Willis kicked off to Rogers, who was
aoWned by Norcross. Runs through the
llhe by Myers and Hodskins brought
the ball to the centre of the field. Here
Iech played like tigers. Taylor fum-
bled and Lamb was through and on
top of the ball. Willis punted 80 yards,
and in the next scrimmage, there was
tumble behind the Harvard line. and
Lamb again bounced on the ball. The
next lineup was. on the Harvard o.
yard line and Williamson waA given
the ball in an end play. The Tech half
back cleared the line and was follow
ing the side line to the goal line Den
ison tackled him, but the Tech half
backs body and the ball were over the
goal line. There was a lively kick by
Tech men, when the officials declared
that Williamson had run out of bounds
when about II yards from a touchdown.
Fraternity principle ruled again, and
the ball was brought back, the Tech
players acting as though officiating as
pallbearers.
Willis made three yards at centre but
the ball went to Harvard after no adj
vance had been made in attempts by
Hobbs and Williamson. Myers punted
to Willis, who was downed on the 30
yard line. The ball was in direct line
with the centre of the space between
the goal posts, and Willis attempted a
drop kick for field goal, but the ball
fell about a yard short. Myers caught
and carried the ball to the 5-yard line.
Tech seemed to have lost strength and
hope and Myers made 10 yards around

ward men behind the ball on Techs Is

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

LEGISLATORS, BUT NOT REPRE-

(South BOSTON News,

(South Boston News)
The result of the election in Halifax
last week was, we presume, no surprise
to the people of the county generally.
Although there was opposition to the
regular (?) Democratic nominees. lit
tie interest outside OF the party work
ers was manifested in the campaign,
and very small vote was polled.
1twas generally conceded that Tuck
and Lacy would be elected despite the
opposition of Keesee and Burgess. the
Independent candidates, and Harris
and Owen. the colorcd Republican
iiasco. Messrs. Tuck and Lacy, as we
hae before stated. are gentlemen wor-
thy of the confidence OF the people,
and although instructed against the
Will of Il majority of the Democrat tic
voters OF Halifax to vote for Thomas 8.
Martin for the United States Senate
(about the only issue in the campaign,
the people rallied to their support with
handsome majority-not because they
We're the regular nominees" but in
spite OF that fact. y
Apart from the Instructions of the
convention, adroitly manipulated In the
interest of Mr.. Martin, there would
have been no question of n proper rep
resentatlon of the people by Nlessfs
Tuck and Lacy. But as tits, these gen.
tlemen must know that in voting for
Mr. Martin they are only carrying out
the behest of the ring and not ex-
pressing the choice OF the people.
The handsome vote given to Tuck
and Lacy was very largely cast by
Democrats opposed to Mr.. Martin and
the methods used in securing delegates
to the County Convention.

scEvAs & sIMoNs.

Nobody has any right, in Texas, or
elsewhere, to speak of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy, unless he knows something
of Jefferson's political creed, as stated
by himself; the Virginia and Ken
lucky resolutions of 170S, of which Mr..
Jefferson was substantially the author,
and his views on money (gold and sill
vcr) and on bank notes and National
Banks. TO speak intelligently and
truthfully of Democracy, he should also
know its platforms before the war and
especially since the war and the
changed conditions it forced on the
country.
If, knowing these things, de attacks
Bryan and the Democratic platform of
cal and traditional, Democracy. he Is
lying-under mistake that can only
be explained by considering him sud-
denly gone crazy.
The platform of 1896 Is, however, a
distinct revolt from Clevelandism and
all that apostasy. which so suddenly
went over to the money power after
swearing everlasting allegiance to the
people. 1t is this revolt-the refusal OF
the people to share in the treason OF
Cleveland, Carlisle and the others-ths
manly and Jeffersonlike revival of the
real Democracy at Chicago-it Is this
that cnrages the traitors who sought
to sell the Democratic party to the
same Trust that had already secured
the Republican party; and for such
wretches to appeal to Jefferson is a
dissertation rs vile as that of Sceva,
and Simon the sorcerer, in the days of
st. Paul.

The future does not seem so bright
for their children as 1t did TO their
fathers or the last generation. 1t is
even asserted that the negro of the
North is dcterorating; that crime
among them is on the Increase. Booker
Il. Washington is quoted as saying that
the coIorcd race. while constituting but
twelve per cent. OF the population, is
responsible for thirty per cent. OF the
crime Of this country"
1T is said that crime among them is
increasing more rapidly than intelli-

SENATOR DANIEL SPEAKS.

The anti-Bryan and anti-Democratic
set have been diligently occupied for
some weeks past in manufacturing
some false comfort from something
Senator John w. Daniel, of Virginia
was reported to have said. The SEN
ator gives this connection its quietus
in published letter. from which we
extract the following:
I am n believer in the principles of
the platform of 1896. which was largely
opposed in the proportion that it was
misunderstood or misrepresented, but
it Is n self-cvident fact that the plat
form of 1900 may require additions and
qualifications to the work of 1896,
which We're not then, and may not
now, be apparent. have not lately
seen or conferred with my colleague
Senate Martin, and 1t is not true, as
has been stated, that we have any
concerted plans on the subject.
The Senator says he sees no en-
couragement for Democrats in the
recent elections: but others do see
encouragement; and, if none saw any,
the true Democrat fights for the prin-
ciples he believes in, encouragement.
or no encouragement. And the Rich
mond Dispatch, considering the facts
and figures of the Ohio election, says:
Certainly, to say the very least, there
is nothing in these facts and figures
to discourage the Democrats. either of
Ohio or the country at large, from
keeping up the fight agalst imper-
ialism.

COSTLY PARTY UNITY.
(The Roanokc Times.l

Senator Daniel, writing 10 the Phila-
delpha Press with regard to state.
mentS he was said to have made, con-
cludes his letter with the remark that
he sees no encouragement to Demo-
Gratis in the recent elections" Surely
Senator Daniel cannot include Virginia.
In which State his friend, Thomas S.
Martin, according to many people has
had SUCH "a splendid victory" But If
he did not mean Virginia he would In
all probability have said so. Therefore
1t may be taken for granted that Sen
ator Daniel sees no encouragement to
the Democrats of this State in the re-
cent election. In this view we must
heartily concur. The Democrats of Vir-
ginin have no reason to feel proud of
what they have done, nor will they find
In the future that they have acted for
the best. They have, 1T Is true, main
tanned party unity but the cost was
exactly as we predicted far greater
than the gain is worth. Having kept n
party unity. what have they gained?
Nothing but an iron ruler who is using
them for all they are worth and who
will surely deliver them over to the en-
envy when the opportunity arrives as he
now occupies seat on the saddle they
have bowed their backs to receive.
They have closed up around the sore,
forgetful of the fact that'it will eat it's
way out and leave the last state worse
than the first. Had they looked n lit
tie way ahead rs many wished them to
do and removed this cancer of Martin
ism al first, the wound would soon have
healed, and the tissues knitting to-
gether again with new life. would have
been stronger than ever But this was
not done. And what have we? a house
divided against itself The party is dis
rupted no matter what may be said to
the contrary. Many Of it's best and most
conscientious men have withdrawn de-
claring they will have nothing more to
do with 1t, while the remainder follow
ing blindly along the timeworn track,
without independence and refusing to
be warned have set UP for themselves
q leader because he called himself n
Democrat, no matter whether he was
or nit. Now they have him and they
will continue to have him until such
time as he has finished with them.
Then they will find too late that they
have been tricked. They will know that
the charges of vote buying. brow beat
ing. party whip cracking and the like
have not been all idle talk. However,
Virginia has chosen Martin to repre-
sent them and they must bear the bur-
den. But If there were really such cause
for joy why should Senator Daniel
make such sweeping assertion as the

THE PROPOSED EXPOSITION.
(Richmond Times.)

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot says:
1.-THE indications are that the PROPOSE
ton OF Hon. T.. G. Folkes (who was re-
elected from Richmond to the House Of
'Delegates) for the appropriation by the
General Assembly of 100000 for an eX-
position to be held in that city, will be
sat upon by decided majority. Quite
q number of country and several town

approval of the scheme, and 1t is rea-
Isonaby certain that 1t Will not be
scriously considered. Itetrenchment and

State at large, and that these commits

be in competition, the bidding would
be spirited and we doubt not that Nor.
folk would be an aggressive competitor
Mr.. Folkes believes that competition
would be SO sharp that the successful
