possible store for future generations.
The alarming increase In the devasta.
tion OF number OF our natural re-

four years ago he is said to have kill
ed and robbed an aged man named
Biankenship, In Greenbriar county,
lie is said to have killed seven or
eight men at one time. He Is said IN
have fired on man just to try his
gun. He fled shortly after the muir
der of Blankenship and returned on
iy about three weeks ago. A posse
went after him and found him at
Alex Underwoed's house. The posse
ordered Underwood and his family
10 vacate the house, but Christian
threatened to shoot them if thew
opened the door. The posse then
opened fire on Christian, who had
taken refuge in the loft, and was trv-
ing to make loop hole for his gun.

MANY NOW
EXPECT BRYAN
TO WIN
Growing Feeling Among
the Leaders of Hope for
Democratic Success
Times Dispatch.

Washington, ID. c., March T.
/ Democrats have been out of power SC
long and have become so accustomed
To defeat that the vast majority OF
The party, perhaps, does not expect
Democrat To be elected TO the pre-
sidency this fall. The feeling of de-
spair and hopeleSsness is perfectly
natural.
But there are many evidences that
IL is not universal, and multiplying
evidences that the hope and eXpecta-
lion OF DemocCatic Pres dent being
elected this year is one which is
growing with most marked rapidity.
Some of the shrewdest forecasters in
the country, and they are TO be
found in Washington, express the
calm conviction that Democrat
VIII succeed Mr.. Roosevelt on the
4th OF next March. And there are
many who believe Mr.. Roosevelt
will not be in the least sorry, unless
Mr.Taft should be the defeated NOM
lnee. II Is not at all certain that
President RoosevelSt would prefer
seeing II man like Cannon or Fair
banks or Foraker elected over a
Democrat like Mr.. Bryan.
THIS a DEMOCRATIC YEAR.
But however that may be, there
are many politicians, cold blooded
propositions, whose partisanry does
not bias their judgment, who believe
this is TO be Democratic year, and
that Mr.. Brayn will be elected in
November. Much interest was created
In Washington by an editorial in the
New York Scum, OF the Sd instant. in
which the election of Mr.. Bryan was
predicted, provided Mr. Taft were the
candidate. The Sun alleged in this
editorial that no Republican candi-
date, not even Mr.. Roosevelt himself
could carry New York against any
Democratic candidate.
There are mighty and revolution
airy changes operating in the politi-
cal landscape. " says the Sun.
All opinions expressed by New
Workers in Washington confirm the
statement of the Sun that mighty
forces are at work TO overthrow the
existing order in that city and State.
A member of one of the best known
firms of cotton brokers in New York
City said to the writer this week
that If MIR. Roosevelt were the Re-
publican candidate and Mr.. Bryan
the Democratic this year, he would
gladly pull off his coat and do all i'm

VICTORY DEARLY BOUGHT

The liquor associations are now
claiming that tine recent election of
Bradley, the United States Senator.
instead of Beckham, was n decisive
victory for the "Wets," according TO
statements i'm many nCw-papers.
The election OF Beckham would have
meant the addition of Kentucky TO
the list of prohibition states, so, the
liquor men made an alliance with
the Republicans. and fixed" four
Democrats and the work was done.
1t is said that one of the boiling
Democrats is employed extensively
in the liquor business.
If all this be true, the victory
Will be dear one, and of short dura-

his power To elect Mr.. Bryan.
FROM AN OLD-LINE REPUB-
ITCAN


And l never voted anything but
the Republican ticket straight in my
life, added the broker. "There are
hundreds OF business men OF my in
innate acquaintance who agree with
me that Bryan can carry New York
over any other candidate. Were the
Denver convention To nominate an
Eastern Democrat like George Gray,
OF Delaware, it would be absolsutely
safe TO count upon the State OF New
! York giving him majority Of from
100, 600, up and entirely safe TO bet
that New jersey, Delaware and Con-
neticut would also go Democratic. Ii
Is impossible for one To exaggera te
scarcely the strong sentiment against
the present administration which is
10 be found in New York. | NAV saw
FOR myself that while / have known
Theodore Roosevelt since he was in
kits, l never intend voting for him
for any office again. The honest busi-
ness man of this country must be
given n chance. President Roosevelt
has thrown him into class with
thieves, the innocent with the guilty
and the result is that all of us are
seeing our businesses go TO the devil.
Bryan has awlays been careful TO
dlfierentiate between honest BUSH
ness men and the other kind. We
want as President while IA man
who will recognize the fact that
some of us try TO lead honest lives,
and conduct our business along
honorable lines. "
No class in this country studies
politics more closely than do the
Washington newspaper correspon-
dents. Politics is always in the con-
Versation when two OF them talk five
minutes. 1t must be confessed that
often the constancy of the diet grows
tlresome, but politics must ever be
the chief item of their bill of fare.
IT Is matter of everyday comment
among the correspondents that the
sentiment OF the press gallery is
crystallizing upon Bryan as the next
President of the United States, and
this without regard To whom the Re-
publicans may nominate
MIR. BRYAN'S CONFIDENCE.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Bryan is
absolutely confident that the Demo-
Gratis will sweep the country next
fall, electing the President and a |
majority of the House OF Representa-
tives. He has not always been so. !
Hereafter he has been hopeful. >"
Now me is as confident that the
Democrats will be victorious as that |
the election will be held on the Sd
day of November.
'Brayn thinks it is all over but !
The shouting" said Champ Clark |
the other day. "There is not a shad-
ow OF doubt in his mind that we
Will win everything in sight"
Champ Clark told the Republicans
OF the House in recent speech, that
every one OF them elected In 1906 by
as few as 1000 votes were "our
meat. :" that Democrats would be in
their places after the fourth of next |
March.
