court the thing even and the cslcg-

We have no fear that the woe-
tern end Of the district Will delibe~
rs.eIy cut itself adrift from the cast
by supporting Mc&ullin. To do
so would be to trifie with danger
and to destroy our organization
We have no fear that the sober
thinking conservative class will
commit such folly as to disembowel
itself in front of an enemy which,
whenever il can get the power,
will turn Virginia over to the an
clean birds which have made a FL
thy roost of South Carolina and
Louisiana.
The personal worth Of Gen.
Terry is above assault and his val
ue as member of Congress is too
well known to justify the mad ex-
pertinent of voting for an indepen-
dent candidate. Our party
strength in Virginia depends upon
our party discipline, and the South
west and the Valley are all that
saved the State from destruction.
We must keep this stronghold of
our 9th district above the reach of
the enemy, and to do so We must
vote for Terry, if for no other rea>
SOB, because he is our nominee.
