THE PITY OF 1T.

Ia the early days of this Presiden.
tial campaign The FREE LANCE was
felicitating the people of America
upon the decency with which it was
proceeding and the prospect of an
entire absence of mud singing.
There was every indication that this
happy effect would continue to the
end, because both Of the Presiden.
tial candidates were men of unfair
nished characters, and there was no
inclination upon the part Of either to
deal in personalities, and though the
campaign might wax hot we believed
that neither Mr.. M cKinley nor Mr..
Bryan would condescend to lower the
high standard that is always adopt
cd by true gentlemen, even though
contestants for the highest honors
within the gift of q great people.
And we we're not mistaken in our
estimate of either of these gentlemen,
but we failed to take into reckoning
tho injection of the personality of
Mr.. Hanna or Mr.. Roosevelt into the
forensic arena. Here is where we
missed our calculations. On one
side-snd we are decided in
saying upon one side only
there has been such an unseen.
ly misuse of the latitude in which
the people permit political orators to
deal that had there been an intern
perate man Of the opposition it is
safe to say that not even the scurri-
lous Blaine Cleveland campaign could
have compared to it. The tact and
GOODNESS with which Mr.. Bryan has
taken the wild and uuseemly personal
attacks Of Senator Hanna has raised
him greatly in the estimation of the
people, while the abusive and acri-
monious retorts Of Governor Roose
Welt to public questions has gone far
towards demonstrating that he would
be . dangerous man to have at the
head OF the government. His conduct
has turned the guns Of many inde.

HOW TO VOTE THIS TINE.

White Oak, Stsff ord, Co., Va,
Oct. Doth, 1900
To THE FREE LANCE:
Please publish in the columns Of
your paper that portion of the cleo
ton law which relates to the fixing
Of the tickets to be voted on the 9Th
Of November. By so doing you will
oblige many Of your readers.
II.
The official ballot in this State
which will be provided sll voters will
contain the names of six candidates
for President and vice. President, and
beneath most of them will appear the
names of their electors. Some of the
parties have not named any electors
and there will be blank spaces left
for them, which can be filed in if
desired by the voter. But even this is
unnecessary, as the new law requires
only that the voter shall vote direct
ly for President and vice-President
and not for electors, as heretofore.
To vote for Bryan and Stevenson you
will simply have to run a pencil
through the names of Mckinley and
Roosevelt, and through the names Of
all other candidates for those Offices
All you have to do is to leave stand
ing the names of Bryan and Steven
son, and erase the names of their
competitors. The same plan can be
be adopted in respect to Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, but one
must be very careful to erase
all of the names for President and
vice-President except the candidates
which be desires to vote for. If two
sets of candidates out of the six
should be left unscrstehed the ballot
will not be counted for either. So it
will be seen that no attention need
be paid to the lists of electors.
In some districts there will be quite
number of candidates for Con-
gress-there are fifteen, for instance
in the Eight District; in others there
will be fewer, perhaps only two can
diGstes in some Districts. All of the
candidates will be arranged under
q heading "For Congress-" or some.
thing similar to that. To vote for
the one you desire scratch all of the
other names; but in this case as IL
the case Of President and vice. Pres
ident, il two or more candidates are
left unscratched the ballot will not
count for Congressman. Head lines
can and ought to be left on the ticke'
unscratched, but this is immsterial.
All Of the printed names may be
scratched and a single name written
in pen or pencil, if voter wishes to
cast his vote for some name which is
not on the official ballot.
But in all of it a care should be
had that the pen or pencil passes at
least three fourths of the way through
name which it Is desired 10 scratch.
No who esale scratching, such as an
X, will count in erasing whole list;
the line must be drawn through each
individual name.
