RlenNoSn. April ~. 1910
I presume tina, we hive just gwen, ~
Virginia, the last blow necessary to dis.
pose Of Mr.. Van Boren. "Pogs DO you
hear that?" the Wings Of the union will,
uuqncstonaby, cry Out, as they hear the
old Virginia thunder battering down all
the old Jackson and Van Buren, mplori
ties, and pealng away 10 a lightning like
flash OF victories. Mark tho increase Of
the popular Wing vote enough TO shake
out about all there is of old lacksonlsm
left in the State. Bot remember that
General IInrrison--lhe question being be-
tween him, aud native Vrginian, and
Mr.. Van Buren,, Of Aem lork--has a
strength high above, and far over that Of
the Wing ticket, which will be demonslra
ted in every county in the State. Old
Tip is on his own course here, and there
is no nag that can keep pace with him.
The Wings of this city, as they now re-
ceive the cheering returns, and, above all,
the significant sign of a complete popular
revolution in the State, are in the highest
spirits. They have already met, and set
about the organization of the State; and
on Saturday they organized The Tirprca-
noe Club No. l, in Richmond, with the
intention oil extending these clubs TO every
part Of the State. Among the gentlemen
present al this preliminary organizatlon,
happened to be Mr.. Brooks, the Editor of
the New York Express who being called
upon for some details respecting their or
ganization in New York, most irlicitcusly
extended his remarks into description OF
New York politics, and the New York
machinery of the New York regency |;
painting, most forcbly, tho necessity Of
now countcruciing, in Virginia, this ma
cbinery, which Mr.. Van Buren,, through
MIR. Richie, has introduced heLc and
in such way, and with such novelty OF
style and illustration, that the audience
present was quite enrapiurcd. Mr.. Brooks
was well known TO us as n writer oil innny
things humorous and grave, but he IS now
and hereafter will be, much better known
TO US as speaker; evan here in Rich.
mond, too, whore we think we have had
opportunities enough TO know what good
speaking is. The people pad him the
highest compliment young man could
be paid---a Simultaneous rising when he
closed his remarks an almost universal
introduction, and the hearty adoption Of
all his Suggestions and plans.
The organization and extension Of these
Tippecanoc clubs, upon popular principles
throughout Virginia, will certainly com
plete the revolution going on here. The
abusive personal attacks upon the militia
nv services Of General Harrison, will all
recoil upon the inventors TO plague them
fatally anon. His name is classical ~ old
Virginia. Ii is of good stuck, with good
blood IN it, ever ready, from the early set
Element OF the State, 10 be poured out like
water for the country. The Virginia son
Of signer of the Declaration Of Indepen
dence, has in his name and his family that
conservation which il is death for calumny
or falsehood to assail. But let calumny
and detraction do its worst. We know
we who raised the boy--wo who have
the bones OF his honorcd ancestry among
us-how to yindicate that name, and
fame and you may rely upon il, that, IN
Virginia, General Harrison has a strength
Of from three to six thousand over and
above that OF the most popular local Wing
aggregate tickets. Old Tip, repeat, is
at home here, on his own course, and you
can't beat him by any New York nag
any way you can fix it.
