OCTOBER 81, 1881.
As the Sth OF November approaches the
ewes Of the State are turned with eager in
terest towards the far-famcd and lovely
valley OF the Shenandoah. Hitherto this
great section OF the State was almost solid
almost a unit-in favor OF Democratic
principles. Now, however, the people are
split up and divided and SuE-dlyidcd, 80
that il IS difficult to predict with certainty
what will be the precise result Of the COM
ing struggle. \ careful survey OF the stu
alton leads can old Stager" 10 these con-
illusions: The tide once against us is SET
ting in clearly in favor OF the Democratic
state ticket. Our Rockingham canvaSsers
all concur in stating that our people are
becoming thoroughly aroused, and that the
Democratic vote will be increased and
brought to the polls. Hitherto, and up 90
a short time ago, the Democracy OF gallant
PAGE, once "the right wing Of the Tenth
LEGION" have been regarded as hOpelessly
in the meshes OF the net OF =" the Boss ;"
who haG betrayed and who proposed TO de
liver them, "bag and baggage" "horse,
foot, and dragoon," into the camp and
hands OF the Republicans. Now L" a change
is coming over the spirit OF their DREAM"
and they are preparing to align Themselves
with their old friends and take their former
places at the front in the coming political
conflict. As one OF the signs Of the times
in Page, we give the following upon the
responsibility OF good and true Democrat,
who is q member OF the club to which refer
ence is made: At one precinct in this cOun-
ty there is flOurishing Daniel club OF $50
members, two thir Of whom are Reid
busters, and who honestly voted the 7th-oi-
July Readjustcr Hancock mo, not Han
cock, but the fraudulent II. II. Riddle
berger s. Co.'S ticket. They were then and
are now all Democrats, and beg TO be eX-
cused from being included in "Boss" Ma
hone & Co.'s coalition TO destroy the Demo-
cratic party and hand over the old state.
bound hand and foot TO the Republicans
and the control Of the cOlorcd folks.
At Mount Jackson, in Shenandoah coun-
ty, the same sort OF change is said to be
going on. At this precinct quite a number
Of Democratic ReSdiusters who voted the
7tll-0f-J uly ticket have also quit and joined
the Daniel Club. We have other cheering
information from other parts Of Mr. Rid
dlcbergeT's stamping-ground, which will
be developed in due time.
SO, all things considered, our brethren
may look for very fair showing from this
portion OF the State.
In digging under floor in a wareroom,
in this place, on Saturday morning, the
skeleton OF human being was found in q
poplar box, in comparatively good state
OF preservation. How or when, or by
whom, the remains were placed there, 10
one can tell; and the discovery is a matter
OF some talk and excitement.
A fatal accident occurred at the depot OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad here on
Saturday evening lust about a quarter after
7 O'Clock, by which w. l.. Radlcy, a brake
man on one of the freight trains on the
road, was so Greadflly crushed that death
resulted in about three hours. lie at
tempted to Jump from ore car to another,
when he fell between the ears, which
passed over him, crushing TO IN insonslble
mass both thighs and part OF one OF his
hips. He suffered eXcruciating anguish
until death relieved him, begging in his
delirium and mortal agony for the removal
OF the train from his legs. His remains
were sent by special train on Sunday morn
ing 10 his widow, who resides in Loud0un
county, Va, near Ilarpers Ferry, whose
first Intelligence OF her loss was the sight
OF the dead body Of her late husband.
