A terrible cyclone swept over Rochester,
Mimi, last week, tearing away a portion |
of the town, killing some twenty people |
and wounding many more. The monied
loss is estimated at $3.50, 900.
A. K. Grim, ESQ.,, of Page, has been
nominated for the Senate by the Read
justers of Page and Shenandoah. 1t is a
capital selection and will win. Delegate
Grandstaff was re nominated for reelection
to the House from Shenandoah.
The Primary is nice trap to catch the
unwary. Don't touch it. Let the bosses
run it themselves and do all the voting at
it. That will commit no one but the en-
gineers of the BOSSES scheme. Keepawa
from the dead fall.
In response to letter from the w. c.. T.
U. of Staunton, Mr.. G. A. Bruce of
Waynesboro, writes that the result of To-
factory to the temperance people. He
claims that drunkenness has decreased
nine-tenthS.
The way to have free and fair election
is to set down hard on the primary. Sept.
Sth. 1t is a boss device to gather in the
unthinking and rob them of their right to
vote as they please on the day of election
in November, when delegates to the Leg
islature are to be elected.
At an immense mass meeting of Read
justers at Salem on the Goth, to elect dele
gates to the Senatorial Convention for
that district, Col. Hansbrough was de-
clared the first choice, by vote of at least
20 to l. Col. S. Brown Allen addressed
the audience, said to have numbered at
least thousand people.
The Democrats of Rockingham county,
last Saturday. in Convention, nominated
Geo. b. Keezle, for the State Senate, and
G. G. Grattan and Jno. F. Soule for the
House of Delegates. The latter gentle
man was an active Readjuster until within
a few days before the Convention met, as
we understand, and will not receive the
support of many of the simon-pure, moss
back Bourbons.
The Bourbons Of Rockbridge have NOM
mated for the Legislature Col. W. A. An
derson and Mr.. M. w. Paxton. The Re-
adjusters have in the field James A. Fra
Zer. one Of the most efficient and yigilant
representatives of the county in the last
Legislature, and DR.. Hileman-both pop
ular, energetic and courageous. From
what we learn from that county the latter
ticketwill be elected by adecided majority.
The Washington Republican is one of the
best papers published in the country. Both
the daily and weekly are full of interesting
and instructive matter, fully up with the
times, home and foreign. 1t gives all the
important Virginia news from special cor
respondents. Mr.. Heber Ker, at the Post
Office, has accepted the soliciting agency
of this journal, and will be pleased to re-
ceive subscriptions for either the daily or
weekly. Call on him and learn terms.
Let the people keep their eyes open for
the Bourbon Primary ON the Sth of Sept,
and keep severely away from it. If you
go into it. whatever the motive. it will be
claimed that you are in honor bound to abide
its decision, whether friend or foe is the
nominee. Staying out, allows the voter
to select his man from those who are can
didates, and prevents him from voting for
no one he may please to favor. Beware
of entangements. Hold on to your free
dom. and exercise it at the polls.
Senator Sherman made his second speech
of the present campaign in Finley, O., on
Saturday last. He drew attention to the
partiality of the Democrats of Ohio for
renegade Republicans, passing by their own
prominent men for such ex-Republicans as
Ewing, ..Bookwaller and Hoadly. The
Scott law and the tariff are the two lead
ing issues in Ohio politics and the Senator
is a strong advocate of both. Ohio, he
said, had lost $50,000,000 in the last thirty
years by refusing to tax the liquor traffic.
The tariff has no ADLER champion anywhere
than Senator Sherman and his Saturdays
speech was devoted largely to his favorite
subject before the people-that of protec-
tiOn to American industry.
The Ohio Democracy is utterly demon
allied, and the proposition is being con-
sidered to take down Judge Hoadly, the
nominee for Governor. At last accounts
he was sick and Disguised, and failed to
fill his appointments. The Republicans
are claiming the State now by 10000
Foraker, their candidate for Governor, is
moving straight along-making practical,
sensible, convincing speeches and arous-
ing the old Republican guards to their
duty. There never was a more promising
and assuring condition of affairs for Re-
publican success. With that achieved in
October, then look out for the ground
swell in November, which will overwhelm
the Bourbons forever. With the Demo-
cratic party in Ohio defeated by good,
stunning majority, we may expect the
moss-backs to fall heavily in this State,
and fall to rise no more.
A CLEAN RECORD.-The Washington
correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
has the following paragraph, which en-
dorses the high qualifications and integrity
of the late Internal Revenue Collectors,
Bolts and Rives. removed from office
under the Encouragement and reduction
of the districts
Col. Chapman. the agent of the Treasury
Department who made the transfers of the
offices of ex-collectors Bolts and Rives to
their successors in the third and fourth in
ternal revenue districts of Virginia, says
that though these offices had been in the
same hands for many years, there was but
adherence of eighteen cents in the &C
counts of the latter and of less than cent
in those of the former, and that even that
little was in favor Of the government.
The Spectator quotes the following para
gIaph from the VIRGINIAN of last week
s'In the last Spring elections number
of Republicans and Readjusters were Ca
joled into the Bourbon primary. excusing
themselves on the ground that their party
would have no Republican candidates.
Such is not the case in this contest
The word republican, before candi-
dates in the sentence above was written
r211reSe3a fdfiae-the proper reading of
