The virginia bourbon show.

The Virginia bourbons, who called them
selves conservatives from 1865 to 1880, and
flew into rage when charged with being but

executive committee" was in session at
Lynchburg on hangman's day of last week,
and that it made cast of characters for the
political comedy ofthe coming season. We find
in this cast the names of John w. Daniel, bet
ter known as the man who was beaten for gov
ernor by William L. Cameron in 1881, John
T. Harris, the "readjuster in the COOL" as he
styled himself at one t,.ne, and John Goode,
the friend of Dezendorf, of Norfolk. The
name of tho Rev. John Massey, who was the
bourbon general in chief last fall, is conspicu-
GUS for its absence. Why is this? Has not
the pipe of peace been offered - all read

but smoke and be brethren again? And are
the bourbons SO ashamed of Massey, and SO
afraid to seem to recognize him, that
they do not intend TO let him
speak from their platforms? And for
what has Fulkerson rolled in the dust at
the feet of Jubal Early if he is now to be left
out of the list of democratic canvassers? II

Massey and Fulkerson are thrust aside as moi
worthy to be included in the amnesty granted

of Virginia bourbonism is as rich and boun

Massachusetts, Politics.

Some silly Massachusetts republic ms of
the better class"-better t the republicans
who abide by party usages- are so frightened
lest they may fail to defeat Gen. ButleES if he
should again be the democratic candidate, that
they are discussing the policy of putting for
ward some democrat Of the better class, better
than any republicans Of the worser class. as
the republican nominee for governor. They
have already named John Quincy Adams
and ex-Mayor CASTOR, of Boston, in that con-
nectlon. The self abasement Of these
dry rot, sham republicans, may be counted
on for any lower deep than even this
which the ingenuity of their enemies
can devise. There was some wit in the adop-
tion by the democratic minority of Ben But.
ler the ex-radical, as their candidate, but,
unless the republican party of the old Bay
State is now the minority the selection of an
ard bearer would have about the s,me effect
on the party as the selection of Bob Ingersoll
as pastor would have on Baptist church
A few skeptics might buy pews, but the regu-
lar communicates would be good deal scat
tered.
If the real goody goodies of our day could
respectively control the parties to which they
hold some slack allegiance We might expect
to sec each party nominats political oppo
nent for the presidential race. Your real
aesthetic, all-wool, and yard-wide reformer
never finds any man in his own party good
refreshing to see the republican masses in
Massachusetts, throw their riders into the
ditch, and march on to victory under the
leadership of some bearded men.

"Let the People be Damned. F."

A stranger sitting on one Of the arches of
the ruined bridge connecting New York city
and Brooklyn at some distant day might, in
his contemplations of the rights of the peo-
pie under the constitution Of The United
States, find that there was no clause in that
instrument which says they must be damned; /;
yet if that stranger from Lapland or else
where) should include in his contemplatiOns
the years of grace 1898 ho would find that a
man named w. II. Vandorbilt-who had in
herited, and not made, fortune of millions
of dollars, which was earned by his ances-
tors-had announced ss u doctrine OF the

Tho New York Central railway" says
Mr.. Vanderbilt, "has real estate IN New
York city worth more than the entire plant"
(meaning capital paid i'm, equipment, and
everything else of some roads which seek to
compete with u.s."
Mr. Vauderbilts company owns the water
front from sixty-flrth to seventy-ffth street
along the Hudson river, in New York city,
which it acquired by having the city council
condemn the property and paying for 1t price
totally incommensurate with its value. Other
jobs Of the same character were managed by
Mr.. Vanderbilt and his associates, by which
the city Of New York was swindled out of
valuable property and franchises. IL is no
reproach TO man that he is rich If he
acquired his wealth by honest means, but it
is n reproach to a man owning millions of
money and property acquired by the labor of
poor and honest people for him to speak con-
temptuously of them and say they may be
damned. p.
Is Mr. Vanderbilt aware that the laws of
this country recognize as his equal in every
particular the poorest man who serves him,
and that when the damnation W ich Mr..
Vanderbilt invokes shall come it may strike
him and his sort, and leave the people out9

Arthur cordially by tho hand and informed
him that he knowed" him as soon es he "set

the President and inquired if he remembered
that his visitor had gone to school to him.
The President then recalled that, during one
of his vacations, he had, for the purpose OF
raising much needed funds, taken several
young fellows of about his own age to impart
some "college learning" to, and the man be-
fore him was one of them. The former scholar
combines the occupation of fisherman and
restaurant keeper, and informed the President
that no was doing very well. The President
expressed his pleasure at tho meeting and
the two parted with mutual expressions ofgood

The telegraph strike and the oversorner-
ing business leading to the recent failures
have been too much for the bulls of the stock
market, and the great gambling game has
been slowed down to an extent which appals
the dealers. This however has but little to
do with the real interests of the country.
The crops will not be effected by it, When
men cannot be coaxed into combat with the
stock "tiger" they will go into enterprises to
organize labor for the transmutation of raw
materials into manufactured articles which
will yield healthful dividends to the capital
and good rewards for the toll of the laborer

for speaker, followed by the nomination Of a

The Mississippi Bourbons Must Go.

Democrats are greatly alarmed at the
indications Of political revolution in Mis-
sssppi, which state they fear is about to get
away from them. The reports from that
locality 60 to show that the very best element
of the democracy in Mississippi is joining
hands with the republican party to over
throw the men who were elevated to
power by shotgun tactics and ballot
box stufing, and who insist on keeping
themselves in place by the employment of
white liner methods to the exclusion of men
of their own party as we'll as their political
opponents, The people have stood this sort
of thing until they are tired. The spirit of
revolt has been growing in strength for SOW
eral years, and when move was taken by
some of the leading "commoners" looking to
a coalition with republicans it took like wild
fire. Fusion tickets have been nominated in
dozen or more counties, and the prospects are
that the irreconcible will have to go this fall
| If reliance is to be placed in the declarations
Of decent democrats the days Of ballot box
stufilng in that state are numbered, With
tho God given privilege of corrupting the
ballot boxes and "killing niggers" taken
from them, the white liners will be unable to
do much toward purifying politics Some OF
