ed against the provision in that Act
which directed that the new Constitu-
ton, when made, should be submitted
to the people for ratification or rejec-
ton. Failing to defeat that provision,
Mr.. Bruce united with Carter Glass and
other insincere Democratic politicians
to so amend the Act as to provide that
the Constitution, if submitted, should be
submitted to a restricted electorate.
Is not this a nice record for one who
is claiming the friendship and support of
the masses of the people because he is
self-made man, lately poor and OBJ
scure boy, one of the people? Has any
man, with so limited opportunity, ever
so hagrantly betrayed and deserted the
people? He was in the councils of the
Democratic management at the Capitol,
and he knew why new constitution
was to be made. He knew the object
was to curtail and restrict the electorate
so as to take all power from the people
and lodge it, as has been done, in the
hands of political oligarchy. And,
yet, he voted for calling a convention.
He knew that his party at the Norfolk
convention, in 1901, hadwritten pledge
in its platform that the new Constitu-
ton, when framed, should be submitted
to the people for ratification or re5ec-
ton, but he joined in with Carter Glass,
the perfdious author of that pledge,
to violate the solemn promise of his par
ty. He did not have enough respect and
love for the dear, common people from
whom he had recently come, to allow
them to pass in judgment upon the new
organic law which was to be made by
partisan Constitutional Convention. He
was so much of a partisan and so little
a friend of the masses that he was will
ing to violate the precedents Of the
fathers and trample upon the funda-
mental principles underlying the maxi
ing of all constitutions.
Thanks to Mr.. Bruce and his Demo
cratic associates, nearly one-hhlf the
white men in Virginia have\been
robbed of the right to vote, and the
disfranchised army belong chiefly to
the working and poorer class, that class
from which Mr.. Bruce's ardent sup
porters so joyfully proclaim he has hon
orably sprung,

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM

'The Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional district of Virginia, in con-
vention assembled at Marion, Va, on
the 10th day of June, 1906, make the
following declarations:
"First. We declare our unalterable
devotion to and confidence in the prin-
ciples and policies of the national Re-
publican party as heretofore set forth
in its platforms and exemplifed by the
splendid administrations of William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt. And
we hereby express our admiration for
the devotion to duty and supreme pa
triotism which have inspired President
Roosevelt in his efforts to elevate
American citizenship and uphold the
rights Of the people.
Second. We endorse the record and
work of our representative in Congress,
the Hon. Campbell Slemp, and assert
without fear of successful contradiction
that no more faithful and efficient rep
resentative has ever represented the
people of this district in the national
House Of Representatives. And should
it be the will of this convention that he
again carry the flag of the party in this
district, we pledge him our united sup
port and promise him triumphant vic
tory at the November election.
"Third. We believe in a priceless
ballot, and so believing, most heartily
condemn the dctestable, partisan suf-
frage and registration laws that have
been treacherously fastened upon the
people of Virginia by the Virginia De-
mocracy. By the adoption and applica-
ton of the poll-tax qualification, both
as prerequisite to registration and vot-
ing, and by so-called educational quail
ifcation for registration many thousands
of worthy citizens in this district and
throughout the State have been de-
prived of the most sacred Of rights
the right to vote-and are forced to
bear a heavy share of the burdens of
taxation without being allowed to have
any share in representation. The Re-
publicans in this district hereby declare
that they will not cease to condemn and
contest these iniquitous suffrage laws
until non-partisan and priceless ballot
is again restored to the people.
Fourth. We. appeal to the people of
the Ninth Congressional district, with
out regard to former party affiliations,
to unite with US and elect as our repre-
sentative in Congress man who en-
dorses and stands with heyfnancial and
economic policies that have been and
are now developing the mineral, agri-
cultural and other resources of our sec
ton of Virginia, that have brought
prosperity and happiness to all classes
of our people, and that have made us,
not only the greatest producing, but
the greatest consuming nation of the
world.
Fifth. We condemn the action of
the last Democratic Legislature of Vir-
ginia for taking from the people of this
State the right to elect their commits
sioners of revenue.
"Sixth. We heartily endorse the ac-
ton of our State chairman and State
in their untiring efforts to
redeem the State from Democratic mis-
rule; and for the high plane on which
they conducted the last Republican CUB
campaign"

Democratic Committee from the Ninth
Congressional District, and exhibit a
"Scott County Ballot" to prove the
character and qualifications of that COM
mittee; for it is composed chiefly of men
who served on the committee when
that infamous device and others nearly
as bad were offered as ballots to the
voters of the Ninth District.
No doubt Mr.. Bryan will be deeply

of the Democratic management in Vir-
ginia, IF he is furnished the proper evil
denee to judge-of It's character.

THEIR SHATTERED HOPES.

A few weeks ago the Democrats were
happily engaged chasing rainbow hopes.
Now they are again wallowing in the
slough of despond. Three weeks ago
they were Boosting of a reunited party,
even the gold bug element having
grounded arms to the peerless leader
of the Platte" They were not only
going to elect majority in the next
House of Representatives, but they
were almost certain Of winning the
Presidency in 1908. A tremendous
boom for Mr.. Bryan had been started
and was roaring in every Democratic
camp in the land The hopeful and
faithful conceived and prepared to carry
out reception at New York for their
hero and next candidate for the Presi-
deney when he returned from foreign
lands, where he had been travelling for
about one year. Democratic politicians
from all sections of the country gath
cred at Gotham at the appointed time
to welcome Mr.. Bryan home, and hear
him deliver a speech which was to out
line the policy and designate the plat
form of the party for the coming Con-
gressional and the next Presidential
election. The idol of the party arrived
on time and was received with loud
plaudits by the eager and expectant
throng of Democratic politicians; and
in due season he made his great deliv-
erance at Madison Square Garden.
A death-dealing bomb thrown by
some desperate terrorist in the recep-
ton halls of the Car of Russia could not
by it's explosion be more startling and
destructive than has been the speech of
Mr.. Bryan in the ranks of the Democ-
racy. Discord, CONSERVATION, confus-
ion, despair, elimination and recrimina-
ton are now prevailing where hope had
been spreading love-feast.
Some of the Democratic newspapers
are trying to reconcile themselves to
that great speech of Bryan and foster
the belief that his Populistic and So
cialistic utterances were merely sugges
tive, and were not intended to be made
by him a part of the Democratic slo-
gan for 1908. But self-delusion can
not be worked successfully by such
journals. The Objectionable doctrines
he announced at Madison Square Gar
den are his pets, and will be among the
paramount issues ne VIII seek 10 lntro-
troduce if he should be the Democratic
candidate in 1908. He is not only the
recognized leader of his party but its
platform.
Mr.. Bryan's speech has not only par
alyzed the Democratic press but has en-
ragged and shocked many of the party
leaders. Among them we may mention
Senator Bailey, of Texas, Senator Dam
iel, of Virginia and Mr.. Jerome, of New
York. Bailey says that Bryan may be
the nominee of his party for President,
but that he will not be permitted to
make its platform. Daniel speaks very

RUSHING TO THE BAND WAGON.

The appearance of Messrs Daniel and
Martin, our two Senators from Virginia,
and Hon. Hal D. Flood, one of our Vir-
ginia Congressman, in the Bryan pro-
cession last week, was truly cause for
guffawing. If we could only here repeat
the many mean things these gentlemen
have said of him, and could in the re-
hottest degree approximate the mean
things they have thought, they would
fill volume. There were but two mem
bers of Congress from Virginia who
were for Bryan when he was first nom
mated. 1t has been a subject of rejoic-
ing for the friends of these distinguish
ed gentlemen, some of whom as we see
are safely in the band wagon how they
fought Bryan's nominations and how
they rejoiced at his defeats, and it has
been a source of remorse to many of
their friends how, when they found out
their mistake, they so cringingly sought
to put different face on their actions.
Mr.. Martins tumble into the band wag
on here in Staunton when the State con-
vention met in 1896, was then and has
ever since been deeply humiliating. The
hurrying to catch the Bryan band wagon
now is again humiliating, because it is
so hypocritical Really we don't see
how they can hold up their heads in the
face of their bygone deeds or grab Bry-
ans hand as if they were really glad to
see him.-Staunton Spectator.
This is a pretty severve criticism by a
bitter Democratic paper of the insincere
Virginia leadership of its party. But
our Stanton contemporary will have
another opportunity to score these gen
tleman as it will witness the haste with
which the Virginia leaders will scram-
BILE out of the Bryan band wagon.

The CaIorfc Paradox,

Freezing is usually associated with
cold, but water can be frozen on a red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric para
doX. If a drop of water is placed on a
redhot or white hot metal plate il
does not suddenly flash into steam un-
der the influence of the great heat Ii
does not even boil. 1t simply evapo-
rates quietly and slowly as it rolls
about the plate. Now, suppose that
the drop on the plate is a volatile liq-
uid like sulphurous acid. 1t will evap-
crate, and this evaporation will pro-
duce cold. Let a drop of water fall
in the sulphurous acid drop, and it will
be frozen i'm spite of the heat. NJ. Bou-
tiguy thus froZe water on Il white hot
platinum capsule. Faraday carried
this remarkable experiment even fur
ther. Pouring some ether and sOlidi-
fed carbonic acid gas on a redhot plat
lnum capsule, he formed n spheroidal
mass which evaporated very slow
ly. He then brought some mercury
into contact with it, and this was in
stantly frozen. Now, mercury requires
a temperature of 40 degrees below zero
to soidfy it. and here it was frozen on
redhot platinum.
