Do YOUR DUTY AND VOTE FOR MAS
sEY AND O'FERRALL.

Col. O'FERRALL IN LURAY, PAGE
CoUNTY.-On Monday of last week,
Col. O'Ferrall made speech in Luray,
Page county. The telegram we pub
lished last week referred to the effort to
bull-doze him which failed. The Page
Nesos says that it was one of the most
disgraceful scenes ever witnessed in a
political meeting in that county. and
says the Courtroom was turned into a
perfect bedlam, and then adds -
1--WE do credit to some three or four
of the Readjuster party to say, that they
did all in their power to stop the con-
fusion. Some of O'FerralTs friends
crowded upon the stand by him and it
was clearly evident from the faces of the
Democrats that they did not intend to
be bull dozed, but proposed to fight 1t
out and hold their ground. After some
considerable time order was restored,
and Col. O'Ferrall began just where he
left off and made one of the finest
speeches we have heard during the
campaign. After he concluded his
speech he could not leave the Court.
room for some time, owing to the crowds
pressing upon him to take him by the
hand. Some strangers from other
States, sought introductions and con-
graduated him. The Democrats of Page
are proud of their standard-bearer and
propose to fight it out till the polls close
on the 9TH day of November. OFFER

We have heard of several thinking men

treatment of Col O'Ferrall was unwar-
ranted, is admitted by some of his poll
tical opponents here. and roundly de-

The Virginia Conservatives will go

November with the positive assurance
that all of the great States of the North

and that, when the sun goes down, it
will set upon the greatest Democratic

inspire our patriotic people with the

tyranny that Malone and his myrmi-
dons seek to fasten upon us.

A CONVENIENT CONSCIENCE What
queer thing an elastic conscience is !!
1t makes man strain out a gnat and
swallow camel. Capt. Paul is trou
bled with that sort of a guide, which
accounts for his political eccentricities.
His extreme delicacy of moral percep
ton was happily illustrated in Con-
gress, where he was too scrupulous to
seat a Democrat in whose case the Re-
publican chairman of the Election Com
mittee, to which he belonged, voted the
other way. Here was q Republican
conscience supporting the claims of a
Democrat, and Democratic conscience
in Paul leading him to the opposite con.
clusion. The Captains conscience ap-
pears from this to be model of spirit
ual sensibility. 1t would not let him
do wrong under the most cOgent temp
tation. But, strange to say, this deli
cate monitor in the Pauline breast has
not proved quite so faithful in restrain
ing it's pOssessor in some other emer.
gencies. The gnat was strained out.

The TARIFF CoMMlssIoN-Ther
will be some anxiety to know what re-
port this body will make to Congress !;
and if the Commission does not favor q
higher tariff, it will not be for the rea
son that some of the Barons who
have grown rich, and would be even
richer at the expense of the people,
have not piled them with arguments
in favor of ''liberal protection."-
When it is remembered that Mr.. Clay,
the father of 1.-THE American SYSTEM"
so-called, in the infancy of our manu-
features, half century ago, thought
that an ad vaiorem duty of twenty per
cent would suffice as the measure of
protection then needed and when we
call to mind the fact that the average
duty now on imports ls forty per cent. +,
Gust twice the amount that Mr.. Clay
recommended), we may perceive the fu-
tility of the arguments that young gen.
tlemen who are still in the horn book of
political economy, are urging In favor
of high protective tariff. In fact, there
never was greater political fallacy, or
humbug, than that put forth by Malone
spouters in Virginia now, who are going
a bow-shot beyond the Northern Barons
