THE OBJECTIONABLE INTRUSION.

Under the head Eastern Virginia In
trusion' " the Richmond News Leader
of the 10th inst. made a very bitter and
unfair assault upon the Republicans of
the Ninth District. 1t hurls such choice
expressions as the following:
at is hard to imagine narrower or
meaner plan of campaign than that the
Republicans seem to have adopted in
the Ninth congressional district of this
State. The chief element of its appeal
is to prejudice or attempt to arouse pre-
JUDGE against Eastern Virginia. We
find in the Republican newspapers there
communications asserting that the East
ern Virginia people are much interested

No wonder Mr.. Bruce seems so re-
luctant to take the stump and tell the
people what he is for. 1t has been one
month or more since he was nominated
and up to the time of this writing hehas
made no public declarations of his prin-
ciples. We reckon he is afraid to let
the people know that he is a "stand pat"
free trader and that he stands by and
for the iniquitous suffrage laws of Vir-
ginia. Speak out Mr.. Bruce. The peo-
pie know who you are and what you are
for. You can't hide your real self be-
hind the glowing things the Democrats
have said about you.

in the election of Bruce, the Democrat
ic nominee, and appeals to the South
west to resent and resist the attempt Of
Eastern Virginia to rule it. "
Our Richmond contemporary followed
this paragraph with long and mislead-
ing TRADE against the Republicans of
the Southwest, because of their objec-
ton to certain ''intrusions" from East
ern Virginia. The News Leader is not
so dull mentally as to misunderstood the
intrusion" that is objected to by the
people of the Southwest. 1t is the Gin
trusion" of the unclean and damnable
political methods that were Matched out
in Eastern Virginia and that have, by
their use for the past twenty-five years,
brought so much shame upon the State.
1t is the intrusion" of political man
agement that is controlled by such men
as j. Taylor Ellyson and Joseph But
ton.
The application of these methods has
produced the manifestly unjust and dis
honest legislative apportionment of the
State, whereby one white man in many
Of the counties of Eastern Virginia is
made equal to five white men in the great
counties of Tazewell and Buchanan and
other great counties. of the Southwest.
Will the News Leader undertake to de-
fend this iniquity and assert that the
people of the Southwest have no right
to complain?
Then, the application of the dishonest
methods of the present Democratic
management of Virginia, with its head
quarters in Eastern Virginia, has not
only brought shame to the State, but
has outraged the most sacred rights of
the people. This management has made
tampering with ballot boxes and cleo
ton returns virtue rather than vice.
1t has caused several departments of
the State government to be tainted with
graft, and has applied the whitewash
brush in a vain effort to conceal the
crimes. 1t called into being the iniqui-
tous laws that have deprived more than
one hundred thousand honest white
men of the right to vote, and has placed
the election machinery in the hands of
its partisans. 1t made possible the
election of a nearly solid Democratic
Legislature last year and caused the
most disgraceful legislation against the
rights of the people.
This is the intrusion" to which the
Republicans of the Ninth District are
Directing, and no honest man, Demo
crat or Republican, will blame them for
making objection. The most serious
objection to Mr.. Bruce is that he has
allied himself with the party manage
ment that has done these things.

BRYAN AND THE RAILROADS.

Few things are more amusing than
the Topping and foundering various
Democratic newspapers and leaders
have been doing on the Bryan question.
First, when his return to the country
and his probable candidacy for the next
Democratic nomination for president
were announced, these supposed mould
ers of public opinion had a case of Bry-
an Mysteries. They insisted on nominat-
ing him two years in advance of the
meeting of the convention and there was
grand rush for the band wagon, every
body scrambling to get aboard Then
came his speech at Madison Square Gar
den with his declaration for government
ownership of transportation lines and
we had more Mysteries and renewed flip
flops, like those of newly beheaded
chickens, reputation of Bryan and dec
larations that he would not do at all af-
ter all.
In all this there is no sense. Too many
of our newspapers and alleged states
men are like the nautilus which HOSTS
its sail in tropic seas and veers with
every vagrant breeze. Apparently with
out rudders or purposes or destinations
of their own they go hither and thither
as they think public sentiment is tend
ing-and the results are ridiculous. 80
Richmond News Leader.
What more can be expected of par
ty that occupies all it's time hunting for
candidate or policy upon which it can
hope to win? Verify, the Democratic
party is like the nautilus which HOSTS
its sail in tropic seas and veers with
every vagrant breeze" 1t would not
be very inappropriate to call it the "va-
grant party" So far as principles and
candidates are concerned it has neither
settled habits nor an abiding faith. 1t
rapidly strolls about from man to man
and from principle to principle, with all
the instincts and habits of vagrant.
And this is the party that is trying to
fool the people into entrusting it with
control of the next National House of
Representatives. The vagrant may be
honest, we doubt it, but it is thorough
" incapable. What can the Democrats
do with the next House of Representa-
tives, if they should secure control of
that body? They could only obstruct
the splendid reform movements Of Pres
ident Roosevelt and prevent any pro-
gressive and valuable legislation by the
Republicans in Congress. Mr.. Roose-
Welt has requested the people to give
him another Republican House of Re-
representatives., and no true Republican
will fail to respond to that appeal. The
of the Ninth Congressional
District of Virginia will re-elect Colonel
Slemp in response to the Presidents re-
Iuest and because he stands for Repub-
