The Tally 10 Date.

We nave revised and extended
our recent table of results so as to
include the republican delegates
chosen this week. with such slight
notifications of our Mondays list as
later information seems to require.
Our only aim is to keep close to
the facts so far as the facts are as
certainable. This tally may not be
absolutely correct. but it is a near
approach to accuracy. 1t will serve
as a useful guide in estimating the
strength OF the several candidates
at the present date.
The ex-President continues to
lead in the number of delegates cho-
sen, but Mr. Blaine has so far gain
ed upon him that they are separa-
ted by slight and vanishing inter-
val. According to our reckoning
the ex-President has 1852 delegates;
Mr. Blaine, 243 Mr.. Sherman, 81;
Mr. Edmunds, 81, and Mr., Wash
burne, II. The ex President is on
Iy 10 ahead of Blaine. and the ag-
gregate delegates of all his oppo-
nents make a majority of 124
against him in the present state Of
tally. We suppose he will not with
draw so long as he has the lead,
nor even if Mr.. Blaine should over
take and pass him. None of the
candidates will retire until after
there has been test of both strength
and OF the persistence in the Con-
vention, since each hatters himself
with the hope that when the other
delegations break he will come in
for a share. The champions of the
ex-Prcsident cherish this hope as
the supporters of the other can
didates, and they think, or affect
10 think, that he will have a more
resolute nucleus around which the
scattered fragments will rally.
None of the other candidates is 60
ing to withdraw because he will
not have a majority at tie outset,
and the ex-President having practi-
cally discarded all his early atfecta-
tons OF coyness and reluctance, as
is likely to remain i'll the field and
allow persistent battle to be
fought tor him as any OF the rest

sale oftl,e Virginia Midland
Railroad.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, May 13.-At
four o'clock this afternoon, the SUI
perscdeas estopping the sale having
been withdrawn, the Washington
City, Virginia Midland and Great
Southern railroad, extending from
this city TO Danville, with its yari-
Gus branches, was sold at auction by
Commissioner Barbour,for $4,000
600, to r. Il. Baldwin, j. Wilcox
Brown and Robert Garret, trustees
for the associated bondholders and
creditors. The sale had been adver-
tised to take place at noon. and the
commissioner appeared at that hour
and postponed 1t until 4 P, NJ. 1t
Is understood that the supersedcas
was the subject of consultation in
the meantime, and that the sale
proceeded in consequence OF infor =
nation conveyed to the commissioner.
The aforementioned bid for the
property was made by Mr.. R, T..
Baldwin for the trustees, and was
the only bid that was made OF
course the sale is yet to be ratified
Or set aside by the court.
The whole amount Of the princi-
pal of the funded debt of the road
is SS,531,OOO. The trustees have
on deposit with the Safe Deposit
Company of Baltimore, and subject
to their order, bonds, the principal
OF which amounts 10 S7,529, 600.
The line Of road extends from Alex
andria to Danyille, 237 miles, with
branches from Manassas to Stras-
burg, 60 miles, and to Warrenton,
9 miles.

Grant and the Independents
Ticket.

A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from Petersburg. says:
1.-THE two wings Of the Republican
party held mass.meetinGs 10 this city,
last night, at each Of which several adj
dresses were delivered"
SAT the meeting of the Readjustel
wing of the party speeches were made
by Z. H. Tinsley, and Capt. j. II. Hill
late delegate to the convention from
this city, who gave an account Of theil
stewardship and their reason for not
favoring the appointment at that time
Of an electoral ticket. A resolution
was adopted approving their action
Captain Hill, in the course Of his re-
marks, said it was the intention of HIM.
self and friends to join with the Re
adjusters in the nomination Of an cleo
toral ticket, with General Graut at its
head"
An electoral ticket with Gen. Grant
at its head, would scarcely be lndcpen
dent enough to catch the Democrats o.
this Valley. 1t may do for the Re-
publicans of Eastern Virginia, but ii j:
very doubtful whether the Democrats Of
this Valley will swallow it, even after
that ugly head is chopped of. Again,
Democrats, "beware Of the Greeks
bearing gifts"
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1880-05-19

THE effort Of a small clique to run
an entire state has proved dead fail
ure. The Republicans left them and
the Democrats consider themselves
capable OF running their own party
machinery. Democrats IN Shenan
doah voted the read]uster ticket, but
were not silly enough to sell themselves
out to the few men that organized that
independent ticket scheme, and hoped
under the cry Of" REIMBURSEMENT " to
lead the Democrats ofthis Valley
Let them get up another job like the
independent ticket scheme and they
will find that among the white people
of Virginia, they will have only Office
seekers.

"Ours is a purely local organization,
confined to the domain state Of limits,
and affecting solely state politics, and IN
opinion has no more to do with nation
al issues than the county debt question
has to do with the national debt Ques-
ton.
We believe. further, that we may be
good readjusters and at the same time
exercise, upon questions ofnauOaal i'm
port, having no bearing upon the aims
and purposes of the local party. our Ia
dividual preferences and opinions Ill
other words. we sec no reason why a
man may not be a good readjuster and
yet democrat, or a good rcadJuster
and yet a republican. This much, so
far as the Presidential contest Is con-
cerned." - Highland Recorder.
Why, certainly. We are glad to see
that some Of the Readjuster organs
have no use for the wild scheme set on
foot by a few men who imagined that
they could lead the people Of this great
Commonwealth. Ifthey give up the
treacherous scheme, it will only be be-
cause the people compel them to give II
up. If they try to force it through, they
may find themselves a party composed
only of leaders who want Office. 1t Is
Illuminating to give up, but it is ruin tc
hold Oh. What will they do about It
1t matters little now what they do. Tho
people have already defeated the bold
conspiracy and it only remains for the
consplrators to cover 1t up.

The Readiuster Ticket.

The Wing assures us that there will
te ticket made up by the readjusters
of Virginia in their July Convention,
but discreetly intimates that it will not
necessarily be an unplcdged ticket.
Just 80. There will be no uncommil-
ted ticket run in Virginia this year.
What would be tho rationale Of such a
proceeding? There will be but two
candidates for President who will carry
State. These will be the nominees
of the Cincinnati and the Chicago Con-
ventons. Now, tell us why there
should be any uncommitted ticket run
under such circumstances 3? Let US
suppose that BLAINE and HANCOCK
are the nominees respectively OF these
Conventions. Necessarily, then, il
will follow that the Readjusters will
have nobody TO choose between next
November whom they will not have be-
fore them as candidates When their
Convention meets in July. Why, then,
should not the choice OF the Readjus-
tiers be made an once? 1t ioiU be made
at once. Tie unpledged electoral
ticket will have been abandoned, and
the next move must be choice be-
tween BLAINE and HANCOCK.
To which of these candidates will
the MALONE Convention give in It's
adhesion? Not to General HANCOCK !;
because that Convention will consist
largely of Republicans. These will
never agree to support Democratic
candidate for President. Especially
will this be the case with the negroes.
They can never, we suppose, be induce
ed TO transfer their votes from the Re-
publican to the Democratic side in
national election. That would be a
very different thing from voting as be-
tween the Read busters and the Conser-
yatives, as they had 10 do last fall. Be-
sides, we suppose that none but the
most malignant Of the Conservative
Readjusters will desert The Democratic
party whilst 1t is engaged in trying to
elect a Democratic President. The
Oillce-seekers who hope Tor nothing
from the Conservative party, aud the
olliCe-aOlders elected by the last Legs
lature, who are afraid Of not getting, or
OF losing, places, Will be the only
Democrats i'll the July Convention, we
guess and il 50, the Republican elc-
ment will control that body, and either
cause it TO declare Tor the Republican
nominee for President, or else the ne
groes will desert the MALONE party,
aud leave il to its fate.
But suppose a ticket be made up con-
sisllng OF Six Republicans and five Con
seIvatiye Reaujusters, or five. of the for
mer aud SIX OF the latter; how then /!
Such ticket would be blank ballot.
The two ends Of it would cansel each
other, aud the product would nought.
1t would be just as well to run only
the odd, since the other ten electors
would couAt Tor exactly nothing. Such
a proceeding cannot be expected OF
sensible men. The ticket must be for
some body, and that somebody will
probably be the Republican nominee.
And just as soon as such a ticket Is
made up aud the Read usters thus op-
eniy confess their alliance with the Reo
pubiicans, We expect TO see the Conser-
yallNe Regdjusters falling in;o line with
their old Democratic friends. -Richm0Hd
Dispatck.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1880-05-19

THE prospect for the Democrats
carrying Virginia is good. Many OF
the best men Of the Readjuster party
have declared themselves in favor OF
the nominee Of the National Demo-
cratic party. The readjusters OF
Shenandoah were Democrats and when
you act upon the suppositien that all
this clamor about readjustment will
blind them as 10 the difference between
the Republican and Democratic parties,
you Will find that there is great mis-
take somewhere. Shenandoah will
give the Democratic party big ma
jority, in spite Of the independent
ticket scheme.

THE Richmond Commonwealth termed
the Independent ticket Galvanized"
A very appropriate name when it Is
known that the term galvanized, +"
was applied to southern prisoners who
were in Northern prisons as spies,
and reported their friends to the enemy.
An independent ticket can only &C
compllsh by betrsying democrats and
inducing them to assist the radicals by
throwing their votes away on an indie
pendent ticket. Beware of the scheme.
If you are a Democrat stick to your
party and don't be fooled by the deep
LAID scheme.

The developments IN Chicago have
done more to weaken tie third'term
movement throughout tie country than
ANYTHING that has happened since the
canvass began, 1t opens the eyes OF
Republicans not only to the amazing
W eakness OF the cX-Presidcnt as a
candidate, but to the amazing audacily
of the managers who are bent upon his
nomination atall hazards. 1t shows
the Republicans Of the metropolitan
city of Grants native State TO be two 10
one against his nomination. 1t shows
his managers determined to secure the
Cook county delegates, Notwithstanding
this overwhelming defeat at the prim'
ares. The shadow OF the imperialism
which the third term suggests lies hidden
in these methods. Illinois Is co needed
by the Grant men to be the pivot upon
which their success must turn and IL
linois has already demonstrated that
committal to the thlrd term means Re-
publican deieat.-From The Utica Her.

WE publish the proceedings Of 6
meeting of the Malone wing OF the
Readjusters In Alexandria as published
in the Alexandria Gazette. A careful
perusal of this article by the Demo

want more evidence, wait for the July
convention, and then study the com
position Of that body. The indepen-

based upon the support Of the negroes

it, they cannot expect the support o.
