Now THAT the courts as we'll as all
the government departments in Wash

in other parts of the country have de-
termined that the civil service law has
no rights that any body should respect,
there is no good reason why the repub'
licans and boilers who strained their
heart-strings in the effort to elect Mr.

mands are not granted speedily, they

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. "a 1897.
In HIS speech in Richmond last night
Major Tyler, the democratic candidate

In HIS speech in Richmond last nignt
Major Tyler, the democratic candidate
for Governor, said:
"If YOU want to know whether the
times have improved or not, ask the
thousands of poor men who have lost
their positions or had their pay reduced
in the last three months, who stand
with idle, yet willing hands, begging
for WORK. Ask those men if times are
better, with breadstuff higher and
wages lower. Ask the thousands who
have been out of employment and who
have been living in penury In the
midst of plenty, if times are better. The
pinched faces and haggard looks Of
mothers and little ones force them to
answer no. Ask the man whose prop
erty is going at forced sales for one
9th it's value, if times are getting bet
ter. Ask the man who wanted to se
cure loan on abundant real estate se.
curity if times are getting better, ana
the answer will be no."
Every man with sense enough to be
interested in his own welfare, and that
of his family and friends, desires the re-
turn of prosperity, but it is just as true
that no such man can, for the life OF
him, see the wisdom of prating about
its alleged return, when there is no real
sign even of its approach. Major Ty-
ler's personal experience in the matter
referred to is that of ninety. nine out OF
every hundred other intelligent and
unprejudiced men in Virginia. But 1t
cannot be forgotten that Gov. OFFER
rail-, whose seat the Major will soon
fill, saw the dawn of advancing pros
perity only one month after the defeat
of the democratic, and the election o.
the republican ticket, last fall.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex.
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternative is felt. a prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in

STATE POLITICS.

Inc demOcratlc campaign III fIrBlhIa
was formally opened in Richmond last
night. Major J. Hoge Tyler and
Messrs. Edward E. Echols and A. j..
Montague, the three nominees on the
State ticket, were all present and
made addresses. The meeting was
held in the Auditorium building, which
is nearly mile out of the corporate
limits. On account of this distance
and the unfavorsble conditions of the
weather the audience was not as large
as it was expected to be. There were
number of visiting democrats of
prominence, including Speaker Ryan,
of the House of Delegates. A good
many well.known gold democrats were
in attendance. The meeting was held
under the auspices of the Powhatan
Club and was called to order by Presi-
dent Jefferson Wallace, who made q
ten minutes address, which aroused
considerable enthusiasm, especially his
reference to Hon. VIM, J. Bryan.
State Chairman ]. Taylor Ellyson was
presented to preside. Major Tyler's
rival for the nomination was given q
rousing reception. He paid besuti-
full tribute to the character of the dem
ocratic nominee for Governor in intro
ducing him to the audience. Major
Tyler's speech was full of anecdote. He
eulogized the Wilson tariff bill, scored
the Dingley bill and exposed republi-
can extravaganza. He oontrasted the
republican with the democratic ad.
ministration of public affairs, to the
disadvantage of the former 10 the mat
ter of economy, and asserted that the
democratic party is the party of the
people, and low taxes and plenty
Of circulating money. He referred
briefly to the evil of trusts and com
bines and to the necessity for econo-
my in the administration of state az
fairs, and closed with a prediction OF
victory for the democratic party, State
and national. Mr.. Echols dealt
with the past record OF the democratic
party principally, and Mr.. Montague
discussed the financial and tariff ques-
tons.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
is to be Invited to address at an early
day democratic club meeting In Rich
mond. The Old Dominion, one OF the
well known organizations there, is ar
ranging for big meeting some evening

The republicans of Roanoke held q
meeting last night to elect seventeen
delegates to the Lynchburg convention
on October 5, which was called by Col.
Lamb, the deposed State chairman, to
nominate State ticket. Col. ]. Hamp-
ton Hoge opposed the election OF dele
gates and carried . majority OF the
meeting with him when it came to
vote and the meeting adjourned. The
opposition who favored the election OF
delegates convened Immediately and
elected seventeen delegates and alter.
mates and instructed them to vote for
G. n. Penn, of that city, for Attorney
General.
The political adherents of State
Chairman Lamb, of the republican par
ty, are standing by him In tidewater
Virginia in his effort to place State
ticket in the field this fall. Portsmouth
on Wednesday night followed Norfolk's
lead and nominated a full set of dele
gates to the JIynchburg convention:
Most of the counties in that district will

"WHILE it is the right of all trades,
no matter what they may be, to organ
ize to accomplish something the indi-
yidual cannot accomplish, they have
no right to prevent others from
earning their living because they are
not members of their organization"
So spoke the president of the Master
Builders Association in Detroit day OF
two ago. And what he said was the
naked truth. Among the most indis
putable natural rights of men, is that to
earn their bread by the sweat of theil
faces, and those who would deny them
that right are their worse enemies
though they may pretend to be theil
friends.

son of their failure to nominate State

practiced by the democrats upon the

apparent by the latter's sudden change
