Hon. R. A. Coghill, Hon. Absalom
Koiner, Hon. J. R. Tucker, Hon. John
S. Barbour, Hon. Paul Edmunds, and,
we think, almost every member of the
General Assembly, are of opinion that
Mr. Massey ought to be voted for by the
Democrats OF Virginia for congressman
at large. Are all these mel misled p
Richmond Disp atch.
They may not be, but would it not be
well to assemble in State Convention
Representatives from all parts of the
State, and let them determine whether
or not Massey is the man to succeed. If
such convention so determines, no
Democrat would be justified in falling
to support him, as there would be no in
consistency in voting for Massey, a
Democrat, in preference to John s. Wise
who will vote with the Republicans, as
the debt question has nothing to do with
election for Congressman.

THE PRESENT IssUE.-The issue in
the coming campaign is already clearly
defined 1t is this: Shall Virginia oe
handed over by corrupt and unprin-
cipled Boss to the Stalwart Radical wing
of the Republican party, or shall she hold
fast to the Democratic party that has
saved her from ruin?
The debt question no longer divides
the people and will never again be an
issue in our elections.

petuate their power? In a word, are
you opposed to Mahoneisma, which means
all that is vile, corrupt and abominable

sustained tone than he had used at any
time during his trial. Then bending
himself slightly forward, as if instinct
lively as if to draw his hands from their
bonds behind him and use them to ges-
ticulate in enforcing his statement, he
said: II have no enmity. To show
how I feel I will read poem which 1

Here Guiteau's voice failed and he bow
ed his head and broke into sobs. But
he rallied little and went on with his
chant
IT saved my party and my land,

But they have murdered me for 1t,
And that is the reason I am going to the

During the first stage his voice kept
an even flow. In the second tremol
was manifest, but before he closed his
voice faltered and sank into aquavering,
childish cry, dwelling on glory. Dr.
Hicks then gave the benediction, "God
be with thee and give thee peace forever

Robtert Strong came from behind Gui'
teau, drawing the black cap from his
pocket as he did so, and passed it over
Guiteau's face. just then Guiteau cried
"Glory Glory!"
THE END.

the hands and shudder, and the IMAM

end of the gallows' rope. In short
time the body was lowered and exam

For that matter the tail seems the most
threatening. II might suddenly take no.

the astronomers say, that part of the tail has

awful. Speaking of the American astrono-

these astronomers have abundantly demon
strated that they don't know anything about
comets-what they are made eff, where they
came from or where they are going to. The
comets that they predict never show up, and
the ones that do go on exhibition are rs
much of a surprise TO astronomers as to the
average school boy. Why comet always
carries it, tail away from the sun or what
either its head or tail consists of, they never
pretend TO tell. They are all the time telling
how some comet is going to plunge into the
sun, but in six thousand years no such trick
has occurred that any body knows of. We
would incline more TO the belief that the
present startling wonder had emerged from,
or had been thrown out of the sun than that
it was going into the sun. When first DIS

TEE courrr SUNDAY SCHOOL cosvrsrros.

The county Sunday school convention was
conducted by Prof W. f. sherwin, of Gin.
clnnatti. Ohio, and opened at $3.50 Monday
morning with an attendance of twenty-five,
which steadily increased until noon, when
about 100 were present, something more
than this being the average attendance dur
ing the day sessions. the evening audiences
being about 200.
At the beginning OF the convention the
conductor impressed upon those assembled
the Importance Of the devotional element in
conventions, and throughout the whole con-
vention he steadily aimed to keep all hearts
in a warm devotional frame. This was a
marked and highly appreciated feature OF
the convention which contributed greatly
toward its success.
The singing as was 10 be expected under
Chautnuqua's Musical Director was exccp-
tionaliy good. The conductor took special
pains TO enforce the idea that good singing
in religious meetings consists chiefly in the
true Interpretation of the thought in the
hymn sung, and not in fine voice or skIful
| execution. Words were explained, thoughts
emphasized at the beginning, middle or end
OF hymns, that all might learn to sing with
the understanding, as they certainly did, and
| the spirit.
In his addresses, free conferences and ans
wers TO practical questions, the conductor
gave the foundation principles and many
practical methods of Sunday school work in
very clear and forcible way. The people
were touched and helped just where they
needed help, misconceptions were corrected,
darkness dispelled, practical difficulties
solved, so that delegates generally were
steadied, strengthened and stimulated, and
felt in everyway better fitted to do more and
better work for the Master.
Especially instructive was the Bible read
ing on "The Bible Teacher his work and
preparation as outlined in the Scriptures.
The points made, concerning which any one
may search the Scriptures, were:
l. The Bible teacher divnely ordained
>. Who shall teach?
j. What shall they teach
L. Why teachy
3. With what spir'tl
q. Need of preparation.
Z. The preparations needed
s. The encoursgements.
The business of the convention consisted
in the election of officers. Rev. w. +. Har-

conferred upon individual workers and the |
impetus given 10 the work throughout the |
