WHAT THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC
PAPERS HAVE TOsAY.
Norfolk Landmark.J

A RIGHT AND REMEDY.-We are giad
TO say that the Landmarks article caiiihg
on Mr.. Barbour TO see TO 1t that we 90 NOT
lose our rights in the two senatorial dis-
tricts now vacant has been warmly APP
plauded by some OF our most practical ana
thoughtful citizens, who agree with Ills That
the question Is not as to the existence OF
these rights, but as to the mode OF assert
ing them In sufficient manner. AS the
case stands Governor Cameron and Gene
raj Malone appear to have abandoned
any idea OF cncountering the defeat which
Uould await them in struggle over the
vacant seats referred to, and their expecfa-
tion Is TO usllrp the chairs formerly
held by Rue and Martin. To nomi-
nate orr senatorial tickets has been
decided on, rs far as talk In town and
county goes: but up to the present time
there has been no attention paid to the OBJ
yious difficulties OF polling our votes. We
have right TO be represented. 1t is given
us by the fundamental law; and where
there is a right there is remedy. But
when the attempt is made to use the rene
DIV it must be adequate in completeness OF
detail to the emergency, and II Is In this
matter that Mr.. Barbour, as the executive
head OF the party. has to take the inltla-
tive. A gentleman Of his fine ability and
knowledge OF affairs. be cannot fail to see
all that follows on our suggestion, and we
turn over the matter to him in the c0nyic-
ton that he will be equal to the occasion.

To WORK.-We want to see the Demo-
Gratis 90 to work IN earnest. Work is what
will win. Close and thorough organization,
perfect harmony. and good nominations
will surely bring success. The principles
involved in this canvass affect every man
i'm the county and in the State-the liber-
ties OF all are threatened. The strong hand
of bossism has laid hold on the govern
ment of the State, aud rules in the interest
Of Malone. The people are ignored, their
rights trodden under foot, their free
dom endangered, and every institution
OF learning, the judiciary. the free
schools, even free-schOol books, every
office in the State, from Governor
down TO constable. are made parts
OF Il great machine that is run for the adj
vancement and the benefit OF Malone and
few OF his political associates. While
crying out for a free and fair ballot, voters
have been corrupted by money wrung from
Federal otice-holders and men bought
with the promise OF office and OF sp0ils.
While clamOring for economy in the
finances OF the State they have attempted
to create hundreds Of new offices. that the
Boss might have larger army OF officials
under his command. All these things have
been done, and more, equally as revolving
to the people OF the State.
SO it Is all these things that are to be cor
rected-the State is to be rescued from the
grasp OF this tyrant, and we call upon the
gallant Democrats to come TO the rescue OF
the old Commonwealth. Each one has a
duty to perform. The leaders OF the party
can and will do a great deal, but every
voter must lend them his hearty support
must work at home among his friends and
neighbors, and never falter or cease till the
victory is in our grasp. To work. To
work I! !

The late Senators Rue and Martin, and
the reported attempt OF these legislators to
violate Federal and State laws for partisan
purposes. Now, after the exercise of the
functions Of Federal office on their part,
and acceptance OF the office, il Governor
Cameron does not issue a writ of election
he ought to be impeached, and the people
ought to repudiate him. Trickery OF this
sort was the boast Of carpet-bag governors,
and has been the usage OF lawless Radical
ism, but no governor in the South who
cared for his State and people, or had any
respect for their laws or for himself, has
yet attempted TO govern by such ways.
