Vermont is the greatest maple sugar
producing state in the Union. Its annual
yield is about 100000 pounds. worth

Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1880-07-16

Among the speakers who addressed that
convention Senator Paul said the people
cared little who was made President this
year, their interest being conferred on the
Governor in 1881, and another distinguish
ed speaker, Auditor Massey, said if he be-
ieyed the election of Garfield would con-
tribute most to Readjustcr success in 1881,
he would support Garfield, and these ex-
pressions had been the outgivings through
the Readjuster press before this convention
met. This is the convention, and the plat
form, SO to speak upon which the electoral
ticket headed by Senator Riddleberger is
put forward for the support Of the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia. If the printed senti-
ments of Messrs. Paul and Massey are cor
rectly reported then it would seem that
though the ticket is headed by Haneock's
name it's defeat by the Garfield ticket would
he in the eyes Of its trainers a matter of no
Importance whatever.
Further, the thinking Democratic voter,
who by this time should be satisfied in
which rank he as a member of the Nation
al Democratic party stands, must ask
himself what are the chances OF the
three tickets, if all are kept in the field.
MANY conscientious Democratic Bead
mister. as anxious for the success Of Han
cock as we are, may think that to keep TO-
eether the Readjuster organization he
must vote the Readjuster electoral ticket
headed by Mr.. Riddleberger may be delu-
ded into the belief that it will certainly
carry Virginia, and that after all his IA
vorite candidate will get the vote of Vir-
einia through his fayorite electoral ticket.
What has be to show for this belief, honest
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1880-07-16

the first business before the convention
Mr.. ii. FL. Harrison, of Clarke county,
moved to reconsider the vote by which
the electoral ticket recommended by the
business committee had been adopted
State Auditor Massey addressed the con-
vention, Mr.. Massey said he regarded the
question of the presidency as wholly Sc
condary to that Of the welfare of the Re-
adjusters' party. The more important is
sue before the convention was not the
debt issue, but the reformation of the
government Of Virginia. He pointed out
the advantages which the Republicans en-
joyed under the readjustment rule. which
they never enjoyed Before. He said that
within the last three weeks 1920, 600 of ar
rearag es due the school fund under the
funder rule had been paid off He pledged
the Readjusters' party to repeal the capt.
tation tax. If he believed the election of
Garfield and Arthur would convey more
to the success of the Readjusters in 1881
than the election of Hancock and English,
he would unhesitatlngly support the for
mer, but figures proved the reverse. In
1876 the Republicans cast 10000 votes.
Then there was no capitation tax. Last
year the Republicans cast but 43, 900 votes,
while the Conservatives polled 1O3, 900
votes. Mr.. Massey went on to show that
it was necessary for the party to support
the ticket that would bring the most votes,
and closed by an appeal for harmony, and
unity.
REPUBLICAN PROTESTS.
Mr.. Bass, Republican Of Richmond,
got the floor, and made an earnest appeal
for justice to the Republicans. UNLESS
Won do us Justice. y he said. Hyou cannot
elect your ticket.'' You must give us a
ticket with Republicans on it who will
vote for Garfield and Arthur" He spoke
to the point, and when Colonel Cameron
took the floor he was forced to reply di-
rectly to his argument, but he threw a
into the convention by charac-
terizing Bass appeal as defiance, Sy-
Readjuster, followed, and referred to the
fact that as far back as 1873 he was an
Anti Funder in the Assembly. If he was
with the party then be was now. He Of
fered resolution which he said embodied

A VALUABLE STONE PILE.
The Contract for Supplying our City.

AT the Rose Clare stone quarries,
situated on the Ohio river, some fifty
miles or more above Paducah, KY, is
found huge deposits of limestone,
suited for street paving and building
purposes. In It's primitive state it is
Of little value, the owners of the land
in that region permitting those who
wish to quarry it, to do so at a trihing
sum, say probably a dollar for one
thousand tons. The chief cost is the
labor, the transportation and the
handling at its starting point and
place of delivery. Nearly all of the
stone used at Ead's jettys in the South
pass Of the Mississippi river was
supplied from the Rose Clare
quarries, and the amount required
was enormous. Yesterday Captain
j.. Sharpe Mcdonald, of Pitts
bureh, the same who delivered the
Rose Clare stone at the j%etties, con-
tracted with the authorities here to
supply $35, 1000 worth of stone between
this and the first of June. Capt.
Mcdonald has numerous towboats and
barges adapted to stone transportation,
and his facilities to perform the work
with quick dispatch are complete in
every respect. The contract as closed
calls for 5000 cubic yards of common
ruble stone at $3.50 per yard 1900
cubic yards of stone for McAdam paw
ing work at $3.50 per yard and IL, 900
square yards of hard limestone for
paving work at S1.4O per square yard.
This material is all to be laid on our
public highways during the ensuing
spring and summer months.

FLORAL DISPLAY.
BY the w. Va. Natural HistOr-

Yesterday morning the floral display
OF the w. Va. Natural Historical Socie-
" was thrown open TO the public, and
during the day was very well patron
lied. 1t was well worth visit. The
lower story of ST. Johns church has
been transformed from a lecture room
to n conservatory, brilliant with bright
hued flowers, glittering with the living
green of the plants and grasses, fragrant
with their odors and every breath OF the
air, cool and refreshing.
Around the walls are terrace upon
terrace of ported plants, OF every hue
and description. In their midst might
be found representatives OF the flora oil
every cline. Here is the magnolia
grandihora OF the South, the Iractus OF
Mexico and the giant rubber plant oil
South America. Graceful ferns sparkle
in this corner and in that mods the state
ly calla-lily. There. are flowers that
bloom under every stoop and others
that YOU never saw before and don't
know the names of. There is the night
blooming cereus,
with here and there little brown star,
plain, modest and unassuming,
vet which suddenly blooms in such
beauty; and there is the centu-
~ plant, the unfolding buds OF which
mark three generations.
All these are there and many more,
and the large audience of last night
doubly enjoyed them all. Few are
they who have not warm admiration
for the 'stars of EARTH" which appeal
SO strongly to our sense OF the beautiful,
and those few are To be pitied.

AN ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.
A Beautiful Ohio Girl the Vic
tim of the Brutal Lust Of ~
Ouartette Of Ruffians.

FISDLAY, o., May l9.-On Tuesday
night George Hurdick, John Hines,
Ed. Conner and David Brender were ar.
rested on charges OF rape preferred by
Esther Wood, a comedy, but simple
minded girl, aged Is years, OF this
place. The details are Of the mos re-
voting character. The girl has been
employed in the family Of Mr.. Corwip.
On Sunday she visited her mother at
the Infirmary, returning to Findley in
the evening. Being unable to find her
employers house, owing to her bewil-
derment, she wandered through the
streets until she met the crowd named,
and, in answer TO her inquiry as Ia
where Mr.. Corwin lived, was told to ac-
company them and they would show
her his residence. She unsuspectingly
walked with them until the western
suburbs were reached, when becoming
alarmed she turned to come back 10
town. Conner, it is alleged, told her TO
accompany them or he would cut her
d heart out. Shaking with terror she
obeyed. She was taken to the rear OF a
tile factory, where she was kept until
midnight, during which time, it is al
legged, she was ravished eight times.
After the accomplishment of their hell
ish designs the rascals brought her
back TO the city, and she entered a
house and told her pitiful story in sobs
and tears.
