1.-THE facts of the case, as admitted
by the ans,cer, either positively or by
implication, show clearly that their con-
duet towards Jonston in this matter
has been full of FRAUD, TREACH-
cry and DUPLICITY." And for
this no excuse or justification is offered
except a general charge Of bad faith in
endeavoring to obtain sole control OF
the company. THE VERY THING THEY
HAD GIVEN HIM DIRECTLY BY THE
WRITTEN CoNTRACT!!
Can this A. w. Jon Is, Of New Jer-
sey, possibly be our a. w. Jones, Of
New Jersey, now endeavorlng to wreck
the Democratic strength Of Virginia?
The above facts are taken from the
opinion of Chancellor Zabriskie, in the
case of Jonston V. Jones, % New Jer-
sey Equity Reports, p. 2lG, to which
we beg TO refer all Seventh-of-Julyer'

LET every Democrat of Shenandoah

LET every Democrat Of Shenandoah
read the proceedings Of the so called
Readjuster convention Of the Sixth Dis
trict. Like the convention that nomi-
mated the striped electoral ticket, it was
composed Of negro republicans and their
white allies. Bob Mays, the radical
Judge of Botetourt said that he was o
Republican and had attended the RI IL
cal Convention at StauntOn, that he in
tended to yate for Hancock because he
did not see any chance Of carrying
Virginia for Garfield, who was bis first
choice and for whom he would vote, il
he thought he could carry Virginia. He
abused the old conservative party and
SAID that compared with it the Radical
party was as white as snow. He was
with the Readjusters because they could
do more for the Republicans Of the
State than the Federal government
could. His speech was dirty TRADE
against the white people Of Virginia.
Frank Moss radical negro delegate,
made bitter speech and acknowledge
cd that he intended to vote for Gar
field and Arthur. How is this for the
pure democracy? A radical, Garfield
and Arthur negro one Of the delegates
and one of the speakers in q Malone
convention. Tell the people that you
are pure democrats and that Bob Nor
ton, Syphax, and Frank Moss, negro
radicals are your associates.

The Funder and ReadjusieF
Fight In VIrginia-NO Com
promise Possible.

DR.. Moran, of Falls Church, Va,
who, though not politician, is
very active this year in behalf Of
Hancock, was at the Democratic
headquarters in this city yesterday.
A S5ar reporter asked him if there
was any prospect Of compromise
between the Funders and Readjust-
ers on an electoral ticket. "None
in the world" he replied. The
Star reporter remarked that warm
friend of General Malone said in
this city to-day that he (Mahone)
recently declared he was willing to
unite with the Funders on an cleo
toral ticket. "Therc will not be
any union" maintained DR.. Moran.
1.-The Readjuster leaders don't want
one and will not have one. But we
can and will carry the State for
Hancock. More than three fourths
of the Rcadjusters are honestly for
Hancock, and all we have to do to
get their votes is to convince them
that the only way to succeed is to
vote the regular ticket. We are
going into the fight in earnest now.
The entire State will be thorough
ly canyassed; very many Of the
most prominent Readjusters are al
ready with us, and are canvassing
for the regular ticket. We must
show the Readjusters that State is
sues have nothing to do with this
canvass. The Republican ticket
will get almost the entire support OF
Republican voters, and the regular
ticket Will receive enough Rcadjust-
er-Democratic votes to | Get
it. The ReadJusters are mostly
earnest Democrats, and the plan OF
our canvass Is to point out to them
that there is but one way to make
their principles of national govern
ment succeed-that is by voting for
the regular Hancock ticket
There are some Readjusters, whom
we call Mahonitcs to distinguish
them, who are not Democrats. They
will stick to the Mahone ticket. -

A Big Purchase.

The Malone party are trying to get
the Democrats of the Valley to furnish
the capital by which they can secure
10000 negro votes. When these 49,
900 votes are added 10 the Radicals and
a number of counties of the State are
turned over to negro domination, it
will be too late for our people 10 say. il
1 had known that, never would have
voted the ticket. Will any man Of ordi-
nary prudence, allow class that pay:
no taxes upon property TO levy the tax
upon his property ? If 4O,OOOvotes are
given to the negroes by repeating the
capitation tax qualification, what is tc
prevent these negroes from placing the
tax npon your property ? Furnish the
Malone party the necessary capital
in the shape!ofyour votes and after {
while they can run the machine
without.yo assistance.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. c.
The indications are that at the cleo
ton for all State and county officers
and members Of the Legislature to-
day the democrats carried the State
by the usual majority, The repub.
licans claim the election of w. S.
Oliver for sheriff of Pulaski county
Nothing definite can be ascertai ned,
however, before morning.
The election here to-day was yer
quiet and peaceable. There very
three tickets in the field in THE
(Pulaski) county, democratic, res
publican and greenback. 1t will
take the official count to determine
the result. The main question was
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution repudiating certain. bonds,
which was defeated in this county
b over 1000 majority. Reports
from Jefferson, Miller and other
counties give overwhelming major
ties against il. It is the opinion o.
Col. Smith, chairman @; the demo
cratic State central committee, that
the amendments defeated and The
democratic State ticket elected by
10000 majority.

THE Richmond correspondent of thu

dressed letter to Gen. Malone il
reference to a compromise ticket, il
order that there may be no danger o
the Republicans carrying the State, and
that there has been some correspond
ence between the parties mentioned
upon this subject. He further says thai
the plan to which Gen Mahone's at
tentlon was especially called by Mr.
Koiner was what is known as the
shenandoah plan. He says Gen. Ma
hone was expecting letter on Monday
In which the time for holding con-

DEMOCRATS stick to your colors. II
Is musing to hear the store box poll
ticians who support the mongrel ticket,
fixed up by lot of negroes, republicans
and others for democrats to vote, pro-
claiming themselves democrats. That
is done to catch democratic votes. They
are sailing in vessel which has nailed
to the mast flag with the inscription
"We are not standing on the Demo-
cratic platform" "What in the thunder
has the National Democratic Commit
tee to do with u.s." and every few min
utes some small street corner politician
yells from the deck, to good old DEM
ocrat, "cOme with US, AN a good
Democrat" The game is too thin.---

Col. LAMB, a bogus ticket electol

Democratic committee as to the pro-

CARNATIONS. 1t is consistent with the
mixed ticket policy, denOunce all clubs

On the l7th Of September, ISIS.
the republicans of the 18th district
In Ohio opposed to the reelection
of Mr.. Ca ield met in convention
and adopted set OF resolutions,
among which were the following:
Resolved, That there is no man
to day officially connected with the
administration of our national gov
eminent against whom arc justly
preferred more or graver charges
of corruption than are publicly made
and abundantly sustained against
James a, Garfeld,the present repre-
sentative Of this Congressional dis
trict and the nominee of the repub-
lican convention for reelection.
Resolved, That we arraign him
for his corrupt connection with the
Credit Mobilier, for his false deni-
ais thereof, for his pepured denial
thereof before a committee of his
peers in Congress, for fraud upon
his constituents in circulat i II g
among them a pamphlet purporting
to set forth the findings OF said COM
mittee and the evidence against
him, when, in fact, portions there
of were omitted and garbled.
Resolved, That we further ar
raign and. charge him with cor
rupt bribery in selling his official
influence as Chairman of the Com
mittee or Appropriations to the
DeGoyler Pavement ring for So
900.
There were thirteen of these res
olutions of which the above are by
no means the strongest. but it
must be acknowledged they are
strong enough to deter many right
thinking men from voting for Mrs
Garfield. They were strong enough
at the time they were pas sed to
make his majority 1891 less tnan
that of the rest OF his ticket.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1880-09-08

Every intelligent and reasonable
man, not blinded by partisan preju-
dice, who has paid any attention to
the subject OF Mr.. Garfeld's con-
nection with the Credit Mobilier
fraud, must be convinced that the
republican candidate for the Presi-
dency cant show clean hands. New
ertheless Gen. Buffers summing
up of the evidence in that case is
so short and wlthal so conclusive,
that in spite of the charge OF itera-
ton to, which its republication sub
jects us we can't help reproducing, it
as follows;
"Was the money Mr.. Garfield
received loan or was it a dividend?
Now, the stock divided would ex-
actly amount to 1929 That pre-
else amount was very odd sum
for one man TO borrow of another,
unless the borrower had one dollar
more. and wanted to make up $500,
or, unless he had S21 more, and
wanted to make up $3.50. AS a
rule however. impecunious con-
don't run as near the wind

Gen. Sherman violently opposes 1t, and
threatens to break up the apartment Il
1t is done. The secretary Of war orders
II to be done. on the ground of econo-
my, and gives excellent reasons for his
position. Moreover. he is a bigger
man than William Tecumseh, and is

OF his death. Col. Henry Douglas, com.
