PUBLIC MEN OF THE SOUTH.

DaDvllle. Va, Oct. 70, l9OO.
10 the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
desire to salute you and to express
the qualification and pleasure have
had in reading your paper. You think
and think so much alike on political
subjects that there must be mystic
bond OF union between US.
1t was from the Inspiration OF such
journals as the Gazette that our fore.
fathers were prompted 10 insert into
the Bill OF Rights that the freedom OF
the press was the bulwark OF civil liber-
ty.
l have been especially pleased with
your late references to the public men
of the South, who, under the Influence
of executive patronage, have closed
their mouths against the people who
have bestowed upon them honors so
many and so long, They were the
friends of the southern people until
they put on the epsulettes of the re-
publican party, and now when the southern
people are fighting for their political and
personal liberty, these ingrates have either
gone TO their enemies OF do not dare say they
favor the election Of the man who is fighting
20 nobly for the cause OF those people. They
have renounced their former convictions for
military titles which they now wear as the
snail does the painted shell elaborated Of his
slime.
Should Bryan be defeated they will say 1t
is very well, for be is nothing but JscObiB
and demsgogue. But should he be elected
no parasite who ever frequented the tables OF
the rich to make his living by Asttery would
cater with more complsissnce to Mr.. Bryan
than they will. With much respect, &C.,

INTELLIGENCE from sll the close
States is to the effect that republican
election money was never so plentiful
in them as it is now, and that
the price republicans are paying
for votes Is three and four
times higher than was ever paid
in former years. Notwithstanding all
their bank notes and all their bull =
doing, it is plain to be seen that the
republican managers are seriously
alarmed lest the poor people of the
country shall rise in their might and
cast the money changers out OF their

BESIDES THE injury which mllitarism,
as it has been appropriately called, Will
iufiict upon the country in general, IN
dividuals should consider how 1t will
inevitably affect their dearest interest
their own family. When the CUBAN
excitement arose in 1898 aud volun-
teers we're called for, thousands OF
Young men, under the influence OF a
mistaken patriotism, volunteered to go
to the assistance of the so-called pa
triots, and to svenge the blowing up
of the Maine, which has never oeen
and never will be proved. Boys OF
l6 and II even, in considerable num-
bers, and against the wishes OF their
narents, insisted on volunteering, ana,
in many cases, could not be controlled,
and were allowed to do 80. Many
young men who had joined the volun'
teer militia of the States, for the sole
nurpose of "repellng invasion or sup
pressing instruction, the one purpose
for which they could lawfully be called
out. were morally compelled, by The
fear of being called co wards, to 60 10 q
war which they knew to be uuDeces-
sarv and some believed to be unjust.
What was the consequence y Many o.
both classes succumbed to the fatigues
of a camp life and the insslu'rity OF the
places to which they were sent, and per-
ished on their own soil. Others fell in
battle, or will 60 MANNED and confirm
ed invalids during lie. And for what
The patriots" who were then said TO
be fully capable of self government,
are now declared, by the very
same persons, wholly incompetent to
rule themselves, and must wait our
pleasure and undergo our training te-
fore they can be trusted to do
90. These results OF the war
have inflicted far more injury
than the war itself. We must
have the Philippines too, not to free
their inhabitants, but to place upon
Sheir necks another yoke, for the prlvl'
lege Of doing which we generously paid
Spain twenty millions of dollars. Then
more men must be had and more faml-
lies must be despOiIed of their sons to
be used in slaughtering meu fighting
for freedom; and become themselves
victims to the climate by disease and
insanity. The $4,000 applications for
pensions already, brings out this point
in the strongest light; but it does not
and cannot show us the mothers tears,
the hesrtachs of the father; the cor
ruption of morals which must follow
such a service. Be warned then free
men of America. What has been will
continue to be. and worse unless you
interpose your fiat. More men will be
needed, and if your sons do not volun-
teer or enlist in sufficient numbers. next
comes the CONSUMPTION. They will be
forcibly takea away from you, as they
were 10 our own great war, aud perhaps
perish on a foreign shore. Then you
submitted to it, either from desire to
preserve the Union or for the high and
holy purpose of defending your coun.

of domination. Go then to the polls
