Since the withdrawal of Gen'l R.
A. Ayers from the gubernatorial race
the Port haa had trot little to say in
regard to this issue, bat the time has
come when it feels, it a daty to say
something in this connection.
While Gea'l Avers was before the
people it was solid for Ayers and the
southwest; its favorite having with?
drawn, it is ?tili for the southwest
and solid for Hoa. J. H?ge Tyler.
Let the people of this end of the
state concentrate their entire forces
on Tyler and let unity of action be the
watchword of the day. This is our
only hope of success. The governor?
ship by reason off ?11 tight and justice
in due us, so let us stand by our
rights. We have friends in the
eastern end of the state who recog?
nize this fact and who are willing to
assist us in makifig the fight. In
Mr. Tyler we ?fter them not only a
worthy, competent and deserving
candidate, bat one they can consci?
entiously support from every con?
ceivable standpoint. Let the south?
west become thoroughly enthused and
not only ?tick to Tyler, but work for
and demand his nomination.

Gen'lR. A. A vans, in speaking of
the present stagnation of business,
said:
"I believe wo have at length touched
bottom. I can no better illustrate the
business situation of today than to
compare it with a great factory of
some kind, the machinery of wnich is
kept in motion by means of a long
endless belt or chain. The main ma?
chinery of the factory Uall right and
in perfect running order, but someth?
ing has gone wrong with the great
belt or chain. Perhaps it has become
entangled on one of the cogs of the
principal wheel that sets the mill in
motion; therefore the factory must
stand idle, and at a loss to its owners
and employees, till the trouble is lo?
cated and the chain released. So it
is with the present condition of affairs.
The country represents the great fac?
tory; the machinery if perfect; the raw
material is on hand in great abund?
ance to turn out every conceivable ar?
ticle known to the wants of man, but
something has gone wrong with the
main driving-chain, and until this
trouble is remedied all hands must
stand with their hand* in their pock?
ets. I believe the trouble has been
located, and 1 recognize it as the
Sherman silver bill. Next September
this trouble will be removed by Con?
gress, the great chain will be un?
hitched and then I look for the return
of prosperity as quickly as reverses
came upon U9."
^*s>
This is a great country, and a great
future awaits it. For some time we
have been passing through our "wint?
er of discontent," sad such a winter!
Its killing frostet and chilling winds
have nipped in the bad and for a sea?
son blighted the golden fruits of many
contemplated industries and enter?
prises, which, had they been favored
with the sunshine of prosperity, and
ordinary easy times, would today
have carried us far along the road
leading to the point we are ultimate?
ly destined to reach?one of the
greatest manufacturing sections of
country under the sun.
Though the fruit for a season has
been killed, still, the strong, healthy
tree is uninjured, and to soon ss the
balmy spring breezes of restored con?
fidence begin to come upon us the
fresh leaves and opening buds of new
life and better feelings will burst
forth and the merry birds of prosper?
ity will be singing on every bough.
Stich financial stringencies as we
have been going through for two
years or more cannot last always;
business will soon revive and we
will all look back at the deep waters
and high mountains over which we
have crossed only to smile at the fears
we entertained and to sympathize
with those who in years to come are
destined, by the natural course of
events, to travel the same unpleasant
road.

WASHsnoeei, Jane 36,1893.
Editor Pout:
Even as strong a trill at that possessed
by Mr. Cleveland, and fe* men have ex?
celled him In that retsset, must occasion -
ally bond before the command of a wo?
man. An old lady frees Virginia was up?
on her personal application to President
Grant many years ago appointed to a po?
sition in the War Department. She has
grown old and feeble bodily, although her
inleUcit ?s still bright, and the other day
I Secretary Lamout suggested to her, as
she was no longer ^c ' to nTorm even
the light dntieS-whlclHiacl boon imposed
upon her, thai? she shoalfea ?esijju andl
?? 1 Ma
spend the remainder of her life quiet?
ly. Instead of taking the hint she culled
oji Mr. Cleveland. After telling him
where she was employed the following
conversation took place: "Mr. President
I was appointed by my enemy,Gen; ('rant,
and now that my friend:} arc in power I
am to be discharged."'."I Gave nothing
to do with it madam; Mr. Liupoht is the
man for you to see." "Do you know Mr.
Lament?" she asked seriously. "Certain--;
ly?"- replied Mr. Cleveland, sur'ling in
spite of himself. "And also are you ac?
quainted with Senator DanielsV'- 4tI alsol
have that honor." "Well, theo, youmust I
see them and tell them what I . want. J :
am too old, Mr. Cleveland, to ask such fav?
ors of these young men, so you must at?
tend to it for me." But madam?" ''Nev?
er mind, you will do tbitv 1 know. Will
you not? And tell them not to increase
my duties. They are light; hut heavy
enough for a woman reared as I was. I
will depend upon you, may I not*.'" Mr.
Cleveland stared at her a moment as if he
hardly comprehended, 'and then said:
'?Oh, yes?certainly?of course you may;''
The will and audacity of the old lady tri?
umphed. Mr. Cleveland not only request,-j
cd Sec. Lamont not to disturb hor. but
also to see that her duties were made as
light as possible, and the old lady is loud
in her praise of him for doing it.
Secretary Morton isn't so certain as
President Cleveland and Secretary Car?
lisle appear to be that Congress will pro?
ceed at once to unconditionally repeal the
Sherman Silver law as soon as it meets.
In reply to a direct question asking his
opinion he said: "I do uot. know about
that. I am a little ffncertain ijs to just
how Congress will stand on thai question.
I am hopeful of the repeal of the Shcrmah
law and think it may be rcpeitlcd, though
there is an element of doul?!. i see no
objection to the repeal of the. :c :i per
cent, tax on state bank currene\ ;is a
compromise with those who want more
money in circulation, under oiie coudi
tion the absolutely free coinage of silver
and gold alike might be agree*! lo ;ih a
compromise. That condition i- that
both be deprived of their legal tender
quality and be placed upon their intrinsic
merits."
That the grand jury will thi- week find
indict ments for manslaughter against Col.
Ainsworth and the three other men who
were with him committed by the coroner's
jury for criminal negligence in connection
with the killing of those who losi their
lives by the falling of the floors in the old
theater building, is w.cll-nigh certain, but
their trials cannot take place until fall.
Col. Ainsworth and two other of (he in?
dicted men are government officials, and
neither of them have been suspended
from office. Sec. Lamont hits revoked
his order appointing a military court of
inquiry to look into Col. Ainsworth's
connection with the matter, and accord?
ing to semi-official information neither
the President nor the War Department
will take any further steps until (he con?
clusion of the civil trial. Public opinion
here is almost unanimous that these men
should at least have been suspended from
office pending their trial, but probably in
no place in the country is public opinion
quite so powerless as in Washington.
A delegation of French fanners sent to
the United States by the government of
France, to investigate our agricultural
methods,arc at present in Washington.
The inspector general of the French de?
partment of agriculture is at the head of
the delegation. Sec. Morton lias .been
very attentive to the visitors and has giv?
en them pointers that will aid them in
gathering information from their visit to
the World's Fair.
Quite a flutter was caused a lew days
ago in one of the up-town hotels in wjiich
politicians congregate by the offer of a
gentleman to wager one hundred dollars
that ho extra session of Congress would
be held in September. An e^Congres?
man took him up. He then offered to du?
plicate the wager and when t'iere was no
taker offered to include October; ? >ut l>y
that time his apparent confidence lud
staggered the crowd, which appeared to
think that he had some inside informa?
tion of a contemplated change of pro?
grame. Whether he really had *omc in?
formation or was merely cudeavoring to
create a sensation and was tolling pay
for it as a question. The latter is more
probable.

TALK WITH V"IM>CK" TAYi.O?:.
He I? Prepared to Die, Hut tropes Foe a
New Trial.
(L>TJcliburg%"NcwnO
The most noted prisoner now in tWcity
jail is Dr. M. B. Taylor, of Wise county,
who is under sentence, of death tor the
murder of the Mullins family a year or
so ago. The date set for his execution
has passed, however, owing to the issuing
of a writ of supewedem by the Supreme
Court of Appeals, to which tribunal his
council carried his case on an appeal for
a new trial. The case was argued in
Wytheville last week, but the court has
not yet rendered its decision. It will
probably be handed down on Thursday
next, which is the regular opinion day.
Taylor is very hopeful of .getting a new
trial, claiming that his appeal is based
upon excellent grounds.
He is a man of medium si/.e, thin and
rather stoop-shouldered. He is titty-six
years of age and looks his age,, being
quite bald on the crown of his head and
with touches of gray appearing- in the
reddish brown hair that covers the lower
part of his head on either side and Jbe
hind. A fringe of red whiskers of a
much deeper color than his hair extends
down either cheek and under the chin, his
upper lip being clean shaven, ile has a
good forehead and his countenance indi?
cates a degree of intelligence above the
average. He had been a practicing phy?
sician for a number of years before his
arrest, and it was - from his professional
title that he got his soubriquet of ? Doe'*
Taylor, bis patients aud friends calling
him 1>y that familiiu'abreViation
To a News reporter, who called ?t the
jail for the purpose of having a talk with
bins about his prospects in t))0 legal bat,:
tie that Is being made to save hint from
I the gallows, he asserted his innocence of
j the heinous crime with which he is ehurg
cd?the waylaying nndWfturdertiHe" of a
iamijyof five persona in cold blood, with
the ssfcistajaee of two other men who are
still li large. Sc attributes tho crime
laid at bis door to the malice of his ene?
mies in Wise and adjoining counties. lie.
was at one time a deputy United States
marshal and says that he made it hot and
uncomfortable for a gang of moonshinorp
who infested that region; and that 1m- has
been the object of their hatred ever since.
Tlictheory of the murder given by him
is .that they were committed by some of
this gang, who bad plotted before hand to
cast suspicion upon him and had carried
out their plans accordingly. He says
that a brother of Mullins who fell in the
massacre, was killed some time previous?
ly by some of the same people, be believes,
and that nobody was ever brought to jus?
tice for the crime.
Taylor talks quite calmly about his
probable fate. He is a constant reader
of the Bible, prays three times a day and
claims to have close communion with God
and His angels. He is a member of what
he calls the Church of the New Jerusalem,
the doctrines of which us be explains
them are a sort of medley of the tenets of
the Advcntists and the Spiritualists.
"I am folly prepared to die, if tho curt
decides againflt me," he said. "I aim to
keep myself, constantly prepared, All
men must die some time, and my death
upon the gallowa would only cut me out
of a few years of life anyway. And it is
probably as easy a death as a man can
die. I have thought about it a good deal,
and I don't think men who are hung suf?
fer much. It is a death that' i; looked
down on, I know, and considered a dis?
grace, but better men than i am have
died on the gallows. Christ himself died
an ignominious death, but I don't prefend
to compare myself to him."
"You say you have close com in union
with God and His holy angels: do you
really believe that yon have direct com?
munication with spirifs from the oilier
world?" asked the reporter.
' Certainly 1 do: I know that J have
communication with them and that they
comfort me. 1 have been regarded as a
singular man all my life?as a man \yiih
peculiar gifts. I have perceptions anfl
intuitions that give me a sort of insight
to future things, and 1 don't Trat- t lie fu?
ture. I can't explain myself so that you
would understand me, but, 1 rest secure in
mv religious belief and have no fear of
death."
Two young men, who are confined in
the same cell with Taylor, smiled in an
amused way when he declared that lie
had communication with the spirits.
They had doubtless heard him '?communi?
cating" on sundry occasions. If he did
commit the terrible crime of which he
was convicted, and the evidence, though
largely circumstantial, brought it very
close to him, there, is no doubt hut that
he is truly penitent and believes that he
has obtained forgiveness and absolution.
If he has to go to the gallows, the pre?
sumption isthat he will' go with a firm
step and without a tremor.
