Dprine all this time it was rare case ior

ou,rages perpetrated IN eanetimonious Ne"

Of white men In Massachusetts, and Rhode

that although the population OF Rhode

This is in part due TO the discrimination

what the Papers say Of Our Nominees
and Platform.

The Boston Post truly says: 4" 1t would
be difficult 10 frame platform more peril
peDt, patriotic, or exhaustive than that put
forth by the Virginia Democracy, aud 1t is
admirably drawn. Besides its stIaighlfor-
ward pledge OF devotion to public honor and
GOOD faith n respects the debt, 1t indignant
ly deuounces all allegations, from whatever
source, that the Democrats have been, are
now, or ever will be opposed TO an honest
ballot. There seems TO be netting left TO
Malone, except reliance on patronage ana

that city remarks: 1t tells atae and points
TO one truth, John w. Daniel is popular
man. The people love him, because be IS
worthy in every sense OF the term OF thelr
love, and the people, as people, never err
in their estimate OF man."
The New York Express says: Can
agree with Truth that the Democratic ticket
i'm Virginia is weak, and that its platform Is
mass OF pIatitudes. John W. Daniel Is
one OF the purest men, the most eloquent
speakers, and the most respected cllzens OF
Virginia. He stands on record that can
not be impugned in any respect. His NOM
ination is pledge that the party means
lust what il says in IFS declaration OF prln-
ciples. They are his principles, and they
show the progress the South has made since
the war. The issue in Virginia Is between
honesty aud robbery, honor and lnfamy.

The Staunlon Spectator says that they are
in every respect worthy OF the support OF
every true son Of Virginia, and deserve TO
be triumphantly elected over the Coalition

The Lynchburg Virginion published at

"NOthing could better illustrate the ami.
mus Of the Malone leaders than their per-
sistent Misrepresentation Of MsiOr TaniePs
nosition on the free school question. In
charging him with being opposed 10 free
schools now or at any other time they will
fully aud maliciouSly state what they know
to be false. We have heard him express bis
views (and 50 have they on the subject both
Ia private and in public. and know that
there is not.a fiTmer believer In, or more
ardent supporter OF, the system III the State
than he. His address to the High'School
graduating class Of this city, In June last,
was a mastery and unanswersble defence OF
our public school system. II Major Daniel
has enemies, whether private or political,
they are to be found where they belong,
either among free-school haters or repudia-

rNew York Dispatch, Adminisirauon'J
The Democrats OF Virginia have made
most iudlcIous choice In nominating Jonn
| w. Daniel for Governor. He Il man OF
ability. honorable and honest. He believes
I Thoroughly In paying every dollar tnat the
State owes. A few years ago be MADE q
speech in the State Senate In which ne sald
\ that ne would born down every scnool-
house sooner than rob the creditors OF Tue
State 10 maintain the sehool-house!' VI
course, this was carrying bis IDEAS OF nom
esty TO the extremity, but we can admire
public man who somewhat tears passion 10
| taiters i'm q Just cause. We congratulate
the Democracy OF Virginia on having cD0'
sen as their standard'bearer man VINO has
convictions and will stand by them, no mat
| ter what the result.
OF late wears IL has been too common for
both parties TO palter with The rIght-to
make expediency superior to principle.
The natural effect OF this Is TO lower the
people's ideas Of right and wrong, to make
them think that they are doing no wrong
when they cheat public creditors, aud that
they are a very upright community when
tthey ply an honest debt OF 300 wit SlO
bill. This is entirely wrong. The leaders
should be compelled to stand by that when
is right, no matter what may be the c0nse-
dnences-- whether victory or defeat. Wnen
tue leaders OF parties get to understand tnat
the people want to do right they VIII not
appeal to their baser but TO their higher
feelings. II Is the mark Ofthe ignoble poll'
tIcian when he acts the demagogue, not the
statesman.
We think General Malone the dema.
gogue, aud Major Daniel the statesman.
Malone takes up wrong prlnclple-tnal
of cheating creditors OF certain percentage
OF the money they have loaned while
Daniel represents the payment OF every
dollar the State OF Virginia owes. We
would prefer to be defeated in supporting
Msior Daniel 10 winning as supporters OF
Mahone's candidate. And though we have
no affiliations with the Democracy whom
Daniel represents. and have all sympathy
with the new and liberal Democracy OF Ma
hone, we cannot hut desire the success OF
those who plant themselves upon the plain
platform Of "ThOu shalt not steal" We
think the Republicans OF Virginia are
wrong in allying themselves with the Re-
adjuslers, which means nothing but stealing
a certain amount OF the money which has
been lent to the State Of Virginia on lis
honor.

Jergcnsen Exhibits the Pudden Tick
cts al Lyuchburg.

The Baltimore Americdp'S Lynchbure
special says Congressman Jorgeusen has
in his possession an assortment OF tissue
ballots ard "pudden" tickets used in Ma
homes district when he was chairman OF
the Democratic District Committee. The
presidential ticket OF 1876, which Is sam
Die. is one and half inches long and half an
inch vide. IL contains the names OF Hayes
and Wheeler on top, and the names OF
Democratic electors in the smallest kind OF
type under them. Other tickets used un-
der Mahone's regime at other elections,
are also being exhibited, and Mr. Jor'
gcnsen says be IS not willing to trust his
political liberty with one under whose
boss.ship such things have prevailed. Came
ron, the Readiuster candidate for Governor,
is looked upon by the StraightoutS as one
OF the most bitter Democratic partislns,
and they think that his election would be a
calamity 10 the Republicans. Some years
ago he did his best to have law passed de-
priying the Petersburg people OF the bene-
fits OF eleciing their own officers, and vest.
ing their appointment in the Governor.
The only reason he advanced for it was that
Petersburg was a Republican city, and
elected Republican officials. They score 10
endorse such man.
