The month has opened gloomily In the
7th District for the Hon. John Paul or
anybody else who may get the Harrison
burg nomination. In the town of Har-
risonburg last year, the Democrats only
elected their mayor by nineteen majority
Last Thursday they elected Z. Bryan,
Democrat. over j. T. Hyde, Coalitionist,
by one hundred and thirty majority The
Hon. john Paul was at home and voted.
The Comm awealth," Of Harrisonburg
is Growing loudly over the result. 1t is
certainly dreary opening for the Coalition
campaign.

The New York Post falls into an error
that some in Virginia labor under, when
it represents Capt. John S. Wise as zone
of the first to accept the conditions Of the
war, and who went in heart and hand for
reconstruction" Mr.. Wise, who is a
young man, has very brief political re-
cord, but up to Gen. Joe Johnston nomi-
nation for Congress in the Richmond dis
trict, we know Of nothing in that record
which makes the Posts remark more ap-
plicable to him than to any other member
of the Democratic party. His record as a
Bourbon Funder, if you choose to call it
so, was good enough to make him promi-
nent competitor of Gen. Johnston had be
not gracefully conceded the position to
that veteran. His record as Readjuster
is even briefer than his record as Demo-
crat, and his record as candidate is that
of beaten horse, he having been badly
defeated by his cousin George Wise, for
Congress from the Richmond district two
years ago. There is really no public reason
that the people of Virginia know of why
Mr.. Wise should have been selected as the
Coalition candidate for Congressman-at-
large. Except that he now Is sincere and
hearty hater of the Democratic party and
of the former leaders Of the Republican
party, having been badly thrashed by the
former in his own district, and holding
the latter in great and publicly expressed
contempt. we know Of no special qualifi-
cations he has for the task of meeting his
old commandments, Parson Massey. His
defeat by the Old Man would only be in the
line of his former experience in the field
and be nothing new to him.

Both Houseg Of Congress on Wednesday

Both Houses of Congress on Wednesday
united in teaching President Arthur a
lesson. The River and Harbor appropria-
tion bill was passed by Congress and re-
turned by the President with his veto on
account of it's extravaganza. but with the
suggestion that his objections could be re-
moved by Congress if it would enact law
ordaining that one half only of the appro-
priation be expended ia the fiscal year and
that half be expended only on such works
as the Secretary of War under his Ar
thur's) direction should determine on. This
exhibition of assurance was promptly met
by the House passing the bill over
his veto by 1923 to SO and the
Senate doing the same thing by Al to Is.
In the House, as divided by parties,
there were 65 Republicans and 81 d mo-
Gratis who voted to override the veto, and
80 Republicans and 20 Democrats who
voted against doing 50; in the Senate, Is
Republicans aud IS Democrats vottG 10
override and Is Il piolicans and nrmo-
Gratis voted in tl,r -gative. Senator Ma
hone was present. sui uid mo- Veta DIT All
Senator Johnston Voted to override. IL
the House, all the Virginia delegation vo-
ted to override, except Messrs. Pull, De-
zendorf and Jorgensen, who did not vote
at all. The bill is an extravagant one.
and it's passage in spite of the veto, has
but one redeeming feature, its rebuke to
the President for his suggestion of taking
personal care of legislation.

The rush of wheat from the West to the
seaboard continues, but has not wrecked
the market as was at first apprehended.-
East Tennessee and Georgia have also been
pouring in their wheat to Baltimore over
the Shenandoah Valley route. Since Mon.
day, one hundred and forty-fv car loads
of wheat by this route have reached that
city, and it is said that at Roanoke there
are one hundred and fort weight car loads
waiting transportation. Harvesting OF
wheat on the Missouri slope began quite
generally Monday morning. The yield,
says telegram from that section, will be
enormous. The grain crops of all kinds
are large. Barley is harvested, and aver
ages about 80 bushels. Oats average from
80 to rs bushels, and wheat from rs to IS,
and in some places much higher.
In New York, Wednesday, the wheat
market was strong and sales for August de.
delivery were made at $1,14a$1 10. In
Baltimore, the same day, the wheat mar
ket was frmer and higher, with an active
demand. Southern Fultz sold at 81, 11a

Col. John R. Popham, clerk of the U. S.
District Court at Richmond, who will be
recollected by Staunton people as making
the most effective speech that was deliv
cred in favor of coalition at the Republi-
can state Convention which met here, has
been removed from his position for NAL
feasance. There are also legal proceed
ing charging him with embezZlsment and
forgery. He has published card in which
he states that these charges do him great
injustice. He is man of many excellent
qualities, and bis friends. who are not few
in number, will be glad to know that these
statements cannot be substantiated.
just as this case is occupying public COM
ment, s. Chap Neale of Alexandria, a for
mer member of the Virginia legislature,
who fled the state some months ago under
charges of perjury and other offences, is
arrested in Nevada and brought to Rich
mond for trial. At the time of his flight,
there was good deal of sympathy for him
from his former good character, and the
fact that he had gone to work in his new
home to lead new and better life will not
lessen that kindly feeling. Both of the men
named we're decided powers in the opposing
political organizations to which they be-

THE ICE CRACKING.

It is impossible for one who reads the
news from all quarters Of the State to
overlook the fact that large assures are ap-
pearing in the once solid Malone organi-
cation. From our exchanges Of one week
only, we make photograph of some of the
cracks: John S. Timberlake, late chairman
of the Readjuster party for Warren coun-
ty. publishes aletter in which he announces
that as the issue is "John e. Massey On
the one hand, and John S. Wise. Federal
patronage and Radical rule on the other, ;"
he, without being less Readjuster than
he has been, intends to support MI. Mas
sey and appeals to every Democratic Re-
adjuster to do likewise. In Alexan-
dria at the Coalition congressional prima-
ry, the meeting split and G.. A. Lumpkin.
the colered chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee left the hall follow
ed by forty others. At the congressional
primary in Norfolk, the Coalition split
one party leaving the hall. In Lynchburg
the Straightout Republicans have held a
meeting and endorsed the nomination of
Rev. J. M. Dawson for Congressman-at-
large. In the 9th district Col. Fulkerson
has captured the delegation from Wash
ington. At Surry Mr.. Dezendorf had a
lalg audience to hear him. The Abingdon
Virginian (Readjuster) publishes this ON
inous question in a leading editorial:
"What right has any man to pledge the
Readjuster party to the administration of
Mr.. Arthur or anybody else? Has any
convention of the party 80 declared it?"-
At Harrisonburg, the home of John Paul
a meeting numbering from twenty-five to
thirty straight-out Republicans demand a
straight-out Republican candidate for the
seventh Congressional district. The Mar
tinsville, Henry, Herald (Rep.) says
Nothing but abject submission to the
Boss will do, and Republican President
honest Republican sentiment" The Vir-
ginia Argus, published by colored men,
announces that 'we propose to fight it out
on this line until hades freezes over, to
crush out Bossism alias Mahoneisn" The
editor Judge Finnell) of the Viroiaasa Re
adjuster, of Warren county, who has been
Readjuster since 1872, and always voted
with his party, says there are forty thou
sand Democratic Readjusters" who will
not follow Malone, and predicts major
ity for Massey of $4,000.
The above does not present very con-
solatory picture to the Coalition mind of
the unity of its party. Instead of old
man Massey making "Greeley campaign"
as some low spirited Democrats at first
predicted, it begins to give signs of Wise
meeting the same fate as his leaders, Han
cock s English electoral ticket in 1880,
coming in at the tail end of three tickets.

IT Is ALL A TRICK.

There is a story told of a Seminole
Indian, during the Florida war, hid.
ing behind an old tree stump, near a
lonely farm house, initiating the
g0bble of turkey to lure the farmer
from his field.work, and of the farm
er's young son making "a wide detour
and shooting the Indian dead In the
very act of rising to murder his father
who had drown near to bag the
turkey.
That's just what the Democratic
candidates in this county are doing
Initiating from the crossroads the
gobble of the turkey-pretending tC
favor reform, retrenchment, &C., &c.
when everyone knows their party re
cord is quite the reverse of these
They may succeed i'm woodworking
some of the farmers, but not many
and even these last may yet be saved
the scalping knife by the sharper vi
sions Of their sons. Every farmer
ought to know by this time-tht
fraudulent tones of the Democratic
"gobhle." The Republican party is
1.-The turkey" for Blue Earth county
reformers.
