ABOUT THE JUDICIARY

of Virginia, under the present regime, 1t
is conceded that never before has the
proud old state had such inferior men. (of
course, this must be accepted in general
sense, for there are some notable and
worthy exeeptions) for judges. A number
of them are styled lizard judges" from
the fact that they were gamblers. and
used an instrument with which to cheat
known as lizard" They were selected
not with view of how much law they
knew, nor for their personal standing. but
as rewards for political services rendered.
Can any fair-minded man. north or south.
doubt for moment that such state of
affairs Is Illuminating and almost disheart-
ening to the honest and true Virginians
It must be remembered. too. that ell this
disgrace and misfortune could never have
fallen upon the people except By the aid
of republican votes.
In conversation with the better elements
and especially the leaders of the debt pay
ing party, I found a general impression
prevailing that the pending cam paign
would be warm, exciting and determined
one: that theregular democrats were anx
ious and glad OF the opportunity to test
the real strength of the raa tjusters, and
everywhere the feeling is strong for a

habits. The conduct of a large number of
the delegates to the Richmond convention,
held July 7, was described to me as dis
graceful in the extreme. The free use of
mean whisky made them wild; they
boarded trains in opposite directions from
which they came. and when the balf-fare
rates were refused. declined 70 pay any
more, although they did not eoae oyer the
road By which they returned, and defed,
in true rufhan style, railroad employees,
who were compelled to carry them as
dead heads These are the men who have
the temerity to assert that the regular
democrats SHALL be the first to make offers
of compromise, and that, too, liberal
one, or else they will fight IL cut, even
though the Republicans carry the state.
The leaders of this party are bold and
defiant; claim that they are iu majority,
and that before November, they will be
able to compel the regular Democrats to
either withdraw their electoral ticket, or
else take away their votes 10 sufficient
mum ers to elect the readjuster5' ticket.
By this means. they are endeavoring to
make votes. hoping that they can main
taiu their orgauiz4tio for another local
or state campaign. The truth of the
matter is, honest men ara becoming so
disguised with the readj1steT party that
they are leaving it, and the leaders know
il. In some of the counties in Piedmont,
Virginia, the machine resdjusters were
actually exhausted in sending delegates to
their ramp convention at Rich mend.

the Malone men would be so rash and

electors in the field. But it has been
Mahone's policy to rule or ruin, and
although many of bis shrewdest henchmen

of whom have held high positions. The
grand mogul of the readjuster party, the

John Paul, of Rockingham, is such an
readjuster that he has been for years and

the Seventh district, but the wind has
been taken out of his sails twice by Judge
