A Vote. 81 Inner.

Major ]. Roge Tyler, the demo
cratic nominee for Governor of vir
sinia, may not be endowed with the
stately eloquence of Senator Daniel,
or the argumentative powers OF some
others of the democratic campaign
ers, but he is said to be handshaker
from away back, which takes i'm
mensely III the rural districts, whilst
in anecdote and humor he is making
a decided hit. In recent speech in
Richmond he is quoted as saying:
This is the driest ticket that the
people of Virginia were ever asked to
vote for. Jack Montague never
drinks anything but Dan river mud.
Ed. Echols doesn't know the differ
ence between wine and pokeberry
juice. AS for myself, l never drink
anything stronger than unspiked
buttermilk. In Alexandria, Satur
day evening, in a speech which seems
to have delighted his audience, Ma
jor Tyler declared that he had not
been allie to discover any solid proof
of the good times promised during
the presidential campaign. He Ger
tainly took gloomy view of the
situation in Virginia, for he asserted
that much of the land was so poor
that 1--WE will have to fertilize our
graves in order to insure a resurrec-
ton" Major Tyler further said that
the ticket of which he was the head
was entitled to support because it
was made up of black headed man,
red headed man and bald headed
man, variety enough to suit every
body.n The news of Major Tyler's
humor has spread throughout the
State, and he is overwhelmed with
invitations to speak.-Baltimore Sun.

The democrats of Maryland are

The democrats of Maryland are
making strong fight and the out
look seems favorable to their success
at the polls in November. There
ought to be no doubt in the matter.
She is out of place anywhere else ex-
cept in the democratic column and
has suffered enough from republican
misrule to want to be rid of it. The
most of the democrats of that State
led astray by newspapers, democratic
only in name, are not likely to be
fooled by them again and their re-
turn to the democratic ranks means,
it is believed, the success of the dem
ocratic ticket again this fall.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1897-10-23

Senator German, in letter to the
publisher of the Baltimore Sun, offers
to relinquish the leadership of the
party in Maryland, if he will accept
and support the ticket,and to give up
his ambition to succeed himself in
the United State Senate, if it can be
shown, that such step was necessary
to democratic success. The Sun has
rejected the proposition of the patri-
otto Senator and has since been in
dulging in labored excuses to justify
its course in the past and present.
The Sun continues to shine, but the
warmth of its rays is being shed
mainly in the interest of republican
ism. The democrat is very blind, it
seems to us, who is willing to accept
its teachings as democratic at this
time.

Major J. Hoge Tyler ought to have
an enthusiastic reception at the
hands of our people at the Court
House on next Monday. He is an
attractive and eloquent speaker. rep
resents the cause dear to the hearts
of most of our people, and being Il
farmer ought to be in closer touch
with more of us than anyone who has
ever been candidate for the first
office in the State. The fact that his
election is assured does not relieve
us from our obligation to be present
to do him honor and to give him our
votes in November. He is a man
whom men of all parties and of every
vocation in life should love TO honor
and his visit to us at this time, when
his presence is not needed, is COM
pliment to US worthy of our appre-
citation and which we should show by
our presence. Let US give him a
rousing reception.

A special to the Norfolk virginian,
from Richmond. says: 1.-The demo-
cratic managers here are now gather
ing information with reference to the
opposition to their nominees for the
Legislature. They have not com
pleted the work, but upon a partial
investigation estimate that not over
one third of the democratic nominees
are opposed. The strangest of the
matter is, that no one is running
against democratic candidates in
several districts that gave republi-
can majorities last fall. 1t looks as
if the anti democratic representation
in the General Assembly would be
smaller than it was two years ago.

The Grand Camp of Confederate
Veterans met in Richmond, last We'd
nesday. The Board of Education of
Virginia will make contracts for the
histories to be used in the public
schools of the State for the next four
years, next March, and the principal
object of the meeting is to eliminate
the political apologies and impeach-
ments which now hold place on the
list of books available for use in the
public schools and the substitution
therefor of O history which shall give
a clear, complete and candid account
of the leading facts and most event
full periods of American history"

II can't see how any family lives
without Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrh9a Remedy" says j.
R. Adams, well known druggist,
of Geneva, Ala in a letter inquiring
the price of dozen bottles, that he
might not only have it for use in his
own family, but supply it to his
ueighbors. The reason some people
get along without it is because they
do not know its value, and what u
vast amount of suffering it will save.
Wherever it becomes known and
used it is recognized as necessity,
fol it is the only remedy that can
always be depended upon for bowel
complaints, both for children and
adults. For sale by all druggists.
