appears to be det-rmined iu bis op-1

able to turn Crum over to the new ad.

When Oum was nominated tor his

Democratic senators managed to de?
lay confirmation for the three yean
in spite of the fact that a majority J
in the United States Senat.- favored
the President's choice.
However, present indications point j
to the confirniati. n of Crum between!
now and March 4.

THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN AR
TICLE.
Tin- "common sense,'1 which the
?'Kteomcd Petersburg Index-Appeal
in ties its tariff eiitica to mix with
their argumenta, seems i<> be. by Its
more common name, the straight Re?
publican doctrine. Preternaturall)

differences letween the Index-Appeal -
line i f reasoning and that made famil?

ordinary eye bulks at the delicate
task.
Alone among ih'.-tc Virginia news
IMipers which have lately developed a
I strong protective sentlmeui iu I -hull
Inf home producers, the Index-Appeal
frankly discards the usual justltlca
jt.on that the verdict :it the polls bus
ma le this for the time, and for Demo
icrats und Republicans alike . an all

try in which its community is more
particularly interested o ir Petersburg

The sincerity ot the Petersburg paper
