the United States
20 mass any act which by any possibility
can have the remotest connection WIFI
preserving and maintaining the peace
when a collision takes place within tn'
borders OF a State between Two inoiViu
Uals or two sets OF individuals. IL Is the
very cornerstone OF our nperues anu our
form of government that such matters
are 10 be dealt with by our state iegisla
lures and our State officials. and W.
should soon have a central despotism IL
this were not So"
Verify consistency Is Jewel not TO b
found in the record OF the Times. Blu
We may add that II the Times was RICH
In tbs paragraph we have Just quoted
II cannot escape conviction OF the charge
that II IL now engaged In an attempt Il
destroy the cornerstone of our liberties
ana II II Is right in It's present position
Il Is convicted by its own argument
against the Chicago platform OF havini
! In 1889 preached communism. socialism
and anarchy-a doctrine worse than tn
shotgun election policy-as terrible q
that was-it afterwards proclaimed.

CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION.

The oddities affect to believe that to
change the administration at Washington
will have tendency TO unsettle the bust
ness affairs of the country. and they call
upon the people TO vote for Mckinley
and against Bryan for next President
OF the United States. That is to say,
the Republican rule is to be perpetuated
forever; for If II would be unwise to turn
out a President because of his long SER
vice in Office, each change would become
more and more dangerous with the pas
sage of time, and so we should never
have another President.
But there will be no harm come to
the country because of Bryan's election.
The evil effects of a change of admin
istration. If any are threatened. have al
ready been discounted by the business
interests as well as by the masses of the
people. But there are no evils threaten
ed. on the contrary, the land is covered
with men who expect good times to be-
gin to give signs of their coming as soon
as coinage becomes free. These men
know what they are, and what they teach
the people on this subject They know
that until the silver question is settled
all other questions must be held in abey-
ance.
An obstructing Congress and President
| of the United States might work evil for
awhile, but not long. The life of such
a Congress would be short. indeed, If the
| coinage manacles were once broken oil
| the wrists of the men who have so long
been wearing them. 1t is time for the
peopIe to assert themselves, and they are
going to do 1t next November They
have waited for some legislation In their
behalf. They have waited until their
patience is exhausted. They purpose to
! wait no longer. They know their rights
and they intend TO make the goldites
know these same rights. too.
But isn't 1t ridiculous for the goldites
TO present such arguments as that th'
election of Bryan will alarm the people
The people know exactly what the sill
verites want. They have, we repeat, dis
counted all that the silverites could do
sven II they were wicked enough to at
,erpt TO ruin the country-a thing 1t Il
preposterous and libeilous to assume
they would attempt to do.

The Expected In Maine.
New York Journal.)

tNcW 1O1k
Mr.. Manley's little scheme has been
carried out to the letter, but whether
il will produce the desired effect remains
an open question. Mr.. Manley knew that
all the conditions in Maine this year
were favorable for an unprecedented Re
publican victory. and he shrewdly re-
solved TO give the expected triumph It's
most telling effect by pretending TO look
for only an ordinary majority. or, per-
haps, something just a little better. The
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee played into his hands by making
extravagantly sanguine estimates OF
Democratic strength. and processing TO
believe that the Republican majority was
going to be kept down to normal hgures
The Maine Democracy entered this con-
test under circumstances that would have
demoralized and defeated dominant
party and Democracy in Maine has been
for decades a helpless minority. The
party has been torn by factions, and this
year, after one faction had secured the
control Of the state convention and nomi-
mated a ticket the other furnished the
national candidate for the vice-presi-
dency; whereupon, there was an overturn

a new platform, and new candidate for

party that could not possibly carry an
election, even IL II were united. the only
wonder Is that it is able to make any
showing at all.
And yet the Democratic party In
Maine does not appear to have lost
any votes That is the real miracle or
the election. 1t seems even to nave
gained. The Democratic vote. which was
| So.62l two years ago. appears to nave
| grown to over 5000. But the Republ-
can vote has grown In still greater pro-
| norton, as is natural when we consider
| that many disaffected Democrats voted
| the Republican ticket, and that the Re-
| publican managers had unlimited money
| TO bring the last tottering octogenarlan
| OF their reserves to the polls.
The Maine election emphasizes the les
son OF Vermont-that is to say. II proves
that Mr.. Bryan can expect no votes from
the northeastern corner OF the Union.
| But he needs none there. He can be
elected without single vote from north
of the Potomac and east OF the WABASH
although II is to be hoped. for the sake
| of the national welfare. that New VOTE
and New Jersey. at least, will break the
| sectional division.

GREAT BRITAIN AND TURKEY.

That is, that she will act summar'iy' IL

its strength not from one party, but from

on the Turkish question with no uncertain
