bumG. n fine example Of ,he spirit, nen,
and intelligence with which The political contes,
in Alabama is conducted. we give some striking
passages from a late address delivered BY Mr..
RIitethouse of Greene, to county convention.
We egrct that the crowded columns Of our
county paper deny space for tho whole speech.
Il Is full of classical Illustration happily applied.
We have seldom known poetcaI temperament
and tGste so highly imbued with Classical reading,

lilics. We select the passages which yividIy and
most justly sketch the strong features in the char.

VlRolNn.--The whig gain in Virginia is over
four thousand roles since the last Presidential
canvass in 1886. SO says the Madsonau. --.ar-
gus.
Whu, the Madisonlan says is little to be relied
upon But suppose the statement TO bc correct,
the Locofocos still have majority Of some three
thousand in the State, MI Van Buren's major
I.v IN 1886, was nearly seven thousand, In 1910
il will be nearly or quite ten thousand. Hun.
dreds IN every section Of the State who support.
ed Judge White, will not vote for Clay or HauI-
son. Let tho Argus mark our prediction.
From tho information we get, Mr. Leake is
making many friends, aud many old democrats
will give him their support because they think he
has been VI used. d.--.4rgus.
A fine dish OF soft soap for "the independent
candidate" truly We positively have no, heard
Of the first democrat ha, will vote 70, Mr. I.eake.
We understand that there are some wings who
have proiessed willingness 10 support hm.-
Look out, therefore, neighbor, and be little eau.

ours.
