read by Chairman W. P. Smith. Then
ensued considerable discussion as to
whether the report should be received
merely or adopted. 1t was settled by a
unanimous vote to adopt the report
with the recommendation therein con-
tanned.
Then followed a long discussion upon
a resolution offered by Commander
John j. Williams, to the effect that no
camp should be entitled to representa-
ton at any meeting of the Grand Camp
which is in arrears in its c~apitation tax.
A modified form of the original resolu-
ton was adopted.
Chaplain j. P. Hyde offered a reso-
luton requesting that a committee be
appointed from this Grand Camp, con
sisting of the members of the Tenth
Virginia regiment that may be present,
TO draft a suitable resolution upon the
recent death of e%x-Speaker Charles F.
Crisp, of Georgia. Adopted.

Camp, by Colonel R. l.. Maury, and
similar resolutions were presented from

ial committee On that subject, appoint
ed at this meeting.

ton that the Grand Camp of Virginia

spector-general, was read and adopted.

MR.. BRYAN IN CHICAGO.

Mr.. Bryan was whirled about Chi
cago all of yesterday from n meeting
place to another, to fulfill the engage
ments made for him. He began at 10
o'clock in the morning and with inter
missions for meals kept up the work
until midnight.
MIR. Bryan's oratorical efforts for the
day numbered eleven, including two
that were scheduled at the last minute.
These two were supposed to be exclu-
sively for women, but many men at.
tended them and led the cheering for
the nominee.
Beginning in the morning with an adj
dress to q crowd offoreign women at st.
Stanislaus' Hall, in the Polish quarter,
he concluded there in time to keep a
promise to speak to an audience OF
business men in Battery d armory at
noon. Three o'clock found him again,
this time in company with Mrs. Bryan,
at Battery D armory, talking to about
5000 well.dressed women, who raved
over him.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock he addressed
an immense open air meeting in tue
stock yards district, probably the most
enthusiastic of the day.
Mr.. Bryan devoted his efforts last
night to the West Side. His last ap-
pearance was set for 10 o'clock, but he
was more than an hour late in keeping
the appointment. N%ovatny's Hall,
Bohemian Turner Hall, Zulaski Hall,
the mammoth tent and Peoples 1nsti-
tute, and the Second Regiment Armory
were visited in turn, and at each the
number of people who endeavored to
obtain admittance far exceeded the
capacity of the places in which be
spoke.
His greatest reception of the evening
in point of numbers and enthusiasm
was at the tent. The canvas structure
was not a third large enough to accom-
mo0ate those who sought entrance, and
many thousand people stood for hours
deeply massed on the outside, patiently
waiting but unable to see or hear the
man of whom they had heard so
much.
When Mr.. Bryan returned to the
Auditorium annex after midnight he
went to bed to be prepared for bis early
start this morning on a flying trip to
towns near Chicago.
At Mr.. Bryan's request the two stu
dents who were arrested for throwing
eggs at the silver parade Tuesday were

Mr.. INGALLS,, OF Ohio, president OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company-which has received valuable
franchises from Virginia-who is now
the head and front of the scheme by
which it is hoped to crrry the State for
her enemies and to scare the democratic
employees of his road into the sup
port of Mckinley. is likely to find that
Virginians who are railroad employees
are neither bulldozed nor purchased as
easily as he imagined, and that they
appreciate at its full value the insult Of
his attempted tyranny, and will resent it
next Tuesday in the most effective way.
What the Legislature may do with him
is a question for future consideration.
States can get along without the aid Of
railroads, but railroads find it hard
matter to get along without the aid of
States-a truth which Mr.. ingalls, seems
to have entirely overlooked.

that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out ervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
o;virp tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver

throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

was said about the affair at the time,
but Col. Stern has made mention Of 1t
in his report to the governor. The af-

that there are other military companies
