Senator Daniel.

The Washington Hatchct, in re
cent issue, pays the following flatter
ing tribute to Senator John w
Daniel:
"Senator j. w. Daniel is one o
the few men in congress, and especial
~ in the Senate, who connects the
present with the past; the day O.
meanness, broken pledges, treachery
greed, bribery, trusts, and tariffs
with the old days of honor, integrity
and patriotism. There are other
men in congress who are equally
honorable, but no one who possesses
the magic power to carry us back by
his matchleSs oratOry, gemmed with
the suggestions and reservations Of a
glorious past, to the halcyon days Of
the republic, when the "glory" of Il
flag was not "old," but fresh, and
stirring the depths of the heart to
patriotic enthusiasm, when the sym
Dol of the republic was not the aegis
Of the corruptionists but the standard
of a free and independent people.
Senator Daniel is a Virginian Of the
old school, one Of those men now
passing away who unite profound
ethical and political philosophy, in
the old Greek sense, with an immense
fund of practical information and
common sense, and all blended in the
heart of generous love OF country and
ol1-time honor and integrity. Like
Jefferson, whose disciple he is, he is
found every time, never faltering, on
the side Of the struggling people
against the robbers of the common
wealth. His moral courage is equal
to his physical. He went off the
battlefield wounded. using two mus
kets for crutches. In defeat in pol.
itics, he is equally courageous, for
courage means heart. lie would pre-
fer defeat in the right to success in
the wrong. He has an abiding faith

Ir is probable that the railroads
will make a rate of single fare fol
the round trip to the National Demo
cratic Convention in Kansas City
July 4th. The Western Passenger
Association is known to be in favor
of the one fare rate, and it is believed
the railroads of the entire country
will make this rate. The regular
Fourth of July rate has heretofore
been a fare and third for the round
trip, but an exception in favor OF
Kansas City, with no restriction as
to distance, seems likely.
