tested untiring zeal and limitless devotion.
Not only was his course in that crisis
grand, but his eloquent speech was equal
TO the highest demands of the occasion,
and penetrated the vast assembly before
him with its convincing and persuasive
power. Never before had Mr.. Massey risen
to greater height, and never did he per.
form an act which so cndeared him to his
party and so elevated him in its respect
and esteem. Services so great as his, abili.

Remembering the Hunts.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The TimeS'S New
Orleans special says: jose Domingo, a ma
tive Of Spain, came here forty years ago n
Carlist exile, and soon became prominent
as an importer OF cigars from HAVANA
business i'm which he accumulated an i'm
mense fortune. On Sunday last he died,
and to-day his will was opened for probate.
He declared he had no heirs, gave his rell-
tives and friends few liberal requests,
but left his homestead, in Carondelet street,
to Cornclia Ridgly Hunt, daughter Of Hon.
William ii. Hunt, late Secretary Of the
Navy and now Minister to Russia, and the
balance OF his entire estate to Minister
Hunt. OF late years Mr. Hunt has been in
somewhat embarrassed circumstances, but
this unexpected gift from his old friend
and admirer will render him one Of the
wealthiest men in the diplomatic service.

Mr.. Massey's Candidacy.

We feel quite sure that, as a candidate
for the support OF Conservatives, there is
not man IN the State to whom Mr.. Massey
can be more distasteful than he Is to us.
Being q Debt-Payer, or "Funder"-as our
enemies say-from first to last, we find it
hard 10 even ignore, much less condone
the mischief Mr.. Massey did in aiding so
powerfully to commit this State TO policy
OF repudlation-whch contributed also to
the dlsintegration of the only party through
which he could hope to secure good
and honest government in Virginia. And
we think it quite likely that there are
some-it may be many--who Will never so
far forgive Mr.. Massey, "the father Of re-
Adjustment as to vote for him under any
circumstances. And ii is TO that class that
we would address these remarks. while We
retract nothing that we have said touching
the impolicy aud wrong OF the course
which Massey and his associates advocated
and carried through, so far as legislation
could avail. We still think that, both in
morals and policy, they were guilty Of a
blunder and crime against the State.
But we are now called upon to deal with
facts as they are, not as we would have
them. Mr.. Massey assumes that the Read
iuster party has fulfilled its mission, and
quotes Nlahone's paper, the Wing, and
Riddleberger's paper, the Woodstock Iir-
qiniQn (sOrry are we that it bears that
name), to prove that it has "fulfilled all it
promised" and has therefore nothing more
to accomplish, except to carry over few
thousand white Democrats to the Stalwart
faction of the Republican party that Ma
hone may have power and they profit
thereby. And so Massey Is no longer
a Readluster in the sense that Ma
hone and Wise are. In fact, he is
thoroughly with us in his desire to
resist the domination OF q boss in politics,
and the turning over OF all the interests of
this great State to Arthur, Malone 4 Co.
He is satisfied with the legitimate fruit OF
the original movcment-thc legislation that
has been secured to lessen the State debt
while those to whom he stands opposed
seek to deliver us, bound hand and foot, to
endure boss rule, under the most obnoxious
faction OF the Republican party. There is
consequently that difference between Mas
sey and Wise; and there are none of us
with much experience in life who have not
al some time been in position to make
choice of evils, that being the alternative
presented to us now.
| 1t has often been said that "politics
make strange bed-fellows." And what are
politics, as defined by the photographers.
but prudence and sagacity in devising
and pursuing measures adaptedto promote
the public welfare"? When the Father OF
his country gave his last vote in Alexandria
he said to those present, "Gcntlemen,
vote for measures, not for men," And SO,
in voting for Massey, on the platform thai
he now occupies, we would go for mea
sures, not for the man, except so far as he
may appear to be the most available man to
accomplish the primary obiect-the defeat
Of MahOne's measures of degradation to
this State ynchburg Virginidn.

The Campaign.


We have said elsewhere that we hope
soon to hear that Mr.. MASSEY and Captain
WISE have met upon the stump. The other
side are not at all afraid Of the Parson,
though he Is 80 "childlike and bland,"-
that Is, II we may believe what the Bristol
Ne,ns says on the subject. In the last issue
Of that paper we find the following:
JOHNNY WISE CoMING.-Our candidate
for congressman at large springs INTO the
Southwest next Monday at Marion. He
sweeps at once round through Tazewcil
and Russell, and gets back TO Abingdon at
our County Court, the Gath. After ny 70
Cbristiansburg he goes to Estillville, ana
,Jonesyille, and Gladeyille, and Dickinson
Courthouse, and Grundy, and thence 70
Craysor,, and thence 10 Floyd, and SaIem'
and Lynchburg, and back into the tith
district again. He makes eight court.days.
Mr.. Massey Is out against the Rcadluster
nominee. Whether he will meet wise we
nre moi authorized TO say. But he desires
TO beat him, and then why not meet hims
Sure enough, "why not meet him =!
The Southwest is the section in which the
battle will rage most fiercely. NEwBERRY
and FuLKERsoN will make it warm for Cap
tain WISE II Mr.. MASSEY neglects his duty.
But this Mr.. MASSEY will not do, we trust.
Let him visit every county in the Ninth
district the same day his opponent does,
and ring the changes upon the inconsistent
cies Of the Administration candidates for
Congress. who, two short years ago de-
nouncing ARTHUR, are now lauding the
same man as President Of the United States
and accepting office at his hands.

The following comes from, not one but
several Democrats
GLADE SPRING, WASHINGTON co., Va,
July II, 1882. )
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Glade Spring, through all the years in
which the State debt has been agitated, has
been the banner precinct OF the Debt-Pay-
ers in the county, always giving heavy
majority for the nominees OF the Conserva-
tive Democratic party always contending
that reimbursement had nothing to do
with national issues: that it was enough
to know Of, an aspirant for congress
sional honors that he had been and
then was true to the principles OF Con-
sentative Democracy. In the present con-
dition of political parties they fail to dis
tinguish any inconsistency in the position
they now occupy-that OF solid supporters
OF the Hon. John l.. Massey for congress
man at large. They have confidence in his
integrity us man, and recognize the debt
OF gratitude they owe one who stood
almost alone in the breach and stayed the
tide OF corruption and infamy that swept
over the State. And more than this, they
recognize the fact that Radicalism is in the
ascendency in Virginia. and do not hesi-
tate 10 av0W their Delel tlal Jonil L.. Mis-
sey is the man in whose hands rests the
balance Of power, and through whose lead.
ership we can emerge from the tangles OF
bossism. They beg to say through your
columns to their fellow Democrats in the
State that they do not propose to LET
any saueamishness or false pride de-
ter them from a course which they
believe to be dictated not only by the
best policy, but sanctioned by the sternes'
principle; that they have no patience with
the ultra soreheads of the party, who rather
than lose nomination for themselves are
willing to see the State indefinitely re
manded to Radical rule.
Let the people who are Democrats sup
port John Il. Massey, who is Democrat
and who under the most trying ordeal ha'
proved true to his principles.
Yours, DEMOCRAT.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1882-07-14

The address of Mr.. Massey will he ca
gerly read. II places him squarely upon
the Democratic platform, and in opposition
TO bossism and Arthurism. Regarding the
State-debt question as settled, so far as le-
gislation can settle 1t, he sees no reason
why either Democrats or Republicans
should longer divide upon this issue, and
he therefore returns to the fold of the party
to which he belonged before rcSdiustment
arose. Ddnuille Register.
The acknowledgements, Mr.. MASSEY
among them, deny that they ever left the
Democratic party on national issues. We
OF the Funder persuasion read them out OF
our State-debt party. They, or many OF
them, voted with us in 1850 for HANCOCK,
although they had a HANCOCK ticket OF
their own; and as the debt question has
now been sent to the courts. and we are to
have another national election next fall,
the same patriotic Readiusters will no
doubt vote the regular Democratic ticket

aThe great bulk Of the Republican party
hare hitherto has been negroes. A large
uortion Of the white Republican vote In
Virginia hitherto has been made up Of men
who were not Republicans from principle,
but as a matter OF trade and barter; men
without character and influence. apostates
for the price Of their apostacy, men IN the
community who would starve without
office, who became Republicans for once,
and whose tenure Of office not only addca
no strength TO Their party, but brought IL
into disreputc and turned respectable men
away from It," -. =,
"Why, sir, the White hepuphcah III
Virginia does not want any accession 10
the ranks OF his party. Triumph Is inc
last thought OF his mind. The place Is MS
whole object. Martyrdom soothed by re-
ward Is the whole philosophy OF his poll
tics. The moment his party becomes iarge
enough to win victory, his chances OF re-
ward will be diminished, and he will lose
all interest in the matter. He does not
wish the Republican party to concillate, TO
recruit or augment its following. His Is q

that pleasant arrangement, which is pre-
served by the past policy OF sectional BIT

"The moment his party becomes large
enouqk TO ,cin a rictory, his chances Of re-
,card ,riH be diminiShed"! Alas, how
feelingly do the Republicans OF Virginia
who carried on an unequal contest with the
Democrats for so many years, and SUBJ
iected themselves to so much censure,
realize the truth OF that statement, but in
how different sense from that in which it
was meant to be understood. Their party
"won victory" last year. so they vainy
imagined; and straightway they found
that not only were their "chances OF re-
ward"" diminished" but all gone. Gene
raj MALONE claimed the victory as his, and
was by President ARTHUR allowed to dis
pose OF the spoils. The rewards" were
in all cases given to Mahoneites. Surely II
these Republicans have any self-respect,
now is the time TO show it.

cision is wise.
1t now becomes the duty Of the people
OF this State-Democrat and Republicans,
Debt-Payers and Readiusters-to join to-
gether and to rid Virginia Of the Ubiquitous
boss system. In short time the candidates
for Congress in the several districts will be
made known, and in every one of these
districts the voters will be called on to de-
eide between rule by the people and rule
by the Boss. Let us all go to work in

The Convention to nominate a candidate
for Congress for the First congressional
district will meet ut Tappahannock on
Wednesday, August ODD, at II O'Clock VI.
The vote cast for Daniel will be the basis,

delegate for every one hundred voters, and
one additional delegate for every fraction
OF one hundred in excess Of fifty.
In view OF the approaching Convention
and the necessity OF an organized canvass
at the earliest practicable moment in the
interest Of ITS nominee, it is respectfully
recommended to the county superintend-
ents, as the counties were organized in the
last fall election, to appoint meetings at
once, to be held on their respective county
court days, occurring subsequent to the
Convention, to aid the nominee in his cam
vass, and select speakers to address the
people at those meetings.
