A TRIBUTE TO
WILLIAM L. WILSON
From the Religious Herald.

From the Religious Herald
Mr. Wilson's life is full OF instruction
for bright and ambitious young men,
lie was man OF scholarly tastes and
aptitudes, and he found that these, SO
far from interfering with or uniting
him for usefulness in political life, we g
emiuently uFeful to him. The so-called
"smsll vices" which so many regard as
well nigh indispensable TO public men,
never entered into his life. He was
always and everywhere a studious'
cultivated Christian gentleman. Nor
did he fall into the error, all too COM
mon among distinguished men. tina.
multiplied public engagements set lin
free f'om practical participation in
Christian work. He was a devout
Baptist, unobtr usive, but thoroughly
loyal to hi denomination. His pastor,
Rev. T, A. Hall, declares that he was
an invaluable member of the little
church at Lexington, and contributed
in many important ways to the joy and
strength Of both church and pastor.
And so in his death there has gone
out from among us a distinguished
man, whose long, valuable and varied
public services were not marred or
soiled by any unworthy act; Christian |
who remained sturdily loyal in the
midst OF innumerable temptations; a
man OF high ideals, who did not lose
them or suffer them to be broken in
he stress OF party strife.

friends of Mr.. William j. Bryan mr.
hopeful all over the country, an}, con
sider1ng the wonderful canvass he La!
made, it is not ascnable to thinl
he may be MIR. McKinley's successor
The canvass has been q heated cno
and all the voters may be expected tc
lie at the polls. Mr., McKinley's i'm.
per ahstic policy has alienated thous-
ands of voters in the Middle and Great
Northwest, and such States as Indiana.
Illinois and OHIO have been rendere !
exceedingly doubtful by the large
foreign element of voters in them, who
ned from monarchies and empires in
Europe to escape what Mr.. McKinle,
aud his Lenchmen have in waiting for
them in free America.
If a prediction or forecast of an
election is worth anything, Mr.. j. K.
Jones, Ichairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, says that Bryan's
majority in the electoral college is be-
yond cavil or doubt. Richard Croker
the chief of Tammany, says New York
State is surely for Bryan. Mr.. Bryan, |
who has in the past Two months spoken |
to more than half million people, is
sangulne OF bis election. Upon such |
nigh authority as these gentlemen,
have we not much to hope forp Is it
not enough to strengthen a weak -kneed
voter who drifts with the tide, or to
raise the spirits of the disconsolate
pesslmist who looks only on the dark
side? L
From over the district comes the
cheering intelligence that Flood will
carry the party's vote, and Virginia |
will have ten Congressman in the pextl
House of Representatives
The Republican party las come to q 6
parting of the ways, and the nextI +
House OF Representatives will probably v

he case, and Bryan is elected Presi-
lent, the Republican party will be a
lurled from power and place in the

manner. y
