Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1882-12-22

Judge Robert Ould of Richmond, who
had he lived would have lectured in Staun-
ton this week under the auspices of the
Young Men Christian Association here,
in reply to the new theological position
lately taken by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
died on Friday morning last. He was
sixty-three years of age and native of
the District of Columbia. He was appoin-
ted District Attorney of Washington City
in place of Philip Barton Key, who was
killed by Daniel Z. Sickles, and conducted
the prosecution of Sickles. One of the
counsel for defense in that trial, the noted
Daniel Ratcliff, died only few hours be-
fore Judge Ould. Another of the counsel
was Edwin M. Stanton, afterwards Secre-
tary of War under President Lincoln and
who, after the surrender. put Judge Guild,
who was the Confederate Commissioner
Of Exchange, in prison. Since 1865 Judge
Ould, though in private life, has exercised
great influence in the affairs of Virginia,
just as. since 1870, though a layman, he
has had great weight in the councils of
the Presbyterian church. While one Of the
master minds in that church yet he seemed
to shrink from any notoriety not forced
by duty. In his letter to the SJaunton Y
M. G. A, read by Capt Fl. L. Hoover
Sunday afternoon. he said that while if
Mr.. Bsecher lectured in Staunton las it
was then rumored that he would) he de-
sired to deliver his own lecture here to
counterfeit the theological views of the
New York minister. yet he did not wish
to court the notoriety of what might be
called a controversy with him.
Hon. James Lyons, another prominent
lawyer of Richmond. and in long past
days member of the Confederate Con.
gress from that district, died on Monday
last in his eighty-fourth year. He belong
ed to an era long since gone but as Whig
| and Democrat, for he was in turn both
he presented in his political career life oil
purity and integrity which later genera
| tions would do we'll to initiate. Some of oul
| Oldest citizens still recollect Mr. Lyons as
one of the orators at great Wing barbe-
| cue, on what are now the D., D. & B. In
stitution grounds in the "Tippecanoe ani
Tyler too" campaign of 1910, his handsome
presence and winning oratory having
made an indelible impression on theil
minds.

Judge Barrett.

WHY should not James Barrett be
elected governor of Vermont this year
There is absolutely no answer to that
question, for Judge Barrett is precisely
the kind of man who ought to be put
in the place this and every other year.
He has such familiarity with men and
things in the state as can hardly he
equaled by another man within it, he
has the weight of personal character
and dignity, the standing and the abil-
ity, which should be sought in a chief
executive, he is entirely free from pO-
litical entanglements, and, lastly, he
lives in the west part of the state from
which custom directs the next govern
or to be taken. Compare him with
Barstow, nominee of the ring. The
latter is about as little known in the
state as it is possible for man to be
who has acted as Acknowledgements
and his qualifications are wholly of the
negative kind he has no positive
popularity, even, and nothing except
an inspired newspaper will pretend
that the state is not full of men his
equals in every way. Now if the peO-
pie of the state could be heard in the
matter is there any doubt as to wheth-
er Barrett or BarstOw would be elect
ed ? And is there any doubt as to
which is the tirst-class man without Il
vicious boss backing and which isn't
But yet the suggestion of Barrett's can
didacy by one of the best republican
weeklies in the state the other day
found ears in the kind of newspaper
offices which still form a majority that
seem entirely deaf.-[Springtield Re
