All was quiet at Danvilic yesterday.
The report that the Yankees had APP

erroneous. and the whole statement re-

premature.
There has been another vigorous and
vicious advance, not by the Northern

been advanced once. and now they havo

"Doing Something for the Ninth. =,


The Staunton Leader rightly desig-
mates the continued talk about do
ing something for the Ninth" in the
way OF patronage as "unadultcrated
gall and as "blithcring gibbcrish. +"
1t might havo conc further and de-
nounced II as sickcning Hypocrisy
for those who arc seeking some ono
on whom to vent their spleen because
the Ninth District did not got the
internal revenue collectorship know
why it did not got that Office, and
they know. also, why the Ninth Dis
trict did not get the marshalship
and the district attorncyship. They
are laying tho blame upon the wrong
men, and If they do not know 1t, they
do not know enough about Ninth Dis
trict affairs to write about them.
They know who had the appoint
mcnt OF tho United States marshal
for the Western revenue district, and
they know that the Fifth Congress
sionnl District secured II.
They know who was recommended
for district attorney. and they know
who recommended him. and they
know he Is from the Tenth District
They know, or should know, that
Bob Bruce, the most popular Demo
crat in the Ninth District, could have
been named for the collcctorship, if
the men who took" the marshalshiD
and tic district attorncyship from the
Ninth had been willing that he should
have it.
These arc the three big Offices
that have been distributed in the
West, and the Ninth District got
none OF them. Some OF those who
talk about doing something for the
Ninth" are trying to place the blame
on Congressman Glass. In the light
OF the facts stated above. the at
tempt is as ridiculous as ii is hypo-
critical If there is any blame 10
Nc placed anywhere, II must be placed
upon the men who are delaying ap-
pointmcnts to Dost-oflices in the
Ninth. who are preventing the con-
iirmation of AT least one appointed
