STRANGE BEDFELLOWS.

(Dr. Mcdaniel in The Virginian.)
We are in Il strange campaign and
some of its features would be anus
ing if the possibilities were not so
serious. In Richmond for example,
the appeal is made to the liquor
crowd to vote for Davis because he
was their friend. In the rural dis
tricts the appeal is made to the far
mers to vote for Davis because he
is their friend. Clowns in circuses
have ridden two horses at once, but
Mr. Davis is attempting mole diff
cult feat-riding two horses going in
different directions. What have the
Italian eX-saloonkeepers of Richmond
in common with the industrious far
mcrs of Virginia? Yet the hope of
MIR. Davis success is 10 combine
these two elements for his support.
We have often heard that politics
make stranpe bedfellows, but what
cartoon we should have if some
on drew the Italian liquor men of
Richmond, who declare eve stand
by Davis because he stood by u.s."
and the unsophisticated farmers who
have been hoodwinked to believe that
1t is to their interests to vote with
inc saloon men, walking arm in arm
under the Davis banner.
There is striking resemblance be-
tween the Davis organization in
Richmond and that of the usual anti
rohl6ltion organization. Very res
pectable gentlemen are put to tie
front as his supporters, to give his
campaign strength, and the men
whose wounded feelings would be
aappeIsed and ,revengeful spirit graft
| fled by Ills election tna nI1 -
ists-are kept out of public print
I1e farmers NAV be sure of this.
W., that old crowd is working assidu
ously for Davis.
The law of Virginia prohibits a
eandldate spending more than S1O,-
ooo In a campaign. If Mr.. Davis can
bring within this amount his travelling
expenses, advertisements, office rent,
other expenses he is the most sue
cessful financier who ever ran fo,.

PETER ]. SPRACHER

The following is taken from a
Nebraska paper, and will be of inter
est to Tazewcll people:
Peter j. Spracher was born in Bur-
kes Garden, Va, Dec. 30, 1849, and
died at his home in Cowles Saturday
morning, aged 6S years. 6 months
and days. He had ben in poor health
for a year past from u complication
of troubles, but bore his suffering
patiently. He will be greatly missed
by those who knew him best. He was
married on Dec. %, 1871 to Miss Eu-
genia Neal, and in the spring of 1873
they journeyed to the west to gain a
home. They were among the early
settlers here, takin~ :. L. c.cad east
of Cowlcs, whcie they lived until Il
few years ago, when they NOV I'd to
Cowles. He leaves the wife and two
sons, Sidney. of Cowlcs, and Lee, who
resides at the old home. Funeral SER
vices were held at the Christian church
Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev.
Ogden of Blue Hill. Interment was at
Maple Grove cemetery, four miles

A FINAL woRD-A WARNING.

On August 18th next Tuesday, the
Democrats Of the state vii register
their choice between three candidates
for Governor for next four years. The
taree cnddates, Hon. j. Taylor Ely
son, Lieutenant Governor, Hen. John
Garland Pollard, Attorney General
of the State, and Mr.. Westrnorcland
Davis. Two of these &c: tlcmcn, Mr..
Ellyson and Mr.. Pollard, have public
records, and are well known. Mr..
Davis has no public record and comes
before the people upon platform,
in which he makes various promises
of what he proposes if elected etc.
a candidates record rather than his
platform, is what counts.
Now, only one OF these men can be
nominated next Tuesday, of course.
The Clinch Valley News has sup
ported Mr.. Ellyson. and will vote for
his nomination. 1t has nothing against
Mr.. Pollard. 1t does not approve of
Mr.. Davis methods nor endorse his
record. Mr.. Ellyson has IN I'M
blemished record of thirty years as
a prominent Democratic official, who
has made good. For twenty five years
he led The Democratic party and
always to victory. lie served faith
fully through the Civil War like
thousands of others whom we delight
to honor.
He has mcrited and deserves the
honor which he seeks. Besides, he
has been lifelong officer in the
large denomination to which he be-
longs, and leader in the front ranks
Of religious activity. And, this is his
last chance. lie has declined to offer
FOR nomination for Governor more
than once, giving place in the interest
of party harmony. His time has come
is now-from every consideration,
Mr.. Pollard is a young man. So is Mr.
Davis. They can afford to wait. a few
years more of experience will only
increase their fitness for the high
position they now seek. Fo:' these
reasons, and the added reason, that
Mr.. Ellyson is emncntly qualified
to fill the position. This paper has
supported him, and its entire force
will vote for his nomination. And al
of you good Democrats are cordially
invited to do the same.

POLITICAL POT BOILING.

Richmond, Va, July 30-The po-
litical pot is beginning to boil in old
Virginia in spite of the war conditions
and the busy season with all classes
of the people. Both men and news
papers are breaking their long silence
and giving consideration to the four
contests for State officers, viz: Gov
ernor, Attorney General, Supcrinten-
dent of Public instruction and Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth. The
people will elect also the Commissioner
OF Agriculture, Lieutenant Governor
and Treasurer, but the gentlemen
seeking the three last named positions
are without opposition. AS an evidence
OF the changed conditions, it is no
longer difficult to get the average
man to express his choice for the
tour different State offices, and this
particularly true insofar as the
Governorship is concerned.
Inc campaign has reached that
stage when sensations. are the order
OF the day. They are coming thick
and fast and at least two of the can
dldates for Governor are called Oh to
no considerable explaining. Only a
day OF two ago Rev. David w Hep
burn, one of the field secretaries of
the Anti-Saloon League, who com
mitted himself to Attorney General
Pollard early in the contest, wrote a
letter to Mr.. Pollard asking To be re-
iicved of his promise. Mr.. Hepburn
1elleves more in a principle than he
oocs IN men, and fearing that di-
VISION of the prohibition vote might
lead to the nomination of Mr.. Davis.
MIR. Hepburn decided that it would he
pest for him and those who think ms
ne ne, does, to support Hon. j. TAYLOR
Eilyson, who is generally regarded
as the leading candidate of the three.
Mr.: Hepburn is known all over Vir-
gina e; and his recent change is likely

among the Pollard followers.

THE DRYs DESERVING POLLARD

Under the above caption The Roa-
noke Times concludes an able edito-
rial as follows:
Facing fact and not theory the
Anti-Saloon, League Justified the
high opinion we have always enter
tanned of it's political acumen and
astuteness by taking stock of the sit
uation with Il view to arriving at n
decision as to which Of the twain,
Ellyson and Pollard, was possessed
of the most strength and which, if
elected, would be most likely to con-
duct the gubernatorial office along
lines in accord with the views en-
tcrtained by the League. In both
cases the answer was Ellyson and
thd "drys" therefore have pitched
Pollard overheard and gone to work
earnestly to carry the day for the
Lieutenant Governor.
They have done a wise thing and
they have done the right thing. We
don't expect the Pollard people to
admit that this is so but sensible,
hard-headed citizens not blinded by
prejudice either way will not be in
clined to dispute the assertion. Ely
son and Pollard can't both be Cover
nor and from the standpoint of the
"drys" it is highly desirable that
one of them should be. Which is
the stronger? In other words, which
has the best chance of obtaining
the nomination? The answer is OBJ
viously Ellyson, for everybody but
Pollard's supporters admits that the
acknowledgements campaign has
"busted." His chances, never overly
bright, are dwindling steadily and
rapidly at rate that reminds one
of the diminution in volume of an
inflated balloon after pin has pen
etrated its exterior. There would
have been neither sense nor reason
in the Anti-Saloon League continu-
ing longer it's policy of neutrality as
between Ellyson and Pollard after
it had become painfully manifest
that the latter was hooelessly out of
| the running and dropping farther be-
hind all the time.
The only purpose that Mr.. Pollard
can serve by remaining in the race
is to enhance the chances of West
moreland Davis. 1t is very evident
that some of his own friends have
already come to this conclusion for
Mr.. Pollard in the Richmond Times
| Dispatch has asserted with rather
unnecessary emphasis and warmth
that he will not retire but is in the
fight to stick until the finish. In
elccting to do so he is entirely with
! in his rights. But said finish is ant
to be his own.
