THE GREAT COMMONER.

Mr.. Bryan has spoken four times in
Virginia this week. On Monday he
spoke twice i'll Lexington. In that an
cient and venerable town in 1895, or
even in 1900, Mr.. Bryan would have
met a frost, if he had gone there i'll the
middle of July. His visit on Monday
was an ovation. More than one thou
sand people filled the hall and he was
enthusiastically cheered. A Bryan
Club of $50 students, was formed, the
first of its kind in the country, and
much enthusiasm was displayed. 1t
may be said that students do not vote,
but boys usually voice the sentiments
of those members of their families who
do vote, and it is an encouraging sign
10 observe this warmth about a seat of
learning, which has heretofore been
noted for its GOODNESS toward Mr.. Bryan
and to the real democratic organization
and enthusiasm among those who are
about to cast their first vote A prom
inent gentleman from that town writes
us that Mr.. Bryan's speech did good
and his hopes are that Bryan delega-
ton will go from Lexington to the
State convention. Mr.. Bryan went
from there to Clifton Forge and spoke
TO a large audience, i'll which were
many men now idle, who had been bull
dosed by Mr.. M. 4. ingalls, in 1896 to
opposing him, on the statement, that if
Bryan were elected their jobs were
gone. From there he went to Rich
mond, where, on Wednesday night he
addressed one of the largest and most
enthusiastic audiences ever assembled
i'll Virginia. 1t is noticeable that the au-
dience lacked emphasis of the mighty of
Virginia, but those who form the bone
and sinew of the nation were there in
person and welding their lung power,
which no man can avoid doing when
listening to the Great Commoner. 1t
is pitable that in the midst of the en-
thuslasm Astounding in Virginia for
Mr. Bryan that certain clique are do
ing all they can TO send delegates op-
posed to him to Denver, and that these
same will do all they can to defeat his
nomination.

Mr.. Bryan makes several speeches
weekly, but the editor of one the big
dailies opposing him spouts like a
syphon bottle every day on articles
such as "Mr. Bryan talks too much, "
''Gift of Cab Nuisance" "ShaH and
Cant, miserable rot" all aimed di-
rectly Or indirectly at Mr.. Bryan.
There might be some consistency in
these diatribes. Why Mr.. Bryan can
not use his powers as often as they do
theirs is not apparent. But what is
apparent is that if their ''rot" is read
it is soon forgotten. If Mr.. Bryan's so
called ''rot" is read or heard it is re-
membered. This they would do well
to remember.

DANIEL VS.. BRYAN.

The Hon. John w. Daniel, by reason
Of his personal antagonism toward Mr..
Bryan, has come into some prominence
beyond the State, which, but for that,
he might not enjoy. A class of so called
Democrats is raking the country over
to find candidate with whom to OPP
pose Mr.. Bryan and have not, so far,
met with great success. Inasmuch as
Senator Daniel has for several years
been out spoken against Mr.. Bryan,
statesmen in different parts of the
country have seized upon his name in
their extremity. Mr.. Richardson Of
Alabama, would like to nominate him.
The corporation newspapers through
out the land have whispered in his ear,
or sung siren songs within his hearing.
We do not believe that any of these
have swelled the head of our distin-
guished Senator, or put the presidential
bee to buzzing strongly in his bonnet.
1t is our opinion that no power but the
hand Of death will deprive Mr.. Bryan
of the Democratic nomination, and just
why Senator Daniel should speak
words, now which must come back to
haunt him little later, we cannot tell.
If there ever was chance for united
Democracy to win, now is its OppOrtu-
nifty. 1t will never win if it should be
given cold dumping like johnson of
Minnesota, or even our own Senator.
Should Mr.. Bryan become president,
and we firmly believe he will, what
good can be accomplished by Senator
Daniels rancorous opposition? 1t will
be recalled that Senator Daniel was not
frequenter of the White House during
the Cleveland regime, So that much of
the good TO Virginia that might have
resulted from a, better understanding
between him and the then president,
may have been lost. Does Senator
Daniel desire to place Virginia in this
position a second time? 1t is true that
Senator Daniel must have had strong
reasons for avoiding Mr. Cleveland, but
there can scarcely be anything personal
against Mr.. Bryan, though the Sena-
tors actions carry with them evidences
of personal pique.

whether the banks caused the panic
Among other things, the Senator's reso-
luton charges the committee to ascer-
tain whether there is any way of pre-
venting the Treasury from being a

GERS. He does not approve of the cleo
ton of Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries
and ComptrOllers of the Currency to

To assert that human built tariff
wall is the salvation of our country, is
to say that man is wiser than God. 1t
is the same serpent whispering into the
ears of the nation that whispered into
the ear of Eve, and tells us to be wise.
If the tariff did not make rich those
who contribute to campaign funds and
exercise much power by reason of their
wealth, it would die natural death.
Who in Congress or the Nation looks
after labor? Not a soul. Old man
Sam Gompers and John Mitchell can
get no protection for their people unless
the capitalists who employ them will
it. Who ever heard of labor being pro-
tected except in party platforms and
campaign speeches. Where does pro-
lection protect labor now? With half
million unemployed laborers begging
for bread, and another half million of
foreign laborers just fled the country
like rats deserving sinking ship, where
is labor protected ? The Republican
party is wiser than God. We have been
told so, and it is clearly visible in pres
ent conditions.

BRYAN IN THE SOUTH.

Mr.. Bryan is very much gratitied to
know that "Democracy has been salts
factory to the rank and file of the DEM
Ocrats of the South as well as to the
rank and file of the Democrats Of the
NOrth,n but the rank and file OF the
Democracy i'll the South go with the
party right or wrong because of condi-
tons outside of the question of party
principles, as Mr.. Bryan himself very
well knows.
In South Carolina, for example. in
1900 MIR. Bryan received II, 236 votes, or
a majority of 1857 votes. In 1901
Judge Parker received in South Caro-
lima 50, 561 votes, or a Democratic ma
jority of $4,000. In Georgia Mr.. Bryan
received in 1896, his first race for Presi-
dent, 1921 votes, less than Mr.. Cteve-
land received in 1892.
In Georgia in 1892 Mr. Cleveland re-
ceived 1851 votes, or a plurality Of
l,056. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan received o.
232 votes, or plurality of 81, Ill.
So it would appear from the records
that the rank and file of the Democrats
of the South are moi by any means sat
isfied with Mr., Bryan, and the rank
and file of the Democrats of the North
have shown Mr.. Bryan very clearly
that they do not want him and will not
have him.-CharlestOn News and COu-
rier.
We hardly thought there was any
well edited journal in the South which
could under the most intense dislike of
Mr.. Bryan compare his vote in any
previous campaign with that of Judge
Parker. If the rank and file of the
South do not want Mr.. Bryan how
much did they want Judge Parker, and
how much did the rank and file of the
North banker after Judge Parker :?
Cite some returns from there if the facts
are what are desired, or what will tell
the real tale compare Parker's whole
vote with Bryan's.
Again. If Mr.. Cleveland received in
Georgia 129, 361 votes in 1892, how many
could he have received i'll 1896? We
will not speak for Georgia, but will for
Virginia. when we inform our distin-
guished contemporary that in 1896 in
the State convention held in this city
his name was Kissed. The Gold Bug
papers of the South breathe the same
venom as those North toward Mr..
Bryan. They do not seek Democratic
success they want a Bryan defeat. They
have not the nerve to go into the Re
publican party but prefer Republican
success and are seeking this mode of
bringing it about.
The Republicans in "Uncle Joe''
Cannon's district in Illinois, on Satur-
day sounded note of warning on the
tariff question. The district convention
was held at Danville, and the tariff
resolution adopted is understood TO
have the sanction of of Speaker Can
non. Instead of being "standpat'
resolution it declares, in substance, for
conservative revision, though it puts
the whole question up to the national
convention. Tariff revision is becoming
so necessary that the knowing Repub-
licans seeing that it must soon come, are
trimming their sails accordingly.
Governor Cummins, of Iowa, says he
believes if Secretary Taft cannot obtain
majority of the delegates the Presi-
dent will reconsider his determination
and be candidate. There are many
others who believe the same thing.

MR.. WILLIAMS MILITANT.

John Sharp Williams, the house min
GRITTY leader, has served notice on the
Republicans of that body that unless he
was Immediately assured that an en-
ployers' liability bill, bill for the
publicity of campaign contributions.
Dill putting wood pulp on the free list
ana an anti-inju junction bill would be
reported for passage in the near future,
he, with the assistance of his loyal fol-
lowers, would institute a determined
filibuster. Mr.. Williams said he would
not only refuse all unanimous consent.
out would demand the yeas and nays,
most tme-killing, tiresome process.
on every Affirmative legislative propo-
sltlon that came before the house. He
was tired, he said, of the tactics of ne
cation and delay of the Republicans on
these and other important measures.
and he intended to do all in his power
and III the power of the minority 10
force the Republicans into doing some
OF the things he enumerated.
AT last Mr.. Williams has been driv-
en- to battle. We trust it may be long
and bloody unless the Republicans
adopt some of these measures. More
1arlH legislation than putting pulp
wood on the free list should have been
demanded. The Pulp Companies are
so strong they will strangle that single
Item OF tariff reform, and little good
will result we fear. But they should
be made to adopt some of the other
measures. Mr.. Roosevelt has demand
ed some of them in his messages, but
they do not strike Republicans forcibly.

cut them off. Should it be known that

just as well be passed over that candi-
dat, as what would happen to him.
He would be fiatter than any founder.
You could never see him edgewise. We
hope. Mr.. Williams has the party in
Congress well enough in hand to carry
out his program, but he has a doubtful
quantity to deal with.
