AN APPEAL TO CONSERVATIVES I

WVnA
70 The Conservative Democracy of Au-
gslstG and Statnt0n.
As you did me the honor, through the
unanimous voice Of your Convention,
to make me one Of your candidates for
the Legislature, I trust you will not
consider me presumptious In urging
upon you the duty and the necessity OF
untiring eKertion, II you would win q
victory such a. will rebound to your
honor, and meet the expectations OF our
Party throughout the State. All eyes
look to Augusta to lead the victorious
column for Daniel, Barbour, and Nc
Kinney.
have, during this canvass, visited
Rockingham, Shenandoah. and Frede-
rick and have been gladdened by the en-
thusiasm which animates the Conser-
vative Democracy in each Of these
counties. They are all thoroughly
AROUSED, their forces are fully marshaled,
their watch.fires are lighted on every
hill, there are NO sluggards in their
camps, they are intent on winning, and
on winning gloriously, In this most
momentous political struggle in which
Virginians have ever3 been engaged.
Stanton is wide awake; how IL IL with
Augusta? You have 1t in your power
to roll up q majority Of from fifteen
hundred to two thousand, II you will
only be unsparing in your exertions
during the next week. Your faithful
and energetic superintendent, Capt.
James Bumgardner, jr., has done all
that any man could do to perfect the
organization Of the party. Very many
on whom he has called have done the
work assigned them, but II all have

and do their whole duty. Let every
able bodied Conservative Democrat, In
the County feel that 1t rests on him to
see that all his neighbors, Of his faith,
are at the polls on the day Of election,
November 9Th. Let hing atir up the neg
ligept and careless W 8 sense Of the i'm
portsnce OF the Issues Involved, and so
arrange that every Conservative vote In
his neighborhood shall be cast on cleo :

II is something far higher than mere

nEPuBL1CAn q. .. SENATOR.

AZ stated in another article, 1.-THE Ma
hone party is under pledge, ifthey sue
ceed in carrying = majority of the Leg
islature, to elect q Republican o.. 8.
Senator. This is confirmed by the fact
that Judge Alex. Rives, as long ago ~
September the 2Sth, in letter to Presi-
dent Arthur, wrote to him - follows -
"His ExceNency President arthur:
MY Dear Sir,-I am confident you are
properly informed Of the exigencies Of
our canvass in this State, to which and
other Republicans look with much con-
fldence for the overthrow Of Bourbon.
ism and the gain of Republican in the
United States Senate. This result will
be ensured II the movement shall re-
ceive the countenance and aid Of your
administration"
Since then President Arthur has
thrown the whole influence of bis ad-
ministration in behalf of the Malone
ticket. How can any Democratic Re
adjuster under these circumstances any
longer act with tho Malone party7 II
il to all intents and purposes now Re
publican party, the object OF which II to
turn Virginia over to the rule Of that
party. This is why the candidates for
the Legislature of the Malone party,
not only in this, but in Rockingham
and other counties, refuge to answer
whether or not they will vote for . Re
publican for U. 8. Senator. 9
"Handy" tslegraphs to the State un.
der date of Oct. 18th as follows -
"Rives's letter IL construed by thu
Democratic SENATOR to mean that
there is an understanding between the
Republicans and Readjusters that Re
publican United States Senator shall be
elected If the Administration gives I'M
qualified support to the coalition"
Of course It means that, and that Il
why the Republican Administration II
using all its influence to secure the sue
cess Of the the Malone party. That il
why every Federal ofiace-holder Is made
to support that party or lose his Office
and why they have been assessed t.
raise money to pay the poll-tax Of tn
negroes.

REPUBLICAN AND MALONE PARTIES
The Washington Correspondent Of
the Bait. Sun says that Ex-P Postmaster
General Jewell, of Connecticut, chair
man of the national republican commit.
tee, was in Washington Wednesday and
was in consultation with Gen. Mohone
and other prominent Virginia Radius
ters. Mr.. Jewell expressed himself as
in hearty sympathy with the readius-
ter party, but said there was no necessi-
ty for the national COMMITTEES to take
any formal action, as the President had
assured him this morning that the adj
ministration would do everything In its
power to aid the readjusters. The Pres
ident had ordered the removal Of one
of the foremen at the Norfolk navy
yard, q we'll known republican, because
he was charged to have been instfu-
mental.in bresking up readjuster meet
ing"
In view of the above, how can any
Democrat vote for the candidates Of tho
Malone party? Every such vote Is q
vote for the Republican party.
The mask has fallen of, and the true
character of that party ID now plainly
revealed.

too much respect for his oath to
violate it by approving any bill
clearly in violation OF the constltu'
ton which he has sworn to support;
and hence the bill falls. In such
case. districts remain as during the
last five years, for another year at
least, when it is to be determined
whether any new apportlonment
can he made until after the State
census Of 1885. The constitution
uncquivocally says that the Legis,
lature shall at the FIRST session after
each enumeration Of inhabitants by
the State or United States apportion
and district anew the members OF
the Senate and Assembly. Having
failed to apportion this year as
commanded by the constitution, it
is a mootcd question whether it can
be done at any other time. On the
whole we are in fearful middle,
the effects Of which it is hard to
predict.
So far as its immediate effect
locally is concerned we are rather
pleased that the bin failed, and that
the main cause Of its failure comes
SO near home. The omission Of
Ridgeway may be reasonably
accounted for as a result Of Rich
land comfy representatives assum-
ing to dictate the formation of Iowa
county districts, and being untimilar
with the territory they insisted up
on carving, actually didn't know
but they had it all right. If Iowa
county members and people were
given little more consideration by
the committee, and Richl0ud had
been content with attending to her
own affairs only, the blun1er would
have been avoided.

Calves From the East.

Fully $1,000 to 10000 calves have
come from the East and been dis.
trihuted throughout our western
country during the past three months,
over seven hundred cars of bawlers
so lI. and they are still coming lib.
orally. Each year there has been
more or less demand for stock calves,
and 4 few hundred head have changed
hands annually. but this has been
the banner calf year, and the total ar.
rivals here will probably not fall short
OF $4,000 head. or l 900 cars, as they
average about fifty to the car. Calves
from New York have been taken out
into Nebraska, and when ready for
the block will probably find their
way back to their native State.

qucntly observed in forests. A few
years ago some Michigan lumbermcn
discovered a chain link protruding thro'
the bark of Il tree, and in cutting it out
traced its continuance to steel trap
which was thoroughly imbedded out of

the trustees of an old burying ground in
New Jersey, while removing the growth
of large timber. the falling of whose
branches frequently broke valuable
monuments, were engaged in removing
a large willow which had diameter of
over five feet. Digging deep among
the roots, two footstoncs were found
completely envclopcd and held fast by
the roots which had grown about them,
while in saving off the trunk about
three feet above the ground, at depth
of fifteen inches the saw struck hard
substance, and on stopping to loosen it,
a footstonc was discovered fully imbed-
ded in the solid wood.

The Brule and Yanktonais Sioux

The Sansarc Minneconjous and Two
