MEssRs. EDITORS Hon. Meade
White, of Staunton, addressed the cili-
zens Of our town, in the Town Hall, on
the issues Of the canvass last evening.
He graphically showed up the infamous
Garfield, and he gave TO the audience
some letters Of President Hayes with
his opinion Of Gen. Chester Arthur 81
New York; and Why he turned him out
Of office, because be wanted il filed by
an "Honest man."
The efforts in Richmond 10 compro-
mise on the Shenandoah plan were re-
lerred to a plan alike honorable 10 ALL
which the Readiustor committee fatty
refused to agree to, or to anything that
was honorable or Democratic, Said
he. The time and The hour have arrived
when men should stop talking about
compromise, and should bundle on their
armouls and prepare for battle; that
the 7th Of Julycrs beng welded to their
faithful allies, and those allies being
Republicans that all true Democrats
should prepare for double duty, and we
could and would whip both.
lie also shoaedus the gall on the
liver Of John Paul, and it was all COW
cred over with coptatiOn tar. lie who
voted and plead for the capjtation tax
on the floor Of the Capital at Richmond
and helped 10 make it The law of this
state, now pandering after the support
of his faithful allies would have that
copiia,ion tax removed aud allow III the
future &c counties Of cur state sending
II delegates 10 our legislature TO he
controlled by Republicans, and tie loss
TO the free schools Of this capitation tax
would have to be added 10 the taxes OF
the sturdy farmers of this Valley as
well as elsewhere throughout Virginia,
for those from whom the taxes could be
made, they should be made.
And Thus John Paul .
cared not at ali "

gross.
lie contrastod with this picture the
champion of the 7th Congressional
d.strc. Hon. Henry Clay Allen, a man
Who was solid and honest in bis conyc-
lions and who could and would faithfully
represent Us, and for whom Augusta
would roll up two thousand majority
on the 81 Of November. lie was heart
IL cncored by the large audience pes
en- and after closing many calls were
made for Hcnkcl, when Mr.. David
Henkel Of New Market came forward
and said he came to hear a speech not
10 make one, but promised that he
would address them before the close Of
The campaign, lie wished then and
there to distinctly announce that be
bad stopped compromising, and usgcC
all to rr,? re for the struggle for the
supremacy Of true Democracy in Old
Virginia.

remarks by Capt. Vim, Sibcrt Of Rock
incham, lie too lad bucklod on lis
armor for tie fight and called on his
old.a Aa,es around lin, those Will

Democratic ticket fer so years, 10 knoo
if they were to listen TO men who said,
