an Indian outbreak in the future,
headed by trained Indian soldiers
could be easily averted by scattering
the Indian soldiers among all the reg

lose all tribal or race spirit and be-

TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
| BYRD FARM, GOOCHLAND COUNTY, VA,
November II, 1888.
| Please permit me, through your columns,
TO correct the current report that il was
the mischief OF the Democrats that Snead's
precinct. in this county, was thrown out
| by the Board OF County Canvassers, COM
posed OF four men-one cOlored and three
white Coalitionists. / was not in any way
connected with the balloting at this pre-
cinct. nor was there Democrat connected
with the conduct OF the election. The Co
alition party had all three judges and both
clerks. II was not my legal duty to con-
duct the election.
was appointed by the Democratic COun-
tv Committee as challenger at this precinct,
and as to whether | discharged my duty in
| this particular / call upon the people OF
Goochland to answer. The conducting OF
Snead's precinct was not a case OF in
formaity or irregularity, but n PLAIN case
OF fraud, which was proved to the entire
satisfaction OF the Board. Even Clark,
the Coalition candidate for the House OF
Delegates, admitted the illegalty OF the
election, and went 50 far as to charge the
judges. &C., with attempt at fraud.
The two Readjuster judges at this pre-
cinct were promptly on hand at sunrise,
and they received a note from the third,
who was a Democrat, saying he was sick
and could not act. Instead OF comply
ing with the law by waiting one hour
and then swearing in another judge and
opening the polls. they-the two, both Re-
adjusters-immediately opened the polls
and commenced receiving ballots. and be-
fore they swore in third Judge they had
received one hundred and forty-three bal
lots. This fact | made note OF, and call
ed the attention OF the judges themselves
to the hour OF the day and the number OF
ballots east.
But il il was their intentto deiraud they
made fatal mistake in the outset; all
OF which was duly noted, and we proved
it by their own men, the judges and dis
tributors OF Readiuster-Repubican and
Coalition tickets.

Democrats OF Goochand, who have ever
been the champions Of "free ballot and 4
fair count" Very respectfully, &C.,

| preme Court judges, aud thus neutrnlize
the partisan composition Of that tribunal.
The Legislature has no such power.
The Sponsorship.

Mr.. CARLISLE and Mr.. RANDALL both
seem confident of being nominated Tor
Speaker by the Democrats Of the House oil
Representatives. Mr.. Cox we have never
regarded as bona .fde candidate. Such a
" little Joker" wouldn't do for Speaker.
Mr.. EATON, OF Connecticut, is dark horse.
We know nothing concerning the matter
except what Is sent out from Washington
10 the papers. But we are inclined to guess
that on general principles, or according 10
the theory OF probabilities, Mr.. RANDALL
Is more likely to be nominated than Mr.
CARLISLE. Why? For several reasons.
Mr.. RANDALL has the confidence OF all the
businessmen OF the Union; is opposed TO
any tampering with the tariff that would
disturb the mercantile or manufacturing
interests Of the nation, and has the repu-
tation OF having been in strumental In the
peaceful seating Of Mr.. HAYES in the pre-
sidentiaI chair in 1877. Mr.. RANpALL's
election would give the Democrats popu-
lar fact to handle to their own advantage
in the presidential campaign OF next year.
Mr.. CARLISLE is a southern man. Ii is
shame that this fact should operate against
him: vet all the same il does. Mr.. RAN
DALI Is not to blame for il. The south well
knows that she has no son OF her own that
has ever stood up more manfully for her
rights none that has ever so successfully
barred his breast in her defence-as Mr..
RANDALL. Nevertheless, he will get the adj
vantage of the fact above mentioned. This
advantage is not a great one. Perhaps 1t
will be more than outweighed by the sup
port which il will bring to Mr.. CARLISLE
from the South.
The result OF the recent elections in New
York must help Mr.. RANDML's canvass.
1t will not do to nominate for Speaker
man in whom New York has not perfect
confidence. We think this fact will result
in increasing Mr.. RANDALL's vote in eau
Gus.
The result Of the recent elections in Vir-
ginia has called forth threat from the
Mahoneitos that they will next year unite
with the Republicans and beat the Demo-
Gratis on the issue Of protective tariff.
Perhaps this threat may cause Democrat
or two to vote for Mr.. RANDALL.

duce such bad faith on the part OF the Vir.
ginia Democracy had as well be whisthng

But there is another reason, which the
Dispatch does not allude TO. 1t is that the

Unr Duty.

The triumph of the Democracy imposes
obligations and duties which must not be
shirked. 1t is our duty at once to allay
the feeling OF uneasiness and dread which
the teachings OF the white miscreants Of
the Coalition created In the minds Of the
ignorant negroes. Impress on them that
our triumph is their triumph. No right
OF theirs Is 10 be touched. They are now
as before the election our legal equals in
all respects. We have no legal privilege
that is not enjoyed by the humblest colored
citizen in this community. Above all, as
sure them by patent facts that their schools
are not to be disturbed, but that they are
to be improved; that the Democrats intend
to educate every son and daughter OF Vir-
ginia, white and colored ; that we intend
to divide the school-money per head OF
school population without any reference
to whom the money comes from. Make
good TO them every pledge and every plank
in our platform. Sc0ttSUite Courier.

William +. Sims arose amidst the shouts
OF at least five hundred negroes. He stood
on the steps Of the courthouse with large
torchlight before him. The negroes were
packed closely round him, and only about
fifteen white men could be seen on the out
skirts OF the black crowd, and they were
Democrats, who went TO see and hear what
was going on. The writer was one OF
| them, and we must say it was u horrid
spectacle-one lone white man standing up
amidst a vast crowd OF Africans, who were
yelling and whooping at the top Of their
voices, and at night.
He rose with the famous Danville circu-
lar in his hand, and the first thing he did
was 10 read the names OF all the sIgners
twenty-eight in number), men OF the high
est standing and universally respected. He
commenced by calling them all liars. Then
he began to read the circular by para
graphs, commenting as he went and trying
to answer the charges. "Another lie," he
would say at the end OF each sentence.
About every ten minutes for the space OF
an hour he pronounced the men who signed
the circular liars" and every time he did
it the negroes applauded. His object
seemed to be to in1ame the minds OF the
negroes against those gentlemen and to stir
up bad feelings between the rich and the
poor. He ridiculed most OF the signers OF
the circular, as II to set their colored hands
against them, and some OF them he charged
with the most rascally conduct. Not salts
fed with abusing those whose names were
on the paper, he went cut Of his way to
attack other good and honorable white
citizens. He said the circular contained
forty-fve lies, and the men who endorsed
it knew they were lies. When he finished
reading and commenting on the document
he read the names Of the twenty-eight
signers a second time, saying they were all
a set OF liars. scoundrels, and towards"
Just think OF il: a speaker denouncing
in that style twenty-eight OF our most re-
specied citizens and the negroes yelling
their applause with hellish delight. Can
anything be imagined better calculated to
bring on row? And yet those white
Democrats who heard the diabolical ha-
rangue and heard the shouts Of the ne
groes stood it. And they did it for the
sake OF peace. II is great wonder that
some man, inflamed by the insults offered
to him and his friends, did not offer yio-
lence to the speaker Had he done so a
more bloody scene would have followed
than that which was enacted on the follow
Ing day.
Thanks to the high sense Of duty Of our
law-abiding citizens and their love Of
peace, they bore it all. and not hair OF
Sims's head was touched. Moreover, they
permitted him TO get in buggy with
James Verser and drive out OF town next
day unmolested. They knew that il any
one of them had attacked him il would in
all probability result in general hight be-
tween the whites and blacks. We are glad
that il so happened, as it places our men In
| the right.
