READ TnES DEMOCRATS.

The Philadelphia Press OF Monda,
last contains an article which Is at one,
an outrage and an insult to every Dem
ocrat in Virginia. 1t says:
THE gold Democrats OF Virginia
propose TO offer to pay Democratic
election officers to perform their
duty in this election. The charge
has been frequently made, and their
apparent claim sometimes proved,
that the Virginia Democrats have
been guilty of the groSsest frauds In
the black belt counties OF the State.
These frauds, il committed. must be
BY the connivance of the election
officers at the polling precincts.
The plan of the gold Democrats is
to offer considerab BILE sum of money
to election officers to see that the
election at their respective places
is conducted with absolute fairness
and correctness. The idea seems to
be to place the officers of election in
the black districts in position
where they will not be apt to sue
cumb to the wiles Of the Democrats.
This scheme was considered by the
Populists in the Presidential cam
paign four years ago, but that party
did not have the means to carry out
the scheme"
This is the kind of warfare some o.
the Republican newspapers are makinf
upon the Democracy of the country, ant
vet there are men who, after afflliatinf
with the Democratic parts, for years
men who must share part OF the odiun
of the Press charge-are practically
supporting Mckinley. 1t is not stated
where the Press got it's information. bu
the men who attempts what that paper
says is to be the programme will get
into trouble. and there'll be no mistake
about the result

sror OVER AND SEE THE snow

Mark Hanna wont let Mckinley take
the stump. and less his existence may be
forgotten, his friends on the outside have
struck upon novel plan of getting the
people to visit Canton, where he is DOM
iciied. and to this end the railroads In
terested In his election have made spe-
cial rates to persons going West through
Ohio. with the understanding that they
will stop over and see Mckinley. The
New Orleans Times Democrat says that
this accounts for 50 many people visitr
ing Canton, and adds that Under these
rates ii costs only one third as much TO
go from Western points to Canton and
return. II YOU stop over and see McKln-
lev. as the ordinary fare there. 1t pays
all persons travelling East or West,
therefore, to visit the Ohio town, reduc-
ins the travelling expenses"

ALAnsI IN SEW YORK.

When Mr.. Bryan was nominated at
set down as certain by his opponents
was that he would get some votes in the
West and South, but not enough to be
of any service 10 him, while the line
would be drawn at the East and be-
yond that he'd get nothing worth speak
ing of. But is this so? Colonel John
Byrne, chairman OF the New York
Sound Money League, who has just re-
turned to the Metropolis from an en-
tended trip through the rural districts
of New York State. tells his friends
that If the election was to occur to-mor-
row Bryan would carry New York by
10000 majority

Colonel Byrne returned to New
York city yesterday from a tour Of

ana the gold bug Democrats In a
nuriy by declaring that If the cleo
ton came off now Bryan would
carry New York by 100000 majority.
Testimony of this kind from an ar
dent Mckinley man and a bitter op-
ponent of Bryan may be worth CON
