THERE is growing prejudice in Mary
land against having anything to DO with
the trial of Mrs. Wharton. During her

only Just got well under way, and a
brother of one of the jurors has been
drowned, and the Attorney Generals
mother-in-law has died.

Word TO Conservatives.

But two short weeks will intervene between
the date of this issue of our paper and the cleo
ton, the result of which will determine the veal
or woe Of this State.
Every Conservative should strive earnestly
and work theoretically from this time till sun
set Of election day to increase as much as pos
sibe the Conservative vote. Each should act
as though the result depended, as, in fact, may
be the case, upon his own individual exertion'
The duty which is now incumbent upon every
good citizen is TO do all he possibly can to Sc
cure the success Of the Conservative ticket
Conservative votes are now more valuable than
rubies. 1t should be the pleasure, as it GER
tainly is the duty, of every lover of Virginia te
labor for the increase Of Conservative votes NJ
Conservative should allow anything to prevent
him from voting on the day Of election, and be
should see that all his neighbors do likewise. -
Get out the voters!

A Word to be Needed.

= Voters of Stauntonl Have you changed
your residences and voting places since the last
election? If you have, you must secure your
transfers before the regular days of registration
close, for after that time you cannot do so, and
consequently forfeit your right to vote. La the
country or IN towns with population Of less
than 1000, transfers may be obtained up to the
day of election, but in towns having 1000 or
more inhabitants, voters are required to get
their certificates of transfer before or during the
regular registration days.
Heretofore many voters in town lost their
right to vote because they failed, either from
ignorance of the law or from culpable negligence,
to secure their certificates Of transfer before or
during the regular registration days.
In towns of 900 population there are three
days Of registration, whilst in the country there
is but one regular day, but voters can register
before that day arrives and on that day, but
not after, and that day is ten days before the
election. In this county next Friday, the Oath,
is tie day fixed by the registrars Be sure to
register on that day, and don't fail to get your
certificates of transfer if you have changed your
voting place.
REMEMBER THAT NEXT FRIDAY,
THE OATH, Is THE REGULAR REGIS.
TRATION DAY. SEE THAT YOUR
NEIGHBORS REGISTER.

To the Editors Stanton Spectator:
GENTLEMEN.--Las Tuesday, 10Th inst was
a great day at this time honored old watering
place, which is the county seat of the County of
Bath In pursuance of previous notice. u large
number of the county people attended here for
the purpose of listening to such distinguished
gentlemen from abroad might be present to
address them on the political and deeply absorb
ing condition Of the country. At the hour of |
clock, Judge j. NJ Seig. announced that he
would take recess until late in the afternoon
and left the bench, Whereupon the Hon. Jno T.
Harris. our present member of Congress, Hon
w. A. Anderson, the late State Senator from
this district, and Judge Alex B. Cochran, the
present State Senator from the Augusta district,
having been ascertained to be present Judge
addressed them for upwards of one hour, in q
very able and instructive speech every sentence
of which had telling effect upon and delighted
his audience.
Next came the Hon. w. A. Anderson, who
also made very able speech which was receiv-
ed with great applause throughout He analyz-
ed the claims of one RamsdaLe, who is the Re-
publican candidate, he says for Lieut. Governor
This part of his excellent speech. particularly
delighted his audience. When Mr.. Anderson
concluded, Judge Cochran who was stranger
to large majority of the audience, was intro
duced and before he had spoken ten minutes, it
was obvious to all who heard him, that he was a
man of extraordinary ability, and throughout
his speech, which occupied little more than one
hour. he held his audience spell bound, SO that a
pin might have been heard in falling, and when
he concluded, the audience retained their seats
for some minutes as though they were unwilling
to leave the Courthouse, where it was delivered.
His manner was fine. his language chaste, and
his arguments powerful and convincing
This, Mr.. Editor, is no ordinary man, and we
regret that his voice has not been heard through
out the length and breadth of the old Common
wealth His appeal to every man to go to the
polls on the 4th day of November next, moved
the hearts of many lukewarm voters, and good
result will be made manifest on that day. This
was glorious day for our old County and in
the name of our people, we thank these distin-
guished speakers for arousng us from our apathy.
The County of Bath will do her duty, and the
white population will be unit for the;Conserva-
tive ticket.
Our mutual friend, Col Jno L. Eubank,
has no opposition for the Senate His nomina
ton is received with great favor throughout the
district. Our late delegate, Paul Lightner. is
without opposition for reelection God grant
that Old Virginia will always be the Govern
ment of the white man, and that the result of the
election on the 4th day of November next NAV
be a terrible rebuke to those who are attempting
to make her otherwise is the prayer of MANY
thousands, besides the individual who signs this
