For the VIRGINIAN.
COlOra6 MaatinC

On last Thursday night, Oct. 18Th, coored cit
liens organized a 'Paul and Wise Campaign Club,
by electtng F. L. Ware, chairman and James T
Anderson, secretary.
After organizing, the chairman introduced Hon
J. W. Poindexter, of Louisa county. This gentle
man Is an eX-member Of Legislature, and true
and tried friend of his race. He spoke for
and half hours. Great enthusiasm prevailed
during the delivery of his speech. He advised the
voters of Augusta to 'shold the enemy In check on
election day, while the counties below and above
roll up their big majortties for Paul and Wise .
This remark brought forth loud and long applause
The following resolutions then offered
by VIM B. Davenport, and unanimously adopted :
Be it resolved by the coored citizens of Staunton
that
/. We give the Liberal Party of Virginia our full
and undivided support In the coming election and
that we pledge ourselves to every honorable
means to secure the election CT its candidates.
2. We heartily endorse the course of Hons. VIM.
Malone and John Paul, in Congress, and that we
highly appreciate their earnest efforts for the I'M
provement of our people, by giving them tho bon

that brave and brilliant young Virginian, John s.
Wise, and that we d1sapprVve of and condemn the
candidacy of John NJ Dawson

between the races in Virginia, and pray God that
1t may long continue.

and so announced, was to throw in the
shade the New Hope gathering. The good
feeling and cheer at New Hope. too. was
genune-tlie yelling up from hearts in dead
earnest, conscious of the justice of their
cause, and determined to maintain it in all
legitimate ways. That at Fort Defiance
was all manufactured for the occasion. It.
was like the wbistlng of the boy in the
graveyard to keep his courage up. There
was hothing spontaneous about it.
OF course all the preparations and APP
pointments for the occasion were in perfect
order and OF the best, such as M ght have
been expected from the intelligent. generous
hearted people OF that locality. But this
was the enlvssuecess of the demonstration.
III political sense, it was boomerang, for
we heard several gentlemen say that upon
hearing Hon. j. r. fuckers speech esre-
cally his discussion of the tariff and States
Rights they would vote for Wise and Paul,
when before they did not intend to vote at
all, or would have voted for Massey and o.
Ferrall. One gentleman. an old line Wing.
who has not registered or voted for SIX
years. came away determined to register
and vote for Wise and Paul at any cost -
He said he could not stand such doct rine as
Mr.. Tucker preached. and intended to do
what he could to crush it out.
While the writer of these lines was not
present, he has heen struck with the ex-
pressons of the Readiusters and BourbOns
who were present The former seeri de-
lighted with the result, while the latter have
not word co say about it, and look in a
very bad humor about something They
doubtless feel the force of public sentiment
Instead of the vast outpouring of the peo-
pie and the enthusiasm promised and ex-
pectcd, the attendance was slim and the
feeling tame and suppressed. 1t was sor-
ry omen for November next. 1t foreshad-
owes the doom that awai its. from VIII ich it
is possible the BourbOns of Augusta NAV
not escape.
Liberalism is moving on. 1t is the cause
of the people against the rngs-the many
against the few-and by united act ion and
untiring effort the old Bourbon flag may be
lowered even in this stronghold of it's DOW

The Ohio Election,

The frantic antics of the Bourbons over
the result of the election in Ohio, remind us
of boy contemplating his first hobby horse
as the gift of Kris Knkel. The surprise was
so great and unexpected that they never
stopped TO inquire into the cause or stn.ly
whether it was really a subject of such I'M
told delight. The spell will not last long,
however. The ungainly shangbls found in
the papers and the eXtravagant exhibition of
imposing head lines, could not long enthuse
the solid masses or cause any genuine eX-
preston of pleasure. In fact, many who
claim to be nominally with the Bourbons
look perpieXed and troubled, as though
they did not desire to see any evidence of
party. and others cody assume that it
amounts to nothng-tiIat Ohio is a Re-
publican state, and the local causes which
brought about the phenomenal result on the
10th inst. viii speedily disappear when
party lines are drawn OH national ques-
tions.
Of course the tom tits and jim-drows of
the party. jumped about and caused as much
clatter as possible. They professed to see in
it the first omen of great political revolu-
ton, and assuming that all people were as
hallow as themselves, figured out the effect
upon the November elections especially in
Virginia, Pennsylvania. New York and In.
diana. They seemed to assume that the
T hnr 1r in, in "a l,n
other states would, in effect, dsband, and
allow walk over for the Bourbon forces. |
True to their nature, they have learned no.
thing from experience, from the fact that |

involved the most sacred principles of free |
government. They could not recall the |
success of an unholy alliance In Maine in |
August, 1880. and how it spread like an |
electric shock throughout the country, |
arousing to a sense of the impending dan
ger and of duty the great conservative DOW
ers of the misunderstanding in motion an in
fiuence which worked out its end in the cleo
tion of Republican President. Had thew |
calmly examined into the cause of the result |
in Ohio and studied the effect it would have in |
the November elections, they would not |
have made such llutter as they did on the |
spur of the moment. Ohio is Republican
by 10000 majority, and the fact that this
majority was overcome because of apathy
and division, and the opposing column in-
creased from $4,000 to 10000, will teach a
lesson that will be recited at the ballot box
in November next. Pennsylvania will
wheel into line in support of the regular
ticket. The leaders of the Independents
may kick, but the great mass of the rank
and file will come up in solid phalanx for
The regular nominees. and carry them to

columns begun to close up; kickers and de-

1t may not be known generally, by our
Bourbon friends in Virginia, that Gen. Ma
hone was nota candidate for office In Ohio,
on the 10th inst. From the statements in the
organs of that faction it might reasonably be
inferred that he was, and that the result in that
State was popular verdict against him. In
fact, We doubt whether the great mass of the
Democratic voters in Ohio ever heard of Ma
hone, and we are certain that his name was
not. mentioned IN the recent canvass. Nor
was the administration or Ex-senator Blaine
discussed during the campaign. 1t was neither
Blaine nor an Arthur defeat or triumph. 1t
was free whiskey against lawful taxation, as
between the Democrats and Republicans, and
free whiskey against prohibition, as between
the Democrats and prohibtiOnsts. The pro-
hibitionists took from the Republican party
all of their following, and in that way the
Democrats slipped in. OF course there was
a spasm of joy on the victory being announced
but that has passed away and there is no more
anxious and unhappy party in the country
than the Ohio Democracy. They know what
the next appeal to the people has in store for
them, and their little brief authority will prove
an absolute yexation.
Last week A. W. Slayback, a prominent
lawyer and politician of St. Louis was sho,
and instantly killed by Jno. A. Cockerill, ed
itor of the st. Louis ost-Dispatch." The
difficulty grew out of Slayba s denouncing
the Post" in public meeting. Col. Cocker.
i'll the editor came back at the speaker through
the paper. Slayback with friend, called at
the office and entered the editors room with
drawn pistols. A scuffle ensued in which
Cockerill fired, the ball striking and almost in
stantly killing Slayback. Cockerill gave him.
self up to the authorities.
And so Col. O'Fcrrall refuses to meet the
"quarter horses" What airs these candidates
do put on. One would imagine that OFFER

will find before this race is over that he could
not have beaten a three-legged mule much

Va, by near 1000 majority, while heretofore
it has been democratic. The people of the 9th
district ought to take lesson from this and
give Capt. Rives the place now held by Mr.
Tucker, for the same reason that elected Mr.
Golf. This is an age of practical politics and

The Middlebrook Discussion
reported for the vIRG1N1ANl

reported for the VIRGINIANl
The joint discussion previously advertised at
MiddlebrOok for Friday night between Col.
O'Ferral and w. E. Craig, didn't come off.
Col. Ferral was there and SO was Craig. but
the Col didn't care about encountering the lii
tie Re-adjuster, and so he brought one of his
leuenants along. To give you an idea of
Funder fairness, mention the only terms that
the Flinders would submit 1t was their an
oOntment, and they tried to make such di
vision of time as would not be accepted But
Craig was determined to meet them on any
terms. II was agreed that Harry Tucker
should lead off in thirty minutes, Craig to fol-
low i'll forty five minutes and then OFerral
to close IN two hours. 1t will be seen that
they gave Craig no chance to reply But
as if even this were not enough, the Chairman
of the meeting, Mr.. Samuel Goode, in intro
ducing Col. OFerral, made a speech of some
fifteen minutes, in which he tried to pitch into
Craig.
But to the discussion Harry fuckers OPEN
ing was funny, and seemed to be enjoyed by
the old and soon to be defeated Bourbons. For
the.most part itconsisted ofremarks persona, to
MIC, charging him with being Re-adiuster for
office, and asked if he was Democrat or r.
publican, to which Mr. G. answered promptly
proudly and sensibly,"I am Re-adiuster.'
Mr.. Tucker charged the Re-adjuster party
with being black Republicans, and said that
"Bill' Craig had swallowed a fly, and that the
little thing christened REIMBURSEMENT is dead.
(Oh, yes, the little thing is dead. Tucker made
little or no argument for his side, and after
few anecdotes, which of course did no good,
took his seat.
Mr.. Craig took the stand and ably and elo-
quently showed the people that the "little
thing was not dead" and that he had not swal-
lowed rs large fly as Mr. supposed he had.
He fairly scalded Tucker when he came
to reply to the charge of office seeking,
and showed that the Tucker family for
generations had been chronic Office seek
e.s, and that it had drawn more money
from the State Treasury than any family in
the Commonwealth. Turning to his oppo-
nent he said, and there is the youngest mem
Der of the family, and even he has been try
ing to get ofce-he stands before YOU to-
night an office seeker whom the people de-
cined to endorse.
Referring to Tucker on one side, O'Ferral
on the other, and Gocde in the rear, Craig,
said it would take a man raised in this lime
stone country to stand it. But with all of
this opposition he showed that he was o wor-
thy son of old the Middlcbrook neighbor-
hood, where he was born and where the
people all love him. His speech was replet1
with strong argument, and he handled the
issues OF the canvass with great skill He
made many home thrusts and was greeted
with the widest applause.

A STAUNCH RE-ADJUsTER.
Read and Re-read

EGecO dI1U fCO-r0dQ.
Last week we called attention to the fact
that a separate box and aseparate ticket would
be required to vote on the constitutional amend
ments. We find in the Woodstock Vaaytnean,
the matter placed in perspicuous order, and
we insert it, calling especial attention to it.
That paper says:
AT the approaching election every voter will
cast two ballots.
At every election precinct the Judges of
election are required to have two ballot boxes.
In one box all the ballots for congressman
at large and for the district should be depos-
tied.
In the other box should be deposited all the
ballots on the amendments
The latter should read For THE AMEND
MENTs TO THE CONSTITUTION"
OR
AGAINST THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CoNsTI-
TUITION"
Be careful that there are no bogus tickets,
emitting any OF these words or adding to
thtm.
Be careful that the ticket for candidates goes
into its proper box, and the ticket on the
amendments is put into the amendment box
specially provided.
Judges should be particular to make no mis-
takes in this respect, nor in maahing their returns
Every voter should be carefully instructed
so that he may know one ticket from the other
This is the end OF long fought battle for
constitutional rights.
May we not invoke the real patriot to give
the whole of the 7th day of November to
work?
If this shall be done there can be but one
ballot box, thereafter, for long time to come.
II this shall be done, the results of past VIC
tories are nthered parnerpd and rnodv far
use in the great Virginia family.
Let every man stand by his guns on that
day, and see that every technically of the law
is complied with.
Let there be no apathy. The only hope of
the enemy is apathy.
Look TO your ballot boxes Look to your
ballots eLook to those who may not under
stand the two boxes, and see that every man
votes Understandings Work
