Not Willing.

Viewed upon the surface the Fundcrs
seem dcsirous Of tying their own con-
sciences in advance, BY all sorts of oaths
and bitter protcstations, that they will,
under no circumstances make compro-
misc 40 as to give the large Rcadjust-
raent party fair representation OH the
electoral ticket, They admit that not to
do 10 will cndanger the vote Of Virginia
for HANCOCK. Indeed they declare that
the existence Of the REIMBURSEMENT ticket
will give. the State to GARFIELD. And
yet they bind Themselves to die in their
tracks, or rather TO see GARFIELD, the
Republican nominee, bag the eleven
votcs Of this State, before.thcy will yield
one inch. To be short and plain about
II, they have predetermined that Virgin
Ia shall 60 Republican, rather than any
portion Of her vote shall be cast by Re-
adjusterS, though Il be thus cast IN II
INIT for the Democratic nominees. They
do this for sentimental reasons. Now
we submit whether such men are flt 10
represent tho voice of the Democratic
masscs Of Va. We submit TO any patri-
otic mind the question whether such
mon arc suited to be trusted. II must
be admittchthat the Republican Read
justers hold the balance Of powcr--.os be-
tneen tho tpo Hancock tickets. A very
grave question hon must arlpo as TO the
power Of either of these TO cast the bulk
OF the Republican Rcadjustcr vote, It
Ia perfectly certain the Fundcrs cannot
do 1t. In the day when they were pie
thohc Of power they sat foot IN Just that
class Of voters. They put price on suf-
ffagc aud by other llliberal acts made
any such fusion impossible. Though
warned at tho time that they were sour
Ing and embIitcrlng a unified minority,
which would embrace the opportunity
OF tho frat brecch In their own ranks TO
form friendly and powerful alliance,
yet they paid no heed TO the warning.
The Negro was told by them to 20 to
hell. That the school money, and the
Asylum money, and the convict money
should forever be secondary to the bond
holders demands, and the way was be-
Ing cautiously blazcd for the speedy ab.
clifton Of the school system. Now they
smell the battle Of 1881 and have yrtu-
silly ewotn that they mean to uso this
Presidential conyms IA the means OF
breaking tho back Of the Readjuetcr
power to be used next year.
Cur rOadcra have good deal Of time
iNr reflection before the November clcc.
tlon and we AJAX them 10 reflect awhile
on thie view Of anNlrs invn.

Kemper We. Kemper, Taylor
VS.. Phlegar.

The no-compromisers held meeting
of the State committee last week at Rich
mond and swore they would nerer COM
promise to save HANCOCK. They swore
until the old Ballard House echoed
"never." They then ordered the print
Ing Of 10000 copies of the address which
was written by CHAs. U. WILLIAMS,
who was one Of the 80 honest men who,
in 1868, went to sea in the bowl of the
old Funding Bill and took on board so
many divine Jonahs with them that the
tempest came and played the devil with
them. The said committee then pro-
ceeded to appoint canvasser for the
State at large, and they laid their hands
on and commissioned for the work the
Chamcliconic eX-Goy. from Madison
Gov. Kemper, who in 1874 wrote the
finest thesis on REIMBURSEMENT ever read
to hungry crew of bondholders. In
fact they told him he must go on the
stump and answer his own message. 1t
was unanimously carried that Kemper
was just the man to try that very vain
thing. Having thus put Kemper VS..
Kemper, they then picked up the easy
end ofthc firm Of Taylor & Phlegar, and
and az Taylor was on the ReadjusteI
ticket Of electors for the 9th Dist, they
put Phlegar on their ticket for the ninth
thus putting Phlegar va. Taylor. The
body then adjourned without visiting
I'm MAssE either Holiday or Tilden.

The Radical papers fcelingly announce
10 VA that Gen. Hancock whipped the
"Rehels." They'll vote for him "allce
samee. "-RogersriHe Spectator.
Certainly! You see the thing is quite
reciprocal. We thrashed Hancock
quite as often as he thrshcd us. At
Gettysburg we sent him from the field
ons litter. When two fellows have
fought and afterwards like each other,
you can set It down there Ia something
good in those two men. The skunks
who did no fighting, or, like Garfield, MS
little as possible, are rarely reconciled to
n noble foe.

Let the clarion voice of Daniel, the ir-
resistiAle logic of Henry Allen, the gol-
den words of Goode, and the laundering
satire of Ran. Tucker, be again heard
arousing our people to a sense Of their
danger.-Fander Letter from Pulaski.
These be terrible giants of old, and II
they were in sympathy with the people,
their tread would shake the earth over
all Virginia, but the fact that they are
unified by one supreme motive to yoke
Virginia to the coupon outrage, deprive'
them Of all influence. Some flowrets OF
glory indeed they inherit but the trail Of
the coupon is over them all.

EVENT and COMMENT

Col. T. r. Pelton, Mr.. TiIden's neph-
CIV and private secretary, died last week
IN New York.
The Republicans Of Washington coun-
~, Tenn, have nominated John f. Girls
ham for the Legislature, over A. b. Boz
man, and the Greenville convention
nominated a. j. Brown, another Jones'
boro man, for the Senate.
The N. Y. Herald makes the point
that Bob lngcrsoll has no right TO proph-
rcy, since he disbclieves in God. But
the Herald ought to reflect that this
would curtail Bob's freedom, since he
wiahes to abolish God, simply to be able
10 do as he pleascs.

back as last January, Of Col Thos. j.
George, In Mercer county, W. Va, at
the age OF 70. Many years ago he re-
peatedly represented TNzewell county in
the House Of Delegates, and was then q

He died at the house of his son-in-law,
Mr. Austin Peck, and the latter portion
OF his life was very religious one.
Gen. Hancock was formally notified Of
his nomination last Tuesday on Cover

namesake had Just died and threw n

ed for similar service In other Northern
States during the Hancock campnign.---
It Is our opinion Maj. DANIEL and other
Southern "Noratore," who are allowing
the Hancock boom TO turn their heads,
had better stay out Of the North until
the question as to the permanent exclu-
zion of Democrats from power has been

A Fool Once More.

"For ten years my wife was confined

Hop Bitters on it, and thought | would

Just before Chastine Cox was hanged
in New York he received letter from
his brothers. wife at Midlothian, Ches-
terfeld Co., Va, in which she said the
baptism Of her infant son would be post
poned until after the Presidential cleo
ton, 40 that she could name him after
