Strange Time for "Change. -

Senator Conkling, in his great speech last
Friday in New York put the case tersely when
he met the Democratic cry for Change" as
follows
A triumphant Nationality-a regenerated
Constitution free Republican unbroken
couDtry-untarnishe credit-solvent finances
unparalleled prosperity-all these are ours
despite the policy and the efforts of the Dem
ocratic party
Along with the amazing Improvement in
National finances, we have amazing individual
thrift on every side. In every walk of life new
activity is felt. Labor, agriculture manufac-
lures, commerce, enterprise, and investments,
all are flourishing, content and hopeful. But
in the midst OF this harmony and encourage
nent comes a harsh discord crying, Give Us "a
change-a anything for a change" This is not
a bearing veal for "a change" Every other
crop is good, but not the crop of Change
that crop is good only when the rest are bad.
The country does not need or wish the change
proposed and the pressing invitation of our
Democratic friends is much like will you
walk into my parlor, said the spider to the
fly" A good natured but firm mo thank you"
will be the response at the polls.

1t is the grossest and baldest deception to
pretend that the ends Republicans have in

The only security for Republicans is tc

The Eighth and First Districts.

As will be seen from communication in
another taken from the National Repubi-
can, that the Republicans of the Eighth
and First Districts have gone to work in
the interest of the nominees of the party
that substantial harmony has been restored
in these two districts. If the Republicans
will unite their efforts, stop the foolish
and personal squabbles which have so Sc
they can elect the Republican candidates
in the Eighth and First Districts. Let them
take a lesson from their political opponents.
When nomination has been, effected with
them, they generally bury all differences,
and unite their endeavors to elect the nom
inee. 1t is not to be expected that every
body will be pleased at the action of Con-
venton. The pretenslons of somebody
have to be defeated, for that is what con-
vention means, and when a result has been
reached through legitimate methods it is
the duty of the constituent body to submit
to it. and aid in achieving the success of
the party at the polls. We want Republic
can votes in Congress, and even should a
nominee not be acceptable, the fact that he
will support the policy and principles of the
party, if elected, makes it important that
all who are Republicans from conviction,
should subordinate personal likes and dis
likes to the principles involved. 1t is es-
sential to the welfare of the country that
Republican Congress as well as Republi-
can President be chosen i'm November neXt.
The victory will not be half complete if
both objects are not accomplished, and to
that end we hope the Republicans of the
Districts named will act in harmony, and
exhaust all honorable means to elect the
Republican nominees.

We publish to-day a cali upon Ex-State
Senator W. p. Moseley, Of Goochand county
to announce himself as candidate for Con-
gress in this district. Mr. Moseley has respon-
ded, consenting to the use of his name for the
position in question, and promises to visit the
various portions of the district to meet the
people. He is a colored man of intelligence
and property, and stands well in his county,
where he is best known. While we were of the
opinion that the convention which met in Char
ted a candidate, but inasmuch as that course was
not adopted, we think it inadvisable for Re
publican at this time to announce himself. In
the first place, Mr.. Moseley will not receive the
united support of the party in this contest, be-
cause of the informality Of his announcement
and the confusion it will occasion by reason OF
committals Of Republicans to either one or the
other of the candidates in the field before he
declared himself candidate. The failure of
the convention to nominate candidate was
generally taken to be an Abandonment of the
purpose to contest the field on the part Of the
Republicans, and many, for that reason, have
settled in their minds to vote for one or the
other candidates. Further, Mr.. Moseley will
do injustice to himself by his candidacy, mas
much as in the present condition of party rea-
TONS he will fall short in his vote of the Re
publican strength as will be indicated by the
vote for the national ticket This will do him
more harm than good in the future because II
will show that he could not command his par
ty support Under the circumstances he can
not expect to be elected, and the only effect his
candidacy will have will be to confuse Repub-
licans, and probably lessen the vote for our
ion that Mr. Moseley's announcement is ill
advised, both as to himself and his party

The most brilliant political pageant ever
seen in this country was witnessed in Phila-
delphia last week. Over $4,000 Republicans
were in procession under the chief marshalslhp
of Gov. Hartranft. Senator Blaine and other
distinguished speakers addressed the immense
audience from different stands. And yet the

to the democrats will be fatal to them, while
the republicans can afford to lose it, and then

For the last

ously circulated in this county, 10 the
effect. that l should have said that l
was opposed TO the education Of rich
and poor children together or something
to that effect: A report which no sensi-

replied to this Infamous lie before, but
considered that it had nothing to do
with this canvass, but was a matter
personal to myself, and az l was not
seeking political pregerment for myself

But since the continual circulation OF
this malicious falsehood has pushed me
TO the verge of human endurance, |
brand it as an infamous lie, conceived
in the vile nest of Seventh of Juliansm.

personal vituperation aud villiicatlon'
