msrd Thorn n slavery. oh, Il some o
these dear "faifhf,1I allies could see som
Of tho letters Il, possession OF this write
rom leaders Of their party promuls atini
such ideas 1t would very ihahc '"o"
quake with fear aud trembling.
But to return to our starting poInt. WV
understand anything OF the future pohc)
OF this mongrel combination, sney pIopvss
TO adopt the name OF the "AdministIation
party" i'm their congressional campsig'
this year, and we believe they are Ia .ul-
vance OF their most stalwart alhes Oh tne
Republican party in being the first to swal-
low, undigested, in one SOLID puk, INC
Guteau-Arthur Administration.
This Administration owes It's existence
10 two misunderstanding, VINO by VIZ
tue OF his leadership OF TIE Stalwart, third
teim-Grant faction in the Chicago Conven-
ton was accorded the privilege OF nomi-
mating the candidate for Vice-President,
and Guiteau, who by virtue OF pistol
shot murdered the chosen ruler of the
the American people, and thus elevated
into the presidency this man Arthur, n Sc
cond-rate ward politician OF New York
city, and who had been removed from
Office by previous Republican Admins
tration for irregularities and mal-adminis-
tration OF the affairs OF his Office as col
lector Of the port Of New York.
What shame that the old mother Of
States should have been the first to produce
such servile set OF men, who at the
bidding OF their master bows at the
shrine OF such a figure. A vile and
corrupt bargain between their leader
on the one part, who has bartered the
rights OF the people, OF the State he so
diSgracefully misrepresents away by making
merchandise OF his seIt in the Senate, and
this Guiteau Administration on the other,
il Of course the great motor which prompts
them in their every act. Virginia is to be
Republicanized, and in return this hungry
horde OF oflicc-seekers and pilferers is to
receive the plumber.
70 bury into utter oblivion this corrupt
set OF men should be the object Of prime
importance with all true Nirginians and
Democrats. How TO achieve this great re-
suit should he the only question. We have
only 10 fear mistakes-without them sue
cess is certain. A convention seems to be
demanded. 1t should be small one-com-
posed Of one wise, discreet representative
from each county or legislative district. 1t
should be called as early as possible. The
platform should consist OF but few very
broad planks,. and they broad enough to
hold and unite all who are opposed TO
{" boss rule" and the proscriptive and cor
rupt policy OF the black Republican party.
We should properly recognize and APP
preciatc the great services TO Virginia OF
the truly patriotic "Big Four" We
should greet them with open arms, and
welcome them to The highest seats in our
synagogue. We should require nothing
put loyalty to the Democratic party. To
do otherwise would be base ingratitudc,
fraught with evil consequences.
1t IS the worst sort OF folly to keep issues
that are dead before the people. Ii we
propose to slam the doors in the faces OF
these noble and patriotic men because they
honestly differed with us on an issue which
we are no longer to consider, then we de-
serve what such a suicidal policy will bring
rs 4 merited roward-an utter defeat.
The Democracy hereabOutS is of the I'M
terrified order, and yet we will gladly take
any one whom with sole pledge OF loyalty
to the Democratic party the Convention
may give lis, whether it be Massey or Dan
icl, Newberry or Payne, Lybrook or FitZ.
Lee, and will pledge the united support OF
the Democratic party OF SOUTHAMPTON.
