DICKINSON ALL RIGHT.
A Big Democratic Day mt Clintwood.
Cheers for Bryan.

CLINTWOOD. VA. October 16.-(Spe-
cial) -Pursuant to appointment. d. S.
Pollock put in his appearance here to ad-
dress the people OF Dickinson county on
the issues of the campaign. Despite the
rain. which fell nearly all day, there was
a large crowd OH hand. Colonel J. Il.
Richmond, of Scott county, was on hand,
too, for a speech. he representing the
Boilers. 1t was minated to the Demo
cratic chairman that the Republicans de-
sired to have Mr.. Pollock divide time with
Colonel Richmond and enter into joint
discussion with him. The chairman then
consulted Mr. Pollock who agreed TO a
fair and equal division OF time, II the
Colonel would avow his support Of the
Republican candidates; but said that he
would not under the peculiar circum-
stances. recognize him in any other ca
pacity. SO the Democratic chairman
wrote 10 the chairman OF the Republican
party, stating these terms. and the latter,
after consulting the Colonel, replied, re-
fusing the terms.
FORCIBLE AND LOGICAL.
Attorney w. H. Werth. OF Coeburn. in
troduced Mr. Pollock who made a clear,
forcible. and logical speech. mainly upon
the financial issues. He entertained the
audience for more than two hours. He IS
thoroughly posted, and his arguments
strongly appeal 10 the understanding
Some time before the close OF Mr.. Pol
locks speech Colonel Richmond entered
the courtroom, carrying a bundle, pre-
sumably notes and data for n speech. and
took a seat near the speakers stand. He
did not present that vigorous. buoyant
self-reHant look which we have often
seen him present here as a Democratic
speaker in years gone by, but looked
somewhat careworn and restless.
CHEERS FOR BRYAN.
When Mr.. Pollock concluded his speech
the Republicans called loudly for Rich
mond who arose and stepped upon the
stand: but no sooner had he reached II
than tremendous hurrahs for Bryan went
up from many threats. hats were waved,
and cries of "Down" come down. were
heard from every side. 1t was
fully fifteen minutes before order
could be restored. When Colonel
Richmond began to speak such epithets as
traitor. "Bolter." ''eold-bug." came
from all parts of the audience. and most
of the Democrats left the house. Most
of the speech consisted Of abuse Of the
Democrats. Colonel Richmond spoke OF
"the bloody-eyed Tillman. OF South Caro-
lima" and "old Daniel, of Virginia" and
used various other similar expressions.
All this was loudly applauded by the Re-
publicans. Now, II he is not for the Re-
publicans they are the worst fooled set
OF people that ever swallowed tafly.
Dickinson county is safely in the Bryan
and Williams column, and don't you for
get it.

THE FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.

Among the other wonderful discoveries
OF the century is hat of the gold-standard
people that the value of silver dollar is
TO be regulated by the cost of the bullion
in IT, We find from Secretary Carlisles
circular. No. 123, that during tho coinage
under the Bland-Allison act of 1878 there
was no year up to the repeal Of the bill
in which the 81 IA grains Of silver in the
dollar coined were worth 100 cents. in some
years being as low as u and 70 cents AS
many of those dollars are in the hands OF
the people, and as they are and always
have been worth 100 cents, the question IS,
is that a 72-cent dollar and if so, how
comes it that it buys full dollars
worth?

Sir,-My attention has been called to a

Suppose Governor O'Ferrall should re-

My position was defined in commune

COERCION.

The ST. Louis incident, in which mil
lionaire dry-goods merchant, Crawford by
name, discharged a dozen clerks because
they intended to vote for Bryan. has
shown that liberty in voting Is very
sensitive nerve in the structure Of the
American people, and cannot be touched
with impunity, and that the sympathy OF
the public is instantly aroused for the
man coerced. A meeting to denounce the
act was held. and we see that. later,
Crawford has been arrested for his act.
The penalty under the Missouri law is i'm
prisonment In the State prison.
There is a penalty for coercion also in
Virginia, and that the crime is being
practiced in this State Is as certain as
anything not yet proved can be. If the
local authorities of the Democratic party
in the counties will keep a lookout for 1t,
we DO not doubt they will find cases TO
make an example of by applying the law
to the perpetrators. The Republicans and
the members Of the Palmer Republican
Aid Society are making a great show of
providing against fraud at the ballot
boxes, while the indications are that their
party will cheat twenty men out OF their
votes by coercion TO one man who loses
his vote by fraud at the polls. The Demo
Gratis should pay close attention to this
form Of cheating both novel and preva-
lent in the state, for every party should
look after and protect the helpless in its
ranks

Century,
When lo.e. our great immortal,
Put o. mortality,
And down from Eden's portal
Brought this sweet world to be,

He laughed with yelled eyes,
For he bore within his bosom
The seed of Paradise
He hid IL IN his bosom
And there such waTmtn II found,
Ii brake I'm bud and blossom.
And the rose fell on the around;
As the green light on the prairie
As the red light on the sea,
Through the fragrant belts OF summer
Came this sweet world to be-
And the grave archanpel. seeing
Spread his mighty vans for fight,
But a glow hung round him fleeing
Like the rose of an Arctic night;
And sadly moving hCaVenward

We wish to call the attention of our
Richmond Times, TO the offence that some
of it's followers were guilty of Thursday
night in firing a building near the Audi

breaking up the Democratic meeting then

miscreants the same degree of eloquent
invective that 1t ievelled at the youths

doing service the general public would

night before last in a different direction
there might have been a widespread con
Migration aud loss of property apon the
Exposition Grounds. Indeed, there might
have been loss of life also, for as it was.
a panic among the crowd in the Audi
forum was narrowly averted.
with these facts as a basis, the Times
may easily warm up its Indignation and
preach a sermon upon order and decency,
which we doubt not would be effective
for good with the "sound-money'' hood

spectacular display in the shape of an IL
