Yesterday the people of Vienna had a
grand treat in the shape of Democratic
meeting at which Hon. VIM. Hartzell, our
next congressman, and Judges Allen and
Crawford spoke to large and enthusiastic
assemblage. To-day free barbecue takes
place at New Grand Chain, where Judges
Allen and Crawford and Hons. Hartzell and
Spann will hold forth. A good time is an

inst, Jonesboro will have benefit, and
thus the Democratic boom moves irresistl
bly, on.
The Republicans have been congratu'
lating themselves on the possibility of car
rying Virginia, because there are two Dem-
ocratic electoral tickets in the field, viz:
the Readjusters and the Funders tickets.
The discovery, however, that every voter
must pay his poll tax before he can vote,
has had the effect OF dispensing their bright
hopes. The Republican party is largely
composed of colored men, and they are not
disposed to pay anythingfo the privilege
of voting for Garfield. There is every pros
pect that the regular Democratic electoral
ticket will be elected, unless the Repdbli.
cans furnish the means to pay the poll tax
of their colored voters-which they are not
we'll able to spare from other states where
there is at least a possibility of sue
cess.

ga,eposts at his own expense, because gate
posts are no, mentioned il the lease. oae
hardly knows how 10 set in order 70 satisfy
his conscience tha. he WAS besmiag with
wisdom when he thought he rented that
establishment, IS house" he may draw
consolation from the :ict tbs. men besides
himself are to Be found in the same boat.
