the narrative the Senator, in the Gays fol-
lowing the Civil War, was on wild coun-

huge tree. The natives were trying to
drag it out of the way as a whole when
Senator Vest arrived on the scene, looked
at the tree and at the helpless crowd of
Arkansas natives, and then said: "Why
don't you cut the tree in two at the mid
die and haul the ends out of the way?"
There was a moment of silence, broken
suddenly by one of the crowd, who

This the Administration has been doing
with all the obstacles thrown in its way
that could be originated and operated by
an untiring political adversary. Every
time the policy of the Administration has
been assailed time has served to prove
that the Administration was right and its
assailants wrong. The Republicans OF
this district would stuttify themselves if
they did not stand united for Mckinley.
Not only should they be united for the
national ticket but they should stand as q
man for our gallant nominee for Congress.
BY his energy, courage and ability the dis
trict was snatched from the grasp of the
Democracy. Three times has be been
elected as our representative in Congress,
though cheated out of the seat the last
time he was elected. He has made a
fight no other man in the district could or
would have made, and has suffered great
ly for the party. If elected he will be for
the policy of the Administration and for
all the Republican party stands for.
Let the Republicans of the Ninth Dis
trict do their duty, and Mckinley and
Walker will certainly receive a large
majority in the district.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS IT ALL.
Denver Evening Post.

Denver Evening Post
You bump against him everywhere, il
country and in town,
Upon his sadly swollen head he wears
the knowledge crown,
His bump of self.esteem stands out like
knots upon log,
His egotism never yet was known to sliT
a cog.
His selfassurance has its stamp forever
in his eyes,
No gray and patriarcbal owl could evel
look so wise.
He is a constant suffrer from enlarge
ment of the gall,
And petrifaction of the check, the mar
who knows it all.
He has an unimpeded flow of language
at command,
His active, tireless tongue is of the auto
matte brand,
His nasal organ he inserts in every ones
affairs,
lie sows the grain of knowledge while
his neighbors SOW the tares.
No matter what the theme may be, he'f
posted up to date,
The information that he bears would
wreck common pate,
He thinks without his guidance this ter
restrial whirling ball
Would cease to take its daily spin, the
man who knows it all.
You never hear him say 81 think" He:
far too wise for that,
IT'S knowledge far above dispute that
trlckles through his hat.
He'll meet your solid argument on any
point with sneers,
And pound his views with strokes oil
tongue into your weary ears.
No word of contradiction or correction
will he brook,
His statements are impregnable-he's
talking by the book,
He'll take stand as solid as reck.con-
structed wall,
For what he knows he knows he knows,
the man who knows it all.
He'll tell you how the president should
guide the ship of State,
What wise and everneeded laws our Con-
gress should create,
How generals in time of war should move
against the foe,
And just the very point at which to strike
the fatal blow.
He cannot be accounted for, save on the
theory
That when the Lord created him for some
strange reason He
Deprived him of a set of brains, but gave
him double gall,
And filled his head with "crazy BONES"
the man who knows it all.

CAPITAL ALARMED.

Even the remote possibility of the elec'
ton of Bryan is alarming capital, at least
making those who control it very cautious
about making investments.
A gentleman, in our vicinity, who is
interested with others in very large
property for which negotiations have been
pending for sale, few days ago received
letter from a gentleman Ia Democrat
who is also largely interested in the prop
erty in question. In that letter, among
other things, the writer said:
eff Mckinley should be reelected
think have the property about sold-it is
the same parties to whom sent the sam
Piles of ore you forwarded to me some
time ago, and who wanted to examine the
property last February and March, but we
were not ready. They are waiting now to
see how the election is going. No me IS
gong t5 6uy until after The election aryhO'e. "
The italics are not ours, but were used
by the man who wrote the letter. He is a
Democrat, and lives in one of the most ex-
treme Democratic slrongholds in Virginia.
He sees the situation, however, and, pri-
vately does not hesitate to tell the facts.
There are many thousands of intelligent
Democrats in Virginia and at the South
who recognize the fact that even the pos
sible chance Of the election of Mr.. Bryan
has stopped all investments of capital at
the South. They also think, as does Cen
eral jackson, of Tennessee, that the cleo
ton of Bryan would play havoc with the
business conditions of the country, but
they havn't the moral courage to assist in
preventing the disaster. This class of citi-
zens believe that Mckinley will be elected
by the Northern and Western States, and
for that reason will vote against their hon.
est convictions rather than face the bust
ness and social ostracism that would be
provoked against them if they should vote
the Republican ticket.
1t cannot be denied that fear of Bryan
ism has checked the flow of capital into
our section. If the remote possibility of
Mr.. Bryan's election can produce such an
effect, what would his election do?
We hope the time will come when men
at the South will have the courage to vote
as they think, and not yield their convic-
tons to the partisan demagogues who have
been misleading and misdirecting public
sentiment for more than a quarter of a
century. But for the lack Of backbone on
the part of SO many Of our people McKin-
ley would carry nearly every Southern
State. Many people here want him re-
elected, but are afraid to say So

THE Rheaites are making extravagant
boasts about the crowds that are turning
out to hear Rhea speak. They said that
at Gate City there were two thousand peo-
pie in the court room that will not hold
over one thousand; that he had seven
hundred in the court room at Lebanon,
which hasn't capacity for holding over
four hundred. These reports of course are
exaggerated statements. They are made
for the purpose of creating the belief that
the people are enthusiastic in their support
of Rhea, and to cover up the frauds that
are being contemplated at the approaching
election.

IT is unkind in the Virginia country
newspapers to continue to express the wish
for "a real Democratic newspaper" In
Richmond. The Dispatch is trying 30 hard
to be "a real Democratic newspaper" ac-
cording to the country newspaper standard

And as for those who enjoy hash-with

There are all kinds of politics in that most
estimable and well-meaning newspaper,
something to suit every taste that does not
demand seasoning. AS for the Richmond
News, it is a real Democratic newspaper
but it does not expect its more excitable

Betting is based upon knowledge OBJ
tanned from men IN whose judgment as re.
CARDS results confidence is placed. The
betting men consult Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike who are deemed to be experts
on this subject. When, therefore, we find
the betting people freely making wagers in
favor of the Republicans in the ratio Of
FIVE to two, we come as near to reliable
estimate of what may be expected in the
campaign hs it is possible to get. 1t is not
the estimate of gamblers alone; it is a view
obtained after a study at the hands of men
who have political provision.

FALLAcIoUs ARGUMENT.

1.-The proposition that in case of Mr..
Bryan's election the present Congress can
tie his hands so that he cannot give effect
to bis expressed intention appears to me
to be fallacious. 1t would require new
legislation by party whose policy would
have been rejected by the people through
their last expression at the polls. Further
than this, the next session will expire by
operation of law OH the 4th of March, 1901.
The free silver minority would be justified
by their constituents in using all the re-
sources of dilatory procedure to pre-
vent such legislation, and against
such tactics affirmative legislation such as
you suggest would be probably impossible.
Can any one doubt that Mr.. Bryan would
urge action by his friends in Congress to
prevent the further strengthening of the
policy which he denounces as criminal ?
"Your remarks upon this point seem to
indicate that you rely upon the exercise
Of the power already conferred upon The
Republican party TO prevent the country
from experiencing disasters which Mr..
Bryan will, if he can, bring upon US. May
not suggest that the way to secure safety
Is not to take power from those upon
whom you rely for protection and confer it
upon those whose action you may have
good cause to dread. ~

further legislation, let us look a little far.

MCKINLEY appeals to the higher, the
nobler sentiments of men. Bryan appeals
to the baser passions. Mckinley paints
bright and beautiful pictures for the fu-
ture of the country he loves. Bryan uses
a dirty brush and paints all his flowers
black.

The election law in Virginia is so in.
famously partisan that men who have re-
spect for their good name are reluctant to
act as judges of election. The marking Of
ballots is duty that honest men hesitate
to accept. The very fact that judge Of
election will insist upon marking voters
ballot against his wishes or consent is
enough to call the honesty of the judge in
question.

comforted if they can get any from Yer
