IN Congress of this, the sixth DlstrlcI
and Democratic nominee for re-electon'
arrived here this afternoon from Bedloro
CITY. where ne to-day addressed an I'M

He will remain here tonight, and start
for Christiansburg in the morning, where
ne will deliver an address to the voters
of MONTGOMERY county. after which he
will return TO Lynchburg.
VERY CONFIDENT.
When asked as to the prospects Of his
election. he said they were excellent; that
the Republicans would poll a larger vote
I'm this district than at the last con-
eressional election; but silver was so
strong i'm the state and district that he
would get a much larger plurality than
he did two years ago. The candidacy OF
Duval Radford would not. he SAID hurt
him any. as most of those who would
vote for him Bradford would otherwise
have voted the straight Republican ticket
OF stayed at home.
SURE OF BRYAN.
As to the presidential contest, he said
Bryan was sure to be elected. He GER
tainly would get 142 electoral votes in the
South. and 20 west Of the Missouri river,
leaving him to get the remain
ing y votes from the States
Of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Mary
land, and West Virginia, which were
classed as doubtful. but he did not so
l., ha mot
think Republican money would have any
effect in changing the result i'm the South
for even If some Leaders were bought the
people were all for free silver, and they
could not be purchased. He spoke en-
Enthusiastically OF the outlook in this state,
and i'm his district especially. where he
had been assured by many who did not
vote for him at the last election that they
would support him now.

A FEW DELEGATES WALK OUT
Mckinley Wins by an Overwhelming
Majority = Sound Money Platform
Adopted Protection and Reciprocity
Sure Of Victory.

The st. Louis Republican convention
is over and the issue on the Republican
side is made up. The vote on presi-
Dental nominees was as follows: Nc
Kinley 66f15. Reed 841g, Morton %,
Quay 6116, Allison 351@. Idaho's dele
cation reserved its vote for future use.
Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey, was
elected to second place by vote of
53315: The platform contains the usual
Republican declarations for protection
and reciprocity. The financial plank is
a sound money declaration, pledglng
the party to the promotion of interna.
tional bimetallism. A resolution IA
voring Cuban independence is also in
corporated in the platform. Following
is list of the delegates who walked
out of the convention:
The Colorado delegates who walked
out of the convention were: Henry NJ.
Teller, F. G. Cloudy, J. w. Rockefeller,
j. NJ. Downing, A. NJ, Stevenson,
j. T. Vivian, G. J. Hart and G. Ii,
Brickenstein.
From Idaho-F. T. Dubois, W.
Sweet, Lyttleton Price, A. B. Camp
bell, b. E. Rich and Alexander Robert
son.
From Nevada-A. G. Cleveland,
Enoch Strother, J. B. Overten and w,
d. Phillips, leaving G. H. Sproule and
G. F. Turitt in the seats.
From Utah-F. T. Cannon, Clarence
Allen, and Thomas Kearns.
From Montana-Charles l. Hartman
only.
From South Dakota-R. F. Petit
grew.
Senators Mantle and Carter, of Mon
tana, indicated that they had a great
notion to walk out but were restrained
by an adversion to doing anything
which might appear discourteoust to the
convention. Their sublime politness
will probably prevent them from leav-
ing the Republican party for similar
reasons.
More extended notice of the conven-
ton matters will appear next week.

PATHos IN POLITICS.

Account of most melancholy scene
was sent scorching over the wires last
Wednesday. It occurred at a meeting
Of the Republican committee on reso-
lutions. The dispatch says:
"The scene was a most affecting one
The gold men in the committee were
filled with compassion, and there was
not dry eye in the room while Sena-
tor Teller spoke. Senator Dubois, Sen
ator Cannon and Delegate Mott broke
down completely and wept like chill
dren."
That is all very touching and very
dramatic Nothing could be devised
to more forcibly impress the public
mind than a gathering of politicians
immersed in tears. But the mourning
will not be of long duration and in less
than week these same tender polite
ians will cast off their weeds. wipe their
noses and go to abusing each other like
pickpockets. The gold mems compass
sion will give way to contempt for the
silver cranks. and the tears of the sill
yer men will be dried and forgotten in
wholes ale denunciation of the sound
money traitors. 1t would no doubt be
quite proper to be overcome with
gloom in contemplation of this sorrow
full affair, and say something pathetic
about the breaking up of old ties and
the parting of the ways. But most of
us have seen enough of this life to
know that the mixing of politics and
pathos is rarely spontaneous out
break of soulful sentimentality. The
tears which dim the eyes of politicians
are usually brought forth to arouse the
sympathies and blind the vision of the
unsophisticated. In other words, po
litical tears are business propositions
straight investments. The tears shed
at st. Louis have probably been on tap
for the last six months, and the "crying
like children" act, has possibly been
the subject of assiduous private re-.
hearsal. But, perhaps, it is unbecOm-
ing to treat lightly such distinguished
dolor, especially the anguish of Sena-
tor Cannon whose attachment to the
Republican party, according to the evil
dence Of Utah Democrats, grows out
of pious regard for church authority.
1t were better to drop the curtain be-
fore the melancholy tableau resolves
itself into free fight.

PoPULIsM AND CAPITAL.

The life blood of Populism ~ war
on capital. 1t lives and has its being
in an effort to destroy wealth where
ever found. Its arch enemies are the
coupon clippers, the money sharks, the
bankers and interest gatherers. Any
man who has been so unfortunate as
to accumulate little money is an out
law In the eyes of orthodox Populists.
The coupon clipper is fancifully de-
scribed as constantly seated in oush-
toned chair, absently clipping interest
tickets. He is a hook nosed, stony
hearted individual, gloating over the
ruin he is working to humanity. The
money shark comes from some vague
locality in the east and goes about the
country compelling farmers to mort
gage their farms beyond hope of re-
demptiOn, just to give the sheriff a
chance to get in his work. The banker
sits in his back Office, spasmodically
contracting and expanding the circu.
latiRg medium to the disruption and
destruction of trade and commerce the
world over. He brings on panics by
the kirk of a little finger and then
sends wave of prosperity over land
and sea by the simple loosening of a
joint. A few years ago, the farm mort.
gage afforded an endless theme and
POpulists went wild in eloquent denun-
citation of the miserable eastern sharks
who forced money on the farmer and
took in security the farm mortgage.
The facts ofstatistics have considerably
moderated the howl against farm mort
cages. More than half the money ad-
vanCed on farms is loaned by people of
the states In which the loan is made,
less than IL per cent of the loans being
made by outside money sharks. And
worse still, the farmers themselves are
as often lenders as borrowers. Stats
tics prove again that the principal
holders Of bonds, that is the coupon
clippers, are people in moderate cir
cumstance. People who have grown
too Old to continue active business and
widows, orphans and invalids. The
money makers, the business men, do
not tie up their capital in three and
four per cent investments. Capitalists
do not purchase government bonds to
hold. The best bond on the market to-
day Is the per cent coupon, due 1926,
quoted at sIl6a4, making it about 81
per cent investment, The coupon clip
per as a rule Is a very different person
from the horrible creature described by
Populists. But this does not matter.
Populists win continue their indis-

UNDER THE NEW LAW.
Judge Richard Asked to Ak a Rate for Water.

The first suit ever brought in this
county under the act of the last legisla
ture making provision for the fixing of
water rates by the district court was
filed yesterday. 1t is entitled Robert
b. Wilson VS. Joseph Perrault and r..
z. Johson, owners of the Perrault
ditch.
The plaintiff AYERS he has for some
time used water from the Perrault
ditch to irrigate his fruit trees, and
hat he cannot irrigate them except
with this water. The complaint states
that the defendants offered to sell the
plaintiff water for the season of 1896 at
the rate of 81 an acre. The plaintiff
refused to pay this sum, claiming it is
unreasonable, excessive and exorbi-
tant", and asks the court to fix the rate.
