began by eSpresslng his I pleasure "a pc e.
that he was always willing and ready
to do what he could for the cause of
Democracy. He did not. find fault with
any mans politics. it being the PRIVILEGE
of every man to think for himself and
carry ont his convictions. but he did not
see how any Virginian could vote the
Virginia was not naturally Democratic and
he wanted to hurl that assertion back
into the teeth of those who uttered it. He
then touched on the new Constitution
and said that every one knew for what
purpose the convention had been called,
and that it had accomplished that pur-
pose
He then turned his attention to the i'm
perialistic policy of the Republican party
and denounced it in unmeasured terms.
The Republican party was one of broken
freedom. but it was hard to understand
how it could float over the Philippines.
when our guns We're turned loose on those
who had been our allies against Spain.
He then proceeded to a discussion OF the
tariff and trusts 1t was hard to tell what
was the remedy for tho trust evil but
he certainly thought that tariff reduction
| would give relief. Referring to the coal
strike. he said that Morgan and not the
| President had settled it. He did not
blame the trusts for charging high prices,
| that was huma nature. but he was OPP
posed to the laws which made it possible
| for them to do that.
In conclusion he urged the voters to
come out to the polls and do their duty
on the Jay of election. Mr. Wizards

The adoption by the Common Council
Of what is knowngas the Peters substitute
for the Minor investigating resolution
has not only raised a great howl among
the PEOPLE, because its effect is to appar-
entity kill any investigation, but it has
raised the question in the minds of many
good parliamentarians that it was en-
1irel! irregular and could not properly
have been adopted as a substitute.
It will be recalled that the Minor reso-
luton was a joint or concurrent resolu-
ton, while the so-called substitute made
no reference to concurrence by the Board
and cannot be touched by that body In
this view of the case it is contendei that
the Minon resolution is still pending in
tie lower branch, and awaits the con-
currence or non-concurrence of that body.
