The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-10-02
October.

Five weeks from this day will be day
.,o,Ssiye of the fate Of the leader OF the
Coalitionists Of Virginia. On that DAY VIII
occur the shock OF battle which must
have far-reaching results. We in Virginia
are battling for the Democratic party oil the
Un,on. We antagonize a faction which
will disappear after November IL Vir-
GINA stands BY her sisters oil the SOUTH
ern states in their close alliance with
The Democratic party OF the nation,
or will b. come a power ia the land
in case Virginia deserts the standard OF
the party which has always been her friend.
II is. too. Confederate General that leads
the cohorts Of the enemy. IL is Confed-
crate General that seeks TO dissolve the
"solid SOUTH" II is Virginian that has
banded the negroes Of this State, with few
exceptions. against their white feliow-citi-
zens. And Virginian Governor has been
guilty OF the crime OF placing on the Board
of Trustees OF the highest and largest pub
lie school in Virginia negroes empowered
20 vote on all questions Of employing and
dismissing teachers, white and black, male
and female.
II must be, therefore, that Governor
CAMERON and General MALONE recognize
the pending campaigns one whose results
will consign them forever to the private
life they have so richly merited, or else will
give them high seats IN the synagogue Of
the Republican party. No wonder they
make desperate efforts to hold the ground
which they conquered in 1879 and 1881.
No wonder that we hear OF assessments
nnde upon dependent clerks and postal
Officials. No wonder they fesr that 1880
foretokcss their fall In 1883. No wonder
Governor CAMERON has consented TO take
he stump ss last resort. No wonder
that the air is full OF rumors rs TO what Is
% be done by General MALONE m this his
greatest extremity.
October will be packed to repletlon with
speeches. October will witness many IN
encounter between the allies Il Republic
csnism and the champions Of Democracy.
October will wind up in "a blaza OF glory
for the Democrats il every man will but
do bis duty. Let the speakers voices ring
out upon every stump, and the papers be
placed in every house, but, above all, let
the workers walk about our Democratic
Zion, and guard every approach, enlist
every man, and enthuse every Depocratic
voter.
October is the month for work. II we
a TO reap the fruits Of our labors on the
6ti Cay Of November, our labors must be
abundant in October. Accordingly, all
along the line yesterday the Democratic
guns opened upon the enemy. The reports
will be heard through the medium Of the
press this morning.
October is the month of fine weather.
Our Democratic speakers will probably
have no excuse based upon the weather for
not flling all the appointments which have
been made for them. Let no other excuse
be sought, Let no appointment be disre-
garded or neglected. Let our speakers make
the whole state vocal with eloquent and con-
vincing Democratic utterances as long as
the month of October shall last. Then the
"sun If Austorlitz "-the sun OF vic
tory-will Tighten up the 9Th day OF No
vSnber. The golden gates Of morning
will thus be unbarred, and flood of glory
shed upon the banners OF the grand old
party which has stood for principle du-
ring all these long years of poverty and
oppression.
