The Lvnchburg YirQiniaaa remark

The Lynchburg Virglm5am remarks
that Paul-our John-''has proved his
apostacy from Democratic principles by
voting uniformly with the Republicans
whom he has aided to unseat legally
elected white Democrats and install in
their places negro radicals-one of them

Nomination of Hon. John Paul.

AS was expected, Hon. John Paul
was nominated for reelection by accla-
nation at the Coalition Republican
Convention which met in Harrisonburg
on last Wednesday. He will receive
the support of all the Republicans in
this district, as he is a stalwart Repub-
lican. The question is, whether any
Democratic readjusters have become SO
far Republicanized that they will vote
for him? How any Democrat can vote
for Paul, in view of his recent stalwar'
Republican record. is one Of the things
that mo man can find out" We would
rather vote for an avowed Republican
than for Paul. who secured the votes o.
Democratic Readjusters under the pre-
tense of being Democrat, and then be-
trayed them by going to Congress and
voting uniformly with the most extreme
Republicans. Such treachery should be
rebuked, and no Democratic ReadJustel
should vote for him, unless he has be
come stalwart Republican. A VOTE
for Paul is a vote for the stalwart Re
publican party, and the Republicans
white and black, SO regard it, and hence
they will vote for him. Will Demo
cratic Readjusters stultify themselves by
voting for him? It would be strange
passing strange" if they should do SO
They cannot do so consistently.

LETTER OF Col. FRANK q. RUFFIN.
The Richmond Dispatch .of Friday
contains long letter from Col. Frank
G. Ruffin, prominent and able read.
juster, in response to the open letter ad.
dressed to him by Hon. John E. Mas
sey. We regret that we have not the

selfish and tyrannical methods of the
petty Boss, and lays bare the corrupt
character of this man whose duplicity,
whose intrigue, and whose treachery
have given him national notoriety."

DEATH OF SENATOR BENJAMIN H.
R1LL.-This able and distinguished
statesman died at his home at Atlanta,
Georgia, at a quarter after six O'Clock
last Wednesday morning from the eff
fects of cancer of the tongue and throat,
from which he has been a great sufferer
for some months. He bore his suffer
ings with patience and christian resig-
nation. He was one of the ablest men
of this country, and his place will be
hard to fill. He was born in Jasper
county, Ga, September 14th, 1928; was
University graduate, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1915 served subse-
quently as member of the House of Del
egates and Senate Of Georgia; was af-
forwards defeated as the American can-
didate for Congress and Governor at.
forwards was a presidential elector on
the Fillmore and Donelson and Bell and
Everett tickets; in 1861 was an advo'
cate of the Union till secession had been
definitely resolved on; was delegate
from Georgia to the Confederate Pro-
visional Congress, and subsequently
Senator from Georgia in the Confeder'
ate Congress. After 1865 was. elected to
the United States Congress and served
till elected United States Senator from
the same State. He took his seat March
5th, 1877, and his term of service would
have expired March 3rd, 1888 His SEN
atorial record, both as party leader and
statesman, was brilliant in the extreme.
The dread disease that carried him off
though constitutional in the family, had
only developed itself within the past
few months.

Mr.. Hooper's nomination and pledged

WHAT ARE The question
now is, whether protested Democratic
Readjusters are Democrats or Stalwart
Republicans? If they be Democrats,
they will vote for Massey and O Ferrall !;
if they be Stalwart Republicans, they
will vote for Wise and Paul. Their
votes will determine whether they be
Democrats or Republicans. No Demo-
crat in principle can consistently vote
for Wise and Paul, who are now Stall
wart Republicans.
FINE CATTLE.-A correspondent of

"Mr. VIM. Hevener, of Highland coun-
ty, has been offered $50 90 per head for
116 head of cattle. Mr.. Hevener bought
this bunch of cattle for $50 per head last
fall from Mr.. Uriah Hevener, the cattle
king of Pocahontas county. This looks
like it pays to raise cattle. Stock is do

CAPT. PAUL SLIPS UP.-In a recent
speech at Charlottesville Capt. John
Paul, Coalition candidate for Congress
from the Seventh district and one OF
Mahone's political itinerants, gave as
one of the reasons for his supporting
the present Stalwalt Administration
that Arthur was kindly disposed to the
South, had given control of the Federal
patronage in Virginia to Boss Mahone,
abd Republican Congress had appro-
priale ed about eight millions of dollars
to the improvement of southern rivers,
etc Unfortunately for Capt Paul his
reasons are unsound. Not only did
Arthur veto the bill making these ap-
preparations to the South, but Malone,
who is the purchased property of Ar
thur, failed to record his vote in favor
of the River and Harbor bill; but,
stranger still, if we are not misinformed,
Capt. Paul lodged the issue, and his
vote is not recorded for the very bill
which he tells US gave 80 much money
to the South. Capt. Paul is one of the
best stumpers of the Coalition party,
but If he wishes to make Roadway in
converting the Tenth Legion Democ-
rscy to Stalwart Radicalism it is i'm
portant that he stick to facts and prove
his assertions by the record.-Norfolk

Col. JAMES Fl. SKINNER.-We deem
it due to the able and gallant Col. James
81. Skinner to state that he was not a
candidate for nomination for Congress
that he made no effort to secure it; and
that he had informed his friends that
he did not wish his name to be presents
ed in the convention under any circum-
stances. We think that the vote Of this
city and county should have been cast
on the first ballot, at least, for the able,
chivalric, and gallant Col. James Fl.
Skinner, and then his friends could
have voted their choice between the
other candidates, if he was not as strong
in the convention as either of the other
candidates.. We know that he did not
desire the nomination, and that he had
made no effort to secure it, and that he
had feeling Of relief when he found
that the nomination had been conferred
upon another. We deem it due to Col.
Skinner to state that he was not can.
didate, and that he had so Informed his
friends. We hope that his friends, as
we are sure they will do, will give the
nominee their cordial support.

FALSE PRoPHETs.-The Scriptures
assure us that false prophets will appear
to delude the people, and among these
we think, will be found the Editor Of
the Valley Virginiaa, who has the rash:
ness to predict that Paul, the Coalition
Republican candidate for Congress in
this District, will beat Col. O'Ferrall by
q majority of three thousand. This is
q case, in which, in the language Of
Shakespeare, the "wish is father to the
thought" We hope that every Demo
GRAFT in this District, without regard tc
his views on the State debt, which is
no longer an issue, will do what he can
to effect the election of Col. Charles T.
O'Ferrall, the nominee of the Demo.
cratic party, and as gallant soldier as
ever drew a sword in defence of the
South. Vote for O'Ferrall, if you are
not Stalwart Republican.
