appointed chief secretary for Ireland to
succeed the murdered Lord Frederick
Cavendish, is the son of Sir Charles
Trevelyan, long prominent official in
the civil service of the United King

her children Lord Macaulay bequeathed
the bulk of his fortune. George Otto
Trevelyan was born in 1888, and was

HON. JOHN e. MAsSEY.-NO man ia
more conspicuous in State politics at
this time than the late First Auditor.
Malone, who for very small man has
cut quite considerable figure for some
time, having lost all bis influence with
any considerable body OF the voters, is
hanging on to prominence, as 1t were,
by the teeth; his chief claim to noto
riety being the necessity of his vote to
the Republican party in the Senate,
and the medium that the President has
been induced, for political reasons, to
make of him for the distribution of
Federal patronage in this State. Mas
sey, on the other hand, is the conspicu
GUS and prominent exponent of a public
sentiment, growing every day in inten
sity, against the power of BOSS" and
the despotlsm of cliques and caucuses.
In this attitude he deserves the good
will and applause Of every man of in-
dependence and patriotism in the coun-
try and the people have suffered SO
much from the rule of Mahone's fac
ton, and were in such deadly terror of
suffering so much more, from which
they have been rescued By the aid of
Mr.. Massey and his supporters, that
there is disposition to pool all other
differences. and to give TO Mr.. Massey
all the aid and comfort he may need In
whatever direction he may ask it, in
waging the war which he has SO boldly
declared against Malone and his allies
the staIwart red-shirt Republicans.
That Mr.. Massey is u skillful polite
clan no clan can doubt. and the effect
of his detection from the camp of Ma
honeism is perhaps mere marked than
any political movement in Virginia ever
was before in the same length of time.
What his intentions and those of his
friends are, have not yet been developed,
and all that is positively known is that,
come what will, "as for him and his
house" he has done with Malone for
ever. Whether he will so put himself
before the State as to command the con-
fGence and support Of the Democratic
party AMI anti. Guiteau Republicans, is

The City Primary.

It is very evident that the holding OF
q primary election by the Conservative
Democrats of Staunton does not set well
upon the political stomach of our Re-
publican cotemporary, and it was not
to be expected that it would nay, even,
we believe it was determined upon
without ever consulting its views or
asking it's advice. Moreover, 1t was
unanimously determined upon by one
of the largest and most representative
bodies of our citizens that has met IN
5taunton for some years, and our
Straightout. Coalition Readjuster cotem'
porary tries to belittle the meeting by
calling the three hundred voters who
formed it ''small-fry politicians.
If any Democrat has heretofore doubt
ed the propriety of holding a primary
election, the mere fact of the Vsrga'a-
aa,a's opposition to it should at once
convince him of its necessity. 1t is
very evident that the unanimous senti'
ment of the Democratic voters in favor
of primary has greatly disconnected
the secret plans of the Coalitionists, and
seeing their little game foiled, they
seek to ridicule the action of the Demo
Gratis, but it is very sickly attempt
and the smile that accompanies it il
marked by the pallor of defeat.
Therefore, be up and doing. fellow

harmonious action. Be not deceived
