Staunton, Virginia,
The Initial Speeches.

| We published last week brief speech deliver
ed by Gov r. B. Hayes, the Republican can
didate for President, in response to a warm
reception extended to him by his fellow citi-
zens OF both political parties, at Fremont, his
home IN Ohio We insert to-day the substance
of the remarks of Hon. W. A. Wheeler. the
candidate for Vice-President, on the Republic
can ticket made at his home in Malone, n Y,
on similar occasion, and surrounded by like
circumstances. We ask our readers to consid-
er the sentiments enunciated by these two dis
tinguished men, and then ask themselves the
question whether gentlemen moved by such
emotions as evidently controlled them, do not
OF themselves give guarantee of reform
and purity in government. They not only es-
| chewed all partizan feeling, but lncucated the
broadest charity for their opponents, and in
Voked the higher attributes OF our nature in
conducting the canvass upon which we are now
entering. There was nothing of bitterness.
nothing OF selfishness, nothing of that over
"eening egotlsm that absorbs all modesty and
proprlety-that partizan intolerance which,
recognizes no virtue in political opponents, but
broad catholicity of sentiment and feeling
which rises superior to the scheming selfish
ness OF che professional politician.
How was it with Gov. Tilden, in speech he
delivered on q like OCCASION? Through every
sentence couu be traced the schemine, plot
ting demagogue, weighing his utterances to
touch the popular pulse, and exhibiting the
harsh, calculating politician, seeking to prey
upon the instructive honesty of the people,
that selfish end might be accomplished. The
machine politician is stamped upon every sem
tence. The cool, designing, plotting ambition
OF heartless intriguer, measuring every ex-
preston in the interest of self and deception.
IS conveyed in every line. There is no warmth,
no heart glow, no generous sympathy for his
fellow man, such as swell out from the re-
marks Of his opponent.
We would be willing to 60 before the people
with these initial speeches, alone, and leave it
to them upon this presentation of the charac-
tiers OF the two men, to say which was the real
reformer, which the real patriot, which
appeals the more strongly to popular conf
dence and sympathy-the one giving warm
gushing of the heart-feelings-the other strain
ing his intellect to frame words to impress
with hollow and word-service reform
1t will require no argument, no metaphysi-
cal refining, to direct the popular impulse as
between such men. The trading politicians
will seek atiation with their like, and fol-
low Tilden. The impulsive honesty, the NOR
al manhood of the nation, will enroll under
the banner Of Hayes, and move to victory, for
in such result is bound up the peace Of the
country, if not the perpetuity of American in
stitutons.

BAD FOR SUNSET Cox-The witty demo-
cratic member. of Congress seems to have
hard time of it. He didn't want to 90 to
St. Louis, but Boss Kelly said "come, and he
went. His going cost him the speakership, as
sayler, of Ohio, was elected to that position
Immediately after Cox left Washington. He
was snubbed at st. Louis by the Chairman of
the Convention, and failed in all his points OF
order although he said he had been in Con-
oress fifteen years, and ought to know thing
or two. Worst of all, it is now stated that he
will lose the nomination, in his district, for
reelection. Misfortunes never come single
handed, it is said, but really this is piling it
upon Cox most too thick.

Col. Nicholas Smith, who married Miss Ida
Greeley, telegraphed Tilden from Chapaqua:-
ssThe Greeley household and all its friends are
for vou." This is important, and we presume
Mr.. Smith feels that he has been relieved of a
great load The country breathes freer, too.-
| If we remember right, the same household was
for Greeley in 1872.

The new Hotel, TIE SPooTswooD, under my pro
prietorshp is open and ready o receive visit
ors ana guests. The establishment has been reft-
ed from the cellar to the roof and is in complete or
temineaemp hatically new house, and it is de-
der bnt to make it stand as one of the very best
kept els i'll the State. The proprietor has had
very enlarged experience for Is years as hotel and
springs proprietor, having kept the old Columbian
hotel, and the new Spotswood Hotel at Richmond,
destroyed by fire in December 1S70,) and the Jof-
dan Aum Springs in Roekbridge. He is quite snre
he may claim, here in the Valley of Virginia, to be
able to keep hotel. He therefore invites the peo-
pie of Rockingham and the adjoining counties and
the travelling public generally to call at the SPOTS
the business of his life.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the Table the
Parors and the Chambers will always be found
agreeable.
The proprietor, in conclusion, is quite the
people of the Valley will cordially sustain this eff
fort to establish fiPst-class Hotel, such as the
Spo1tsWood shall be- in Harrisonburg,
My Omnibus will always be ready to convey pas
sengers to and from the Spotswood.

A WORD IN TINfE.-We suggest to our Dem
ocratic friends-for it is Democratic now, Con-
sentative no longer-to read both sides to the
issues of this Presidential contest-keep them
selves Informed, so as not to be carried away
by oartisan prejudice and feeling. The Rich
mond dailies, which, of the State papers, cir
culatc most extensively are all Democratic
The Baltimore papers, San and Gazette, which
are more generally read, are unscrupulouly
partizan. The Spectator and indicator are
both extremely one-sided, and will not give
you the information necessary to come to an
impartial conclusion. Read therefore, Repub-
lcan papers also, and weigh the arguments
and facts presented. The VIRGINIAN will. Of
course, advocate and defend its own side-will
furnish material for fair consideration of the
claims of the Republican candidates Other
Republican papers, the Baltimore american,
the New York Times, Washington Republican
and the Chronicle, Cincinnati Gazette, will be
read to limited extent. If the people will store
their minds with the facts presented on both
sides, they will be able to judge better of the
probable result OF the election, and noe de-
pend upon the zealots of either party for their
conclusions. We suggest this, to save our
Democratic friends from too great disap-
pointment, when the returns figure up an
overwhelming Republican majority. That is
going TO be the result, according to our ap-
prehension. So read both sides and learn that
there are few other people than those who run
the machine in Staunton.

A Democratic meeting was held at Bridge
ratify the nominations Of Tilden and Hen
bricks. A correspondent says that it was
"quite a fizzle. There are registered or the
poll books of this precinct over two hundred
and twenty-five voters There were present
at this meeting about thirty voters, some OF
whom are Republicans
If the people of Rockingham had known the
history of Mr.. Tilden there would not Lave
been thirty present. They are taking him
on trust now, but when the facts of his ring
connections are made public, they will hesitate
before they will go into another Tilden and
Hendricks meeting.

The Carriage Trade.

It 10 never pleasant to know that any Of
the trade of the celebrated carriage manu-
facturers of this place has been Withdrawn,
but at the same time 1t is pleasant to know
that it is because our workmen In this trade
are of such superior skill as to find employ
ment at manufacturing in places that for
merly contributed their patronage to VIII
mington. Norfolk, Virginia, at one time
purchased all of its finest carriages In this
city, but now it has mandatory of suf-
ficient capacity to turn out the
very best workmanship, and
this Is under the superintendence Of
Mr.. Reeves, formerly of the large carriage
building firm of Flaglor g. Co., Of this city.
From the valley of Virginia, Wilmington
at one time received considerable patronage
to its carriage factories, but now there 70 Q
large establishment of this kind in Harris
burg, located in that section, and under the
superintendence of Mr.. Todd, who was for
merly located In business In this city, at the
corner of Tenth and Tatnall streets.
Another carriage builder of this city, Mr..
Albert Flaglor, formerly Of the firm Of
Flagler & Co., has gone to the West to take
charge of large carriage building estab-
lishment.

ONE OF THEM EXPLAINS.

What tho Temperance Movement Really
Means-Hosv the. Candidates are to be
InterrOg0ted
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD AS
you are liberal In the use of your columns
to reformatory movements, and have hon
ored "the Temperance movement" with an
editorial and other notices in the HERALD,
will you allow us space to say few words
about temperance politics. You seem to
misunderetand the object Of those having
the matter in hand. 1t is not by them In
tended to be Republican temperance move
ment, but one of actual rRform, not 10 be
run in the interest Of either party, but to
promote actual reform. Over 22O0 men
(not women and children as our opponents
would have 1t, have signed what some have
been pleased to term the''1 Iron Glad Pledge"
These are men from both the old parties,
and others who have not been acting or
voting with either party, but stand ready to
vote q Temperance ticket; Independent voters
who have pledged their. SACRED honor
that they will sustain with their votes, men
and measures for the enactment of law to
punish the manufacture, sale and importa
Iion of intoxicating liquors as crime" As
neither party have presented candidate for
Congress that In any sease represents their
views, they have no alternative left but to
call Convention, irrespective of party or
sectarian proclivaties, to nominate such
candidate as they can conscientiously vote
for.
As to the Legislature, the Executive Com
mittee have addressed q letter to each OF
the candidates of both parties In this county,
with the following interrogatory: "We
respectfully request you to inform us at
your earliest convenience, whetherif elected
you will give your vote and influence for
prohibition or local option" If favora-
BILE response is given by part or all, a
ticket as far as possible will be made up
out of these. If they should all conclude
not to answer or give an unfavorable res
ponse, then an entire new ticket will pro-
baby be put in the field, irrespective of
former predictions.
So you see, Mr.. Editor, it is not the in
tention of those at the head of this move
ment to play into the hands of either of the
old parties, but vote their conscientious con-
yictions on what they deem to be the great
question of the day. As their movement
has become one of small magnitude, We
suggest that it would be well for those who
are now on the ticket, who are desirous of
a seat In the next Legislature of Delaware,
to at least give their pledge for local option,
which we believe will be entirely satisfactory
to the temperance party. Should they
respond afirmatively, this would probably
obviate the necessity of third ticket for
the Legislature. At least this is the opinion
of ONE OF THEM.
