LEXINGTON, VA, September 5.-There
were about three thousand people here to-
dav to listen TO Cameron and Daniel, The
candidates OF the respective parties for
Governor. Cameron il no match for Daniel
on the stump. He is pleasant speaker and
a durable.looking man. Charlie Doolitlle
is stout likeness OF Cameron. This was
Reajuster county, one Of the stronebolds OF
Mahoneism, and Cameron received an Oya-
lion. lie appeared under the most favora-
BILE circumstances. The crowd cheered
him to The echo on his appearance on the
stage. He had the seud.Of on Daniel. lie
said that be did not appear as Democrat
or Republican, aud in my judgment this
declaration hes killed him politically IN Nir-
ginia. lie appeared as a Readjuster, and
politics had nothing TO do with the canvass.
Cameron's peroration was desdiall on his
supporters. When D9niel appeared cheer
after cheer went up from the hearts OF both
sides. He is strikiDgly handsome, looks
like Roman orator in the forum, and bore
himself for nearly two hours as the hnest
orator ever beard. He went straight to
the hearts Of the people, scared above
Cameron like an eagle, and carried the peo-
pie with him. Readiusterism aud repudia'
lion are dead in Virginia. Daniel viii csr-

The Capitation Tax.

The capitaiion tax Is not fixed at one dol
lar by the Constitution, as some Of our South.
western Virginia contemporaries have as
serted. The Constitution fixes the capita
tion tax at not more than one dollar. The
last Legislature could have reduced that tax
to FIVE cents year II they had chosen to DO
so-that l., II Governor HOLIDAY had been
willing, as he was so far as they knew. All
any rate, they passed the RIDDLEBERGRR bill
lust 10 get q vetoed, or at least knowing
as well as they could without asking the
Governor himself that be would veto il; but
they did not pass any bill toreduce the capt.
tation tax.
We have exposed The Rtadiuster hum
buggery on the subject OF the capilatlon
tax sooilen that it would seem to be almosi
useless to say anything mere on the subject.
We months ago reproduced Jadge CooLEY's
dlcrum tina. it is a constitutional tax SO lar
as the Federal Constitution Is concerned.
But the R,adiusler platform declares 1t to
be an unconstitutional tax, and yet asks the
people TO vote il out Of our State Constitu-
zion, when Judge HUGHES or Judge RIyEs
could strike II out in five minutes II II
really Is yIolative OF the Federal Conslitu-
ton. Those points We presented months
ago.
The LAST story is that the capitation tax Is
10 be raised 10 five dollars by the Demo-
ciais--a most absurd story. This Fupder
city OF Richmond gave & majority against a
capltaslon tax OF one dollar, and would
probably give an almost unanimous vote
against capilation tax OF i've dollars. In
fact, the charge is without even shadow OF
foundation In fact.

Senator JOHNSTON spoke at Newbern on
the 5lb, and will speak Of Wytheyille on
Monday next. A number Of leading citi-
zens who heard him have written The sena-
tor for a copy Of his Newbern speech for
publication. He is so careful as to facts
and his speeches are so full Of strong argu'
menf, that we are assured that this one VIII
make most valuable campaign document.
His published speech Of 1879 was a strong
presentation OF our case in that campaign,
and did excellent service for our cause.
Senator JOHNSTON has accepted invitations
to speak at Charlotte and Cumberland

virginia Politics from n Washington
Standpoint.

Standpoint.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandria Gazette says:
Intelligence here from Virginia is to the
effect that prospects OF Democratic success
were never brighter, and that people are
taking interest In the election who for
years past have paid no attention to politics.
Mr.. Trigg's decinaton OF the senatorial
nomination in the Southwest was induced
on account Of bad health, but SINNERS, an
antitMahoneite, has taken his place, and
will probably DC elected. The MahoDeites
tried to capture the Republicans Of the
Falls Church district, in Fairfax county,
Saturday night, but utterly failed. IL was
understood at the Lynchburg Convention
that in the counties In which the Republic
cans were stronger than the Mahoneites the
former should name the candidates for the
Legislature, but though the latter are in a
large msiOrity in Fairfax county, they at
tempted TO make the former accept Mr..
Farr as their nominee. This effort, so far
as Falls Church is concerned, met with a
disastrous failure last Saturday night, and O
strong Coalition Republican from there
told the Gazette's correspondent that even
II Farr got The nomination now many Re-
publicsns would not support him.

The Outlook In the Southwest.

lfredericksbuTg Star.J
We have Just returned from an extended
trip through Southwest Yirginia. We met
and conyersed with leading Democrats,
Mahonelies, and Siraishtout Republicans.
After mature considerations OF the Views
expressed by representatives OF each OF
the parties aforementioned, and from per-
sonal observation, We candidly believe
that the Democratic vote in November
next will be much larger throughout
the Southwest than that east last fail for
Hancock and English, and that The
Democrats will gain representatives,, IN
the Senate and House OF Delegates. We
found the Democrats enthusiastic and san
guine. MabOnites were not very enihusi-
astic, but hopeful, and the Straightout he.
publicans predict an overwhelming defeat
OF the Ccalltionsls. The situation forclbly
reminds Us of Dir. Riddlebergers predic.
ton In the convention that nomin1ted
Cameron, Lewis. and Blair, when be de-
csred &" That il The Convention places John
f. Lewis on the ticket 1t will not carry a
county west OF the Blue Ridge Il ana u
really looks like Riddeberger's prophecy
will be literally fulfilled.
