The prospects of the future become
brighter day by day: the signs OF the times
foretell change In the political complex
ion not only in our State but In the ma
tional Administration as well. The spring
OF 1885 will show us great changes. linen
will begin the cleaning up OF the rotten
ness that has grown out OF the last twenty
years OF unexampled corruption in high
places. As the revelation OF the mlsdeeds
OF the Republican party Is laid bare the
people OF the whole country VIII turn
away in sickening horror from the spccta-
Gle, and will wonder how they could have
been so deceived as to aid in the support
OF party that has done so much that all
men will call iniquitous, and that yet has
been able to conceal its sins beneath so
thin cloak.
Rally. then, Democrats, and work as you
have never worked before. The work OF
dethroncment is an easy one II all work
with n common purpose. There must be
no laggards. Begin now in the campaign
which begins within fortnight. Leave
nothing undone. Rise at once TO the full
measure OF the importance of the occasion.
Dethrone first that despicable despotism
called Maboneism. To do it you must
work. The willy leader OF the opposition
will scruple at nothing to accomplish bis
ends and in the endeavor to perpetuate his
"bosssm." lie would ride rough shod
over any or every citizen to crafty his am
bition. His political history is as black
as perdtIon, and yet he has been able to
caiole and iiatter good men as well as bad
men TO his support. The reward OF office
L.. ooo,,.oI ,,lo.o for many xyho orp n dis
grace to the positions they hold. This
must all be changed, and to do it will re-
quire all the active energy we can COM
mand; and whilst the prospects OF our great
party-tbe Conservative Democracy-are
bright for the future, we must remember
that the opposition fights for life, exist
ence. and Office, and will therefore fight
hard.
Rally no,o, and it win be easier next year
TO relieve the State OF Virginia from the
odium that has fallen upon her, and place
our good old State in her true position-a5
Democratic in 1884.

We are informed from a source that we
consider authentic that our old friend and
former t0wDsman, Write Gatewood, Esq,
now OF FauQuier county, in this State,
since the State debt has been declared set
tied has announced himself again in ac-
cord with the Democratic party, and will
support its candidates in the coming fall
fight. And thus il is. The old friends OF
Democracy are falling into line. and will
stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight
against Arthur Mahonesm.
(Lynchburg Advanced
As the election approaches the solidify-
Ing increases. Every day we hear OF white
men coming to us and colored men going
TO Malone. We think the solution is easy.
Every man with eyes in his head who at
tends the courts can see that the organiza-
ton and electioneering Of the Democrats is
for and among the whites; that Of Malone
ism among the negroes. 1t is to be regret
ted that this is so. IL will be worse for the
negro in the end.
