JoHSDAEIEL is the tribune OF the peo-
pie. Whatever else anybody may say OF
him, nobody will deny that be is one OF
tae finest orators in the United States. His
fame is ccextenslye with the Union. In the
Cincinnati Convention be was the observed
O. sli observers, and the attentions he re-
ceiyed there and elsewhere in the Union
last tall during the campaign for President
were such as might have turned the bead
OF smaller man. We have had never a

Sir, BARB0uR'S IS Z historic name in Viz
gaia. He makes a sacrifice in conserving
10 run for Lieutenant-Go He proved
his patriotism by throwing aside all selfish
considerations and taking in his hands the
standard offered to him by his counlrymen.
His name will add greatly to the strength Of
the ticket all over Virginia. We are IN
elined to think that it will rally the Demo-
Gratis west OF the Blue Ridge as well as the
most popular OF their own statesmen could
have done If. His popularity he has won
bg exhibiting the traits Of true statesman
And PHIL. MCKISNEY, the candidate Tor
A'iorney.Geueral, what shall we say OIL
him? We voted for him to be Governor,
though he was not in nominatiOn-one OF
the few who did 40. OF course, then, 1t Is
not necessary for Us to say that we heartily
approve OF bis nomination as Attorney
General. His name is tower OF strength
ali over the Commonwealth. The people
OF every seolion know him. They have
heard him speak. 1t was graceful act in
Mr.. KELLEY TO decline TO run against Mr.
McKIYNsY. Let MIR. KELLEY receive his
due need Of praise for his generous action.
Altogether, then, as Mr.. KELLEY said in bis
speech Yesterday. we are organized f9r
victory" and will show the Mahoniies HeXt
fall that the "whie men OF Virginia will
Tepudiate neither their debts nor their
race" Now sound the bugles and let the
battle begin.
