Vanity of vanitiss. saith the prea cher. all i,
vanity"
And it is even 90 with politics.;
For, il one attaineth unto the highest Offices in
the gift If tho people
What hath he attained after ALI
What hath he to own, but vain and empty
glory.
Which is as feeting as vain life. and cen
moro sol
Or what hath he to leave behind and when the
days of his vanity have passed.
Verify, politics is the greatest Of all vaniti es
Now that we are to have q pop gov
ernor and legislature, let US bow to the
inevitable without so much apprehen-
sion. Governor Holcomb has publicly
proclaimed his views. The people Of
this state and the money kings Of the
east need no longer remain in dread Of
radical or vicious legislation. Tho large
majority given Governor Holcomb in
this state attests the fact that thousands
Of Nebraskas best business men voted
for bin, even though they they did vote
the balance of the republican ticket.
And that the judgment OF these thous-
ands Of republicans, insofar a. they be-
lieved Holcomb to be an efficient and
conservative executive was not at fault.
His letter evinces this fact; his record
for the past two years proves it.
And Governor Holcomb, keen man
that he 10. feels what il expected at his
hands in return for the great confidence
reposed in him. He is aware that he is
the recognized leader Of the pepulists Of
this state. and that he will either make
. good record or destroy his political
future by his policy this winter.
1t may also be asserted that the pops
Of this year are not Of the rabid class Of
some years. Like all other political
bodies. they, too, have learned the great
importance Of conservatism and con-
sistency. They know the attitude Of
banks and other corporations; they real
ize that by their actions the credit OF
Nebraska will either be maintained or
hopelessly shattered. And having
knowledge Of these facts, one can
hardly believe that the coming state
dignitaries will jeopardiss their chances
for further success by trsading on the
toes OF Governor Holcomb or by the ad-
vocacy of measures which have ton
dency to injure the state. 1t is also
believed that the populists will not tom
per with matters affecting local politics.
though they may cut the city charter to
some extent.
And speaking ON this subject, it
should DO stated that great many
newspapers injure the state to the same
extent that populism is said to do. The
papers in question, instead Of makiog
the best of an unsatisfactory bargain,
have the pernicious habit Of disparaging
the states credit in their every issue.
Instead Of advising and encouraging q
good administration, they ridicule and
it. Instead Of mourning the
friendship Of tbs opposition,
they only intensity its enmity. And all
this to the detriment of the state.
While The Courier does not desire to
maintain a pop legislature, it is i'm
pressed with the fact that much benefit
would inure to the state would the press
but temporarily bolster up broad and
safe policy, and give the populists credit

Virginia is safely democratic, ac
cording to the advices received
through our exchanges and other
wise, and is likely to continue so des-
pite the croakings of a few seedy gold
bug orators, and the alliance which
has been made through them with
our old enemy, the republicans. OF
course Virginia is democratic and
will cast her vote for VIM. Jennings
Bryan in November. With more at
stake in lands and money than all
other parties in Virginia combined,
it would be strange, if a few men like
O'Ferrall who have fed upon her
bounty until there is nothing left for
them to expect, could make Virgin
ians forget the duty they owe to
themselves and all that is sacred to
them in the past. The question with
us is not one of victory, but how big
the victory will be. In the mighty
struggle for financial freedom which
the democratic party of Virginia is
now making,it ought to be the grand
est in her history, and would be if
Virginians were true to themselves.
Accomac, of course, stands by the
colors of the democratic party and
ought to be as she has been in the
past the banner democratic county
of the State. Citizens of Accomac
what say You? There has been but
one answer to this query in the past,
and it should be the same ut the cleo
ton in November. Register to-day,
if you have not already attended to
that important duty, and go to the
polls early on election day and cast
your votes as freemen for the demo-
cratic candidates.

ground, he let's you know pretty
quick, that he is not going to take
any such price for his silver dollars;
for he knows they are worth 100
cents and he will not take a cent less.
Such a test removes all doubt, or
shadow of doubt, as to the sincerity
of him who tries to impose upon the
credulity of others what he himself
does not believe. The fact is, we all
know that standard silver dollar of
the United States is good, sound
money and is Il 100 cent dollar, neither
more nor less.
But, if there be among us any man
so wise as seriously to believe that
such a dollar is worth only SO cents,
he ought to be very cautious about
one thing.-and that is never to go
too close to the river for fear he might
accidentally set it on fire.
And yet this arbitrary and fall
lacious assumption of Il So cent dollar
is the tlimsy foundation on which is
based by our republican opponents
the superstructure of their opposi-
ton TO silver; structure, in which
is worshipped the golden calf on
whose sacreligious altar the people
are called upon blindly to sacrifice
their interests: a structure, the fate
of which assuredly must be like that
of a certain house of which we have
often heard, 1.-THE winds blew and the
rains beat upon it, the house FELL
for it was built upon sand,-and
great was the fall thereof.
Fellow citizens, l am glad to know
that II great OVERLOOKING sentiment
prevails among the people in favor
of the free coinage of silver as well
as of gold at the long established
ratio of 1G to /. That sentiment is
Indicative, il is significant, it is evil
dence indeed of the true wisdom of
that policy; for never is there a dis
cord between genuine, enlightened
public sentiment and sound policy;
it is when great nation is in great
difficulties that the people must
think for themselves and come to the
best conclusion of which human wis
dom is capable, and such conclusion
should be accepted as that which is
wise and just.
And, fellow-c citizens, if ever there
was q time that calls on us for no
ordinary conception of things and for
exertions in no ordinary strain, it is
the solemn hour, on the 3rd OF
November next, when we go to the
polls to cast our votes for or against
the best interests of the people Of
these United States; for or against
William J. Bryan, the chosen repre-
sentative and faithful champion of
those interests. Let us be equal to
that great occasion, and discharge III
Il BETTING manner the high duty to
which we are called.
A CtITIZEN
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1896-10-24

In 1890 Mckinley said: But all
agree that we must have a larger
volume OF money, and that the added
volume shall be silver, or its equiva-
lent based on silver
AT that time we were putting into
circulation about $24,000,000 a year
under the Bland act, and Mr.. McKin-
ley advocated the Sherman act on
the ground that it would increase the
amount of money to be put into cir
culation among the people.
I'VE propose to give to this coun-
try what gentlemen upon the other
side of the house could not do, what
they did not dare TO for four years
We propose to give to the country a
silver bill that will take all of the
silver, practically, of the United
States, and make it available for the
use of the peoplk. Extract from the
speech of Bryan.

TO PREPARE 4 BALLOT.

Scratch out the names of al,
the candidates for President anc
Vice President, except those OF
Bryan and Sewall.
Do not, under any circum-
stances, scratch the name of any
Elector on the ticket, but leave
them all of every party un-
touched. This is important,
In voting for member Of Con
gress you scratch out the names
of those for whom you do not
wish to vote, leaving only the
name Of the candidate for whom
you desire your ballot to be cast.
No name is legally scratched
unless the mark extends at least
three-fourths of the way through
it.-Extract from circular issued
by Chairman Ellyson.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1896-10-24

The following extract from letter
of one VIM. E. Curtis to the Chicago
Record shows spirit of venom and
malicnity on the part of those who
call themselves, sound money demo
Gratis which cannot but call forth a
feeling of the deepest Indignation in
most Virginians, whatever their
views on the financial question
There is also TO be a guard of
three sound money democrats for
every polling place. When man
approaches the polls he will be asked
whom ne intends to vote for. After
he leaves the voting booth he will be
asked TO sign an affidavit that he has
carried out that intention. 1t is as
Sumed that every man who has
voted for Mckinley will be willing
TO sign an affidavit TO that effect, and
these affidavits will be submitted to
the State Board that canvasses the
pond with the afiidavits, the Sound
Money Committee will allese fraud
and demand corrections. If that is
denied they will appeal TO the United
States Courts, and ask for an injunc-
ton restraining the Governor from
issuing certificates to electors who
are shown TO have been fraudulently
elected. Both the Governor and the
Secretary of State will recognize and
obey such an injunction. and the
electoral vote OF Virginia will not be
sent to Congress.
The above recalls the days of Ma
honeism but discloses a scheme to in
timidate the people and prevent
them casting their votes as freemen,
UNNECESSARILY worse than any that
Malone ever attempted. Malone at
tempted to coerce the negroes; but
the project Of the sound money Dem
ocratsn is to coerce the whites, and
especially corporation employees.
Processing to be great sticklers for
the Australian ballot system they
would thus violate both the spirit
and the letter Of the law. Crying out
for honest elections" they would
thus put into operation the worst
scheme Of intimidation ever devised
to make the humble employees of
wealthy corporations vote for man
they do not favor. a system
OF espionage more monstrous could
not have been thought of than the one
proposed by the coalition party in
the State, and every democrat, what
ever financial policy he may think
best for the State, cannot but repu-
date this scheme to destroy the free
dom of the ballot in the State. There
ought not to be any division of senti-
nent among Yirginians as to their
duty as to the 'spctting system" pro-
posed. Let it be buried so deep be-
meath democratic ballots On the Ord
of November that neither it nor those
who advocate it will ever attempt
again to destroy the right of suffrage
and liberty of the citizens of Virginia

The republican party practically
admits that the single gold stand
ard is bad thing; else why did it
declare for bimetallism by interna
tional agreement? The democratic
party also declared for bimetallism,
but it refused to recognize or admit
the necessity for any international
agreement. The democratic party
believes that this republic is great
enough and strong enough and in
telligent enough to decide its own
financial policy, without asking the
consent Of any foreign power.
