THE CHESAPEAKE& OHIO RAIL-
ROAD LOTS

This paper never opposed the purchase
and gift of the lots for the G. Il o. shops.
1t was a wise movement made on the re-
presentation of the r. R. Co. that it would
bring a large force of mechanics to the city,
but was poted against by Mr.. Robert &.
Bickle, on Sept. 4th, 1872. according to the
Council record, and when the final Or
dinance was adopted, April 10th, 1873, he
again uoted against 1t. What we charged
and still charge is that the Council did not
see that in the gift to the company it was
provided that if the lots we're not used for
shops they should be returned to the city,
and thereby lost $500 of the city's money.
The. votes for the purchase were wise and
liberal, the failure to guard against the
diversion of the property from the use ill.,
tended, is what the people complain of.
The Messrs. LYNN signed petition for
the gift, as did most men anxious for the
prosperity Of the city. Mr.. BIcKLE did

Easy ENOUGHIF you WANT TO.

There are some persons who assert for
purpose that our Radical Mayor can't be
beaten: but there are also few apprehen-
sive Conservatives who assert 1t because
they are not familiar with the votes OF the
city and because the men with the purpose
are daily repeating it. Let us look at tne
recent votes in Staunton:
In 1870, when there was7an independent
ticket RIA for Council, and in which cleo
ton Mr.. BIcKLE, not being then Radl-
cal, might fairly count on his personal
influence, to get Conservative votes, he
was badly beaten. We give below the votes
by which he was defeated:
J. M. HARDY. ..... o9o
r, G. BlCKLE. .39O
BIcKLE defeated by. ............ .2O5
In 1873. in the KEMPER and HUGHES
vote. when the Radicals strained every
nerve to get out their strength, and when
the present Mayor himself was using all
the influence he could bring to bear, the
vote stood:
KEMPER. ........oo4
Conservative majority. ..-191
In the Congressional election in 1874
when HARRIS Dem and LEWIS (Rep.
were running, and no particular interest
was felt on either side, the vote stood:
HARRIS. .......... ."34'
LEWIS ''''. '''. '..''Ao
Democratic majority. .-....ll'
So the city of Staunton has not since thu
war been carried by an Independent O
Radical, when the party lines were drawn
| The Conservative party has about tto
hundred clear majority that can be brough
out to man, and even if you gave MI
BIcKLE so for his great personal infiu
ence," which we by no means admit, you
can still carry the city by an hundred votes

WELL Sammy of the Easement what
if A. Lynn and w. II. H. Lynn did sign a
petition to give the g. & o. r. R. the
Steam Mill and other lots ? They would
sign such petition to-day, on the condi-
ton that workshops were to be erected on
them, giving employment to from one to
eight hundred hands, thus adding to the
business wealth of the city, but not with
out that consideration. 1t is not the 55U-

A "DIRTY" CAMPAIGN.-The Radicals
have been trying to drive off gentlemen
from being candidates on the Conservative
Reform ticket by the statement that this
is to be made a dirty" campaign. If any
body makes it 1'dirty" it will be them, and
if they do they will get one shovel full that

OF men of equal responsibility in position.
equal interest in the welfare of the city,
and equal reputation for probity and wise
judgment can be found, who are freer from
even the suspicion of being engaged in po-
litics, much less Of forming part of a po-
litical ring, and, least Of all, of aiding any
combination to put inferior or untrust-
worthy men into the city government.
They represent merchants, mechanics, and
professional men; and not only that, but
are representative men Of those avoca-
tions. They represent every religious. de-
nomination in the city of Staunton-Luth
eran, Presbyterian, Catholic, Methodist.
Baptist and Episcopalian; and not only
that, but are prominent representatives in
their denominations. They represent the
active, as well as retired business men;
men in the activity of their prime, and
men who, from the calm retirement Of the
evening of life, with clear heads and un-
ruled tempers, are enabled to take calmer
and thoughtful view of the situation into
which the city is drifting. They are men
to whom any ring would be repugnant,
and to whom any movement to put infe-
rior men at the head Of the offices of the
city, would be disgusting. Are these men
to be charged with being in a ring because
they want Conservative of pure and spot
less record to occupy the position of Chief
Magistrate of the city2 Is Mr.. A. M.
SIMPSON a member of ring? Is MAJ.
J.W. NEWTON, the Temperance Reformer,
a leading merchant, who was never in po-
litics and has held aloof from them-is he
member of a ring! Does any one in his
senses suppose that GEORGE MoFFETT
COCHRAN or BENJAMIN CRAWFORD are
aiding a ring? Is Mr.. GEORGE P. BAKER
a ring man? or Mr.. P. b. SUBLETT? or
any of the rest of the prominent gentle
ment on the list who are quietly pursuing
the path of their daily duties in the CON-
munity, and who do not turn aside to mix
up in political rings? Do any of these men
belong to clique? If SO, let the office
holders charge it on them. and subject
themselves to the ridicule such a charge
would bring upon them. MOI the fact is
that aay gentleman, poor or rich. young or
old, who opposes the present city govern
ment or any part of it, is at once charged
with being a member of, allied with, or
under the influence of ring. It is a part
| of the ofice-holders' tactics.
AS for "that paper" as our vicious-tem-
pered friends call it, it neither owns ring
nor is owned by one. The present govern
ment themselves must admit that it is a
too unmanageable steed to be harnessed in
ring. 1t would be the most troublesome
property any ring could own, under It's
present conduct. With regard to city af-
fairs, it has spared neither friend nor foe
in calling attention to mismanagement
and it shall continue so to do, and no power
in Staunton OF out, friendly or.unfriendly
shall prevent. 1t shall in very truth be
guided by neither fear, favor nor affection
in the right, and shall shirk no accounta
bility for it's acts. The Conservative party
of Staunton may have no particular occa
sion to be proud of its advocate. but we
engage that it shall have no cause to be
ashamed of it.

THERE is no business man, no head of a

think of voting on ''personaF' grounds,
think calmly before taking such step.
