The Way to Succeed.
THE SAME DIABoLICAL PARTY TO MEET.

The result of the election this Fall will
either rescue this State from ruin or if will
not. Which shall it be? It should be the
wish Of every son of Virginia to rescue her
from impending ruin. The hope is in the
efforts of the Democrats of the State
They have it in their power, we believe, to
save the State, and all that is needed is for
every Democrat to do his duty by working
actively from this time till the close of the
polls on the 9th of November. In the Ian
guage of the Charlottesville Jefersoniam,
sit IS only necessary to fully organize and
bring out the vote to insure success to orr
party.
The contest is now narrowed down to a
struggle between the Democracy and the
Republicans, for supremacy in this State
If the mass of the voters are made to un-
derstand the true issues involved, we have
no fear Of the result
We cannot believe that the people of this
State are prepared to endorse that Repub
lean party which was born in hatred of the
Southern people and has exhausted human
ingenuity in attempting to humiliate and
degrade us under the guise of liberal
movement the people are asked to endorse
party, which disfranchised the white peo-
pie and enfranchised the colored man, be-
fore he had any preparation for exercising
the right intelligently--a party which,
through its loyal leagues and carpet bag
gers, banded the colored people together to
effect their nefarious purposes and to this
day has striyen to incense the colored race
against the white by appealing to their
worst passions. This so~called liberal par
ty is the same which attempted to pass the
infamous Force bill, and which, for years,
maintained and supported, by the force of
the bayonet, bogus carpet-bag governments
overriding the wilsof the people and bank
rupting the treasures of the States. But
prating mediocres, leaders Of the so-called
liberal party in this State, say we are fol-
Arthur because Arthur is for us; and by
tuIS ouIG VI GtikA GLc pISSolOu lS LII W
be made that the Republican party OF TO-
day is not the same party that villifed and
oppressed us in the past. These same lead
ers are now engaged in banding the colored
people together against the whites by ap-
pealing to their passions. They are seek
ing to ARRAY class against Glass;. under the
pretense that they are the special friends
Of the laboring man.
They have converted the free school sys,
tenn, the asylums, and the State literary
institutions into machine for furthering
the partisan ends of their party.
In a word, the Republican party of To-
day in this state, manipulated by the meth
ods Of Gen. Malone, is as bad as it was in
1859.
Instead Of being liberal party, it is
controlled by the will of one man. The
representatives of the people are not left
free to act according to their judgment, but
a written pledge is required from these rep
resentatiyes to obey the behests Of a caucus
controlled by the viii OF @ single man.

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.
Our allegiance, said he, is, to the Ma
tional Democracy party of the people,
party that is least influenced by 1fionopo-
lies, that believes in a just limitation of the
power of the Federal Government; not a
party which rests upon an army of bayonets
and ofice-holders He had seen letter
interview y from General Malone stat
ing that the Republicans, if they ''did net
show too much squeamishness, would win
in the next election. He didn't know what
was meant by too much squeamishness, -
unless it was that they must not be too par
ticular, but he thought that the prospects
were of a Democratic victory in the next
presidential election. He read p list of the
States Democratic a. recent elections to
show that those who join Malone for the
sake of Federal office will in all probability
be disappointed, and as for Virginia. he be-
lieved that the spirit of liberty which is
planted deep in the hearts of the people is
more than ever now alive and will surely
reassert itself. [Great applause

Of legislation, proposed and perfected,
Judge Staples reviewed. He spoke of the
commissioners ofsales bill which they al
lowed to die because an amendment was

people; Of the bill proposing to vacate all
the offices of notaries public; Of the congress

Congress men, and of all their other mea-
sures to further prescribe the Democracy

BRING OUT THE LIsTLEss VOTERS
There are enough Democrats in the State
TO gain triumphant victory if they be in
duced to go to the polls. Those who have
been listless heretofore should be aroused
aud those who have stayed away from the
polls should be brought out on the 9Th OF
November
AS the 46ingdon Vuginian says, ''this is
no time for laggards aud drones, This is
no time to display personal Or political
prejudices. This is no time to sit back
with folded arms and in supreme indiffer-
ence. This isno time to show your little
ness of souI, by saying: eff can't work
in the lead I won't work at all.
AS for ourselves, we now enter our sol
emn protest against the recognition hereaf-
ter, Of any claim whatever, from any man,
who refuses or neglects to do what he can,
however little it may be, in this fight of
Democracy against Republicanism. Past
service, as well as merit, shall bs our test
Of official fitness, After victory is won
there will be plenty Of applicants for party
favor, and our reply shall be, ''shcw your
account book, boys
The people will remember who works
and who don't ia this contest. Every man
can bring some one to the polls who hasn't
voted for years, if ever. They can see that
every Democratic voter is registered, and
then give the 6th day OF next November to
the service of their State and party.
Don't be discouraged if you can't make
as large break into the ranks of the enc
my as may be expected. Save every man
you can from the Republican party, but
by all means organize and stir up the silent
vote, and see that they go TO the polls"

g'ne Mask Thrown Of.

The mask Of the iIahOneite leaders Is
beginning to tall OF, and they are begin
ming TO appear in their true character as
Republicans who have been imposing them
selves upon the honest masses Of Demo
cratic Readjusters as Democrats.
In a discussion between Hon. John Goode
and Capt. John S. Wise at Williamsburg
on Monday of last week, Goode asked Wise
with which party he intended to vote next
year, when Wise was candid enough, as
reported by a correspondent Of the Rich
mond Dispatch, to reply S follows:
s'You may put me down as a Republican,
and if Chester 4. Arthur is nominated
next year for the presidency l will stump
the State for him from Lee to Accomac. "
And so they all would reply, if they were
candid enough to avow their purpose.
They think it TOO early to make their pur-
pose known in this canvass, as they wish
still to deceive the Democratic Readjusters
who have followed them heretofore. They
know that in the election o. next year,
they viii be compelled to show with which
party they will vote, as there will be but
two tickets in the feld-tbe Democratic
and Republican-and they think that il
they can get Democratic ReadiUsters to
vote the Coalition ticket this year, which
is really, but not confesscdly, Republican,
that next year they will vote openly for tn
Republican ticket, and avow themselves
Republicans. At this time, they seek to
conceal their purpose, aud hence, like the
venerable editor of the Bridgewater tour
mol, and the Coalition candidates in this
county, they decline TO answer whether
they will vote next year for the Democratic
or Republican candidates A vote this;Fall
for the candidates Of the Coalition party is
vote for the Republican party. This, the
Republicans understand very well, and
hence they support the Coalition candi-
dates, though they decline, to avow them
selves Republicans. The Democratic Re
adjusters should be as able to understand
this game as the Republicans. They should
not allow the Republicans and Malone to
make cat's-paws Of them to subserve the
interests Of the Republican party, and to
make them act with the worst and most
extreme Radical wing of the Republican
party. With the lights now before the
people, it is truly Strange, passing
strange" that any Democrat can allow
himself to be inveigled into the support of
the Coalition-Reppbican party.
Marshall Mccormick, well-known law
yer of Clarke county, was nominated for
the Senate for the twelfth district, and
David Meade for the House of Delegates.
by the Democratic convention which met
at Berryville last Thursday. Carter M.
Louthan is the Coalition candidate for the
Senate.
Commissioner Raum expressed the cor
rect view of his party in Virginia, when be
said, it had too much negro in it to succeed,
and that if Mahone's experiment failed to
carry whites enough into it to make it res
pectable, that the party in the State had as
well be abandoned.

Step by step, under the Malone regime,

Judge Staples declared that he believed,
though of course the evidence was not in
his hands to prove that there is bargain
by which Arthur is to give Malone control
Of the offices and patronage of the Federal
Government in Virginia, and Malone is to
deliver to him the State in the presidential
election

In calling upon the counties largely
Democratic to poll their whole strength,
the LynchbWg Adea@ce says =
awe believe with q full vote Of those
who are honestly and earnestly Democrats
we can carry Virginia by $4,000 majority.
Malone has been claiming Virginia for Ar
thur in 1884; in fact, he has been trying to
boom his Radical friend and ally at the
North by alleging that Virginia can, by
Malone, be carried for Arthur. Now we
must show by the vote this fall that this is
untrue, and SO we shall clip the Boss s
wings and let his pretences down. Our
large counties must do this.
We hope no Democrat in this county
will fail to do his duty. Let us have a
large vote.

Another CoaIiti0n CanEaSSer Forced
Confess The Masks Fall.

There was discussion at King and Queen
Courthouse last Thursday between Hon.
Geo. D. Wise, Democrat, and Capt. Pat
McCaull, Coalitionist, in the cause Of which
Wise asked McCaull ''whether he intended
to act in the Presidential election with the
Democratic or Republican party?" to which
McCaull replied that Che would support any
body III opposition to the Democratic nomi-
pee.V Capt. John S. Wise, another Coali-
ZIONIST canvaSser, has also acknowledged
that he would canvass the State in support
Of the election of Arthur if he should be the
Republican nominee. Thus would aIllthe
Coalitionist canvassers acknowledge their
purpose to support the Republican nomi-
nee if they would express their purpose,
and yet they have the ''cheek" to ask DEM
ocratic Readjusters to act with the Coalition
party 1t is al INSULT to their intelligence
aud patriotism. Don't vote for any man
who will not avow his purpose to support
the nominee OF the National Democratic
Convention. Those who decline to do so,
intend to vote for the Republican nominee
1t would be much more manly for them to
acknowledge it, like John S. Wise and Pat
McCaull, than to feign that they do not
know. They do not deceive the people in
that way, though that may be their pur-
pose, for the people know that when men
in this section decline to say with which
party they will act in 1884, that it is their
purpose to act with the Republican party.
Every candidate should be made to avow
publicly which party he will support, aud
such rs decline to do so, should not be sup
ported by any others than Republicans.
STILL UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO AN
swER.-Our venerable and amiable brother
Barbee Of the Bridggwater Jor1al is still
unable or unwilling to say whether he will
vote next year for tho nominee Of the Ma
tional Democratic; Or National Republican
convention. AS he is a candidate for election
by the people for the circuit court cerkship
Of Rockingham county, made vacant by
the death OF jos. H. Shue, and temporarily
filed by Newman Black by appointment,
he should be enabled to say which party it
! is whose nominee for President he will sup
port, for otherwise the voters of that county
may conclude that a man who does not
know that much does not know enough to
be circuit clerk. To say, as you now do,
that you 'don't know and don't intend to
know for whom you will vote in 1884, until
you find out who are to be the candidates, -
will not satisfy the voters of that county.
They actupon the Democratic motto Prin-
ciples, not men,"
They do not vote for the man, but for the
nominee, and Democrats can now say that
they will vote Tor the nominee OF the Dem
ocratic Convention, and the Republicans
that they will vote for the nominee or the
Republican Convention, why can't you say
for which nominee you will vote ? are you
waiting for Malone to tell you?
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1883-09-11

Collector Brady, of Petersburg, is one OF
the Boss's favorites, and, as the Lynch
burg Viginian says, doubtless speaks By
the card when he says that Malone will
support any Republican for the Presidency
who may be nominated, even though the
candidate should be his enemy, Mr.. Blaine.
That is 'taffy' for Blaine--although it
must be confessed that, in asking an inter-
view with Dezendorf, the Boss is exhibit
ing more of the spirit of Cancellation, as
his political fortunes grow more desperate.
But as the Baltimore Day well says:
"Ghere is not the slightest necessity for
introducing any evidence to show that Ma
hone is q Republican. He is proud of it
outside Of Virginia, but when in that State
he and all his friends lie about it every
time they open their mouths"

part Of bis speech that produced the
deepest effect was that in which he showed
up the Coalition and exposed the fallacy of
the proposition that :'Arthur is for US. -
Here he referred 10 the fact that Arthur
had vetoed the river and harbor bill, which
contained $300, 600 for southern rivers; thai
in the appointment of 331 ministers and
cunsels, &C., the South had cotton but 26,
and the north had cotton BOG, and that he
had placed the entire Federal power and

hone. And, indeed, were Arthur for US,
should we sacrifice principle to that end ?
Not so.

and offered that most illustrious and gilt
