TIE FLAG IIOISTED.

twill be seen hy the subjoined proceedings oil
amccting of the members of the Legislature, oppo-
scd TO tire Baltimore nominations, that We are no
lonccr houl head at least so far as Virginia Is
concerned that we lave flag under winch I"
rally ia the coming conflict for the Presidential
chair--and that lis olds IS inscribed the name
Of Iiuah L0uson Uhae. This nomination, we
confess, has taken us by surprisc-Ne are not,
indeed, surprised that Judge " bite las been Sc
lcc,d, for thai We antcipated-Lut that the nonlI-
nation should have been made at early period
the session, and Wien the people in various
counties, represented By Van Bur nnites in tie LIE
gi>laturc, were in the act Of appointing Delegates
to Convention, notice OF the intention 10 hold
which had already been extensively disseminated
among them. But We have no doubt there were
grave and sufficient reasons FOR tins apparent pre-
cptaon; and for one We are prepared 10 yield
! % their force, and 10 give to Judge White
humble support.
Il is amusing to witness the conyulsions into
which Judge Nhl,s domination has thrown the
Enquirer, the agony of Which IS bat poorly con-
,,alcd By ii, VEN Of alle ctcd tlcctousncss. That
paper rciierat"s its ordinary Lane that there is
" no harmony mong the Wigs, in the teeth OF
lie fact that they have unanimously nominated
Judge White VIII he good enough TO tell us
in what harmony consists il not in nnanimlty But
then, there we're =" only some 60 or 65 members
! out OF lC6' prcscnt-Wcll have not t5 members
OF one party as much right 10 nominate a Pr,.si-
dent as 100 oi another party 7 or, as a Baltimore
Convention which although numbering 600 mem
bcrS, did not, IN all probability represent as many
'""0 bde constituents, as the G1 members of the
Virginia Legislature WHO ait, nded he mec,;np IN
the Capitol The enquirer, too, is very much
cha@'lhrd that The nomination was made before
the delegates from counties not represented had
time 10 reach Richmond The Wings will doubt
less b" much obliged 10 their nflc champion and
they viii hno" III What manner to appreciate his
alice cd regard ior their rights. 1t was doubtless
| important II AT 4 nomination Should at once be
'''''dc-dnd is Ii Is very certain that tie choice
would have fallen upon Judge White, under any
| circumstances, II IS matter OF not the sliob,ps,
moment tI'ai II VAS announced ontEo ll,h of De-
o"mbcr 1885, instead Of the lob of February.

We are as'onishei that the Enquirer should re-
peat ITS stale remark, that the Wigs have taken
a >tced cut OF the Jackson stale" Why, then.
should the Enquirer be 80 hostile 10 his election ,
lti' has no quarrel with Judge Whites prineiDlrs,
why oppose the man 1t is simply because he i,
not the Office Hotders' can3ja4fe-It is because
he daros sometimes to think for himself. and re-
fuses to snIy MS conscience by doing the dirt,
""k OF party. And it is precisely q tin. reason
that the Wings Of Virginia have adopted him as
'he' candidate. 1t is, because. although they dc
not entirely concur with him in sentiment. they b,
ileNe hmto be nIlonost man-bcca,l they belicy,
ihath VIII introduce rtoirrt orm into the government
that nc willecoaomzr the public expenditures
as well as promise it--thai he will not WELD III,

private property, 10 be bestowed on his friends =,
rewards for their zeal his behalf and to be take,
from ms enemies for other reason than as 2
punishment Tor their opposition 10 his election. lr
one word they will Vote for Judge White, bccauS,
they believe him 10 he man of sound indgmen,
and unimpcachabc integrity, and because they
oc'Ic'e IT'S the only means by which they can
prevent the election of a man, who in addition +,
his own intrinsic disquaifca,ions, comes before tho
; people as the nominee Of Gen. Jachson-tl,c !.
