Now for Virginia.
Now thai the Democratic National Com
m,ltee bss Gene up to The help Of the regu'
Isr Dsmocrs,s Ia this state BY formally re-
toeu,stue the electoral ticket nominated by
tho May Convsstlcn % the ticket OF the
HANCOCK patty d The United States, there
ought to be no hesitation to support that
ticket on the part Of any true Democrat
however much he may be devctedsto read
iustment In his character - member OF :
purely State party. There is no appeal
from the decision Of the National Execu'
tive Committee. There 10 no higher party
tribunal ia the land. II IL the court OF last
resort. Il IL the Democratic Supreme Court
q the United States, and every law-Ioving
and law-abiding Democrat ought to bow In
submission to 10 decision, Just as be would
IL the case Of q constitutional question
finally decided by the supreme Court Of
the United States.
When the MAHoxH speakers call npon q
Rcxdjuster voter TO stand by their ticket, be
ought to reply, "Get your ticket recog-
nised by the National Democratic party,
and will. But cannot vote for ticket
which nobody outside Of Virginia pretends
to regard either a. Democratic ticket or as
aHAScocK ticket. Your ticket Is provincial.
Il belongs to one State only. II has no odor
Of nationality about Il. 1t appeals to the
sJmpathies Of nobody not virglnian. II
was framed not in the interest Of Gene
ral HANCOCK. but In the interest OF
RDDLsBER0sR, MAssEY. MALONE, and
other debt agitators, oil Of whom are
much moro deeply concerned In regard
TO the success Of their State schemes than
they are for the triumphant election OF
HANCOCK" Why should any ReSdjuster
who Is at the same time true Democrat
hesitate for moment to return such an an
swer to men who are asking him to vote a
ticket that was nominated solely for the pur-
pose OF beating the regular HANCOCK ticket,
which latter has now been formally recog-
nized by the National Democratic party?
Lord THuRLow, when approached by GER
tain Dlssenters who complained to him how
he had neglected or ilLtreated their Church,
replied. "Get your Church established and
will do as much for 1t as have done for
my own" He rather illogically concluded
that bis Church was right because 1t was the
Established Church. The Democrats In Vir.
giuia now have the same sort OF advantage
over the Mahoneites. Our party has been
recognized by the party authorities of the
grand National Democratic party OF the
Union; and there is no appeal. We are the
regulars. "There's such divinity doth
bedgen US now that we can fear no danger
from roorbacks or foolish falsehoods con.
concerning our ticket. We are the party.
Get your party recognized, General Ma
HONE, and wen talk to you about your
ticket afterwards.
The Cincinnati platform declares in favor
OF paying the State debts and the national
debt. The Democratic party Is already
mistrusted In the North because OF its
alleged. doubtful position on these ques-
lions. How, then, could any sane man ex-
pect General HANCOCK to agree to recognize
Mr.. RIDDLEBIRGER, the author Of the bill
which proposes to repudiate twelve mil
lions OF the debt OF Virginia, declared to
be honestly owing by her by the highest
Judicial tribunal In the Commonwealth
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER is an elector at large
upon the MALONE ticket. Suppose bis
ticket bad been recognized as the genuine
ticket by General HANCOCK: how many. cleo
toral votes would General HANCOCK have
received 10 the Northf WY, he would
have been branded as repudiator from
Maine to California, and his party would
have sunk beneath the waves OF public con-
domination.
Come up, then, Virginians, to the sup
port OF HANCOCK and ENGLISH. Let Re.
adjustment 60 for this year. Next year
will be time enough for that-next year,
when you will have to elect Governor and
q Legislature. At present, your one duty
IL to cast your vote for the regular Demo
cratic electoral ticket pledged to the sup
port OF HANCOCK and ENGLISH.
