THE REPUBLICANS IN CONVENTION.

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention of the 10 h district, according
to Col. James A. Frazier, 1.-The con-
yention of office holders of the lOtn
district met in StauntOn on Satur-
day last, and nominated Mr.. Emmett
ID. Gregory for Congress. Of course
the holding of the convention was
simply an empty form. The candidate
has no more show for election than
native of the Fegee Islands, but there
are certain things that must be done
in order that all of these officeholders
may retain their jobs. They must
display zeal. exert energy, make
showing, and then boast and brag to
beat thunder. All this they are doing
and will do. A salary, some soup, or
some pie, or whatever name may be
given it, is a great lung expander. 1t
takes soreness out of Threats harsh
and dry, 1t puts energy and life into
dry bones and enfeebled forms. One
drawing his regular pay can Jump and
cavort and yell at less, than any other
known lndividal. A dry joke, chest
nut, old, wOrmy and decayed, when
handed out to crowd of office holders
by party boss, is snapped up chewed
and enjoyed, according to outward
and visible signs, as sweet mOrsel.
The most common place harangue by
those who hand out pie, is magnified by
persons of the salaried class into an
Grafton worthy of Demosthenes or
Cicero. Thus it was last Saturday
save and except when Col. James A.
Frazier raised his tuneful voice and
sought to get the ear of the chairman
and the sympathy of the audience.
Then instead of shouting there was
kissing, and bowling down of this
ardent Republican and vehement
speaker. His cousin, Col. 8. b. Allen,
once so near and dear, once SO like
Damon was toward Pythias, was cold
and deaf; they have parted company,
and Col. Allen being in, and Col. Fra
Zier out, there was none of that sweet
concOurse between them rs of old. and
the Republican party in the 10th dis
trict is split. tbs a pity that in SO
small body there should be discord.
Were they united they would still be
powerless, but enthusiasm is not dom
inant where leaders like Hon. Jacob
Yost, and staunch supporters as many
we know in Augusta, did not go much
as grace the convention with their
presence, and where the cOlOred con-
tingent was as scarce as huckelberries
at Christmas. One would hardly have
believed the body was Republican.
Tue colored minister was not there.
the outside fringe of the body was not
dark, and noisy, and odoriferOus as in
days when Gen. VIM. Malone, and
Col, Frazier, and Col. Allen used to be
gin their Orations with my fellow Cit
izens," with the accent heavy On the
syllable low.
But Col. Frazier whilst down is not
out, he says. and in due time will max
himself seen, felt and heard, feat he
signally failed to perform to his salts
faction on last Saturday.

RAILROAD TREATMENT Of MR.. BRYAN

The narrowest escape from total 10
of power the Republican party ever
had was in 1896 Cleveland g admins
trations we're as Republican as the
most Republican, SO we will not count
them. But the Republican party had
a MAJ row escape il 1896 He'd it fallen
'hen it might have fallen like Lucifer
never to rise again. IL really lost, but
recovered the fort by most daring
enthusiastically crime, it took away from
Mr.. Bryan his clearly earned victory.
In accomplishing that end nothing
was more potential than the railways
Every one in the United States with
out a single exception, arraJed every
power it possessed against him. From
Virginia. West Virginia and Maryland
men we're carried to Canton, Ohio. for
absolutely nothing, or so small a con-
sidera tiOn as amounted to nothing.
and so we believe they were from many
other States. They were poured into
that town, at railroad expense. that
they might hear MIR. Mckinley speak,
that they might see him on his front
porch, that they might touch the hem
of his garment. Mr.. Mckinley and
those who went about over the coun-
try talking, bowling or whispering
for him, were carried here, there and
everywhere ON free passes. Come to
our own community. Here the rail-
ways were practically his. Mr.. Ingalls,
the president then of the &. u D went
up and down his line urging. In fact
threatening the men under him with
loss of position should they refuse to
vote as he voted. Free trains were
provided to hear Mr.. ingalls, and other
orators for the Republican ticket. 1t
was openly charged, and never yet has
been denied, that Mr.. Ingalls, of the
funds of the G. Il o. Ry. caused over
So, 900 to be put into a newspaper office
in this town, professedly Democratic,
to influence sentiment in favor of Mr..
Mckinley. In other words the Repub
Iican party had every railway in the
United States at it's back working day,
night, Sunday and every other day,
for the perpetuation of that party.
If Mr.. Mckinley had them all, of
course it goes without saying that MIR.
Bryan had none. But worse than this.
When Mr.. Bryan wanted ipecial
train his money was not good. He
could not hire hand car. Trains to
carry people to bear him were deliber-
ately side tracked or blocked, his meet
ings were lessensd or broken up. When
Mr.. Bryan spoke near a great college
town in the north on one OCCASION,
free trains were run to carry students
to the meeting who should break it up
with cat calls and indecent behavior.
In a western town where he was to
speak special free trains were run to
carry opponents SO that they could
break up his meeting, and on that &C.
casion a bowling mob got about him
and one fellow spat in his face. But
he simply wiped it off. smiling as he
did SO. In the second Mckinley cam
paign the same conditions prevailed,
but not in so pronounced a manner.
Yet we'll do we remember when Mr..
Bryan could get no special trains, free
specials we're accorded Mckinley and
Roosevelt wherever and whenever
they wanted them.

FAvoRS POSTAL TELEGRAPH
Michigan Member of Congress,
Samuel Smith, a Warm Advo-
cate of Such a System
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The idea of
a postal telegraph has a warm advocate
in Samuel W. Smith, a member of con-
gress from Michigan, who in carefully
prepared speech today in the house in
sisted that if the government would
undertake such a system the deficit in
the postal department. would be almost
wiped out.
I'VE should" he said, "have first
class postal telegraph in the United
States in connection with our splendid
postal facilities and the rates can be
reduced at least one-half, leaving a
sufficient amount to dispose of the de-
ficit and have money left to extend the
rural service to practically every home
and pay the city and rural carriers a
compensation fitting their services and
expenses"
Wherever the postal telegraph has
been adopted according to Mr.. Smith,
it has at once been followed by re-
duction in price and by an increase in
the number and kinds of messages.
Mr.. Smith Is authority for the state
ment that the Western Union octopus
in one year declared dividends which
reached the astonishing figures of Ala
per cent.

COLOR LINE SHARPLY DRAWN
Presbyterian Ministers Fail to Agree
When Race Question Enters
Assembly
BY Associated l'ress.


DES MOINES. Iowa, May 26.-The
color line was sharply drawn and the
negro question came squarely to the
surface in the Presbyterian general as
sembly here fo- the first time today.
The committee on church polity sub
mitted a report recommending the
erection of a synod in Alabama to in
clude the presbyteries of Birmingham,
Levere and Rogersville, to be known as
the synod of Chattanooga.
The presbyteries are now included in
the synod of Tennessee. The other
presbyteries in the synod are French
Broad, Holstein. Kingston and Union.
The presbyteries of Birmingham,
Levere and Rogersville are composed OF
negro churches. The others are white
churches. The purpose of the commit
tee was to divide the races. No sooner
had the report been submitted than
Russell Taylor, a negro minister of
Levere, and one of the commissioners
to the assembly from that presbytery,
took the floor.
He violently opposed the proposed
synod on the grounds that the three
presbyteries specified were not numeric-
ally strong enough or we'll enough
versed in church law to assume the
functions and duty of a synod.
After spirited debate, in which the
colored commissioner received the ma
jority of the applause, it was unani-
mously voted to refer the whole subject
to the assembly of 1907.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.--At the
end Of memorable seven-hour ses-
sion the lower house Of parliament
today Indignantly rejected the govern
ment's policy as presented by Premier
Goremykin. and with only seven dis
sentient voices voted lack of conf
dence in the ministry.
This practically throws down the
gauntlet to tie bureaucracy, with a re-
tirement of the present cabinet and
it's succession by a ministry approved
by a majority in the house.
The spirit of revolution is in the
air and conflict between the crown
and the nation appears inevitable.
While the house avoided the appear
ance Of delegating an ultimaturn, the
government seems to have no alterna-
tive between surrender and war.
The gloomiest forebodings are heard
everywhere tonight and the general inn
preston is that the country is on the
verge of gigantic struggle which
may be delayed but not averted.
Expect Struggle Monday
Dispatches from the interior indicate
that the struggle may be inaugurated

people learn that all amnesty has been
