the Democratic nomination for governor
This is Mr.. James Robert Southall, of
Gainesville, Prince William county, who

here working up a boom for himself. He
wants to be governor and he does not
hesitate to say So And he further de
ciares that the PEOPLE want him. Mr..
Soul came here to attend the session of

he has made several speeches in his sec
ton of the State and will go from here to
Culpeper and Orange Mr.. Southall, who
was gallant Confederate and is great
sportsman, proposes quite a liberal plat

Three Sentiments.

Count Enzenberg, formerly Hessian EN-
voy ut Paris, to write something i'll his

Two rules of prudence. The first is to
forgive much; the second is never to
forget. Under this Theirs had said,
"a little forgetting would not detract
from the sincerity of the forgiveness. {"
Prince Bismarck added, .'As for me, l.
have learned to forget much and to ask
to be forgiven much. True Flag.

Mt an carly hour. He had been blowing
but short time before IL number of men
camo up from behind u clump of trees at
one end of the field, and then cnmo loud
report, ms if u dozen guns had been fired at
once. Morley fell to the ground, his body
riddlcd by the rifle balls and buckshot. He
was dead before no struck tho ground.
Tho clew to the murdcrers of Worlcy
was slim, but it WAS but few days before
ten of his neighbors were arrested for tho
crime, among them being some of the most
prominent mon of Murray county. Harris
Bramlett was ono of the prisoners. Bum-
lett turned stato's evidence, and his com
panloDs are now serving sentences ot ten
ycars each, and tho case against him WINS
not pressed.
About the time of Bramlctt' $ capture by
Bates, old "Rcd Rob- Baker, who has
been the leading moonshine distillcr of
eastern kentucky for 80 years, was taken
into camp by Revenue Agcnt.T W. Colycr.
When taken, Bakers clothes were spat-
tered with beer and mash, and tho evil
dence against him is SO strong that he
will not be ablo to thwart justice this
time. He has been arrested six times he
fore, charged with moonshining, but the
government has been unable to prove him
guilty. He is about 60 years old, and his
wife, who is known as Coon Baker, is five
years his senior. They both have remark
able records as moonshiners. They were
arrested several years ago and placed un
der guard, but the wife escaped and re-
manned in hiding III the mountains for
five months. Sho it was who disposed of
the whisky after Red Bob had made it.
and she managed that end of the business
so well that none of her family has ever
been convicted. Their sons, Henry and
Abner, have been arrested several times
for moonshining and selling moonshine
whisky, but each time the government
failed to mako case.

Mr.. Ellyson, candidate for governor of
Virginia, comes in at the eleventh hour
to tell us he is an ardent advocate of the
free coinage OF silver ut 16 to l. Twelve
months ago when Grover Cleveland stood
at the head OF his party and was sup
posed to have sufficient influence to die
tate the policy of his party and make it
declare for the single gold standard, Mr..
Ellyson was as ardent an advocate of the
single gold standard. Grover Cleveland
being now politically dead and petered
out and Mr.. Ellyson being still alive and
hungry, and observing that his COMPETE
tor for the nomination is daily gaining
strength by reason of his silver views,
drops the curtain between the present
and the past and swears by the beard of
the prophet that he is as rank silver
crank MS ever came ont of the woods
Such is the stuff Nirgnians are asked to
make governor OF. The man who will
sink his convictions, smother his con
science bury his sense of honor and turn
traitor to his own heart in order to graf.

of Virginia want for governor, and they
will not have him.

United States Deputy Marshal Bob
Bates of Atlanta is wagipg an uotive war
fnrc against the moonshiners who infest
the mountains Of Georgia and is piling up

them and fought tho officers from ambush
until they gained tho railroad station.
No man ever charged with moonshining
is botter known than Bramlett, who has

tragedies over enacted on tho red, rugged
hills of north Georgia. He has given the
revenue men moro trouble than dozen
other men put together, and has mntlo

Tho murder of Morley is well roincmbcr-

was killed for being an informer on Ger

banded together and had sworn death to
any man who informed on any of their
number for making whisky, which was an
avocation followed by tho majority OF the
gang. The gang learned that Henry Wor-
ley had told the revenue men OF certain of
their number who wcro running Illicit
stills. They voted to kill the informcr, and
plans were formulated to murder him.
On q certain night In 1895 tho White
Cappers went to Worley's house and drag

with Turkey the Greeks are now blaming
him for their failure to whip the Turks.
1t seems very cowardly way for the peo-
pie to act; but one month of war has
shown to the world that the modern

that go to make great people. In cour-
age and endurance the Turks are far

The Democratic Senator'S have decided
to oppose the internal revenue features of
the tariff bill SO far as they relate to the
increase of the tax on beer and tobacco.
This is shrewd move and will do much
towards winning the German vote. which
is an important element in the politics of
the West and Northwest. The tariff hill
seems to have rough road before it in

While the Democratic state.central com

mond n representative of the Dispatch,
of that city, interviewed all the members
and large number of citizens from all
parts of Virginia and found that at least
80 per cent. of those with whom he con-
yersed were in favor of endorsing the Chi
cago platform and opposed to the hold
ing OF constitutional convention. In
regard to the latter it was almost uni
versally conceded that the movement look :

clined to agree with Editor Henri Waiter
sou, of the Courier Journal, in his belief
that eN President Cleveland is figuring for
II third term. Mr.. Watterson's reasons
for the faith that is in him are excellent,
and there are many others in the country
who incline to his opinions. Mr.. Cleve-
land is lucky man, politically; but the
conditions that would make him an avail
able candidate for President third time
cannot be conceived at this stage of the
political game. 1t wou' require n rev.
olution Of the most startling nature to
bring him acceptably before the Amerl-

the most popular man in the nation, the
