was engaged in unloading it, when q
blast was discharged in quarry near
by, and one of the rocks struck him on
the head, killing him almost instantly,
Mr.. Mann was formerly Sheriff of
Monroe csunty, and highly respected
by all who knew him.

Let US hope, says the Nelson Eranai
per, that no true Democrat will omit to
vote for Massey. The vital importance
of the issues should throw every other
consideration into the shade. We stand
face to face with the question whether
Virginia shall or shall not be turned over
to Arthur...and Malone, manacled and
helpless, for them to work their will upon.
1t is the question of political freedom or
political slavery. 1t is the question of
self-rule or of Boss rule. 1t Is the ques-
ton whether the friends of Virginia or
her enemies shall shape her political
fortunes. 1t is the question whether
greed for pelf and place shall or shall
not have rule. It is the question wheth.
or Virginia shall stand erect, her limbs
unbound, her locks unshorn, her face
unmarried, her strength intact, or
whether she shall lie prone in the dust,
her limbs bound, her strength gone, her
flesh dinted by the heels and torn by
the spurs of the mad riders who have
thrown her down.

READJUs TER-DEMoCRATs - The
Richmond Dispatch says that whoever
votes the Malone ticket to-day "need
never afterwards pretend to be Demo-
crat for he will have taken service IN.
der the Republicans. He will have
done all in his power to betray the DEM
ocrat,c party into the hands of the ene-
my. And in this connection, let US re.
mind every ReaSjuster- Democrat that
in endorsing Arthur's Administration
he endorsed Arthur's course in advising
Congress to continue the int ernal taxes
upon tobacco and liquors. He will, in a
word, endorse not only the leader of
the very " orst faction of the Republic
can party, but the man who favors the
continuance of the most unjustifiable
tax which was ever imposed upon the
people of Virginia."

1t has become apparent to most men
that MahOneism is q coalition of the
worst and meanest men of both races,
white men, who for Office, will sacrifice
the rights and interests of their race, and
black men who will sell or sacrifice them
for SO many dollars per day or per head.
This state of affairs, seen everywhere
during the ribald campaign of Malone.

people, and the fact Is becoming patent
that the welfare of the State and people
demands the defeat of every coalition

ARE YOU REPUBLICANS ?-The Rich
mond Dispatch says that, "whoever
votes for Mahone's candidates for Con-
gress votes to endorse Mr.. Arthur's adj
ministration, and at the same time uses
his influence to have Arthur elected to
the presidency In 1884. Such voter
might as well come out boldly at once
and declare himself Republican, and
not merely Republican but e Repub.

known as Stalwarts, whose leaders are
Grant, Conkling, Cameron, Chandler,

Hon. w. D. Hill, of Ohio, said at
Waynesboro', that tn e man Malone ap-
peared to be distressing the Democracy
of Virginia very much, and that it might
be some consolation to them to know
that he helped the Democracy of Ohio
quite as much in their late election, and
that If Arthur would hold on to Malone
and the corrupt bargain with him in
1884, there would not be Stalwart Re
publicans enough in Ohio to make mile
posts of the State,

A BAD YEAR FOR BossEs.-The
people of oid Rome had the habit of
pitching their bosses from the Tarpeian
rock. They got bad fall and were
never heard of any more. The people
of this country about hundred years
ago upset Boss George III. and ring
bosses, and we have had horror of
bosses ever since. Nevertheless. in our
prosperity and supineness. we some
times forget those Jeffersonian maxims /:
Eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty /;
that power is always stealing from the
many to the few; and the bosses, the
modern name for tyrants, by their arts
Of treason, strategem and spoils, get the
better of the people for a while. For a
while only: for this year will witness
the overthrow and destruction of all
the bosses in the boss-ridden States

Conkling in New York. SIC semper

Democrats who heretofore refused to
support Massey have given In their ad
hesion to him upon the. ground that
they feel it to be their duty as citizens,
and as moral Christian men, and as bus
mess men, to sacrifice feelings of antip-
athy and preconceived opinions for the
purpose of defeating John s. WISE
Many men have become convinced that
Massey is better man than they thought

1t turns out that the gist of the disclo-
sure with which Mr.. John Wolff has

that the President ack nowledged to Mr..

forced to comply with, and that subse-
quently the President told Mr. Jorgenson

The Alexandria Gazette says that the
Governors Mansion has been made a
palace fit for king, and Col. Fulker-
son says one of the reasons for which
the Mahoneites supported the bill that
allowed the Richmond and Danville

its Indebtedness in deprecated securi-
ties, and thereby deprive the people of
the State of hundreds of thousands of
the money they had advanced that
road, was-for what purpose? Why to
give General Mahone's home organ

trenchment and reform that can be ex-

MAJ. HOLMES CONRAD AND MALONE
On Monday night of last week, Maj.
Holmes Conrad made al able speech in
Winchester. The Times reports him as
saying: "There was but one issue be-
fore the people, and that was the ami
hilation of VIM. Malone and the CO.
horts he was leading to their destruc-
ton. He believed that not one motive
had moved that man but the gratifica-
ton of his devilish lust and sinful am.
bition. Any other leader in any cause,
however vile, had some good quality,
but he would defy the sublest research
into Mahone's character to produce one
quality of manhood that would excite
our admiration.
Malone had deluded, deceived, and
betrayed the people for whose interests
he had pretended such hypocritical de-
votion. Pledged to an economical aG-
ministration, this party of public plum
derers had been guilty of reckless sx-
travagance and shameless profigacy
that find no parallel or precedent in Vir-
ginia's history.
