BALTIMORE. June 25.-The obvious thin.
about the hrst session of the Democratic Goa

The thing not SO obvious is the spirit N
which the fight was made.
Mr. Bryan. as We have heretofore indicated,
against the advice OF all his friends precipi-
iated the fight. Bryan-as all who know him
know--is first Of all a man who takes his
conscience az principle and then is unable
10 see virtue in any one whose conscience fails
to coincide with his own. With great effort
his fight today was fair. in that 1t merely In
yolyed the question Of Mr., Bryans opinion as
to who was progressive and who was con
servstiee
Beyond the somewhat startling admission
that he had supported Judge Parker while dia-
trusting the man there was no shade of bitter
ness IN what Bryan had to say. With all
frankness be appealed for the role Of dictator
of his party His party denied him. So far
Mr. Bryan has stood mute after the event.
There IS no suggestion around town OF bolt.
The Nebraskan, al whatever personal dscom-
fort. IS taking his medicine

gone glimmering.
~ indeed, 1t be corpse, certainly Richmond
has played no part in the obsequies
The fans were loyal to the last.
Local fnancers stood ready to support our
own team in the Independent league.
We were Just patting each other upon the
back over the fact that Richmond was in a
league with Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh,
Cleveland and one two other big towns.
We were Just in the height of enjoyment
over the advertising that the league gave to
Richmond
The games well patronized in this city.
~ the other cities in the league had as ably
supported the games as did Richmond, the
league today would he in existence and thriy-
ing.
We trust, II not This season, that next year
another big league may be started and become

As a farewell comment. We hope chat today
when testimonial game will be played for
the benefit of the members of the Richmond
team, there VIII be large and prosperous
attendance Of the loyal fans of the city.

campaign and headed him for the
cover OF the gunboats on the James.
The startling bit of news was that
"Stonewall' Jackson had suddenly
appeared on his right flank, That
was all. But that was enough; and
the brave army with the cautious
leader was headed away from the
point where II could plainly see the
very church steepies OF the Confeder-
ate capital.
When Jackson appeared on Nc

back to Lee from his famous Valley
Campaign, campaign that will
rank in brillianey along with Napo-
Icons first Italian campaign and that
earlier campaign which Marlborough
brought to a close at Blenheim.
After forced march OF hun
dred miles Jackson, on May Sth,
fell like lightning upon Mcdowell
and completely used him up. A few
days later, after march OF one hun
dred and twenty miles. he defeated
Banks at Front Royal, followed him
to Winchester, beat him there to the
verge of panic and drove him in dis
may across the Potomac.
