Many people can digest only GER
tain things. Therefore they eat only
those things.
That surely doesn't make the
stomach strong enough to digest any
thing else.
Dieting is weakening.
We need all kinds of food.
Some think the sturdy, robust
man who eats three good meals a
day Can eat anything because he is
so strong and healthy. The fact is,
he is strong and healthy because he
can eat anything.
The real secret of strength and
health is good, wholesome, blood

MACHINE WORK.

We are informed that the machine.
that is Mr.. Martins supporters, are
organized in every precinct in the
State. That is, they will have at every
voting place men who know every man
who is to vote for Mr.. Martin, and
these will see that he is there and
voted. They also have a majority, if
not all of the election judges at many
precincts, and as their chosen men in
Richmond week before last polluted
the ballot box, disgraced the party
and made stencil of the election, We
may look for some of the same kind of
work at many other places in the
State.
1t therefore behooves Mr.. Monta-
gue's friends to see that his friends are
also out and that they vote. They
should keep tally of those present
and voting. A victory for Montague
is easy if his frieuds get to the polls
and are not cheated.

MR.. MARTINS RECORD. CIVIL AND
MILITARY.

Every worthy effort at Washington
accomplished in behalf of Virginia has
been accomplished by Senator Martin.
He did it all. How do we know this
He told us so himself in his speech in
StauntOn on last court day. 1t was
nothing but l Il! III! all the time.
The tale was not told prettily or we
might have stood it better. 1t was
narrated in a rambling, disconnected
way, and Il" was ever present.
What has given us concern is where
will any record be left to our other
Senator and our ten Congressman
What need have we for them if one
man does it all Every vestige of
record they might have established has
been swept away by the cyclone above
mentioned. We would like to see
poor Virginia Congressman get up now
and undertake to show that he had
done anything. What a traitor he
would prove, and how quickly the ma
chine would clip off his head for his
temerity. 1t is said that no sooner had
it been ascertained that that battery
could be procured for the Richmond
HOwitzers than all hands laid down
and allowed the Hon. Thomas s. Mar
tin to march right up and capture it
himself. But in war times be was such
a shrewd soldier and so crafty, that
he differed from Ben Battle in the
following partlc ulars:
Tom Martin was a soldier bold.
Unused to wars alarums,
No cannon ball took off his legs
Nor otherwise his ''arums"

COM M ERCIALISM.

Senator Martin is his speech at New

advocating "Commercialism,'' only
said in another way what Senator
Daniel said in the St. Louis convention,
when he, Daniel, proclaimed, 1--WE are
tired of being defeated This senti-
ment was uttered in order that a
candidate might be nominated in
sympathy with commercialism can
didate who was to be business can
didate regardless of the theories upon
which the nation was founded. A
money candidate, hard money can
didate. What fiascO followed. The
most miserable that has been known
within the history of the country ex-
cept when Greedy opposed Grant.
Daniel, Martin, Tillman, and other
of the smaller fry, are all blowing the
same trumpet.

A DEAL WITH THE MACHINE.

The Old Dominion Sun of this city,
and Col. 8. Brown Allen. U. s. Mar
shall for the Western District OF Vir-
GINA, have had some spirited contro-
yersies of late. That paper has been
bristling for some time with political
pleasantries" between several able and
distinguished Republicans. With this
We have nothing to do, but the editors
of the Sun. in explaining their side of
the differences with Col. Allen az to
the mode of running the party, use the
following words in last weeks edito-
rails:
"A few days, however, before the
committee met, Col. Allen 'phOned for
one of the editors of this paper to come
to his office, and stated there that he
saw the Sun was committed to the
policy of running candidate for Con-
gress in this district. He was told in
reply that we did favor making NOM
inatiOn for the reason that the Repub-
lican vote could better be gotten on
the registration books under the new
registration clause, then in effect, by
having a candidate for Congress as an
incentive for them to register and
vote. HIS reply aOdS, suppose a0e
make deal aO9th Mr.. Martin and
Mr.. Flood, the Democratic Congress
man from this district. and recognized
as the Democratic mGchI1e-that If
we would make no nomination for
Congress against him (FIood) that he
would give us liberal registration. !"
Italics ours.
Did Col. Allen know he could make
a deal with Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Flood?
or did he only know that they were
the machine" and could most likely
be dealt with or had he had other
deals with these gentlemen which
gave him hope or did he believe or
know them to be commercial states
men so long before Mr.. Martin s
famous Newport News speech about
providing food for yoatr family, and
raiment for your a0ate and children.
and getting part OF aDhat a0as going :
One thing is certain Col. Allen was not
making an idle or foolish proposition
to the editors of the Sun. Col. Allen
does not do such things. When Col.
Allen said suppose we make q deal
with Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Flood there
was very shrewd and we'll informed
person talking about a very important
political matter. On the other hand
there was another gentleman deeply
interested and in earnest present, who
had gone to see Col. Allen by invita-
ton, and they we're discussing most
imperative and important subject, the
subject of keeping their party together
and obtaining the largest registration
of their voters. They were talking
business. and Col. Allen proposed q
deal, and he further spoke of Mr.. Mar
tin and Mr.. Flood as the recognized
Democratic machine. Men like Col.
Allen do not talk without reason. Col.
Aliens thought and suggestion of q
deal with the Democratic machine,
shows whittier we are drifting, if ill.,
deed we have not drifted too near the
vortex to recover. Col. Allen must have
known whereof he spoke.

THE WISE STATESMAN.

He never spoke until he found
Out just how things were going;
He always switched his views around
The way the wind was blowing,
And when, at last,
ALI doubt was past,
With ardOr that was splendid
He gave up being dumb
And manfully commended
For what was bound to come.
With solemn look his head he shook
While there was cause for doubling;
He watched the course that others took
And bravely heard their shouting;
Whate'er the bill,
He waited till
There was no chance to blunder,
Then rising fearlessly
He spoke in words Of thunder
For what was bound to be.
Within the Hall of Fame he got
A lofty place and spacious,
Because the foolish people thought
Him statesmanlike. ssgacious;
And you and ],
If we but try,
May make men think we're needed;
Look wise until you know
How things will end, as he did,
And then begin to blow.

You see him in statesman's guise
Take hold of things so nicely.
That you or l,

To comprehend his meaning.
Or ever solve his deep resolve,
AS to which side he's leaning;
But we mnst wait, till chance, or fate,

was settled by Senator Martin. If the

to hear that he wrote the Ten Com

statute of Frauds and Perjuries.
