For the House of Delegates:
JOHN W. TODD,
OF BEVERLY MANOR.
JOHN W. CHURCHMAN,
OF SOUTH RIVER.
Election: Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1899.
In behalf of all the people of this
city, The Spectator extend to the
general public a cordial invitation to
make Staunton their home next week.
Five negroes were shot down in Illi
nois a few days ago simply because
they accepted work where white men
had refused, and lo and behold the
South haters have been as dumb as
oysters.

The Hon. John W. Churchman pauses
to remark that he declined to bolt in
1896, all reports and charges to the
contrary notwithstanding. He remain
ed in the party, where ail good Demo
crats belonged then, now and for all
time.

The Massachusetts Democrats have
elected delegates to the next National
convention. In 1892 David B. Hill
had his New York delegates elected in
February, five months ahead of time,
and here now are the Bay State brethren
going him five better.
We are not sufficiently posted upon
local conditions in Kentucky to pass
an opinion upon the-contest between
Wm. Goebel and John Y. Brown for
the governorship. We know that Mr.
■ Goebel is the regular Democratic nom
inee and this is all that is necessary to
gain our support and best wishes.

Teddy Roosevelt, the governor of
New York, when Boss Piatt is absent,
made a political speech in Ohio last
Saturday in which he referred to the
Democrats as office seekers. In the
language of an exchange we ask:
"When did the people of the United
States ever hear from Roosevelt that
he was not in or trying to get office V"
Some fellow from below Richmond,
who was in that city a few days ago,
told a newspaperreporterthathe would
like to have the pleasure of voting for
Grover Cleveland for President next
year. We do not remember where this
man hailed from, but on a guess we
would say from Williamsburg. In that
town is an institution similar to the
one in this city on Greenville avenue.
Ex Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, has
parted company with the Hon. Wm. J.
Bryan, because the latter has agreed
to go to Kentucky and assist the Dem
ocrats in their fight in that State.
Now, those fellows who have based
their opposition to the Nebraskan on
the grounds of bis kindly feeling to
wards Altgeld can come back into the
paity and assist in the nomination and
election of Wm. J. to the presidency
in 1900.
Senator Wellington and Governor
Lowndes, both Republican office hold
ers in the State of Maryland, have had
a quarrel. Wellington is "agin" the re
election of Lowndes to the gubernato
rial chair and has publicly stated that
the Republicans cannot win at the
coming election and being the State
chairman Mr. Wellington ought to be
posted sufficient to make this state
ment. There is nothing strange, how
ever, about this Wellington Lowndes
trouble for it is an old game for Repub
licans to fall out when they See defeat
ahead and thus have sotne excuse for
after election explanations.

Why all this excitement over Dewey ?
What has he done that men should go
wild over his return from Manila? We
ask these questions in all seriousness
and pause for an answer. Out of the
late war we can point to but one naval
hero and that one is Admiral Schley.
At Manila, Dewey had an easy battle
which hundreds of men could have
won as quickly and with the same re
sult. He entered the harbor fully
prepared for any emergency and on
arriving there found Spain's weakest
war vessels, while Schley off Santiago
had to go up against the real thing.
Yet in the face of these facts Dewey
has been given all the praise and Sch
ley subjected to all kinds of persecu
tion. We beg of the people to stop for
a moment and ask themselves theques
tion, What has Dewey done ?
— » ♦-
In the list of Democratic nomina
tions for the Senate and House of Del
egates which we publish in this issue,
there are at least fifteen or twenty who
are at present holding office and who
will not resign their present positions
if elected to tbe General Assembly.
This refutes the charge that Virginia
has too many offices, or else we are
lacking iv office seekers. At any rate
it is a bad policy to continue one man
in two offices, especially as is the cus
tom in Virginia at present. In the ap
proaching session of the Legislature
there will be some fifteen or more mem
bers who are commonwealth attorneys
of tbe county or city in which they
live and in many instances the'-e men
name the countj judgis, which is not
altogether proper. We need a system I
whereby no man can hold two positions j j
of emolument at one and the same j j
time, and we call upon the next legis- j \
Jsture to adopt a law forbidding it, f
BRYAN OR DEWEY.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are a few people and a newspaper i
scattered here and there over the Uni
ted States who oppose the re nomina
tion next year of the Hon. Wm. J. (
Bryan, of Nebraska, as the next Dem
ocratic candidate for President, tbe
main fact remains that the Democratic
masses from the Lakes to the Gulf aud |
from the Atlantic to the Pacific are
for him first, last and all the time over
any other man now befoie the people, ■
or any who contemplate making their '
appearance between now and next I
spring.
A New York paper that recently <
Witnessed the rise and fall of the V*ti
Wych boom and whose wish in the '.
matter is to see Mr. Bryan defeated,
recently sent out a letter to the Demo- ;
cratic National Committeemen aud :
other prominent leaders of the Demo
cratic party, such as chairman of Statt ,
committees and the like, in which the
three following questions were ssked: •
1. Would not Dewey represent Dem
ocratic priciples ?
2. Would he not surely beat Mc-
Kinley ?
8. If Bryan's own State should de
feat his ticket this year, would he be as
likely to win as Dewey in 1900 'i
These questions one can see at a
glance, if he be not blind, were pro
pounded solely for the purpose of get
ting up a sentiment favorable to the
nomination of Admiral Dewey, think
ing perhaps that the latter's little Ma
nila incident would overshadow Mr.
Bryan's popularity and place him "in
the back ground. But just how well
the scheme worked we shall see.
The member of the National com
mittee n North Dakota made this re
ply: "Trusts, boodle and bribery
would be of no avail against Dewey.
As Presidential nominee of the Democ
racy he would sweep the American
continent. McKinley, nit."
From Vermont, Dewey's home State,
the answer says: "If Dewey is nomi.
nated for President by any party he
will be elected. I can not say whether
he would splendidly represent the Dem
ocratic platform until it is adopted. I
see no use trying to formulate a plat
form in 1899 to be acted on in 1900."
Congressman Otey, who is a mem
ber of the committee from Virginia,
made answer in two lines and express- \
ed our sentiments when to the first i
and second questions he gave an em
phatic "no," and to the third said
"yes" equally as strong.
From Oregon comes the following:
"Oregon Democrats are for Bryan for
President and believe he can be elected
in 1900, but should Dewey be nomi
nated on a Democratic platform he
will be.enthusiastically supported and
elected over McKinley or anyone else.
Oregon is for Bryan first, regardless
of the result in Nebraska or any other
state."
The Michigan member sent his re
ply that is most sensible. He says: "Ad
miral Dewey has distinguished him
self as a great navalofficer, butneith
er he nor any other man will be nomi
nated by a Democratic convention be
fore his views are known on political
issues. Colonel Bryan is the logical
candidate of the party, and I predict
his nomination by acclamation.
Mr. Shanklin, the committeeman
from Indiana, after stating that he is
not acquainted with Dewey's political
principles, but places him in the Re
publican party, says: "All Americans
admire Admiral Dewey, and, of course,
he could heat McKinley, but all Dem
ocrats are for Bryan for President,
and whether Nebraska goe* Democrat
ic or not in November, he will be nomi
nated.
John J. MeHatton, of , an
other member of tbe committee, has
this to say: "Dewey, if nomina'cd,
would represent Democratic principles
and beat McKinley. Any first-class
Democrat will beat McKinley but
Bryan will win by a larger majority
than any other Democrat. There is
nothing which will prevent his nomi
nation and election."
The California member in his reply
calls to mind a former error the Dem- ,
ocratic party made by mixing with a
Republican. He says: "Dewey would
defeat McKinley, if he is a Democrat; I
otherwise he would be defeated as j
Greely was. Bryan will be loyally sup- j
ported by all Democrats, no matter j
how the people of Nebraska vote this r
fall." j
In South Dakota the sentiment is 1
differp!"<- from that in North Dakota,
as is attested in the statement below of
the member of the committee in the 3
first named State : "If Dewey is a f
Democrat he should represent Demo- \
cratic principles. As to his beating 1
McKinley, I think it extremely doubt- J
ful. It will cut no figure whatever as
to how Bryan's State goes this fall.
Bryan is unquestionably the strongest
and ablest Democrat in America. If .
nominated he will be elected."
Robert J. Lowe, the State chairman
of Alabama, says: "If we cannot win
with Bryan in 1800 we cannot win at
all. Alabama favors the re-affirmation j
of the Chicago platform and the re- r
nomination of Bryan." ,'
There are others whose testimony is ,
the same as those given above, but
the preponderance of evidence as shown
in these statements should be sufficieut 1
to convice any man, that as a Demo :
cratic candidate, Dewey is strictly not
in it. We admit that there is plenty
of time for a change of sentiment, but
we regard it as impossible for any
Democrat to take Bryan's place in the
affections of the people, much less a 1
Republican such as Dewey admitted .
he was when he said, "Being from ,
Vermont I am naturally a Repub- i
lican."
OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. 1
We had our attention called recent- ,
ly to an editorial in Trie Washington .
Post entitled, "Two Lessons from ;
Georgia." Upon reading the remarks '
of the Post on the subject quoted we
found that it referred to *.he flourish
ing condition of a cotton mill, while I
a part was devoted to a discussion of i
Muscogee couuty. This couuty en
joys a tax rate of 94 cents on the $1,000, j
has cash in bank, has a new jail, new '
courthouse and a splendid system of | (
roads. Our people should give this! 4
rateof taxation in Muscogee serious | s
thought as it cannot be said that Geor-! '
gia can outstrip Virgiuia in this mat c
ler. Here we are paying §4 on the !
SI.COO and do not enjoy one-half tbe ''
happy privileges or our Muscogee'
friends. And what is true of Augusta 1
is true of every other Virginia county.!
rbere is a remedy to this evil and thß
ooner it is applied the better. w

officers are the same; James Mundy,
President; J. Z. Schultz, cashier; and

Predicted His Own Death.
A special from New York Sept. 23, <

of the Astrological Society of Ameri- <

many years ago and predicted that the
critical periods of his life were the ]
15th, 16th and 21st of the present
month and present year. His death, 1
he predicted, would occur on Septem
ber 22.
Dr. Broughton was born at 10 a. m. ,
April 20. 1828, ia Leeds, Yorkshire, |
England. He came from a family of (
astrologers and early began the study |
of astrology. In 1859 he settled in Phil- .

Dr. Broughton has made many sue- |
ceseful predictions. On his advice his ,
eldest son did not marry, as his father j
had predicted the exact time of his .
death in 1885. Mrs. Broughton also
died as predicted in 1891. He wrote
many pamphlets and one book on
astrology. (

week ago a gloom was cast over this
community by tho death of Mrs.

Strange Suicide of a former Staunton
Teacher.
A few days ago Prof. Wm. A. Frantz,
known educator, and once a
:eacher in Staunton, took his own life
it Oxford f'ollege, Ga., by stabbing
limself m the arms, throat and lungs
,vith his pocket-knife. Mr. Frantz
aught iv Capt. Hoover's Military
School about 18S2-3, having for bis pu
lils some now well knovvu young bus
ness men of Staunton, among whom
ire Messrs. Wayt King, A. S. Morton,
Hoshour, John Frazier and
>thers. He was himself a pupil of

ourt county, where both of them rtsid
id, and was a bright scholar and prom
sing youth. He has for many years
>een teaching in Fayetteville, Mis
iouri, standing high in his profe sion.
