Ifthswhiesi DO notsss in the signs Of the
times, since ~ un1Ainous nonina1ion of|
Messrs. Polk Ind DALLAs BY the nation-
Il democratic convention, much calculated
to lessen their affected confidence in the
islectioh Of Mi. Clay, Asvfirt cab only Be
accounted for BY the conclusion that they
blindiy reject the evidence Of theif senses.
The democratic party, when united, never
has and never tan 81 defeated, and that It
viii rally, with the most unexampied un.
animity, in favor Of the Baltimore nominees,
at the next election, is just as certain as
that that election viii taks plshs: Trough
out the entire land--in the north, south;
east and west-the nominations have been
responded to and ratified BY such CALLERS
ings Of the people a. scaftely ever befors
took place. The old Jackson men, too are
coming back, with others who left our ranks
for the support Of Harrison in 1910: III
almost every paper we open we find some
new remuneration Of whiggery. A few Of
these we append, as showing the direction
in which the current Of public opinion Is
setting:
The Petersburg Va. } Republican, sends
the following 'sGEeetins'' to its brethren
Of the Republican Press.
tsMany Of you have announced impor--
tant accessions to the Republican ranks in
your respective neighborhoods; we have
the pride and pleasure Of adding to the list.
Richard Kidder Meade, Harrison Elec-
tor for the District III 1910, will not only
give his vote, but his sctive and jealous
support to James X. Polk and George M:
Dallas.
The Hon. Mr.. Gholson, Judge of the
Supreme Cotirt for this District, a. warm
friend Of Harrison in 1916, although from
his judicial station, taking no active part in
political contests, will give his vote for
James X. Polk and George NJ. Dallas.
There are others in this town, men oil
intelligence, education; talents, and high
standing lii the community, who were not
with us In 1916, but who are now deter
mined to advocate, with all their energies,
the doctrines and the candidates Of the Re-
publican party. They are known hefk,
but as they have not been in public life,
we forbear to name them.
i 1.-THE card Of Mr.. Meade. win be found
below, and speaks for ITSELF

"Nr. EDITOR: My position, Mr.. Editor,
results from the fact that still hold. On Ii
1.-THE old Republican creed in which ! was
reared, position in which you also would
have been placed, but for your opportune
conversation about the time the whig party
settled upon Mr.. Clay as their next candi-
date in the canvass Of 1874. l advocated
the election of Gen. Harrison, and in the
character ofan elector made several speeches
to the people, in which, (upon the author
lily Of letters and other publications, author
lied by Gen. Harrison,) assured all he
was opposed to United States Bank, and
a tariff for protection, or in other words
would preserve the compromise inviolate, J
both Of which were the abomination Of the
people of Virginia. There was not whie
who heard me that did not say s'amen' to
my declarations. These assurances, inside
by the active supporters of Gen. Harrison
Throughout this section Of the State, obtain.
ed fol- him large number Of votes. Gen.
H. unfortunately died before the policy d
| his administrator was fully developed
Mr.. Clay led the wh;y party in Congress,
and at once came out for Estional Bank
and a Tariff for protection, as the leading
features Of the wing party. 1t became ap-
parent that the State Rights Republicans,
who had been acting with the wings upon
the assurances, that these questions should
not be disturbed, must either change their
politics or change their men.
B. X. MEAD.
i HERE THEY coME.-The Philadelphia
spirit Of the Times says that several Of the
leading wings Of that city have abandoned
Mr.. Clay and come over in support Of
Polk and Dallas, from their knowledge
and admiration Of the latter. Mr.. Shars-
wood, for several years . distinguished
member Of the Legislature from that city
is about, we are told, to stake the stump
for the democratic nominees. Judge Todd
who was warm Harrison man, has come
over, SO has his son--so have number,
whose names we have forgotten.
| Judge ToDD, as above alluded to, ha'
for years past been regarded as one Of tn
ablest and most prominent wings in tn
State Of Pennsylvania, and under Ritner'
administration was Attorney General 9th,
State.
