THE MEMBERS or THE COUNCIL


1t has been industriously urged by some
of the ringers that the VINDIcAToR has
"arrayed the whole Council against the
party" Perhaps it has, though we should
think it strange indeed, that newspaper
articles could array Iuan against his party
convictions. But it is fact that there are
one-fourth of the Council that we have not
entered complaint against--Messrs
BLEDsoE, ECEoLs, FULTz and BURKE.
Nor have we heard any Conservative make
any objection to them. They didn't vote
for Radical Mayor, nor did they vote for
a Radical City Sergeant. 1t is against the
remaining members who did so vote. At
the time Mr. BICKLE Was voted into office
as Mayor, we characterized it as all Insult
to the intelligence Of the Conservative
people of this city. We believed it then,
we believe it nows and we will never con
sent to endorse that vote by voting tie men
who gave it, into Office again.
This paper does not control the party
organization, nor does the party organiza-
ton control it, but the opinions in its col
nmns are it's own, and, as we find at every
election, are those of q majority Of the Con-
4serratire people Of Stalnlton.

A RADICAL V1CTORYAND TO BE
BOASTED OVER.

The spectator of Tuesday, which
seems anxious to assure it's readers that
they may vote against the Conservative
ticket without aiding Radical victory,
quotes the following from the Basement
Organ" which is leading the opposition to
that ticket:
Whatever may be the result of the cleo.
ton, the Republican party, as such, Will
have no interest or encouragement in 1t.
And then the ''Spectator'' adds by way
Of comment:
The above extract from an editorial IN
the last issue of the "Valley virginia."
suit of our municipal election, "Whatever
may be the result Of the election as
triumph of the Republican party.
When the County Conservative ticket
for the legislature was before the people
the "Basem emit Organ" opposed it on the
same false ground that it is opposing the
Conservative ticket to-day: that it's edi-
tor viewed it merely as a politically diSin-
terested spectator, and tax-paying resident
of the country and similar stuff, but when
the regular ticket was declared defeated he
showed his true colors in the following:
From the "Valley Virginian," Nov. 4thl
We have no personal qualification to ex-
press at the election OF defeat of any one
of the candidates, but vieaUiag the matter
from q political standpoint, and considering
the important and controlling part enacted by
the REPu BLICANS, WE HAVE EVERY REA-
SON FOR CONGRATULATIONS.
There is no true Conservative in Staun-
ton who is weak enough to be deceived by
the pretence of an official Radical Or
gan, assisted by the suggestion of very
lukewarm and almost uniater ested Conser-
vative journal, that the defeat of the Con-
sentative ticket in the city of Staunton
will not be regarded by the Radical party
as affording them "any reason for con-
gratulation,' and by the Conservative
party of the State as calamity to be de-
plored. If the Conservative party Of Staun-
ton is defeated We have lost our place in
but one companion in our political degra-
dalton in the State-Lynchburg But that
unfortunate city has the proud remem-
brance in her misfortune, that it is no
fault in her white people. There the Con-
sentative party is without majority, as
we have in Staunton, but yet year after
year they band together to man to fight
it out to the last. Next week, as usual,
they will be holding their regular Primary
election. They are gradually, by persistent
fighting, getting to the end Of the Radical
tolls, while aUe have been folding our arms
and sinking into them. Our Mayor is
Radical; our Constable is a Radical; our
City Treasurer is an independent, and the
majority of our City Councilmen voted for
Radical Chief Magistrate.

THE PARTY ADVANTAGE OF IT

The Conservatives of Staunton are urged
week after week, by the Radical organ of
tie city not to view the m unicipal election
in a party light. We have shown else
where that that paper is III the habit of
talking that way before au election and
singing different tune after it. We sup
pose it is hardly any use to tell man who
knows anything atall Of politics, that the
position of a postmaster depends on his po-
litical influence, aad that is guaged by the
authorities by his success in the district in
which he is located. 1t is to the official
interest of this postmaster who edits the
Basement organ, that the Conservatives in
SiauntCr should be defeated. 1t is the
same with Maj. MCMAHON, MI. ROBERT
G.. BICKLE, and all the other prominent
Radical leaders. With success they can
command more esteem at Washington ard
the control of more Federal patro mage.
These gentlemen have their own as well as
a party Interest in carrying the Staunton
election, to which all other considerations
are of feather weight. Why do you sup
pose they will vote for Mr.. B1CKLE over
Capt. W. l.. BALTHIs? Is there any one
point between the two men in which Mr..
BEcKLE is superior? Would any Of these
Radicals fear that their property interests
would not be safe if such a man as WILL
LIAM l.. BALTHIs was at the head of the
city government ard the City Council was
in he hands Of the men who will be nomi-
mated to-day? Then why are the Radical
organ, and the Radical politicians bowling
for its defeat2 Isn't the matter too plain
to require explanation? Don't let lis hear
any more about it's not being a political
fight. 1t is that, and nothing else. The
G nservative defeat is the Radical victory,
and will be So registered in Washington
and everywhere else.

AN ELECTION LIE.

There was issued from the spectator
Office, Wednesday evening, hand-bill for
affecting the city election, in which the
author perpetrates deliberate lie. 1t is
well-known by all who heard Col. SKIN
NER's speech on Saturday, that he said:
II am unwilling that negroes shall rule
over me, directly or Indirectly" but with
studied inSalt to the mechanics of the city
the author substituted the word mechanics,
for the word negroes. 1t Was then eircu-
lated through the streets by the order and
at the expense Of JOHN B. Evans! This,
citizens of Staunton, is the sort of means,
and this is the sort Of man who uses them,
that are intended to carry the vote against
the Conservative ticket at the coming cleo
tian.

WE HAVE just been looking over the an
nouncements of Conservative candidates
for municipal Offices in one of the Rich
mGnd papers. What a contrast does it
present to the state Of affairs in our city!
There every man who calls himself a Con-
sentative is heart and soul in the cause:
submits himself, and s'his friends" submit
him, to the fair and unbiased decision of
his fellow Conservatives. The registra-
ton list shows that there is just about the
same proportion CT whites to blacks in that
city that exists here -oaly there ar. about
ten times as many of both S there are in
Staqpton yet eight or ten thousand
of our fellow Conservatives of Richm ond,
which has never had a Radical mayor
elected by the people, deem it emlnently
proper that the party should take charge
of the affairs of the city; but in Staunton.
d handful of wiseacres, alias owls and
''batS," deem it eminenty "inexpedient"
to draw party lines In our election, with
the fact staring them full in tbs face that
we have had Radical mayor put oyer us,
and he is now seeking by every means in
his power to perpetuate his reign, not be-
cause of the emoluments or the honor of
the office, but simply and solely because he
is Radical Is it possible with the noble
example of our metropolis before us, and
the experience OF our own town, that any
Conservative is 50 blind as not TO SEQ that
this ~ Mayor, backed by few others
who call themselves Conservatives, is the
handspring to all the disaffection in our
own ranks, and is it possible that any true
Conservative is going to lend his aid by
staying away from the primary Elec ton
to further this genteman's ends.

The editor OF the YINDICATon is IN error
in stating that the editor Of the "Speeta

went out of the right door with him." He
did not go out of either door till the meet
ing adjourned.-Spectator.
Tie editor of the spectator" is, we
think, correct, but to make it clearer, we
should say that when the vote was being
taken by leaving at the door. the editor OF
this paper, Who was at the Secretary's desk
with him, turned and said to him, Lets go
out at the right door," He replied, "Oh;
there are enough going, to carry it without
Us" but on our inviting him again hegot up
and picked up his hat, and, we thought,
had followed us. We were under the i'm
preston that he had followed, as his an
swer gave the further impression that he
was fully in accord with the majority of
the meeting. We regret having placed
him in wrong position.
