LIEUTENANT O'FERRALL of the reg
ular Confederate army, Lieutenant
Colonel O'Ferrall of Imboden's irregu,
lar command, and Governor oFerraii
of Virginia, recently took the totally
unnecessary trouble of issuing long
public letter to the people of the State
which few of them read, in which
ne said he chad always denounced
populism." That's one of Mr.. OFFER
RAILS statements. But the same Mr..
OFerrall, when candidate for Con-
gress, over his own name, endorsed the
resolutions of the Page county alliance,
which declared for the free and unilm'
tied coinage of silver, the repeal OF the
national bank act, government owner
ship of railroads and telegraphs, for
flexible currency, and for a sub-treasury
system, which resolutions went much
further in the line of populism thar
any thing adopted by the Chicago con
vention. But probably Mr.. O'Ferral
was "too busy" then to study such
questions. He should not, however
forget himself

Speaker Crisp. The only recognition
of the event at the Capitol was due to
the thoughtfulness of Mrs. Owen,
daughter of Representative Bankhead.
of Alabama, who came to the Capitol
early this morning and draped Judge
Crisp's picture in the group of portraits
of ex.speakers in the corridor back of
the speakers chair with mourning
crepe.
1t is the settled belief here now that
the result of the coming election de-
ponds entirely upon the labor vote, and
that should it be cast for Bryan he will
be elected by an immense majority.
The labor men here say at least ninety
per cent. of it will go that way, but they
concede that money and coercion may
effect change before the day of cleo
ton. A private letter received here
to-day from one of the twelvs thousand
employees of Swift and Company's es-
Enlistment in Chicago, says that
though all of them wear Mckinley
badges and shout for Mckinley, at least
eight thousand of them will vote for
Bryan, and that such will be the case
with like proportion of the seventy
| five thouse 4 men who were recently
coerced into maj CHING in the Mckinley
procession in that city.
Familiars at the White House say
the President is as much interested IN
having Mr.. Bryan defeated as he could
be in anything in which his own indi-
vidual interests are not directly In
volved; that he is striving by all the
available means in his power to effect
that result, as was proved by his poiti-
cal speech at the dedication of col
lege building, and that he is happy in
the expectation that his desire will be
gratified. AS the party that nominated
him three times refused to give him q
fourth nomination and declined to thank
him for the great injury he had inhct'
ed upon it, his small spirit now gloats
with ghoulish glee over what his hope
leads him to believe will be its ire.
