Work (. Work Work +!

Rnt four weeks will elapse between
NOW and the election-day. Four weeks
NAV seem 10 be a short time, yet much
effective work may be done during that
period. Nay. much effective work will be
done II the Democrats Of Virginia are In
earnest in their war upon Boss and Boss
ism,
Work for MAssEY's election because MA
HONE and all his followers are working
against il. Learn from the enemy. Inc
man 10 defeat whom MALONE would
sacrifice his congressional candidates in all
the districts is JOHN 4. MASSEY. why
Is II because MASSEY Is Democrat now az
he was in 1880, when be voted for HAN
CoCEs II SO, that is most excellent rea-
son why all Democrats ought TO support
him. Is il because MAssEY's friends de-
feated the commissioncr-oi-land-s billP
Then surely everybody who feared the OPP
Grafton Of that bill ought to vote for MAS
sgY.
Is Il because Mr.. MAssEY's friends saved
to the Commonwealth her excellent circuit
Judges and preserved the judiciary OF the
State from entire dependence upon MA
n0NE's will that Mr.. MASSEY is marked for
detraction and defeat? II so. pray how can
any friend of those circuit judges hesitate
10 stand by Mr.. MASSEY? Are they I'M
grateful? Have they forgotten so soon the
fears Of last winterY
Is il because Mr.. MAsSEY's friends pre-
vented the State from being gerryman-
dered 80 as to empower the Republicans to
elect eight congressman in Virginia that
MALONE hounds MASSEY as if he were
tracking him 10 terrible doom: This has
n GOOD deal to do with MAHONE's hos
tiity to MIR. MASSEY. The eight Ad--
ministration congressman will not be
delivered to Mr.. ARTHUR. No indeed.
On the contrary, MALONE must still be
content 10 see the old Democratic MEM
bers-RAN. TUCKER, GEOpGE CABELI,
GEORGE WISE, JOHN BARBOUR, and Judge
GARRIsON-sitting in their seats in the
House OF Representatives, and there may
lie in that body several more anti-MAHoNE
congressman not in the present House OF
Representatives 10 cause him to chew the
bitter cud of disappointment which MAS
sEY prepared for him last winter. Can
any Democrat longer hesitate to come ont
for MASSEY: The man but for whom there
would he eight Republican congressman
elected in Virginia this fall is not worthy
OF the support # certain good Democrats
l. ii possible that there are any such men
left in Virginia to-day:
Think OF il. The next presidential cleo
ton may be decided 10y the result Of the
congressional elections in Virginia this
wear. Certainly the political complexion
OF the next House OF Representatives may
be Democratic as result OF the successful
resistance which Mr.. MAssEY's friends
made last winter TO the effort to gerTyman-
der this state. The difference between
having from Virginia eight Republican
members and eight Democratic members in
the next House Of Representatives might
be amply sufficient TO give to the Demo
Gratis the control OF the House. The fact
that they had control OF the House OF
Representatives might result i'll the cleo
ton Of the next President OF the United
States by the Democratic party. 1t is not at
all impossible that these very results may
follow the success OF Mr.. MASSEY'S legisla-
tive friends last winter, important and far
reaching as these consequences would be.
Nevertheless, there are said to be Demo-
Gratis who cannot find it in their hearts
10 support such ''Readi as Mr.
MAssEY-a Readjuster who has turned
over the debt question to the courts, and
now claims to be nothing less than Dem
ocrat of the straitest sect-one who has
never east other than Democratic vote
as between Republicans and Democrats.
But we have not yet indicated what it is
In Mr.. MassEY's conduct that makes him
the peculiar object of MAHoNE's hatred,
and accounts for MAHONE's desperate ei-
forts to beat him. 1t is because MASSEY
delied him last winter and defcs the worst
he can do now. 1t is because MASSEY
would not and will not yield obedience TO
him. i it for this that some Democrats
will punish MASSEY by voting for JOHN s.
WISE, and others by refusing TO vote at all,
thus casting a half vote for MALONE:
No longer sulk, We Democratic veterans.
Come out from among the anti-MaSseyltes.
Nay, come out from among the Stalwart
Republicans. Your place is in the Demo-
cratic ranks. Your banner is the Demo-
cratic banner. Your friends, North and
South, are Democrats. Your associates in
Virginia are Democrats. Your Surround
ings are Democratic. Everything demands
at your hands the cordial support Of the
Democratic candidates.
Work, We Democrats who have from the
beginning seen so clearly the policy point
ed out by duty. Cheer the Respondent
rally the wavering; inspirit the faint-heart
ed; encourage the doubters; and help those
who need help. Pay capitation-taxes, fur
nish wagons, register every name, and
cease not your labors until sunset on tn,
9TH day Of November.
