Hon. John E. Massey.

The Winchester Times says that "the
Executive Committee of the Democrat
ic party have met in council with the
wisest and best informed Of its party
members, and have resolved that it is
wisest to have no convention, and make
no nomination, because in some other
way we can best defeat Bossim and
Stalwart Republicanism.
That other way is to support John +.
Massey as an Independent Democratic
candidate. Whether they are right or
wrong in this conclusion, it is neverthe-
less true now that if Bossism and Stall
wart Republicanism are to be beat at all
in Virginia it can only be done by vot-
ing for Massey. That he has opposed
US is true; that he has been the most
dangerous foe the party ever had is true
that we have said and thought many
hard things about Parson Massey is true
that it is rather rough on good many
of our prejudices to support him now IL

him in his views of the debt question II

question is not and cannot be involved
in this canvass that the widest stretcf
of Johnny Wise's newborn abhorrenc'
of States rights cannot give Congress
the right to.legislate on the debt ques

politics but belongs to the courts alone
that in the war against the Bosses al
good men should be allied that Masse.
and we are heart and soul opposed t
Grantism, Guiteauism and Lahoneism

VIII the People OF Virginia Endorse
Corrupt Bargain?

This is the question to be decided this
fall. Malone, after deceiving his own
adherents, has gone step farther in
infamy, bargaining away himself to

submit to such q wholesale plan of bar
gain and corruption? We opine not
1t is one thing for Malone to play trai-
tor to the principles he has heretofore
80 vociferously protested, but it is en-
tirely another thing for the Democracy
of Virginia to follow in his traitorous
tracks. He has bargained with Arthur,
for the patronage of few pitifui offices
in Virginia, to elect stalwart Republic
cans to Congress next fall. Will the
people of Virginia thus allow them
selves to be sold out? If not, they
must recognize the fact that the ap-
preaching contest. already begun, il
between Democracy and stalwart Re-
publicanism, between "Boss' rule (ol
One.man power) and the rule of the
people. Shall Malone say who shall
be the Congressman from Virginia, OF
shall the people say? 1t is a fght
against tyranny, (now called Bossism..

old Virginia will no longer endure the
heel of the tyrant on their necks, but ris'

tory this fall over the corrupt bargains
and Vaccinations of Malone with the

CHOOSING AND ABoLIsHING Con-
GREssMEN IN WAsH1NGToN.-The re-
suit reached by the dominant party in
Congress in unseating Tillman, of
South Carolina. Democrat, in favor Of
Smalls, colored Republican, says the
Baltimore Sun, is not one upon which
the thoughtful patriot will look with
favor. The Republican quorum is in
creased, it is true, and notable partisan
advantage is gained. But the means
employed will not bear examination
Smalls was not seated without an un-
precedented and partisan act on the part
of Speaker Keifer, this officer. in order
to make quorum, casting vote after
the roll call had been completed and the
final result announced. Even Mr..
Calkins, chairman of the committee on
elections, who has championed all the
previous partisan judgments of the
majority on contested elections cases,
was unable to see that Smalls was en-
titled to the seat given him, and voted,
as he said, "conscientiously" against
admitted him to the floor of Congress.
If possible, the action of the House
Thursday in depriving Gen. Shelley, Of
Alabama, of his seat was more fragrant
than the expulsion of Mr.. Fillman. Gen.
Shelley was returned by large major
ity over his Republican opponent, Judge
Smith, and the charges of intimidation
and irregularity were of the flimsiest
character. About the time that the
partisan majority of the elections com
mittee decided to oust Gen. Shelley the
contestant, Smith, died, and as the reg.
ularly returned member has been GUST.
ed, Alabama is deprived of that full rep
resentation in Congress to which she is
entitled. Ex-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsyl-
vania, made strong appeal to the Re-
publicans not to perpetrate this outrage
on sovereign State, but the appeal waa
unheeded, and partisanship scored
another triumph over right and justice

Massey or WIse-The Contrast.

Some Democrats say they won't vote
for Massey because he was the father
of readjustment. Why, then, should
they vote for Wise, who is merely 9
son of feadjustment, and recanted his
Wanted Democracy only when he saw
a chance for office.
Massey says he has always been
Democrat and is now Democrat. Wise
is an officesholder at the hands of Ar
thur and Malone, and would vote with
the Republicans if elected.
Massey was an Auditor true to his
trust, and would still hold that office
had he yielded to the corrupt PROPOSE
tions of Malone. Wise, for the sake Of
office, has betrayed the principles Of
his honored sire, and is mere minion
of Malone.
Massey has been consistent to his
avowed principles-Wise has not.
Wher readjusstment of the debt had
been s6complished., Massey refused office
under fhe >dictation of q Boss. Wise,
on the contrary, got the only office he
ever held under Malone after the read
justment had been made.
Massey is Democrat Wise is stall
wart Republican.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1882-07-25

The fact that Massey is opposed by
the Republicans is sufficient reason why
the Democrats, whether Funders or
Readjusters, should give him their
united support. The Democrats, whether
Readjusters or Funders, should, under
the circumstances, give Massey q cor
dial support, for he is a Democrat and
not Republican.
