AN ABLl! EFFORT
1t is the opinion OF your correspondents
and OF a number of prominent men Whoni
he interviewed that Senator Daniels ar
raignment of the administrations policy
was one of the ablest and strongest efforts
yet made against IT.
Mr.. Hay also dealt it some telling blows,
and, although a local paper claims TO
have made a careful canvass, in which it
failed to fine q single voter who has
decided TO vote differently from 1886, your
CORRESPONDENT found on the same day in
which the canvass was made considerable
number of voters who, in 1896. had voted
for Mckinley, and who told him that they
had been ION the fence on imperialism,
but that after hearing Senator Daniel
they had decided to vote for Mr.. Bryan.
Several prominent Republicans OF Har-
rtsonburg said to your correspondent that,
though their conscience wouldn't allow
them to vote for Bryan. they were with
him in being opposed to imperialism,
and would vote tor Mckinley only as The
less of two evils.
WILL RUN BEHIND.
It is believed by many Republicans,
who are in a position to know, that Glib
bens, of Winchester, the Republican nomi-
nee for Congress. will run very muetl be-
hind the Republican ticket.
This may be accounted for by the fact
that Gibbens is F'unkhouser's friend. and
a large numbar OF the anti-Funkehouser
Republicans Will vote against Giotems,
through hatred for Tunkhouser-
Funkilouser seems to be an incubus
TO local Republicans. he having, by in
vol1ing all that is had of Croker and Quay
methods, placed himself at the head of
the Republican party in this county. X
man who has hitherto been
prominent local Republican recently said
to me that on national questions he was
still d Republican, but that in State and
local politics he could not stomach the
domination of Funkhouser methods.
To sum up the outlook. it appears that
Mckinley's majority here in 1895 viii be
very much reduced, if not entirely over
come.

FELL FROM \ TRE>TLE.
A man whose name on papers on his per-
son shows to have been j. S. Cummings,
was found dead under the Layinan trestle
on the C. & ". Railroad Wednesday
morning. The county cororer, who visited
the scene, deemed an inquest unnecessary,
1t being evident that the deceased had
met his death by falling or jumping from
the trestle.
