Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1876-05-26


From the Harrlsonburg commonwealth"
The Radicals of Staunton, who are in the
minority, assisted by few Conservatives,
are endeavofing to prevent the drawing of
party lines i'll the approaching municipal
election We can readily understand why
the Radicals should oppose it, for they
would be left otp in the disposition OF Of
fees, but why any Conservative voter should
oppose such proceeding it is difficult for us
to discern.
Every Conservative believes that no
greater calamity could befall Virginia than
tie succession of Republicans to power.
To prevent this they have banded together
and act unitedly to defeat such an event.
Why should it not be so in Staunton? Is
there any reason why Staunton SHOULD ex-
peet better treatment at the hands Of the
Radical party than would the State? We
think not.
Staunton raises and disburses annually
upwards of $5S, 900, and as the city is rapid
ly growing the revenue must necessarily
increase. If, as has heretofore been claim.
ed, the virtue and honor of Virginia lies
with the Conservative party. and that
.Radicalism is synonymous with all that is
corrupt and dishonest, do the Conserva-
tives wish to ruin their city. OF have they
changed their views Of the Radical partyY
The Had1oal p1rtY of EtauntOn is part and
parcel of the State Radical organization,
which was recently presided over by q me-
gro, and which selected several negroes,
one Of whom, we learn, was once whipped
for theft, to represent the State in the
National Republican Convention. It is
part OF the same party which voted forand

though the Office seeking small fry

evidence Of tho feeling existing IN the

looked upon in the Eastern States as
the leading Republican journal OF the
Pacific Coast, still mourns the defeat OF
Blaine, and refuses TO be comforted.

feeling which pereades the party since
The Cincinnati Convention. Blaine
was its acknowledged head, and his de-
feat insures that of the party. The
Record. Union thinks that Blaine s re-
covery may avert the calamity, and ad
vises those who were instrumental III

die from the effects of their betrayal
the prospects of the Republican ticket
is not worth cent, no matter who the

The question of property in letters,
raised by Blaine, is discussed by the
Albany Law Journal. which decides
that the writer has legal right to pre-.
vent the receiver from publishing a
letter, or making any other use of it
not within his implied privilege as a
receiver. This right" says the
journal, g is not based on considera
tions of policy or social ethics, but is
purely one of property existing at COM
inon law. There are doubtless circum-
stances in which the wrongful public
alton of letter by the receiver would
be restrained by equity as breach of
implied confidence. But where the
right has been recognised, it has been
on.the sole ground of property" This
does not cover the Blaine ease, for
Mulligan was subpenaed as q witness

though it is twenty-five miles by rail.
Standing at Caliente one sees three

the train passes the place on one side
it passes again in the opposite direction
on the other; then after going over.
through and under multitude of tim

an hour the train again heaves in
