The Tenth District,

Every Congressional district in Vir-
ginia has named it's Democratic candi
date except the Norfolk district, whose
convention does not meet until Angnst
23rd. Among the recent nominations
is that of State Senator Flood in the
adjoining Tenth district. Mr.. Flood
made fair, open and manly fight for
the nomination and won it over great
odds, defeating Judge Quarles, the in
cumbent, and three other strong aspir-
ants. The News has not always ap-
proved the public course of Mr.. Flood
and the writer had occasion frequent
ly in the State Senate last winter to
oppose measures projected by the Ap.
pomattox Senator; but there is no de-
nving the fact that Mr.. Flood has ele-
ments OF strength and personal charac-
teristics that makes him many warm
friends, who stand up for and follow
his lead with unusual devotion and
enthusiasm. Without such friends he
never could have secured the nom1na-
tiOn at Buena Vista last Wednesday
over such men as Quarles, Gordan.
Loving and Catlett, after a hot but
friendly rivalry, marred by no sugges
ton Of unfair methods. Mr.. Flood has a
bright mind, is strong DICTATOR, and
is thoroughly well informed On public
affairs. He ought to experience no diff
ficulty in beating his Republican op-
ponent at the election in November;
and if the Democrats of the district do
their duty his majority will be large
enough to discourage any tampering
with the result by a Republican
Congress. should that be the complex
ion of the next House of Representa-
tiYes.-LYnchburg News.

All for BRYAN.

E. L. Godkin. editor of the New
Y ork Evening Post, who was vehe
ment in denunciaton OF Bryan in 1896,
is now out with an open letter, in
which be says: -"My opinion Of VIM.
Mckinley and the men who surround
him and act with him is that they are
thh most dangerous set of scoundrels
by which any civilized country was
ever beset."
In an interview Senator Wellington.
of Maryland, declared that be would
support Mr.. Bryan, and that be would
be a candidate for reelection to the
Senate. He said: II am unalterably
opposed to the re election of President
Mckinley. Bryan Is a better man in
every way than Mckinley, and l re-
gard his election as essential to the
preservation of the republic.
While in New York Friday, former
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, said he
would take part IN the national Dem
Ocratic campaign, beginning bout the
18th OF September. His first efforts
are to be in Maryland. and then the
national committee of his party will
receive the benefit of his experience.
He says that while it is too early to
speculate on results. Bryan will develop
strength.

AUGUSTA.
We had intended to publish the
above letter in our local columns. but
on reflection place it in mole con-
spicuous place, as it cOntains an hon.
est conviction. The gentleman who
writes this letter does not know Mr..
Food personally, he speaks from what
h. has heard and read about him. II
Mr.. Flood lived in Augusta we believe
he would be as popular as he is in Ap
pJmattox, and We further believe that
he is one of those men who improves
on acquaintance. He is no recluse,
he goes out among the people, be IN xes
with the Democrats of his county and
the State, and he takes them into bis
counsels and seeks their advice. On
all subjects OF State or national import
his opinions are an open book. His
Career as Democrat is untarnished
he has voted the ticket from his youth
up, and though he has been defeated
in several hotly contested battles, hi
has never been known to sulk in biz
tent or falter or fail. Two years age
when Judge Quarles obtained the nom
ination over him, he stepped On the
platform and pledged his cordial anG
hearty support to the nominee, an(
went into the campaign speaking an(
working, and carried Appomattox TO
him by a majority of about 800 votes
This is what draws Democrats t.
him. 1t is no test of party loyalty t,
vote for the candidate Of your choice
it is when candidate whom you d,
not want is nominated that you shoy
your fealty. Mr. Flood showed his b,
supporting his opponent cordially AIT
in earnest.

OUR WEEKLY REPORT.

In our National AbbatOir, or slaugh-
ter house, IN Luzon, about 900 Filipi-
nos were hung up last week. but the
carcasses were not brought in 80 easily
as on some previous occasions. Gen.
Macarthur, who has charge OF the
slaughter pens there, somewhat as a
gentleman of the name of Armour has
of hogs and beeyes in Chicago, wires
that while the American abbatoir
bOasted of about 600 carcasses, the
competitive Filipino abbatoir was bet
ter filled than usual, for they had hung
up last week about 100 American car
cases. Our Chinese houses have only
begun business, but they bid fair to
have heavy trade in the near future.
