Mr.. BRYAN.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-William. j..
Bryan, in letter published in the Mail
and Express TO day refers as follows to
a recent editorial in that paper regard
ing Mr.. >Bryan's work in the Kansas
railroad disaster: II beg to thank you
for your generous words, but am
afraid your praise outruns the merit of
my work on that occasion. l did no
more than the others who escaped Ut
injured, and mono of US did more than
could have been expected from any
persons under like circumstances. Some
of the wounded were suffering intense.
ly, and no one could have refused any
assistance which could possibly be rendered,
1t is often the lot of public men to be criti.
cised when they do not deserve it, and sup
pose the unmerited commendation which
they sometimes receive is necessary to form
just average. However, I appreciate the
charity which you, as political opponent,
have shown.

ANOTHER FRAUD.-A dispatch from
Lancaster, Pa, says: Rev. Robert b.
Robinson, President of the John Hay
Institute, OF Alexandria, in letter to
Mayor Smeltz, of Lancaster, denounced
and exposes Rev. F. M. Ovelton, who
was recently arrested there, as gi-
gantic fraud. 1t appears that Oyelton
has been representing himself as an
agent of the institute, and collecting
money at West Chester, Christisna,
Coatesville, and Williamsport. At the
latter place Robinson had Ovolton ar
rested and deprived of his papers and
credentials.
SIN his letter to Mayor Smeltz Presi.
dent Robinson SAYS He has slick
tongue, but is bad man. l am sorry
that l ever mixed up with him. All
the money he has collected he has kept
and 1 never received cent of it. He
ought to be in Jail. II he Gays he re.
signed, be tells falsehood. He should
not be in any organization. He joined
our church, but is not a member in
good standing
"Ovelton has not been here for some
months. and has represented himself as
financial secretary of q church synod in
Virginia, and has collected money here
for the John Hay Institute, saying that
it was for the purpose of establishing a
branch here"

A REPUBLICANS VIEW.

To the Editor the Alexandria Gazette:
The question, Shall we have a cou-
vention and gubernatorial candidates,
is agltating the republican party just
now. cay by all means let US have a
convention if that is the only way to
have candidates. l would have pre-.
ferred that our regular State committee
had held convention, but as they alb.
dicated their functions-shirked their
duties-we will have a convention,
even if we have to obey the call of Col.
Lamb. I for one care nothing for
the Colonel. l don't think he is the
wisest leader we could select; his war
fare upon certain members of the re-
publican party was hateful and uncall-
ed for, but as obeying his call seems to
be the only way to bring concert of &C.
ton upon the part of those republicans
who want candidates we heartily en-
brace it. We do not think the way
to win a fight is to disarm our
selves and retreat without an
engagement. Gen. Malone tried it,
and we have our present election laws
as the result. a good, slrong, vigor-
Gus, aggressive fight might have pre-
vented it by minority if we had had
such, but by his policy of inaction we
had scarcely one member of the legisla.
ture to protest. 1t is urged that we
must not put up candidates because
the democratic party will cheat US.
HUo,t tbau ohoot no of1f 0f m m hore IF
the legislature just as we'll if they ex.
pect to carry the election that way ?
We can never get out full vote
without full ticket and good fight.
Now We warn our State committee that
we will have full ticket. We would
like their assistance, but with or with
but it fight will be made and it would
be an exilarating spectacle to see re-
publican committee opposing republi-
can candidates, no matter how nomi-
mated.
It is said the administration is against
US. We do not believe it. And it seems
that an appeal is to be made to our ad-
ministration to help them out. 1t will
fail, as it ought to. Arthur tried it
once, to nelp zen. Manone. L 0on't
think he was entirely satisfied with the
result. At any rate the republican par
ty will march out to give battle and
would like the chairman and State con-.
nittee with them. But if they lag or
delay it will march past and over them
and leave them stranded, with no an
Choir to which cable can be attached to
pull them off from the sands of mac
ton.
Another thing the party is tired of is
bosses. Gen. Malone tried it and ruin
ed his party for ten years. Col. Lamb
tried it year ago and failed. The "big
four' will make still more disastrous
failure. The people will run the party,
and the quicker our small bosses find it
out the better for them and the republic
can party. W. +. GRAVES.

The VIRGINIA REPUBLICANs.-As
stated in the GAZETTE of that date
Messrs. Wsddill, Agnew and Bowden,
the republican organization leaders in
Virginia, spent some time with Presi.
dent Mckinley, yesterday, discussing
Virginia politics. In the course of the
conversation the gentlemen explained
in detail to the President their reasons
for DECLINING toput State ticket in the
field this fall, setting forth the argu.
ment advanced by them in the GAZETTE
Yesterday for combining their efforts to
electing o number of members of the
legislature. Mr.. Mckinley listened
with interest, but carefully refrained
from any comment which would indi.
cate that he would support either the
friends or the opponents of State tick.
ct. The Virginia leaders received yes
terday 8 COPY of 6 circular letter, issued
yesterday by Mr.. 81, p. Mccoy, of
Bristol, chairman of the Congressional
committee, Ninth district, calling on
all republicans in the district to dis.
courage the Lynchburg convention.
This letter is regarded as proving that
Representative Walker is not in sym.
pathy with Colonel Lamb. At the
same time, it is conceded by the organi-
cation leaders that the convention
will probably be we'll attended.

HAzLEroN, Pr, sept. l7.-OVer one

Monarch washery early this morning,
when band of Amazons armed with
sticks and stones swooped down upon
them. Some of their number again
stationed themselves on top of culm
bank, ready to pelt the men with their
weapons, but violence was avoided by
the men promptly going out. AT the
Star washery about 100 or 135 men re-
turned to work, but the women are de.
termined TO drive them out. General
Goblin sent squad of cavalry to the
scene, but when the troops reached
there all attempts of violence had
ceased, but the women followed the
troops about the street hooting and
cursing them. A storekeeper at Auden-
ried declared this morning that his
entire stock of revolvers had been sold
during the past few days. A powder
house at Cranberry was broken into
early this morning by strikers, who
stole quantity of dynamite.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept. 17.-Company
I, of the Ninth Regiment, was sent to
Cranberry, but found everything there
quiet. There was disturbance at

About so strikers became involved in
an argument and general row follow.
ed. Company E, of the Thirteenth
Regiment, which is camped at Latti-
mer, marched over to the place and as
soon as the strikers saw them coming
they scattered.
General Goblin is in qusndary over the
raids made by the infur:sted foreign women.
He says he cannot order his soldiers to tire
upon them, even in the event of graver
trouble, and he is seeking more patient means
of keeping them in subsection. He has re.
ceived word from Governor Hastings to sup
press trouble wherever it breaks ont, regard.

Captain Nelson got one skin that Is
entirely white, the first one ever taken
according to the hunters. The conven-

Skins being here and there dappled

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. IT, 1897.

INHIs address at Washington Lee
University last Wednesday, DR.. Kirk
land Chancellor of Vanderbilt Uni
versity, expressed the belief that with
the inauguration of Mr.. Wilson as
president of that institution, "a new
day dawned for Southern education"
It must be acknowledged that there
has been some deterioration in the col
leges, as we'll as in every thing else In
the South, since the disastrous war be-
tween the States; but few reasonable
and Intelligent people believe that any
new dawn; of Southern education, un-
der existing conditions, will equal the
thoroughness and adsptability to high
and perfect craftsmanship, OF that OF
the earlier and better days OF Virginia,
when William and Mary and the State
University supplied the South with the
men who kept the government WITHIN
its constitutional limits and restricted
taxes to the rates just sufficient to meet
the necessary expenditures ofeconom
zeal administrations. What Southern
education needs now is, not new
dawn, but a return to the modes,
methods, books and teachers OF tne
good old days before the war. MT
Wilson, too, made great mistake
when, on the same occasion, he said; u
may be truly affirmed that the South's
higher institutions of learning are bet,
fer now than they were in 1850"

Azure for Cattle Fever.

DENVER, COL, Sept. 17.-After re-

fever has been found. DIR. V. A. Nor
gard, of this city, is the discoverer. The
plan for dealing with the fever is pri-
marily to exterminate the insect known
as the stick" which abounds on fever
stricken cattle, and through the means
of which the disease is communicated.
To do this the cattle are forced to swim
through solution in vat. What the
solution is, it is not known at the pre-
sent time, but crude petroleum is used.

ACCORDING TO the republicans and

bullion has been sadly injurious to all
the interests of Mexico. The President
of that country, however, in message
to the Congress thereof yesterday, said
"The recent decline in silver only
encourages national expectation and
manufactures, while the temporary ma
ture of this decline, according to tie
reports received by the executive, per
mits the indulgence of the hope thar
the situation will soon clear up. ana IN
any event the national treasury is prop
erly prepared to meet it,"

"know it ALL" and, therefore, what

country he's no effect upon their mouths
