MCKINLEY PROSPERITY.

. Prosperity in Augusta county means
Is cent wheat, and cattle lower than

Prosperity in Staunton means the
lowest prices for real estate ever
known, and not a new factory in three
years, no new employment, living ex
penses high aud taxes, thanks to Nc
Kinley's wars, the most burdensom'
ever paid.
Prosperity in the various State

Prosperity throughout the United
States means the growth of Trusts
the impoverishment of the poor, and
certainty of Imperialism.

Republican Candidate Quits.

Quite stir has been caused in West
Virginia by the resignation of Joseph
l.. Beury, one of the Republican can
didates for elector at large. Mr.. Beury
is a millionaire coal operator. He
made a canvass for the nomination.
and the State convention placed his
name on the ticket. Later he became
disguised with the makeup OF the
State ticket, as we'll as the congres
sional nominee and the Fayette cOun
ty ticket. SO he withdrew his candi'
dacy, and says he will vote the Demo
cratic ticket. Hundreds OF minere are
employed by him.

Mr.. BRYAN'S APPEAL.

Mr.. Bryan has appealed to the Dem
ocrats throughout the country to rally
to his support With Congress. He
has implored them to spare no effort
to do this. He has shown them that
one vote may elect a Congressman, and
that one Congressman may save the
House. This comes with peculiar
force to those who love Bryan and bis
cause in this district, where there are
some loyal Democrats who would
stand by Bryan to the death, but who
are hesitating as to whether they will,
ON account of some little pique or pre-
judice, refuse to support Mr.. Flood.
We know these men do not wish to
hurt the great cause for which Bryan
and all lovers of liberty have battled
80 long and ardently. We know that
their intention is to give Bryan and
bis cause the heartiest support, and j
they will only reflect that to cleo
Bryan and deprive him Of a Congress
would be to invite him into their hom
to be set upon and murdered, the.
would never hesitate one moment a
to their course and their duty. II
deprive him of Congress will b
to give his enemies knife with whic
to stab him to death. Can any lOys
Democrat then fail to help elect MI
> Flood, and thus give Bryan the aid b
is begging for? Here is what he ha
said:

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

The Confederate reunion last week |
was in every way q success. The
weather was propitious, the atten-
dance large, the greetings cordial, the
harmony unmarried, the enthusiasm
great, in fact every element necessary
to complete success and glorious
good time was present. 1t is hardly
possible to realize that those gray
haired veterans assembled here where

a few years ago, because the memories
of that great event, the civil war, are
80 green, the scars left by it 80 fresh'
it seems but yesterday their great
achievements were going on. Inc
speech of Senator Daniel was full OF
the deeds of these men, and their dead
comrades. He told how, without al
harmony, a gun factory or a powoeI
magazine in the South, with scarcely
la loom to weave a blanket and no gum
coats made south of Mason q DIXON =
line, the Confederate army had sup
piled itself with these essentials OF
war nearly every one of which was
captured from the Yankees and marx
ed U. 8. He told how the army OF tne
Confederacy was organized. Not as II
the army of today, where the officer Il
lord and the soldier a slave, but as
family, where the father told the sol
what to do, and be did it, because III
father had told him to. There wa
nothing mercenary in the make up Q
that army, the money they got as
: pretense for their services would nc
!, buy ham of meat, their clothes cam
to them from looms worked by thel
mothers and sisters at home, their ow
q horses were the ones which we're she
e under them, their enemy numbered 9

r to one, and on many occasions whe
