1t is true that the Massey Treason, with
its assistant traitors, prevented the PASSAGE
OF oar Congressional Re-Gpportionnaent bill
and other good measures. -Richnond
Whiq.
That paragraph ought to settle the de-
termination of every Democrat to vote for
John E. Massey. 1t is truth that to him
the Democrats of the Seventh District owe
the fact that their votes ,UiU be counted at
all. Under "our Congressional Re-appor-
tionment bill'' the Seventh District would
have been composed Of Shenandoah, Page.
Rockbridge, Madison, Green, Augusta,
Highland, Bath and Rockingham, and the
Democrats residing therein might as we'll
have sta;d at home as gone to the polls.-
With that congressional district even Ohio
would hardly have chee1ed us up. The
hand of the Boss gerrymanderer was at the
very Threats of the Democrats of this dis
trict, when John E. Massey and his friends
struck it upand placed themselves between
Malone and US. And they are to-doy
still standing between him and u.s. and if
we allow Massey to be defeated, the Boss
Extra Session, and ''our Congressional Re-
apportionment bill'' will straghtway be
upon us. Self interest and gratitude, both
demand that every Democrat in this dis
trict shall give him his vote.

AN EARL ANSWER.

After the Ohio ell ction, the Republican
press of the country viciously charged it

sault, because the official figures showed
that the majority in the Western Reserve
where there was 10 liquor question at is

where that was discussed. But that ma
lieious assault on peaceful and industri-
Gus people, has met prompt and response
In Connecticut, the Germans have held a
convention and denounced the Republi-
cans and pledged their support to the
Democratic ticket. In Indianapolis over
thousand Germans who supported Gar

ticket this fall, and in New York the Ger
man element is solidifying against the
Folger ticket. The curses of the Arthur

THE DEMOCRATIC TIDAL WAVE
YELLING.

Gen. Haskill, prominent Indiana Re
publican, speaking Of the effect of the
Ohio election on Indiana politics, said re-
Gently: ut will have this effect, that In
diana will be Democratic by not less than
10000 majority. The Republican party is
beaten already and beaten bad Mark
what tell you" Pretty nearly the same
prophecy was made to us last week by a
prominent Republican Of Indiana who was
in Stanton on his way home from the
tleman had foretold with remarkable ac-
curacy the Republican disaster in Ohio,
though not exactly reaching up to the po-
litical deluge which actually occurred.
A telegram received in Washington from
another prominent Indiana Republican,

that State. assisting in the management

is recognized by ths Republican papers
everywhere. The Albany IN. I )Joonnat,
Republican paper thus analyses the con-
dition Of the party:
Evidence accumulates that this is to
be another tidal year. In the smaller
States, relatively affected but slightly
by the conduct of All Administration.
the Republican party is as strong at
the polls as ever. But in the three great
est States in the Union, which gave Gar
field all their eiehry-six electoral votes two
years ago, the Republican party is in an
unspeakaby bad condition. Republican
papers in various parts of the country give
signs OF expect alton that Illinois, Indiana,
Connecticut and Colorado, all Garfield
States, will be submerged by the tidal
wave. 1t is wise to be prepared for all
this. 1t 10 well to brace ourselves against
the wave, and settle in advance precisely
how much it will mean, and how its effects
can best be turned to advantage"

4 VIRGINIA READJUSTER'S OPINION OF
AR1HUR'S DMINIS1RA 11ON AND

OHIO
The OHIO deluge has opened the mouths
of some of our Democratic friends in Vir-
giniia. The Bridgewater, Rockingham
Journal, which to our surprise, knowing
the conservative and Democratic instincts
of its venerable editor, G.. T. Barbee, ESQ.,,
has been supporting John Paul the Rspub-
lican-Coalition supporter OF Arthur's Rad
ical and corrupt administration, gives the
true Democratic ring in its editorial of
last Friday morning. 1t says "Governor
Foster, Secor Robson and an acre OF
ground covered with greenbacks could
not save the State,' and that is true we
may add Of Virginia also. for Governor
Cameron, VIM Malone aud ian acre of
ground covered with greenbacks" cannot
save Virginia to the Republicans Mr..
Barbee says:
ut was decreed that the State should
become Democratic, aud it WAS so. We
SAY, amen to it-thy kingdom conae"
Spoken like a Democrat! He closes thus:
And now word DIS to the interpreta-
tion that WE give to this political revolu-
ton in Onlo. Free traffic in liquor and
bar room FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
on the Holy Sabbath day may have had
something to do with ito what extent
we do not pretend to know. Bnt there is
a powerful party in this country, and its
voice has just been heard in Ohio, and it
will presently be heard in the great States
of Pennsylvania and New York, demand
ing that in every department of this Gov
eminent its expenses shall be brought
down to basis Of simplicity, economy and
honesty.
IL is far from it now. The Democratic
success in Ohio means more. The eyes of
the people are not blind to the fact that
the government at Washington has been
appropriating tue peoples money in a way
that no private individual IN the world
would appropriate his own funds. Steal
ing and corruption among its employees,
and in high places have been discov-
cred.
Star Route thefts and River and Har-
Dor Steals and a thousand other offences
are growing abominations in the eyes of the
people, and they mean to put d stup to t.
Let the Democracy meet the occasion
with courage and fidelity, and here is
hand of Readjuster, now and forever.
Very good And now let the Journal
oppose the election of John Paul, whose
vote helped to make Keifer Speaker of the
House, who in turn appointed Secor Robe
son, the notorious corruptionist, Chair
man of the Committee of Naval Affairs,
the said Paul being pledged to support Ar
thurs corrupt Administration. If you will
do this there is the hand of Democrat
now and forever.'

DEMOCRACY.

We do not remember to have seen in
our day such an uprising of the Virginia
Democracy as is witnessed now. The out
pouring of the people at their gatherings
is wonderful. At Richmond Danville.
Warrenton, Fairfax G. H., and Alexandria
the size of the meetings was unparalleled,
At the last named city the merchants
closed their stores and all business was
discontinued to turn out and welcome

The Coalition Republicans are too late
in trying to cure the effect of Ohio on Vir-
ginia. They were lying on their oars
thinking Arthur's Administration and
Mahone's assessments would do the work,
but they have suddenly found themselves
struggling in the midst of a great Demo-
cratic wave. The Virqqsian yesterday pub
fishes shower of appointments through
the county for Messrs. J. Y ost, John Paul,
w. E. Craig and other Coalition Republi-
cans. and even the New Hope pic mic fail
ure is to be tried over again; this time with
Riddlebgrger, Cameron and Brown Allen.
Now let the Democrats work, aoork, WORK.

Augusta; now let them bury them under
an unprecedented majority. Oratory don't

TILL ANOTHER COALITTONtsT
WITH VIM

The eHon:'' J. M. Langston, Negro,
from Washington city, who was engaged
to stump Virginia for the Republican Co.
alition. and who made his first speech at
Lynchburg two weeks ago. having for his
white colleague Oh that occasion the Hon.
John Paul, of the Seventh district, tthe
same John Paul who was conspicuous in
the Presidential campaign two years ago
in denouncing the Democracy for inviting
two white United States Senators from
North and South Carolinas, as an outside
interference with the freemen OF Virgin
ia has been withdrawn from the canvass
and sent back to Washington city. This
Negro, imported from Washington, where
he is an Official of "Arthur's Administra-
tion,' to instruct the white Democratic
Readjus;er and black Republican voters of
Virginia, had made four speeches. In the
first, at Lynchburg, he compimented the
speech Of Hon. John Paul by saying that
he could hardly have believed such radi
cal speech could have been delivered on
Virginia soil; in the second, delivered at
Richmond, he announced that M ses was
something of boss and Jesus Christ was
boss and in the third, delivered at
Williamsburg, correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch reports him as saying:
s'That Malone, in conference with
leading Republicans at Philadelphia, had
said he did not intend to stop at readjust-
mept of Virginia's debt, but intended to
annhilaie every legal obstruction to per-
feet equality in the South; and that Malone
! woald be compelled to overturn the re-
naming legal barriers thereto in Virgin
ia. These barriers are, l believe, the laos
aqlinst internaarr,dqe, mired schools, &C.
Malone had brought much to pass, aud
more would come to pass"
How promptly such an orator turned
the political stomachs of the white Dem
ocratic Readjusters who yet chung to the
Malone party, we can only infer from the
promptness with which he was sent home
after making one more. his fourth speech
The color line may bea very useful one
for Malone to draw just now, as more
than two-thirds of his voters depend on
it, but he must be more careful in the Sc
lection OF the artist to draw it. One
more Negro artist like Langston, will
wipe the white off the canvass altogether.

OF No AVAIL.

There is no use for Arthur's Admins
tration to scatter money and patronage in
Virginia, New York. Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana and the other debatable States of the
Union. The money and assessments it
has given Gen. Malone have merely been
wasted on barren ground. The cause of
revolt, regardless of party affiliations,
throughout the Nation against Arthur's
administration lies too deep to be cured
by money and the usual methods" of the
StalWart Republicans. Indeed it is this
very money corruption and bribery by gift
of office that the nation has risen against.
The country has taken alarm at system
of government by which a President may
through Lieutenant, actually name the
Governors and even the legislatures of the
States, prescribe the legislation for those
States and even select the very congress-
men who are to prepare public measures
for his signature. 1t is a step towards
Capitalization so long and so marked thai
the most Indifferent have been forced to
note it. It has created revolt in the IN
telIigent ranks Of Republicanism and only
finds hope among the ignorant blacks
of the South, to whose territory the sys-
tenn has been driven as a place of last
refuge. Many months ago this journal
foreshadowed the emigration OF the Stall
wart boss system from the homes Of think
ing Americans at the North to the huts of
the newly enfranchised at the South. We
were replied to that it was impossible; that
the Republican party in the Northern
States possessed the majority of the intel
ligence and public spirit of those States
But the answer was only confirmation of
the assertion. Whether poor or rich the
Intelligent portion of people are ever the
most difficult to subdue into automatic
followers of a political machine run by
questionable methods, and it is from that
class that the revolt against Arthur
has come.
President Arthur has named Chas. J.
Folger, his Secretary of Treasury, for
Governor of New York. He will be de-
feated by $4,000 majority. President Ar
thur (through Senator Cameron) has
named the candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania. He will be defeated by
10000 majority. President Arthur
Through Gen. Mahene) has named John
S. Wise for Congressmen-at-large in Vir-
ginia. He will be defeated by 10000 ma
jority. President Arthur has named the
candidates for Congress in North Carroll
ma and they are already beaten, before the
election. Disaster stares the system in
the face in every State in the Union, and
November will witness it's wreck from
Massachusetts to Texas.

NOT TO BE COUNTED OUT

NOT TO BE COUNTED OUT
Let no Democrat entertain the shadow
of doubt that if John E. Massey and the
other Democratic candidates for Congress
are elected they will not take their seats.
There is no danger Of their being counted
out. The next House of Representatives
is Democratic and the legally elected Dem
ocrats from Ohio, New York, Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Indiana will take their
seats without any trouble. The Hon.
John Paul will not be member of the
Committee On Privileges and Elections in
that House and his Republican conscience
will have rest. All you have to do is to
put your ballot in the box for Massey and
O'Ferrall and if it is not fairly counted
in Virginia the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives will see that
it is fau ly counted somewhere else. 1t is
a safe bet of ten thousand to one that if a
majority OF the legal voters of Virginia
cast their ballots for John E. Massey for
Congressmen -at-large for Virginia, you
will see the Old Man hang up his hat on
the Democratic side of the House of Rep
resentatives and record his votes under
the Constitution of the United States and
the laws of Congress in accordance there
with.

A Straight Out Republican in the Field in
the 9TH District

We see in the Harrisonburg papers that
Mr.. J. W. Cochran, of that city, and the
Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee Of Virginia, has announced himself
as the Republican candidate for Congress
IN opposition to O'Ferrall and Paul. We
infer from the high position he has held
in the Republican party that he is a man
of influence therein and will receive the
solid straight-out Republican vote in this
district. How much that will be the bal
lot box only can tell, for the mysterious
workings of Blaine-that master hand that
shapes all the ends of the National Repub-
lican party in spite of Stalwartism, and
even despite the ASA .sin's bullet-makes
it all guess work. 1t ia certain that he
will receive all the votes of both white and
colored Stralght-out Republicans who are
in accord with Blaine in his desire to pre-
serve the life of the National Repu blican
party from the death which StaIwartlsm
and Coalition have prepared for it. The
following is an extract from Mr.. Coch-
rams card:
l believe, it elected, l can induce Con-
gress in accordance with Mr.. Blane's
views, to pay off Virginia's debt, because
Virginia, when the Federal Government
was poor, gave to it a territory worth
more than three times the debt of Virgin
ia. In conclusion, | believe these things
can be done. | feel confident that if the
Republicans of this district will stand
together, and vote for their candidates
Hon. J. M. Dawson and myself, we will
be elected. We have before US to-day
divided Democracy all over the State. II
we are wise we will take the advantage
OF them, and elect our own people. Let
Republicans pay their poll tax this time,
and vote for the repeal Of the capita,ion
tax and their candidates, and all will lie
we'll.
champion the cause of good money,
good government and good citizens. and
If elected promise to represent all classes
of our people, but especially the poor la
boring man, to which class belong.
Respectfully,
J. W. COCHRAN.
