The End Approaches.

local centres Of trade and from railroads,
win read not another word upon the sub
Zee: OF the elections until after that day.
Let those who are more favored not forget
those who have not yet been aroused from
their apathy. Let those who have been
brought 30 sense of the magnitude OF the
issues involved in the present campaign
NOT cease TO work, day or night, until their
hopcs Of success shall have ended In frui-
t;on. The welfare Of the Democratic party
Of the Union, and therefore the welfare OF
the whole country, but particularly the
welfare Of this State. as every good Demo-
crat must see, may be most seriously affect
ed II we allow CHESTER A. ARTHUR and
WILLIAM MALONE to enter Virginia upon
that list which shows the names OF the
States acknowledging the supremacy OF
Stalwart bosses.
The present contest, 1t cannot be 100
often repeated, Is between the n@'onai
Democratic party and the ARTHUR-Stslwart
faction Of the Republican party. General
MALONE wishes 10 send to the next Ma
tlOful HtDUDllCt1 tVh''h''Nts
pledged 10 give the nomination for Presl-
dent Of the United States TO Mr.. ARTHUR.
n Is little that ARTHUR would care Tor
MAuoxE's stereotyped resolution, adopted
By all the little knots Of Mahoneites whom
he has gathered together in the various
counties. il it were not for the fact that he
understands that resolution to mean that
when the proper times comes the Coslitpn
Boss will again assemble his cOlored clans
and their local white leaders and make
them declare that ARTHUR is the fttest
Republican TO succeed ARTHUR in the high
Office which he now holds. The prize
which he drew in the lottery OF assassina-
ton, TO use Senator EDAUNDs's words,
Mr.. ARTHUR would like to possess for four
years longer as the gift Of the people.
Therefore, whoever votes for MALONE S
candidates for Congress votes to endorse
Mr.. ARTHUR's administration, and at the
same time uses his influence to have AR
THUR elected to the presidency in 1854.
Such a voter might as well come out boldly
at once and declare himself a Republican,
and not merely Republican but a Repub-
lican OF the worst type-one OF that KIND
known as Stalwarts, whose leaders are
GRANT, CoNKLING, CAMERON, CHANDLER,
and such like people.
1t is not too late to do much good and
effective service before elcction-day. Many
voters may be seen and stirred up within
the short space OF week. The fact that
your work can now be needed for few
days only is an additional reason why you
can afford to give your time and attention
10 this important matter. \ few votes may
be an important matter, as recent results in
Ohio and West Virginia have shown. there
being one congressman in the latter State
elected by majority Of only seven, and
several districts in the former State in
which the maiorities were less than fifty.
And why should not Democratic Read
joesters rally 10 the support of Mr.. MASSEY
The Abingdon Virgiaidn, paper which
has been a Readiuster organ from the be-
ginning, declares in its last issue, speaking
OF the Readjuster victory OF 1881, that
"thefe is not a Readiuster true to the prln-
ciples he fought for who does not with
sorrow acknowledge that this great victory
has failed in the grand results it promised"
In word, the VirgiRidn is not willing
to be marched over into the Repub-
lcan camp by General MALONE. Nor
il any other true Democrat. Who
ever votes the MALONE ticket next
Tuesday need never afterwards pretend to
be a Democrat: Tor he will have taken SER
vice under the Republicans. lie will have
done all in his power to betray the Demo
cratic party into the hands OF the enemy.
And in this connection, let us remind
every Readjuster-Dcmocrat that in en-
dorsing ARIHUR's Administration he en-
dorses ARTHURs course i'll advising Con-
gress to continue the internal taxes upon
tobacco and liquors. He will, in word,
endorse not only the leader OF the very worst
faction OF the Republican party, but the
man who favors the continuance of the
most unjustifable tax which was ever i'm
posed upon the people OF Virginia.
What shall we say to the regular Demo-
cratsy Can there he one OF them left who
has not yet made up his mind to vote for
Mr.. MASSEY, the representative in this con-
test OF the Democratic party Of Virginia
and of the national Democratic party, and,
as 1t happens, the only Democrat who cdit
represent them, being the only one whose
district comprises the entire Common
wealth. All over Virginia Mr.. MASSEY
has travelled during the last sixty days,
and from every platform has he boldly de-
clared himself an answering Democrat
democrat who never ran for Office that he
was not opposed by Republican; who
never voted other than Democratic
ticket; and who was willing to pledge
himself, II any pledge other than his own
history was needed, to vote in Congress
with the national Democratic members. He
has made no reservations. He Is an UNI
mixed and unadulterated Democrat.
Where is the Democrat so good that he
cannot support him! We fear that MAS
sEY's reSdjusteriSm is mere preteXt. We
cannot understand the Democracy of n man
who can vote for n ReSdiuster Republican,
such as JOHN S. WISE, but cannot vote for
aResdluster Democrat, such as JONI f.
MASSEY. Wewould not give fig for such
mans Democracy, TO all such men we
appeal once more TO vote for the repre-
sentative OF the Democratic party. Donot
stumble over mere name. When you vote
for MASSEY YOU will vote for Democracy.
when you vote for john S. WISE YOU will
