October lS rites tina. the Spanish SOL
diers, since tho new ministry has come to
power, are committing many deeds of
cruelty. AS an instai ce he .ites case

several families who had fled from the

his family was attacked by spnali body

are tired of the war and would like to see
peace. but at the same time they are loyal

BUTTERWORTH TO RESIGN.
The Commissioner Of Patents TO be
Disciplined for Kicking.

Washington, Oct. 29.-I5slooks as If
the wrath of the administration had fall
len upon Major Ben Butterworth, of
Ohio, commissioner of patents. 1t was
rumored about town last night that Ma
ior Butterworth would sc on resign and
resume the practice of law. 1t is under
stood also that it has been intimated to
him from those in high places that his
resignation would be accepted. All OF
which, If true. is traced back 10 the Ohio
elections.
Major Butterworth has been guilty of
the unpardonable ssin of saying few
words derogatory to the men who are
seeking to send Mark Hanna back TO the
United States Senate. The Hamilton
county gang, which is the city OF Cincn
Mathis one of the most disreputnbleg gangs
of cut-throat politicians on earth The
rule of Cincinnati under the regime of
this crowd has been VIGOROUSLY corrupt
About the middle of October Mr.. But
tf-rworth was invited by Mayor Taffel to
witness the annual parade of the police

day was coming when honest men would

made the Queen City notorious would be

The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-10-30

Richmond, Va, Oct. 29.-With the
election but ionr days of, there is less
interest In the canvass in Virginia Than
has been manifested III any guberpato-
rial campaign in recent years From all
sections q. the State come reports of
apathy and lack OF life. Only in some
zen or twelve districts, where there ara
hvely lights for members Of the general
assembly, are the people aroused to any
extent whatever. The Democratic man
ayers are bending every energy 10 awake
enthusiasm and brirg out as full vote
as possible. They have great army of
speakers on the stump, and the nomi-
nees. Tyler, Echols and Montague, Sena-
tors Daniel and Martin and most of the
Congressmen are speaking every day.
Ih's Will be continued up to election
day, and more appointments will proba-
bly, be TILED next Monday than on any
day during the campaign
Col. Wickham, who was made chair
man OF the Lamb wing of the Republican
party by the convention recently held Mt
Lynchourg, has been speaking very lit
tie, but said last night that the reports
coming to him from various sections of
the State bring great encouragement and
lead Elm to nelieve that the Republicans
Will make some gains in the legislature.
Anti-Democratic nominations have
heen made in sixty. of the one hun
dred counties. and in many districts the
Populists and both factions of the Re
publicans are united in support of these
candidates. Of course, in many districts
the opposition amounts to very little, as
the Democratic majorities are too large
to be overcome.
The Agnew organization is fighting to
elect members of the legislature, but is
using every influence TO keep down the
vote for the McCaull ticket. State Sem
ator Flanagan, CT Powhatau, saws in his
section the Ticket will be ignor, d almost
entirely. Judge Waddill still thinks the
nomination of the ticket was a great
blunder. and says that but for this the
opposition would have elected enough
men to the legislature to insure the pas
sage OF new and fair election law.
The Popul'sts have made practically
no fight, except for the few men they have
mp for the general assembly. Can't. Cooke
is running for lieutenant govrnor. but he
has made no canvass OF the State. and the
only effect of his candidacy will be to cut
down the vote for Echols. though this
Will nor make it possible for Col. Roller
to be elected

New York, Oct. 29-Duu's Review of
Trade tomorrow will say:
Both wholesale AID retail trade has
been retarded by the long continued mild
weather and the fever in the Sor thern
districts, yet business in many branches
has exceeded all expectations and is lar

The money market remains free from
embarrassment. The loans TO Europe
for the week aggregated about $1,000
GOO. Commercial loans have also much
increased.
The price of cotton mas declined
rapidly aud is now within half II cent Of
the lowest point in fifty years, which is
due partly to the large quantity yet TO

ever heard by IA Roanoke audience, and
demonstrated that ne had given the mat
ter careful study.
In conclusion he advised all Democrats
to stand together and support the nomi

AT the conclusion of Judge Rhea's
speech there were loud cries for Glasgow.

speech he devoted it all to the local inter
