BRYAN at His Anrrstral Home.

CuLPErPER, Va, June l9.-It was
a case of hide. autl.seek with the ele-
ments to day, but this did not pre-
vent 1.500 people Drawing the ele
menJs and coming out 10 hear Hop.
W. j. Bryan. The orator WAS late in
arriving. but when he stepped upon
the bedecked platform mighty roar
of welcome went out. The Bealeton
Band, which was in attendance,
played an air. y telegram OF regret
from Hon. John w. Daniel was read.
Hon. Ct. d. Gray then proceeded to
Introduce the orator. His remarks
were felicitous, and when he claimed
W. j. Bryan as Il son of Culpepper
and pledged her undying loyalty TO
her own, the gathering echoed the
sentiment with a will.
When Mr.. Bryan arose 10 speak his
welcome was most generous. He
spoke feelingly of this, the home OF
his ancestors, and OF the lavish enter
tainment OF his friends and relatives.
He Landed Thomas jefferson, and
quoting his doctrine, plunged direct
ly into the discussion Of the money
question and scored the gold-buS
democrats.
After speaking short whilo it be-
gan to rain and some Of the ladies
left. MI Bryan wanted TO stop, but
the crowd would not let him. I'm
brellas were raised, and Mr.. Bryan
proceeded. 1t ceased to rain in few
minutes, and as he continued his re-
marks were very frequently ap
plauded, and his numerous jokes
never failed to meet the point. He
spoke for over two hours. He avoided
any utterance about the Virginia
campaign.

AccoMAc COURT HOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, JUNE &c, 1897.
Entered at the PostotIice at Accomae
@. H. Va, as second-class matter.

The question, whether or not, a
declaration in favor of free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to should
be embodied in the platform to be
made by the democratic party when
it assemblies in convention at Roa.
noke, is being agitated in some sec
tions of the State by those who be.
lieve that an effort should be made
to conciliate those opposing it in the
State. The rank and file of the
democrats of the State have already
answered the question in the atlirma-
tive, but if there are any democrats
who favor free silver, who have not
been convinced as to their duty in
the matter, the opinion of Mr..
Bryan may furnish them the light
they need on the question. In re
spouse to the query whether silver
should be made an issue in the Viz
Sinia campaign he said recently: Il
do not care TO discuss local questions,
nor shall l assume to advise the
democrats of each State in regard to
platform utterances. Speaking gen
orally, however, may say that
the declaration in favor of free
coinage is Il part of the dem
ocratic faith, and democratic
principles are always a part of the
campaign when the democratic party
has nominated ticket.
