forever. 1t is in the last ditch and one
more shove will end it.
There are this session the same number
of cadets at the Virgin la Military Institute
as last year. but fewer Virginians.
This is fight in which every man who val
ues independence and self respect should vote
for the Liberal Candidates Wise and Paul.
There is no occasion for angry contests at
the polls. If the object of each party is to do
the fair thing, and seek no technical or un-
worthy advantage. the end will be peace and
quiet and good feeling thereafter.
Don't let the Funders lead you off. Remem-
Der that OFerrall, Cochran, Massey and Daw.
son are on the one side, and that John Paul
and John Wise are on the other. To vote for
Dawson and Cochran is half vote for Massey
and O'Ferrall.
1t is always best to vote early and thus
prevent jam at the polls. Letevery Lib
eral be prepared with ticket the evening
before the election and deposit as soon at
ter sun-up as possible.
Let every man be at his post on Tuesday,
We have the enemy on the run, and let US
keep up the fire until the sun goes down on
Tuesday Even in this county, the strong
hold ofFunderism, they are quak ing in their
shoes.
Mrs. Scov lille, the sister of the assassin
GLiteau, has been declared insane by Chica-
go jury. She, however, skipped the city be-
fore the verdict was announced. There seems
to be method in her madness.
News from Highland and Bath, and from
the western part of Augusta, is most cheering
The enemy are weakening all along the line
and their last dodge of putting Cochran in the
field will not help them any.
BE active and vgilant on the day of election.
Go to the polls before sun up, and remain
there until the going down of the same See
that every Liberal vote is polled. Give one
day to the redemption of the State
Vote for the Constitutional Amend
ments. The adoption of these amendments
on the 9TH repeats the present constitional
provision which makes the prepayment Of
the capitation tax necessary to vote.
c. W. Spieer's large tobacco factory at
Petersburg was entirely consumed on the
night of the 2Sth. The clear loss is esti-
mated at from s35, OOOto $4,000. The in
surance will aggregate 100000.
Lee Rhodes, implicated in the murder Of
the Massey fam lily of Albemarle, was tried
last week in the Circuit Court Of that coun-
ty, found guilty of murder in the second
degree and his punishment in the peniten-
tiary fixed at eleven years.
The funders are desperate now. On election
day watch out for tricks Don't credit rumors
or circulars. Remember you are voting for
the redemption of Virginia. for ballot for
Wise and Paul, and one for the constitutional
amendments is shovel full of earth on the
Bourbon grave.
The only doubtful states which elect legs.
latures this fall on whom the choice ola fed
eral senator rests are Illinois, New Jersey,
Tennessee and North Carolina. All are now
represented by Democrats, and Republican
gains are certain In the first two and probable
in the last two.
Let the Liberals be on the watch from now
until after the election True to their tactics
the Funders will attempt some trick, when
they think it too late to have the fraud de-
tected. Look out for all kinds of rumors, cir
culars, &c. Pay no attention to anything that
emanates from that party. They are desperate
and will make desperate resorts.
Mr.. VIM. Dickson, the foreman of the jury
in the star route cases, tried in Washington
several months ago, has been arrested on a
charge of bribery and corruption in his Ca
pacity as juror. He appeared in court ON
the 2Sth, and was bailed in the sum of s., 500.
G. Maurice Smith, brother of Hon. J. Amber
Smith, is his counsel.
One day devoted to the cause of Liberalism
in Virginia will be time well spent. The Lib
erals should be vigilant and active on election
day and the day before, SO as to get out the
full strength of the party. A favorable YER
dict will be the death of organized Bourbon
Ism in Virginia, and for such contamination
every Liberal can afford to give one day, at
least, to the cause.
In Texas the wool growers have declared
for protective tariff, and renowned the Demo
candidate for Governor, Gen. Hancock They
will support Mr.. Davis. the Repu blican or In
dependent candidate. They have also con-
tributed literally to fund to further their in
terests in this respect. That is the right |
spirit. Let the people of the 9th district |
make note of this. Mr.. Tucker cannot |
with his views, represent their interest
We stated last week that Mr.. Jas. w. Coch- |
ran, of Harrsonburg, had announced himself
a Straightout Republican candidate for Con-
gross IN this district. This action is sufficient
ly explained by the fact that the Bourbon pa
pers are giving it all the aid they can, conss-
tent with their support of O'Ferrall. Indeed.
they seem to regard Mr.. Cochran as one of
their own, and lavish as much praise on him
as upon OFerrall. This ought to satisfy eve
ny Republican, as well as Mr. Cochran, that
the interests to be subserved by his candidacy
are those of the Bourbon party But it does
not disturb Republicans or Readjusters in the
least.
The Postoffice authorities have determined
to wage unceasing warfare against the nu-
merous marriage and birthday associations
which are springng up all over the country by
closing the mails to all circulars, letters, etc.
oromu lgated by Them Inspector A. G. Sharp,
20 whom the matter was referred has reported.
recommending that such associations be pro-
libited from using the mails, on the grounds
hat they are frauds. The associations propose
es!ing the question. They say marriage asso-
iations are just as legal as other insurance.
nd that when fraud is specifically proven in
ny case the association involved and not all
f them. should be Disseminated against.
1t is amusing as well as disgusting to note
he attempt of the Bourbons to deceive the
eople. There is no distortion.or misrepre-
sntation, which might possibly influence
ote that they will not resort to. AS an it,
During the last session of Con-
