VIRGINIA LOST

The Richmond State has awakened to the
facts of the case in Virginia. 1t sounds a
very loud note of alarm in the following:
Our leaders are able and diligent, and our
canvassers active and bold, but the people, we
fear, are not secOnding them or supporting
them as they should in their efforts. There
seems to be something wanting. Either the
can vass on our side is too spiritless, or the
people are grown indifferent and supiney
wait the defeat they have not the manly vigor
to rise up and prevent. We would that some
thing might happen to awaken them from this
lethargy and arouse them TO q true sense OF
the dangers which threaten their very liberties;
for 1t is no idle warning we sound now when wo
tell the M that if defeated Mt tho polls in No.
vember they enslave themselves forever, past
all hope of redemption, to the very men whom
they most fear as masters. Tho victory of the
faction which is now carrying itself so proudly
throughout the state will be the death knell
of conservatism in Virginia, aud the state will
forever be given over to the lust and greed Of
tn ese men and their black allies.

votes from that party the third party was or.
ganized. The object was to divide the people g
party.
Q. Was such third party organized2
A. Yes sir
Q. Did you believe that Il was necessary to
the success of the democratic party
A. We certainly did or we should not have
given them the money.
O. What was tho third party called
A. Tho straight American party; the
"straight.outs.n
The same policy and tactics, as all know,
are yet practiced by the party by coalitions
and fusons, with this drawback, however,
that they cannot now, by corrupt means or
otherwise, draw the necessary funds from
the national treasury to carry out their un-
holy schemes. 1t is the same democratic
party, unchanged in principles and policy,
unaltered in prcjudices full of the same
old passions and unholy traditions with
the same old greed for spoils; less defiant
than of old because less secure, but more
artlul and designing, with more Of the fox
and less of the lion, that is seeking again
to worm its way into the confidence of the
American people, and thus roll back the
progress of the age and draw us back into
the bitter and drcary days that marked
their last possession of national power.
1t is the right and duty of every citizen
who values his country's honor and welfare
to sound the notes of alarm when danger is
impending; and the fact that the demo-
cratic party has begun again the battle for
political supremacy under false colors is
evidence per seorimpending danger. Every
patriot should be aroused to sense of his
duty--aroused like giant from his slum-
Der to beat back a crafty foe, and save his
country's honor, progress and free institu-
tions from the hands Of the spoilsmen,
They should no longer be deceived by false
issues or false colors.

AN ABORTIyE RULE.

The New York Commercial advertiser calls
attention TO the fact that the weekly bank
statements, rs made up at the clearing
house ofthat city by averages are worse than
useless as indications of the actual state of
the market. In the first place, the reports
are entirely voluntary and unofficial. They
can therefore be dOctored by the banks to
suit their views of the effect upon the mar
ket. Then some of the banks disregard
the clearinghouse rule against deposits OF
silver and silver certificates, and in count
ing such rs part of their reserve. II is a
standing insult to the government in that
its professed object is to compel repeal OF
the silver and double.standard act of 1873,
which the republican administration now
feel bound to carry TO o practical and per-
manent conclusion. The conclusion is that
the action of Mr. SHERMAN in allowing the
sub.treasurer to make his daily exchanges
through the clearinghouse has resulted in
loss TO the government, confusion in the
market and trouble to the inspectors The
rule against silver wns adopted to try 10
coerce congress into n repeal of the double
standard, and the acquiescence of Mr.
SHERMAN in such a course was not credit
able TO his sense of propriety. The effect
has been complete failure. Many of the
banks who joined in the attempt are now
receiving silver and silver notes MS readily
rs gold and greenbacks, and such notes are
as current rs any other form of currency
The result of the rule against the deposit
of silver has been TO bring the weekly bank
statement into contempt and TO exhibit tho
treasury of the United States in the atti
tude of a tail to the kite of few golt
manacs. The rule ought to be abolished
or the subtreasury should withdraw from
the clearinghouse It's acquiescence in al
abortiye attempt to override an act of con.
gress is scandal which should be abated

ticket, the TGLDEN men will have little in
terest in the fight They could not canvass
for HANCOCK without swelling the tri-
umph of Tammany mayor. The unity
between Irving Hall and Tammany is, in
the words of the New York Hcraid but
the mixing Of oil and water That the
World gathers little comfort from such har-
mony is evident when it buses its hope
upon the figures Of the vote for governor in
1879, instead of upon the vote for the state
ticket. The World points to the fact that
RoDTNsoNs and KELIY's vote combined
was 3i7sg larger than the vote for Con-
NELL This is totally ignoring the fact
that there was q split in the republican
ranks on governor almost ns decided as
that of the democrats upon ROBINSON. The
republican dissatisfaction with CORNELL
drew 1000 votes from him and added
them to ROBINSON. This Is shown by the
figures Of the vote for other state officers
The nominees of the two parties for lieu
tenant-governor comptroller treasurer and
attorney general were ptionable men,
personally and polticallyi they repre-
sented the strength of their respective par
ties so far rs it was brought out nt that
election. The average republican majority
for them was 310O Comparing the candi-
dates receiving the highest votes of their
respective parties the figures are WADs-
WORTH (republican), for comptroller,
AS, ,253 MAcKiS (democrat), for treasurer,
d33,ls5; highest republican over highest
democrat, 4,765.
At tho election of 1879, as in 1916 the
entire patronage of the state was in demo-
cratic hands, and it was unscrupulously
used to further its success and yet all
the fruits Of victory were gathered by the
republicans. But for the hostility to Gov
ernor CORNELL tho republican majority
over the democrats upon the entire state
ticket would not have fallen short of
10000.
This fall we have control of every de.
partment of the state and government
while the patronage of the cities Of Brook
lyn and New York is also largely in our
hands. We will be able 10 watch the bal
lot-box in those democratic strongholds and
keep the HANCOCK majority within reason
able bounds Decidedly the odds are in
our favor in the empire state.
Connecticut and New Jersey are so much
influenced by their great neighbor that
they rarely separate their political fortunes
from her OF the nutmeg state we can
speak with great confidence. In 1873 our
clear majority was 2,45l. In 1879 in vote
for senators this majority was increased.
We shall be bitterly disappointed if Con-
necticut does not give GARFIELD 5000 ma
jority and send a republican United States
senator to replace the copperhead EATON.
New Jersey offers few indications of po-
liiical activity so far in the campaign, and
the vote there will be very close We have
confidence that the tariff issue will bring
New jersey into the republican line.
This is the outlook to-day. Every day
has developed the unity and strength OF
the republican party, while the disinte-
grating influence of diverse interests and
principles has operated to divide and
distract the democracy. Ere another month
rolls around the HANCOCK boom will have
sunk to sullen intention of voting with
out hope on election day.

THE remark of jerry Black that "the head
of party was like the head of snake-it is
wagged by the body aud tail" is very hard on
Hancock.

THE Montgomery (Ala) Adrortiser says
that in Alabama, and we suppose in other
" states of the south, the denial of the right
"of secession has been incorporated in the
organic law of the state. No state will
ever again secede." Incorporated in the
organic law" by whom? The constitu-
tions under which the southern states were
reconstructed, and into which the denial OF
right to secede was incorporated, were
the work Of republicans. We undertake to
say that In every instance where the Or
ganic law of any southern state has been
changed since 1863 tho article defining the
relations of the state to the union has been
so weakened in its assertion of the su.
premacy of FEEDER al authority MS to leave
the door wide open to the broadest state
rights construction. No democratic south
ern constitutional convention has ever de-
MED the right of secession. When one does
ii will cease to be democratic.

to advance the necessary amount of money

and rolling stock, they only asking for
