WHAT Il COALITION LEA D Err
THINKS OF THE DECEPW TIVE
CRY OF DEMOCRAT.

The following is from an editorial in the
Woodstock Vrginian, a Coalition Journal.
which is the organ of U. 5. Senator-Elect
Riddleberger. Commenting Oh the recent
utterances of Abram Fdlkerson in his let
ter, the Vireinian says:
This is fine 7Of course Abran is honest. He must
be so since he says 50. His record, too bears him
out He canvassed as Democrat and declared he
was better Democrat than Funders. His first vote
in Congress was for Republican speaker, Keller,
over the nominee of the Democratic caucus, Good
kind OF honesty that. Abram has lots Of that kind
of honesty in politics.
There are number of Coalitionists who
loudly call themselves Democrats and yet
voted for Hon. John Paul to go to Con-
gress and vote for Republican speaker.
We refer them to the Virginian's opinion.
There are some Coalitionists calling them
selves Democrats who are following and
supporting Gen. Malone who voted to put
every committee OF the q. s. Senate in the
hands of the Republicans. We refer them
to the VirQ5nian' S opinion. There are some
who still say Malone is a Democrat and
that Paul is "a Democrat. To such we refer
The Virqinion's opinion of the kind Of
honesty" man must have who convasses
rs a Democrat and then goes to Congress
and votes as Republican.
This Democrat" business is the thin
nest sham. The Coalition party in Vlr-
sinia has no connection with Democracy {;
it is simply the Republican party.

The Hon. John 5. Barbour has been
elected Chairman Of the Democratic Com

no candidate; but this gentleman seems
to us to p: ssess the very quality which we
need IN the man at the head CT our forces.
We believe he will work with fidelity aud
intelligence, and in return the people of
the Commonwealth should do their part,
and give him au undivided support. We
have a good General at our mead and

In the selection of the Chairman of the
State Committee the convention exhibited
no less common sense and political discre-
tion than it did in the construction of its
platform; for it there be a man in the
party who is capable of 80 arranging aud
conducting its affairs as to secure for it a
victory, that man is the very one it has
selected. With the united moral and
material support of every opponent OF
Mahoneism in the State. and that there is
every reason to believe he will receive, the
result OF next November's election will
prove that When the convention chose Mr..
Barbour it put the right man in the right
place-AleGandria Gazette.

.WHY NOTBE A READJUsTER. -

"WHY NOT BE A READJUSTER."
The Woodstock Virginiam addresses this
question to the STAUNToN VINDIcAToR.
We will be perfectly frank.
AS a matter of principle. There is moth
ing to readjust. Both parties have solemn
" declared that the debt is not to be dis
turbed.
We could not join the Coalition party
because that is the Republican party.
We could not join the Republican party
because we regard it as a standing menace
to the Republic. Its Capitalization in all
things is dangerous; its burdensome taxa
ton with a full treasury is intolerable,
and the corrupt pra ctices it has fallen into
betoken its early dissolution.
AS a matter of policy. We couldn It

4 "a TIL YEA r.

Eighteen Eighty Two seems to be more
thickly crowded with great disasters than
any year of the last quarter of a century.
It we'll deserves the name of the Fatal
Year. After all the ca!amities of 1882
that have appalled, the people, there
now comes another more horrible than all
combined. The little island Of Ischia,
which lays little way off from Naples,
was visited by an earthquake on Saturday
night last, and four thousand people in the
three towns of the island we're killed
Among the sad incidents since, has been
the arrival of steamer loads of motherless
babies at Naples.
Individual disasters also crowd the list
of the week. Senior Francisco Barca
Spanish Minister at Washington, shot
himself dead in New York, Monday, and
on the same day James Carey the informer
was murdered in Africa by member of
the Irish Invincibles who had followed
him from England.

THE MOVEMENT FOR a
PRLMAR Y.

There is 80 much feeling exhibited in
the county in favor of a primary to nomi-
nate candidates for the House of Delegates,
that we would respectfully suggest to the
Democratic County Committee, to consid-
er the matter and if they think it wise
adopt that mode of selection. A trial Of
it has this certain recommendation: that
it shuts the complaints of ALL A primary
will show exactly who a majority of the
Democratic voters of the county and city
want for candidates and show it with
arithmetical exactness. No complaints OF
packing, or of manipulating county dele
gates after their arrival in Staunton, or of
wire pulling or pipe laying, can justly fol-
low a primary. 1t is obliged to be fair for
the candidates and the voters come
out into the clearing to settle the matter.
Especially will primary be, welcome as,
for once at least, putting an end to the
ever recurring complaintsef thedissatisied
about a ''Staunton clique" We trust
that the County Committee will consider
this matter and come to an early decision.

"DEATH-BED REP ENIANCE."

n n L lid I'll II 1N L ~ C1.
Two of our Coalition contemporaries, the
Valley Virginian, Of Staunton, and The
Virgiaia1a, Of Woodst. ok, after prophecy
ing that the V[NDICAToR' advice to the
Virginia Democracy would not be needed
Ia prophecy which they have by this time
found to be erroneousj show considerable
unanimity in another prophecy-that the
colored voters will net trust the death
bed repel lance" of the Democracy. In
this prophecy they will find themselves
also mistaken II there is anything more
than another that the colored citiZ6n has
been quick 10 do, it has been to trust any
party that promised to do well by him. We
cite some Instances:
The death-bed repentance of Gen. VIM.
Malone, of Petersburg election memory,
was accepted by the colored men of Vir-
ginia and he was made an U. s. Senator.
which be could never have been without
their vote.
The death-b bed repentance of Hon. Har-
rison H. Rlddleberger, our U. S. Senator
elect. was accepted by the colored voter OF
Virginia, and that gentleman was sent to
the Senate which, but for the votes of COL
ored Republicans, he would never have
reached.
The death-bed repentance of Hon. John
Paul was accepted by the colored men and
he reached Congress, which he could not
do without them.
So much for the repentance of the new
issue who in their time were as good old
Bourbon Democrats, color-line and all, as
you will find.
They forgave. on its death-bed repent
ance, our contemporary the Valley Vir-
qinian, which as a Republican journal
ranks as the legal tender compared with
the New Issue we hav" named above. II
our memory is not at Fault it was such
that it could not stand Horace Greeley.
the lifelong abolitionist, and bolted his
nomination for Grant. And yet it has held
high place in the confidence of both. col
ored and white Republicans, notwith-
standing its Bourbonism of old, and stands
high in the councils Of its party-State
and National.
But what Of all this ? 1t amounts to
nothing. To be practical we must look at
to day. George Washington is dead. The
world moves. The colored man Of Virginia
finds that both parties recognize him as q
voter. He sees by the Democratic platform
that the education Of the children of his
own race will be placed under the super
vision and control OF men and ) omen Of
that race if the Democrats get into power.
II he has foresight enough, he will ally
himself with party which promises
him this most practical advantage; If he
has not, then he has lost All opportunity
Of making very powerful friends,
