A DOUBTFUL THOMAS.

By decisive vote as we all know
Mr.. Thomas Staples Martin of SCOTS
vile, was last week made the nominee
of the Democratic party for U. S. Sen
ator- No graver mistake from part y
standpoint could have been made
Mr.. Martin stands for nothing Demo
cratic. He is against control of cor
pOratlons, he is for high tariff he is for
gold, and he is for centralized govern
ment. 1t is these things which make
him so popular with the Republicans
in Congress and with the Executive.
How does Mr.. Martin procure the
favors he so loudly proclaims himself
able to obtain? BY his feaIty to every
principle which the Republicans advo-
cate When Gov. Mont Ague said IF
appropriations are what we seek We
had better elect Republican" he
should have called attention to the
fact that we were doing even better
than electing Republican, We were
electing man who, under the guise of
Democracy, Was ready and willing to
concede as many Republican measures
as some of the more conservative Re-
publicans. Mr.. Martin voted money
to help build the Railway station in
Washington, and in doing so asserted
that such a thing was customary.
When, where and how much money
of the people has been thus turned in
to build railway stations But Mr..
Martin doubtless carries in his pockets
free passes over every railway In the
State, he possibly carries frank over
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph lines, he can get any favor he
asks from corporations. lie possibly
carries franks over Adams and the
Southern express. Such things would
tend to warm his heart and make 1t
glow with fervOr toward his corpora
ton friends, and they expect favors in
return for these little cOurtesies. 1t
would be interesting to know how
many tom Martin" votes the differ
ent railroads brought into Virginia
just prior TO Tuesday, the I'D of Au
gust. If Mr.. Martins kilograms of
are read carefully they
will tell a tale. A large number of
them came by franks. They show
where his congratulations spring from,
and when a Democrat receives praises
and Fluctuations from many of the
sources Mr.. Martin received his. these
should create suspicion if there were
never any previous doubt of his fidelity
to his party.
