That banning Record"

Tho WIN has found mares nest II
nrovcs that JOINS w. DANIEL once Actually
,,ro,oaed in the Legislature that there
sho,,ld be levied by the state an addiuonai
Tax Of one mill on the dollar to be appfo-
rr,st.d wholly and exclusively TO thcsup-
nor, o. the public schools! Who would
have supposed that JONI W. DAS1EL had
ever been guilty Of such erime' Ana
how The friends Of the public schools VIII
cxecratc him.
But stay. Pcrhaps this black record may
gain voters for JoHS w. DANIEL. VINO
knowsg There arc many thoussnds OF
children m Virginia who desire 10 90 70
school, and who cannot do SO unless ihe
STATE provides FOR their education. ANA
these many thousands Of children nave
father. who are voters. Let as hear from
Them before we conclude that JOIN W.
D1xFL is irrctFievably ruined by tDe
WIGS exposure.
when we recolloct what CAMERON has
said about tie negroes, and see nine-tenthS
OF the negroes rallying to his support, we
have very good reason for supposing that
bad "records" can prevent neither the
nomination nor election Of anybody whom
the people delight to honor. JOHN W.
DANIEL is evidently man who cannot be
damaged by any charge which can be
brought against him. His popularity Is
wonderful. His speeches are inhnitable IN
style and manner lie is more magnetic than
BLAME. lie is the idol as well Of the popu-
lace as Of the best people in the community.
1t is useless 10 talk about his record. Ana
as to repeating what anybody else has SAID
about that record, Il is worse than waste
Of time to do so. join W. DANIEL dehes
all comer.
Let Us suppose, however, as the wing
evidently does, that there is much capital
10 he made ont Of what was said last year
by candidates and editors. If so, then
away 90 the Wing, CAMERON, LEWIS, BLAIR,
MALONE, and al the rest Of the tlt6e. Lot
us begin with the Wing. Here are some
OF its dclectable declarations Of last year.
We quote one:
Bah! The Dispatch is very ill-iniormed
il il really believes that lis Flnders intend
10 make a serious contest on election-day.
II they had ever supposed themselves
strong enough icr such a contest they
would never have sought . compromise.
That Is certain. We tell the Dispatch that
while VIC do not expect as great majority
rs $4,000. we feel that our majority over
the Flinders viii not lie less than $1,000.
We know that We are stronger than VIC
were last year, when our majority was 90

Commenting upon the above, we say in
the language Of Yesterdays Wing al you
did not know, what made you say soi
You did say So" There is TO qualification
whatever in the Why's words above
quoted.
"Records," quothal How does the fol-
lowing record read? We quote again:
Every man who votes the Funder ticket
in 1886 is forever disqualified for any Re
adjuster trust Mark him Put him on
the black list.-Richm0ad Wig, october
30. 1880.
All who arc not for us are against us.
Enemies now are 90 be scOmed forever as
friends. Readjuster now, or Rcadiustcr
never IVhig. October 80. 1850.
Keep your eye on political fieas who will
seek to iumpfrom Funderism TO Readlust-
ment next year. Wing, October 80, 1880.

ticket this year Wing, October 81, 1880.
1880 tests the Rtsdiusters Of 1879 and
$751; Wing, October 30, 1880.
Now, let us see what General MALONE
said last October. Perhaps his prophetic
"record" is better than the Whig's. Read
and see. Anew days before the election OF
last year, he sent out the following circu-
