of Nebraska.

ARTHUR SEWALL,
of Maine.
For Congress:
VIM. a. JONES.

To-day we are to have with us in
Richmond convention composed of
gentlemen who will, doubtless, set up
the claim that they are 1.-The demo
cratic party of Virginia." And yet
Richmond city, which has an actual
democratic voting population of be-
tween ten and eleven thousand. Will
be represented by fifty-one delegates
who were elected at meeting which
numbered only about one hundred
persons.-Richmond Dispatch, 27th.
Accomac will be represented in that
convention by delegates elected at a
meeting which numbered only about
thirteen persons, and certainly did
not exceed twenty-five according
to the most liberal estimate of num-
bers given out by the boilers them
selves. Nor could it be called strict
ly democratic gathering as one of the
number has been life long republi-
can. and the spokesman OF the gath
ering and delegate to the Richmond
convention, Hon. Thomas M. Scott
unblushingly declares that he wants
Mr.. Mckinley elected President of
the United States. But whether the
meeting which elected delegates to
Richmond was composed of thirteen
or twenty-five persons, it cannot in
any sense reflect the sentiments of
the democratic voters of Accomac,
and such claim is Indignantly repu-
dated by them. Indeed, it did not
represent the sentiment of one at
least of the number claimed by them
One gentleman who, it is stated, was
atthe meeting and counted among the
boilers, says he was not even in sym
pathy with the object of the meeting
and will vote for Bryan for President.
Nor is it likely that there will be any
accessions to the number counted at
that meeting. Every man in Oman
cock, where the meeting was held, and
In the country surrounding it who
favored the third ticket, we are ad-
vised, was duly informed and ur-
gently invited to attend. On the
contrary, we believe, that many of
the worthy gentlemen composing the
meeting are too good democrats not
to see their error and be willing to
retrace their steps.

The Farmers Alliance of the State
of Virginia met in annual session at
Richmond, Wednesday. The meet
ing was purely a business one, and
not a word OF politics entered into
the deliberations of the body. Presi-
dent B. L. Winston presided over the
meeting. A committee was appointed
to prepare an address to send out to
the Alliances throughout the State,
to create more interest in the Alliance
among its lukewarm members, and
to infuse more life into the organiza-
ton.

Cochran on Shareholders.

Will you submit to this conspiracy
between the professional farmers, the
farmers who cultivate the quarrels of
their neighbors, farmers who labor
with their jaws, Populist agitators
of the West, and the unreconciled
Shareholders of the South? This is a
conspiracy between professional
farmers, who want to pay low wages,
and the unreconciled shareholders,
who would like to pay no wages at
all.-(Extract from the speech of
Bourke Cochran. delivered in New
York August 1Sth.)

The Baltimore Sun is no longer re-
garded as democratic newspaper by
the democrats of Virginia, and in pre-
Stunning to speak for them in the mat
ter, a revulsion of feeling is excited
among them for that journal closely
kin to contempt. Democrats of Vir-
GINA recognize the right of no paper
to speak for them which supported a
republican for Governor last year
and which to day is "cheek by jowl''
with republicans in their efforts to
elect q republican for President.
When. therefore, it says, that no one
who knows the man will challenge the
democracy of Hon. Basil B. Gordon
who succeeded Hon. John S. Bar
bour as chairman of the Virginia
Democratic State Committee" it in
suits the intelligence of every demo
crat in Virginia who knows that Cor
don is now supporting Mckinley for
President. No man can vote for Ma
Jor Mckinley and pretend even to be
a democrat, and no reader of the
Baltimore Sun in Virginia is so stupid
as to be duped into believing to the
contrary by the Baltimore Sun. Cor
don, as every one knows, in taking
the step which he has, has gone over
to the enemy. Gordon was valuable
to the democratic party because of
his liberal contribution to the demo
cratic campaign fund. Gordon as a
leader, because of his ability, cuts no
figure in Virginia, and can exercise
no influence among democrats when
he casts his lot with the republicans.

The object of an army in the United
States is not necessarily, in the main, to
conduct campaigns and fight battles nor
to take human life. AS the city police
must watch over the city and guard it
against all sorts of danger, being ready,
with its weapons of offense or defense, to
strike when other devices fail, so our army
watches against certain dangers to the re-
public, giving nerve and strength to the
executive-helping to restrain wild In
dams, to capture mistaken hordes of
tramps, or to quiet mob violence aimed
against the common veal, or, with naval
help, to hold back a public enemy, but
ready, of course, like the effective city
police, to strike at command when the
commander in chief, with the sovereign
nation behind him, has come to the last
resort of human expedients for guarding
the nations life or it's honor.-Major Gen
eraI o. Q. Howard in Forum.
