Our esteemed contemporary, the Valley
Virginiaga. is an intolerahle Bourbon in
the slow step with which it catches up
with the movements of the New Democ-
racy. 1t is evidently under the delusion
that it is fighting the old time Democracy
with its same old organization and candi-
dates. Why, the candidates now are Ed.
Echols and John N. Opie, young, live, ac-
tive men, who are canvassing in person
every square mile of this county. The
Virqindaa Wo,at learn anything until it is
too late. 1t reminds US of a regiment of
Pennsylvania Bucktails that persisted in
tie delusion that they were fighting reg
inent of Virginia militia until they found
them selves captured and on their way to
Libby prison. One half Of the disaster to
the Coalition on Nov. 9th, will be due to
the fact that they don't know who they
are fighting. The New Democracy of
Virginia know aeho they are fighting and
ho,o to fght him, and they have got the
ammunition.

of your earnings, then you are at liberty to
try it.

I Democrats note thlsl We hear that
prominent Coalitionist has boosted that he
has made fifteen votes for Fulcher by
pledging his own single vote fifteen times
for one of the Democratic candidates, in ex-
change for one for Fulcher. If true it is
the last thing an honorable man ought to
boast of; we now warn Democrats in time
to beware of any swapping.

The decision, Monday, of the Supreme
Court of the United States. sweeping away
the Civil Rights laws will perhaps con-
vince our colored fellow citiZans that if
they had not repealed the kindly advances
of tie Democratic party, they would have
ter disappointment to-day.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1883-10-19

Here is the game many of the Coalition
lists are working; they have no hope ex-
cept in splitting the Democratic vote.
They offer to a good Democrat II will
vote for Echols or Opie either if you will
give one vote to- Fulcher." If that was
generally carried out it would elect Full
cher. Let all Democrats beware of trading.
1t is not only dangerous to the success of
the Democratic party, but it is sacrifice
of principle. Beware of it !

A Dirge for a Brigadier..

Come not bold Malone,
To Washington to grumble and to groan,
When chill November's vote
Shall leave you screaming in sinking boat.
Just then our handsome President will fYown
And let you drown.
Ohio tells the tale!
No wonder that your bearded face grows pale,
No wonder that your tools
Begin to call themselves the worst of FOOLS
AS vanishes the guerdon of their toll,
Vrginla'S spoil
And whittier will you go
When comes your first and final overthrow?
What can you ever claim
From those whom you have overwhelmed with
shame
bow gladly will they then repudiate
You and your fate!
: Your represent abroad
A shameful bargain and wretehed fraud,
Race war and neighbors' hate,
The civil service in its worst estate;
And no repentance ever can efface
You dark disgrace.
The President will then
Be always busy with his facile pen;
And your so recent friends,
Because no longer you can serve their ends,
will sheer at you when you are overthrowp
Too bold Malone,

There Is one good result, at least. that has been
accomplished by the Liberal movement IN Virginia
The vINDIcA has at last found out that tn is
such thing as the People and that workingmen
may be entitled to some little consideration in the
administra alton of the government VALLEY Var-
ginidn.
We can't remember the time when the
VINDICAToR did not insist on considera-
tion for the people and workingmen Of
this community. Long since when the
old Bourbons of the Democratic party,
who afterwards ran it into defeat and
were turned down for their work, we're in
control, we denounced the convict labor
scheme of the State prison. When VIM.
Malone was voting day after day in the
U. s. Senate to admit Chinese labor we
opposed it, and when defeated IN this he
still insisted and voted that Chinese skilled
mechanics should be admitted to compete
with the American workmen, this journal
denounced it. When the Coalitionists,
your own party, came into power and
turned two printers out of employment,
the VINDICAToR made it its business to
hunt them up and give them work. The
editor of this paper spent most of his life
in a largely manufacturing city and knows
from experience the value of worklngmen
in giving prosperity, wealth and charac-
ter to city. In a city, when the mechan-
ic IS without work and Saturday night is
blank the merchant and the lawyer and
every other occupation have to take very
slim breakfasts. All classes are too in
dissolubly connected for any one to neg
lect or give the cold shoulder to another.
We have never forgotten this. We have
not forgotten, though the Virgiaaian has,
to call attention to the new programme
which is how laid out to introduce a dis
turbing element into the Trades Unions
OF the u hite men Of this country. Here
are the two resolutions adopted by the
National Convention of Negroes at Lou
isville, KY:
Tenth. We earnestly desire the abolition Of the
chain gang convict system, and the admission to
the trade unions OF men OF our oCn race. and to
employment in commercial pursuits
Eieyt nth. In nearly every State in the Union,
North and South our ra;e are not dtoaCed to enter
freely arato the trades or gain employment In the
tuIions and hurtIul TO the reputation country
at home and abroad.
Fred Douglas said in his speech that
the on-admission of blacks to the Trades
Unions aud as apprentices was wrong"
which the Negro wanted righted. Now
this wrong is expected by the blacks to be
rightel by laavs, sort of civil rights en-
forcement aud they expect i'll return for
their votes to receive such laws. We
should like to hear from the Virginian's
can didAtes, Messrs. Fulcher and Hamll-
ton, how they stand with regard to tn Q
adoption of these laws. We should like
to have letter from each of these gentle
men in white and black as to their posi-
tion On forcing white Trades Unions by
law to admit black members. This is the
second call we have made on the same
candidates for their position on this ques-
ton.

There is no kinship between the circumstances Oh
Capt FuIcbers nomination and that OF Messrs
Fchols and Opie The one was the unanimous NOM
inee of mass Convention of his party. The DINERS
were nominated by influences set in motion In
Staunton. and the machinery manipulated in the
county by persons aching III concert Will TIC oseiS
here - VALLEY Vir0inidn.
Not the slightest "kinship" you may
depend on it. The Captain was nominated
by gathering of men at the Courthouse
never elected by the people to represent
their views; his nomination was unanl-
mouslv cut and dried, and was brought
about by influences set in motion" In
Petersburg or Richmond or in the Revenue
Collectors Office The circumstances"
attending the nomination of Echols
and Opie were TIE votes of the people
all over this broad county, a vote in which
four candidates were voted for, every free
voter taking his free choice. The ''infu-
ences set in motion" are the ballots of
517 free-white- and twenty-One Demo
Gratis of Augusta. There never will be;
there never can be any kinship between
the circumstances attending nomination
made bg freemen and one made by men
merely assembled to register the edlct of a
Petersburg boss, a Richmond boss. or a
county boss. You will also observe on
November 6sh that there will be
no .'kinship' between the majority of
the voters who support the two tickets;
not even 10 the color of their skin
will there be any likeness. One set
with white skins will be putting in the
ballot -hox "Opie and Echols' and one set
with black skins will be putting in
''Fulcier and Hamilton; not even in
their haIT saFill you observe any "kinsbip'',
for yon will know the ballot by the wool.
The very cries of the workers around the
polls will be different; one set will cry
''This way, Free men,; while the other
will be shouting, 'This way, Freedmen"
All! there is no "kinsh1p'' between the
two parties now contending for Virginia;
no k:nship in race, nor political principle,
nor political methods. nor political aspira-
lions. The Democrats of Augusta proud
ly claim and boast OF their "kinship' with
the proud and triumphant National Dem
ocratic party of the United States, while the
Coalition leaders of Augusta are trying to
establish the kinshipo of disreputable and
tabooed relation with the once great but
now broken down and corrupt Republican
party of the country. The leaders OF the
Coalition may boast of the kinship, but
they will never get the honest old Demo-
cratic Readjusters of their party to &C
! knowledge it or to follow them in claim
ing it. They will be found at home when
| the cry of this way. freedmen" is heard
at the polls election day, and the leaders
will have it all 10 themselves.

The volume of business this week

a million Of dollars as compared with
this time last year, and the falling of

as to the usual slackUess 10 general

closing up Of accounts for the usuaI

of attention which will be likely tc
