programme. From mere force of hab-
it they kept it up to such an extent
that they embarrassed the Governor.
AT its close he implOred the people to
weigh well the claims of himself
and Col. Richmond and to cast their
votes for either one or the other of
them, but In Gods name not to ''vote
for'' that man Campbell.
Newberry attempted to reply, but
the Hhurrahs for MCMullin were dea-
fleming: He folded bis arms and wait

laced crowds before and be would not

vowed he would speak fifteen minutes

'Just as We expected. Bro Fow,
Ter is a hard money man.
At Wytheville he wrote the Isl
plank in the platform as follows:
The greenback dollar must be a
full legal tender for the payment Of
ali debts, public and private and by
the government issueed protected and
received as absolute money. "-Ab-
iagdon Virginian
Now we have to say that Bro.
Fowler did NOT write this resOlu-
ton at Wytheville nor any other
place. The first five of those reso-
tions were clipped from the Rich
mond WHIq, and were attached to
the remainder of the platform
touching the public debt, which
latter portion (including the pre-
amble), was written by Mr.. Fow-
Ter. The first five resolutions, Mr..
Fowler objected to at the time,
and at least one Of Bro. Wards
leaders at Marion has since object
ed to them. Nevertheless, we are
not sure there can be any great
objection to this resolution No. l.
The greenback SHOULD be RECEIVED
as absolute money. But it cannot
BE absolute money without the
fallacy of Fiat money, which is the
folly and lunacy of the day. 1t
should be a greenback, and must
be at some time redeemable by the
Government. The VIRGINIAN as
serts that gold and silver are Fiat
money. In one sense they are
They are made SO by the Fiat (com-
mand or decree) of the world
Bro. Ward, you can't get the
WORLD to issue its Fiat that paper
shall be coin. or absolute money.
Paper is promise to pay money. /
1t is not money at all, and cannot |
be. If Governments can by their
fat, make absolute money of paper,
why should we trouble ourselves to
Zig for gold and silver =? Why
should any Government owe any
lebt at all! England, according
o your view, is an "absolute"
lincompoop, for carrying her debt,
she could make paper coin, or
PAPER money and pay it off.

Bro. WARD says he does not expose
Campbell's record because he is not
familiar with it. Then why does he
assert that we know enough of it to
prevent his getting twenty votes in the
district, if we would simply tell the
half we know? Again we deny that
we know anything against him, save
that he is a Republican, and voted for
Grant, and Hayes, and Hughes, and
Egbert. If Bro. Ward knows more
let him tell it.

Bro. Fowler did nothing of the
kind. Esq. Campbell produced it
himself and had it published in the

charge made against him by some of
McMullin and Newberry's friends in
Montgomery county.

EVENT and COMMENT.

The Scientific American, which is
very high authority declares there is
no probability OF destroying the value
of gas by Edison new electric light.
Not that the discovery claimed by
Edison is not all that is claimed for it.
BY recent improvements in gas max
ing ii has become possible to supply
this most perfect fuel at rates which
most rapidly do away with all other
fuels for most domestic and other DUR
poses. In other words the moment
gas is not needed for light it must be
come fuel.

We are often asked what killed
Newberry. Our opinion is, it was
the fatal mistake he made about that
suit of grizzly jeans he put on to
humbug the average voter with. He
either ought to have kept on those
store clothes, or had the back of that
coat and those pants made Of green
jeans. Then he might have passed
for a greenbacker sho' huff. But
this is only an opinion, you know.

One DIR Livingstone, an Indian
ngcnt at Crow Greek, has been discov-
cred to be forger, thief, and scoun
drel generally. He has swindled the
Government and Indians out Of many
thousands of dollars since 1870, when
his stealing began. Who can blame
the Indians for revolving and declar>
ing vengeance against the whites when
they are habitually treated in this
manner? 1t is an outrage that should
be punished with the sevcrcst penalty
of the law, and IN the shortest time
possible. We are not sure if it would
not be properto turn all advantageous
over 10 the Indians for punishment.

We are reliably informed that the
Republicans of this Judicial Circuit
have concluded to run Dave Num-, of
Brownsville, az their candidate for
Circuit Judge, and that they have
thoroughly organized their forces,
white and black, to concentrate the
vote of their party upon him. They
think that they viii have little trouble
in electing him, as there are three
Democratic candidates for the same
position. If we allow ourselves to be
divided, giving anything like an
equal number of votes 10 each, Num-
will be our next Judge. They will
take advantage of our disorganization
and run him in as they did few
years since when they sent him to
Congress. The Chairmen Of the
different county Democratic executive
committees in the circuit have been in
consultation, for the purpose Of find
ing out who is the strongest among
our candidates, md have agreed that
John Carthel, of Gibson, is the man,
he having much greater strength than
either of the others. The different
chairmen urge the Democrats to rally
to the support Of Carthel, and thereby
defeat Num-. The Democratic papers
of the circuit will come out this week
in his favor also. We therefore earn
estly urge our friends to vote for him
unanimously. The other Democratic
candidates are honorable, worthy gen
tlemen, but have not strength to win,
and we presume they will withdraw
from the race before the election. Vote
for Carthel, and persuade your friends
TO vote the same way.
