Bug Under the Chip.

The reverend Auditor Of the State,
Parson Massey, who spends NEST Of his
time, for which the people Of Virginia
pay him from three to four thousand
dollars annually, in roaming around
intoxicating strange political doctrines
from the hustings, pledged the 7th Of
July Convention to the repeal Of the
Capaqtion Tar. He SAID in his spe ech
1t the night session Of that body, when
he was trying to concillate his radical
and negro allies, and prevent their
secession, that if helbelieved the cleo =
ton of Garfield and Arthur would con-
duce more to the success of his party in
1881 than the election OF Hancock and
English. he would unhesitahngly sup
portthe former. This man, a leader
among the leaders, who is beng groom
cd by the 7th of July men for their can
didate in the gubernatorial race OF mex.
wear. OF course Mr.. Massey would
vote for Garfield and Arthur without
anv hesitation whatever to promote has
success as candidate, for the position OF
Governor of this Commonwealth In
1881. Who doubts it ! Five thousand
dollars year will be the salary OF
Governor whether the administration in
Washington be democratic or republi-
can. And to curry favor with tue
NEGRO radicals of East Virginia Mr..
Massey pledged the 7th of July men
70 the repeal of the capitation tar.
What think the white men of Shenan-
dosh county, what think the farmers OF
the Valley of Virginia Of the pro-
gramme? VIII they be lead like sheep
TO the shambles TO advance the pclitl-
cal fortunes of men like Massey who
care nothing for democratic success in
the great battle that is now being
waged for the preservation of our re-
publican form Of government, men who
are looking solely to self and only
nominally support Hancock and En-
plish because their selfish purposes will
be best subserved by this nominal sup
port? Repeal the capitation tax! Re
store TO the negroes Of East Virginia
all the political power they have lost !!
with the experience before US Of the
Southern States were compelled TO en-
dure negro rule, run the risk in Virginia
of subjecting all the property and social
interests in the State to negro DONNA
ton And for what? Why, Massey
wants 10 be Governor, Paul wants to
be congressman, and so on TO the end
of the chapter. And just here we dis
cover the bug under the chip. Let the
people. the farmers Of the Valley es'
pecially, continue to dance to every
tune that these political pipers pipe for
them, and we avouch that before the
sport is ended they will perform such
fantastic capers before high heaven as
will make the angels weep.

The Democrats of Virginia may rest
assured that Shenandoah will give
forth 10 uncertain sound. A number
of our citizens of both parties, readjus
ter and funder, in order to secure the
certain success Of the Hancock and En-
glish ticket, expressed desire for a
compromise ticket. Should there be
no compromise uckct, Shenandoah
will give large majority for the regu-
lar Democratic ticket. Readjnsters and
Funders are standing shoulder to shout

THE AHoNE.GARFIELD TICKET.
We wish to call the particular atten-
ton of the public to the following para.
graph. 1t was published by US on yes
terday, but it is of sufficient interest
and importance to be published again.
Keep it before the people that:
cat the meeting of the Democratic state Com
mittee in Richmond, Wednesday, Mr.. Meredith
mentioned that he ha Il heard Captain Jno. s: Wise
say that II his {Xisc's) ticket was elected, and
Hancock did not recognize him or his party as the
Democrats then that he (Mr, Wise) would vote
for garfield, Mr.. Wise is on the Forcible Read
iustcr or Malone ticket pat forth last week.
This is exactly what the NeicS said
more than a week ago. 1t then warn
ed the honest Readjusters and the peO-
pie at large that there was no assurance
whatever that the Malone electors
would vote fox General Hancock, not
withstanding their nominal pledge to
support his ticket. We SAID that il they
could make anything by voting for any,
body else they would do so, whether
that somebody was Grant or Malone
himself. The electors seem to be pre-
pared to 90 even greater lengths than
we had supposed, for here is one Of
them who finally confesses that The
and lis coafreres are not recognized by
General Hancock as the Simon-Pure

How THEY Do Tive will
stake about halt a dozen of our
Mecklenburg Readjusting friends
against the world for getting up
m eetings' 1t has been we'll known
here that at the last two courts ef-
forts were made to get up meetings
to send delegates to Mabone's Con-
vention; but the Readjusters Of the
county, being good Democrats and
sensible meR, knew it wouldn't do
to divide on national issues, and no
meetings were held, it being under
stood that we were all to support
the regular Democratic ticket.
What was our surprise, then, on
getting the Richmond Wig Of
last Thursday to see that Mecklen-
burg was fully represented in the
Convention.
We went to work at once to find
out how it was, and found it to be
thus: On Monday morning the 9th
of July five gentlemen accidentally
met in law-oiicc in GAINESVILLE
After talking the matter over they
resolved themselves into a meeting
ooll;r,, ono ofthcir number to the
chair, and appointing another sec
rotary. They then appointed dele
gates and alternatcs for each mag
isterial district in the county, and
adopted resolution authorizing any
delegate who might be present to
east the whole vote OF the county.
One Of the five started at once for
Richmond, attended the Convention,
and, under the resolution, cast the
vote Of the county.
This was the large, enthusiastic
and unanimoua way in which the
county was represented. Who can
beat it ?-MecklenJury DemOcrat'

arc Democrats and upon National is

are in favor ofand will support the re-
gular ticket, but at the same time will
use their best efforts 10 bring about q
compromise. Compromises as a gem
eral thing only put off the day OF reck-

effectually. There is no principal in

Gov, James L. Kempcr, addressed
to the chairman of the Virginia
democratic State central committee,
in which, after acknowledging the
notification Of his appointment as a
State canvasser, he says
Il gratefully appreciate the ap-
pointment as distinguished honor,

ton of my health denies Inc the
privilege of undertaking its duties.
A local paralysis of seventeen years
duration has been steadily taking

are now such that 1 neither walk

pain. While my capacity for Sc
dentary labor is in no degree les
scned, 1 am utterly untitled tor the

cal contest actively. In declining
the appointment let me assure ass. the
committee that l am identified with

to perpetuate the supremacy OF the
national democratic party and the
one organized conservative party OF
Virginia. l shall humbly help them
as far as l can to save the party
which has saved Virginia in the
past and on whose safety is steaked
the safety of Virginia in the tu-
ture.
