Mark Hanna is evidently uneasy

Mark Hanna is evidently uneasy
over the situation in Ohio, or be
would not be soliciting money from
postmssters to save the republicans in
that State. Neither party is fully
united in Ohio, and it is difficult to
forecast which of them is to suffer
most from dissffection. Col. Bryan
is spending several days in that State,
and Carter Harrison, mayor of Chi
cage, is also active on the stump for
McLane. In Kentucky, where the
regular and independent democratic
candidates for Governor are confront
ed by a united republican party, the
situation is said to be doubtful. If,
however, the independents do not
poll over 10000 votes, it is believed
Goebel, regular, will be elected. In
Maryland the democrats feel very
sanguine of carrying that State.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1899-10-25

cannot be claimed that it was riding
roughshod over public sentiment by
sticking to the primary convention
system.
Men, when they want a change in
a system, will not get it unless they
stand up and ask for it. This change
was easily within their grasp inside
of the party, had they reached ont
and secured it. Having failed to do
this, if party organization is desirable
and worth anything to them they will
not 90 outside of it now and seek to
secure it by voting for Mr.. Warthen's
opponent. Except in the choice offs
L. S. Senator. we do not know that
there is any difference of views on
public questions between the regular
candidate and his opponent.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1899-10-25

From the utterances of some lead
ing democrats it is probable that the
deliverance of the next national dem
Ocratic convention on the subject Of
making war upon the Filipinos,
should that ''unpleasantness" not be
closed when it assemblies, will not
meet with the endorsement of all
members of our party. Col. Bryan
talks as if the war ought to cease, al.
though he has before said, we believe,
1t would not do to withdraw our
troops from the islands. Ex-G Gov.
Hogg. of Texas, is reported to have
said that it is 1.-The duty of the Unit
ed states to shoot hell out of the Fill
ipinos and bring the war to a close"
Senrtor McIaurin and a number Of
other democrats believe the United
States should assert its power over
them rather than withdraw under
present conditions. If the democrats
had meyer cOunseled and voted for
taking Cuba from Spain we would
not toe confronted with the Philip
pine question, and would be in bet
ter condition to rail at republicans
for the present war expenditures. If
democrats should happen to differ on
this point, it is believed the matter
will not be carried to the foolish
point of reading men out of the par
ts for differing with the platform

Fighting in the Transvaal.

The latest important news from
the seat of war in South Africa is
that the Beers main northern COL
umn, under General Jou bert, COM
mander-in-chief, has attacked Glen
coe, the advanced British post in Ma
tai
Glencoe was the scene of last Fri
days battle, in which the British
drove Oft a section of the Boer army.
The latest news indicates that Gener-
al Joubert has hurled a heavy mass
OF his troops against the same strong
hold, hoping to retrieve the disaster.
Gen. Sir George Stewart White,
British commander in Natal, sent a
dispatch to the London War Office
Sunday announcing that in a battle
Saturday afternoon at Elandslaagte,
between Glencoe and Ladysmith, Gen.
Jan ii. Nj. kock, second in command
of the Transvasl Army, was killed.
The British attacked the Beers at
Elandslaste and defeated them Sc
verely, losing about $50 men killed
and wounded. The Boer loss is I'm.
known.
by their victory at Elandslaagte
the British will be able to reopen the
railway line from Ladysmith to Glen
coe. Elandslaagte is a station about
midway between these two places. IL
had been seized by the Beers with a
view of cutting the railroad line, but
their defeat illustrates the move for
the present.
Anxiety has been felt for several
Hussar squadrons which were sent to
pursue the Beers on Friday. All of
these, except one. have now returned.
and the whereabouts of that one are
known.
According to an unconfirmed re-
port, Gen. Sir William Penn Svmonds.
who was wounded at Glencoe, has
died of his wound.
Details of the Boer repulse at
Mafeking, Bechuanaland, October IA,
show that great bravery was display
ed on both sides.
Major Scott, of the British army.
heartbroken at his inability to defend
Nryburg, Bechuanalaud, has shot
himself.
Speaking of the battle at Eland-
slaagte a dispatch says: Then, at 6:15
p. M, the DevOnshire Regiment, half
the Gordon Highlanders, half the
Manchester Regiment and the Impe-
rial Light Horse advanced on the 20
sitiOn and stormed the Boer front. 4
6ayonet charge was sounded as the
roar of artillery ON both sides sud
denly ceased, and the British, with
the Devonshires leading, made "A SUI
perb dash against the main body of
the Beers, undaunted though facing
a fearful fire.
Twice were they checked by the
terrible fusillade. Once the advance
quivered for Il moment. but then,
with ringing, roaring cheers. the
whole Of the force hurled itself for
ward like an avalanche and swept
over the hills, hayoueting the broken
Boer army in all directions.
The Beers were overwhelmed and
astounded. They paused, then re
treated, then raised the white flag
and surrendered. Two or three hun
dred broke and ran, pursued by the
Fifth Lancers, who charged through
and through them.

Broomhall, of Liverpool, regarded
as an authority, estimates the worlds
wheat crop for this year at 1896
100000 bushels, against 2,SS6, OOO,-
600 bushels last year. According to
this estimate the worlds crop this
year is 39O,OOO,OOO bushels under
that of last year. He, however, est
mates the worlds visible and invisi-
BILE reserves at 24O,OOO,OOO bushels,
so that there is no likelihood of wheat
growing scarce before another har-
vest arrives.

GALA WEEK IN RICHMOND The
week of October 3lst will be gala
week in Richmond, the occasion be-
ing the launching of the United
States torpedo boat Shubrick on the
3lst inst. Great preparations are be
ing made by the citizens of the CAPT
tai of the Old Dominion TO celebrate
the event.
Admirals Dewey and Schley and
President Mckinley will be present,
and the launching will be preceded
by trades parade, partaking of the
nature of the Mardi Gras and will be
followed by grand display of fire
works and tournament and races.
The fireworks will be gorgeous in the
extreme, in fact the most magnificent
ever seen in a Southern city, and will
cost over $1,7OO.
The railroads offer one fare for the
round trip, including an admission
coupon to the races and tournament.
A large crowd will undoubtedly in
wade Richmond that week.
The grand ball to be given in con-
junction with the other attractive fea
lures of the Carnival, will be the
grandest of the kind ever given in
Virginia, with guests of National,
State and local fame.
The ball will be given in the big
Auditorium building, with the ia
nous band from the Soldiers Home
at Hampton to furnish the music.
This ball will be given on the night
of November 1st, the second night of
the Carnival.

Party Duty.

We will issue the COURIER but
once more after this week before the
day of election occurs, and we would
like those democrats who claim to
have grievances against the manner
In which the convention that nomi-
mated Mr.. Warthen was managed to
pause and consider what is to be &C.
complished by failing to give that
gentleman their support. So far as
we are concerned we would have
greatly preferred that the executive
committees of both counties should
have given the people of each county
the opportunity to express their SEN
timents on the senatorial question,
but the committee of Clarke did not
do this, although it was done in
Warren through delegates chosen
and because of it's failure to meet the
wishes of the voters on this line by
adhering to primary conventions, we
are not disposed to lend encourage
ment to movement outside of regu-
larity.
We do not wish to be understood
as contending that man must fol-
low his party blindly-no, we do not
agree with such teaching, but I'M
til some radical action is taken, or
change is made in deliverances, in
which mans conscience is stirred,
democrats ought to hesitate before
abandoning their party nominees.
Senatorial reform is not a matter of
principle, but movement to change
the method of electing senator's, or of
nominating them until such method
can be perfected according to law.
Many of the county committees in
Virginia ignored the evident senti-
ment in favor of senatorial reform.
but what is the remedy Change
your agents-executive committees
when you have the opportunity to do
so. This is your privilege, and to
perfect your title to carry out such a
purpose remain within your party by
supporting i 8 nominees.
Last Spring, when a gentleman of
this county issued an invitation for
democrats to meet at the courthouse
to send delegates to the May confer
ence in Richmond, whose OBJECT was
to foster senatorial reform, the Co..
RIER called special attention to the
invitation, and yet, with a county
full of advocates for the measure,
only 80 or 40 of them were present.
There were no so-called "bosses" in
charge of this meeting. Had the
people shown the interest in this
meeting they profess now to feel in
senatorial reform, the gathering
would have made such an impression
on our executive committee that it
would have hesitated long time be-
fore deciding to ignore the sentiment
it emphasized. But the meeting in
