VOTE FOR LAMB.

I 4 parting word with the Gold Democrats,
so-called, OF this community. Nothing has
occurred within the past four years to
make such Democrats change their views
on the money question. AS Gov. O'F'errall
we'll said in his card the other day, these
Democrats thought in 1896 they were right;
now they know it. We can readily under
stand how such Democrats will refuse 10
vote for Mr.. Bryan. seeing that he has
time and again declared that he is as much
as ever III favor of free silver, and that
If he becomes President he will do what
he can to promote the silver cause. But
we can see no sufficient reason why they
HAY not with perfect consistency vote for
Captain John Lamb for Congress. Indeed
that seems TO US the natural thing for
anti-Bryan Democrats TO do. These Dem
ocrats hsleve in the principles Of Demo-
crazy. and they are radically opposed TO
the principles Of Repubicanism. They
can enter their protest against free silver
by refusing to vote for bryan, and they
can 4. the same time enter their protest
against McKinleyism by voting for the
Democratic nominee for Congress.
The Times has given Capt. Lamb its
cordial support because it knows him to be
a true man and faithful representative,
and even if it were a choice Of evils we
should certainly take Lamb in preference
10 Allan. But it is not choice of evils.
John Lamb is all right He is true
Southerner, loyal Virginian, a man who
showed his love for his State by shoulder
ing arms in her defense, and he is in every
way fit and worthy to represent this dis
trict in Congress.
The South wants all the friends possible
in the next Congress Of the United States,
and John Lamb has given the best possible
proof that he is devoted to the South's
interests. We hope that every Democrat
in Richmond and the Third Distric. will
go to the polls to-day and cast vote Tor
John Lamb No Democrat will make
mistake in so doing.

prospects are subjected 10 the fierce light
of the most searching criticism that minds

and which pours out financial aid to those
that can stand the criticism; while it
slrivels up and blows to the four winds
Of heaven the ashes of those which are
founded in dishonesty, or in the sangune
expectations of over confident men. The
men who co-operated with Jackson i'll his
war upon the Bank of the United States
were, in the main, men who in the past
few years would have been. II alive, the
EXTREMIST single gold standard men,
Thomas III. Benton. SO devoted to the idea
OF an Interchangeable standard OF value that
he was known all over the country as
"Old Bullion was Jackson's maiastay
il. his great fight, and his other assistants
were men OF the strongest financial views
and the widest reading in the financial
history of the world. They were the very
antipodss of The Populis.s of to-day, and
Of those Hilo rave at Wall Street. They
were men as capable of understanding the
advantages and the necessity of Wall
Street 10 the healthy development Of the
science Of money as any men that ever
lived in this country.
The fact is that Jackson's contest with
the Bank OF the United States was 50 long
ago that its lesson is lost in the busy hur-
ly-buriv of events TO all but the real stu
dents of political history. Jackson was not
fighting tie bank because he was in any
way tinctured with Populism or an ami
mostly towards success in business. He
perceived very clearly that the partner
shin which that institution was founded
on, between the Government and party
of favored individuals, had created a vast
money monopoly that threatened to over
shadow The Government itself and take
possession of it. It was this clement in
the banks character that attracted Jack
sons animosity, and not the fact, in the
remotest degree, that it represented sue
cessfui endeavor, progress and advance.
So that there was no similarity whatever
between Jackson's party and the Populis.s
of to-day, and they should never be con-
founded when the subject is treated.
