b tier Than a Bull Fight.

The "Two Republics" of the City
of Mexico, in speaking of our popular
American game of football says: GA
bull fight is not to be compared with
this game. The football fl Id has come
to resemble the field of battle. Almost
every scrimmage leaves in its wake
some PROSTATE form. An attending
physician is a neces sity. In a bull
fight only the horses are hurt.
while the bull doubtless regards the
occasion as an event specially arranged
for his amusement until his time comes
to die. BY all means the seeker after
excitement should eschew bull fights
and Try football"

How Can We Turn Our BACK Upon
EIlysOn.
(Communicated.)


Ivor. Va, June II. 1897
I notice that different sections are adj
vocating different candidates TO be put
before the convention when IL meets in
Roanoke; but when l say that Ellyson
is the man for Governor l believe
voice the sentiments of my county.
/ do not dabble much in politics. nor
do | busy myself extensively about them,
as my knowledge in politics is quite
limited. However, | know that when we
put such a man as j. T. Ellyson at the
head of our State ticket. it means that
we have at the helm OF our party one
of the best men in Old Virginia, and
above ALL we know that 1t means sue
cess for Democracy next November.
Give us Ellyson, and we can beat
down the enemy. and brave the battle
with full confidence of success. When I
say that Ellyson is the right man, and
will be in the right place when he Is
Chief Executive of this old State, | be-
lieve that l not only voice the senti-
ments of the people in my own county
but voice the sentiments of the majority
of the voters in Virginia.
How can we turn our backs upon Mr.
Ellyson. when he has led to victory
every battle in which he was closely
engaged? How can we so soon forget
the great success of our party, which
was led by him last fall. when he not
only had the thousands of dollars against
our party but very great majority Of
the public press? Now let us all unite
i'm one solid and harmonious shout, "Hur-
rah for j. Taylor Ellyson for Governor."
