Mortimer Kilgour addressed the citizens OF

fully sustained his reputation as champion OF
the STUMP, but he actually excelled himself.
He reviewed the history OF Virginia. from the
foundation Of the goVcrnmeur her action and
Influence h al the affairs Of the naIiUn; her
commanding position at the beginning of the
war; her reluctant severing of her rela-
tons with the Union; her position during the
war as State, With az organized State gov
ernment, in accord with, aud acknowledged by,
the powers at Washington; her ubceremo0luus
eectment from the Uulon at the close OF the
war; her humiliation uuder the reconstruction
acts of Congress; her unmurmurlug compliance
with every measure looking to restoration OF
her rights as a State; military government and
distranchisement; her final restoration through
the magnanimity of Gen. Grant by allowing
separate vote on the DISTINGUISHING clauses of
the Underwood Constitution, in direct OPP
position to the will of the Radical party of the
State, every man Of whom voted for retaining
those clauses He then contrasted the two par
ties; the Que identified with every interest Of
the State from her foundation; representing her
wealth aud intelligence; the other, the offspring
of the war, and represented by "scaawags
and "carpet-baggers" too often eager to
pouuce upon the fat carcass of the State; get
hold Of the Offices and fill themselves with
the greedy spoils. The whole ground was gone
over; not thing was left unsaid. He left no
place Tor Independent candidates to fud foot
hold, but showed plainly, and 10 words Of
burning eloquence, the duty Of Virginiaus, 10
this hour Of her trial, to stand by the nomi-
nees of the Conservative party. Could this
speech be printed aud put 10 the hands Of every
voter, it would be the greatest campaign docu-
ment We could have. Could r. w. Hughes

head in shame, if shame he has to have seen

by utilization with the party he represents, to

to keep the State worthy of her grand old
