Men ususlly content TO cast silent votes ana

xci.yc members Of the party, we nnd' sfe
NOW aroused and claim 10 be put on imme-
diste duty. This 10 not so In one couoy
s,ene. but is true OF counties all over 'ne
stste. The CONSEQUENCE Is inst the fe''reu

xestsrday we met virginisn who has Deen

e,,hns,as,,e as when he csnyassed 10 ~
and "a He said: 81 have been 10
Che Virginia springs and to q number OF
Piedmont and Valley counties recently, and
hsye purposeIy talked 70 hundreds OF
people on the cars and at their homes
ip reference to the campaign, and | ma
The finest spirit prevailing. The TACT 49,
said he. "tbat Trey al believe our ticket

auave Won encountered many despondent
Democrats In your travels :" we ssked, and
he replied, Only one, and be was Rich
mond dyspeptic, who is prone TO look at
the dark side OF everything"
Just what this venerable Virginian says
we learn from multitude Of Others orally
and by letter. II shows that The people are
40 frame Of mind TO gain ssplendld VIC
tory for DAyIEL, BARBOUR, and MCKINNEY
and our Candidates for the Legislature.
Chat they may do this, LET our State Com
mittees throw open the waive and give the
creates. possible speed to the good work
lie, them inaugurste everywhere thorough
and complete organization, and let them
infuse life and yIgor into county organizs-
lions.
Let every county superintendent become
a hero. aud utilize every working and speak
ing Democrat within his Jurisdiction. Let
there be jealous rivalry between them, Tor
he who does the most, remember, will de-
serve most Of bis party and State after NO
ycmber. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT speed viii
not do for either our managers or our speak
ers 10 this fight, for they must travel ON
fsst.mail time. Our men in the ranks must
fire 20 toy-cartridges, but every ballot must
strike in the very heart Of the coalition.
We lost 10 for want OF organization
and work. We bad victory then IN
cur hands, and threw II ss recklessiy
away as did HANSIBAL empire when be
fingered in the luxurious metropolis OF
Cannauia. We can all see now how
little more work aud energy would have
saved ms enough counties In ~ 10
have prevented WILLIAM hAHoNB from
going 10 the United States Senate, snd
MlssIY 4 Co. from occupying offices In
The State Capitol. We must now learn
profitable lesson from that campaign, ana
do more even than we did In 1880.
The people are ready 10 be led, and the
leaders mus, step with aiacrity to the front.
Let each Democrat who has been given posi-
tiou by the party, either as committeeman or
canyasser, ask himself II be is doing his duty.
II he finds be is not, let him either COM
mence TO do it in no Iaggard spirit or sur
render the important trust to some one who
will work as one should work for the SAWS
tion Of Virginia.
