all her high traditions.
What is Virginia's duty nowy You

penJs on the action OF your State. You

responsibility you carry in this contest.

THE SPLENDID slsTERE0oD,
come 10 YOU to-day aud tell you that wt
mean victory. We intend TO subordinate
every selfish personal consideration; we IN
tend to put away every side issue; we IN
Ter to look solely and only to the Demo
cratic platform and the Democratic stand
ard.bearers, and with GODS help we intenf
10 win this fight for that platform and fol
those standard bearers. VIII virginia

were reared under The doctrine OF Jefferson
and Of Madison; will men who followed Lee

a Republican President! ! cannot DeileV'
it, Realize, il you cIn, what will follow
Republican triumph in November. fot
have all seen what strides that party ha'
made toward Capitalization; you have seer
your Judges stricken down by The malice
hand OF the National Government; got
have seen the Republican party mass troop
at YOUR polls to oyerawe your free Suffrage
YOU have seen their deputy marshalS, thel
Supervisors, their returning bo1rds-th'
instruments 10 an overthrow OF the las
yestige OF State rights. | tell you, my
countrymen,
TIE FATE OF THE SOUTH
will be harder than ever il the Republican
marty is successful in this campaign. W.
Shall behold no more free elections, no NOR
untrammelled expression OF political senti
ment. and no one OF Us now living will eve
again see a restoration to Democratic ru
and principle.
II we elect the Democratic nominees tb'
Republican patty will 20 to pieces like
rome OF sand. Their mission Is ended, !
they ever had mission. There
nothing that holds them together to-da'
save s'the cohesive power OF public PUN
der" The Republican party is The part.
OF hate. the party OF rank and rabid sec
tionalsm. The Democratic party is th
marty OF peace and OF union that would BIO
ont all sectional differences forever, and
has proven this in the nomination OF Gene
raj Hancock at Cincinnati. There was bu
one feeling there among the southern dele
gates. That feeling was expressed whel
NE said 10 our northern Democratic breth
rem: "GIve us q northern Democrat wh'
can be elected. We bring you 13S votes
and we ask you to bring Us man who eat
bring us so more" They gave Us the man
his name is Hancock. That name took lik'

Since the nomination was made every maj
who was in that Convention has come t
the conclusion that we could not possibl.

cock was nominated Blyard wrote 10 IN
that he was perfectly satisiied-that Han

he was one against whom the bloody shlr
could not be waved. We have put

who can speak better than any other maj
alive for North CarOlina-nay, for the Who'll

words and tell you that we can carry on

will ouly carry Virginia. He has come, liz
me, to appeal TO you not to sake us II
This hour OF our need. l appeal to you il
