.sThis WAY. Freemen.' p

This is the battle-cry of the Virginia
Bourbons. 1t was the utterance of q po-
litical traitor when he was in the act of
| deserving his party. and the high-Sound-
! ing expression was uttered to cover up his
selfish motive. 1t was appropriate that
the Lynchburg Convention should adopt
it, when in the act Of deserving its record
| upon every controverted question that has
been before the people of the State for the
past five years, in order to direct attention
| from their disgraceful surrender to their
| political opponents. Having been defeated
on the debt question, on the capitation tax
repeal issue, the whipping-post law, the
public school interests and on every ques-
ton and policy affecting the welfare of the
State, this routed and demoralized faction,
when retreating from every position it has
ever taken, screams out, This way free
men ~ Which way, pray tell us /? Is it in
the role of the vanquished, acknowledge
! ing that in every contest and on every
public question they have been wrong, and
| have been so pronounced by the people :?
| Is it in their sneaking attempt to steal the
| Coalition platform and appropriate the
fruits of Coalition legislation and admiris-
tration? Is it in their contemplate and
unprincipled device to win colored votes
by false and pernicious school policy
Is it in their Substantial confession that
they cannot hope to succeed, unless
through the colored voter, whom they have
denounced, wronged and oppressed for the
past twelve years What freeman would
want to follow the stultified leaders in the
disgraceful role they are attempting to
play ? The last thing a freeman would be
likely to do, would be to enlist under
banner of deception, falsehood and treach-
ery. 1t is not the act of freeman to fol-
low the lead Of men who confess they
have been false to the State, false to the
people and false to the country, and have
been detected in an attempt to fitch the
honors and the principles of their foes, in
order to win public confidence. Freemen
will stand by the courageous, the true and
the tried, who have given to the world the
evidence of their devotion to the cause of
the people in tangible acts, whose practical
effects have been for the public good. They
will not countenance deserters and failures
and trail after a whipped, routed and dis
graced faction. That is the last position
a freeman will allow himself to occupy, |
and the invocation, coming from such a
source, will naturally drive him into as
ISOLATION with those who demonstrated |
their love of. freedom, by breaking the
power of Bourbon despotism and eman-
cipating the State from it's tyrannical rule.

The canvass in. Ohio is certainly pro-
crossing finely for the Republicans. For
aker is delivering clear, sensible argu-
ments every day to good audiences, and
is winning golden opinions every where.
Judge Hoadly is kept busy explaining in
one speech what he said in another and the
worst of it is that people are beginning to
laugh at his squirmings. He started out
too much on the Daniel ''battle-ax" plan,
and got the edge knocked off at the first
round. Good solid sense, and q straight
forward presentation of a cause are be-
ginning to be more aud more appreciated.
The man who wins in this political age
must show that he deserves success.

A CITY ALIVE TO \ MEMORABLE OCCASION.
AND DETERMINED TO REACH UNPRECE-
DENIED RESULTS.
The arrangements for the coming Oriole
celebration i'll Baltimore are certainly up-
on u scale which must impress even the
most enthusiastic advocate of big events.
That the monumental City is looking up
and has caught the spirit of enterprise
characteristic Of the west is beyond ques-
ton. What she does is no longer by hal

ing ut all is worth doing well, now propo-
SEES to Guido even New Orleans in carni-

and Cincinnati have their great EXPOSE
lions. st. Louis her grand fairs and Chica-
go her SangerfestS, Baltimore has her sum-
mer nights Carnival. aud that, too, after
a fashion which all Europe could not eX-
eel.
1t would not be a surprise if Baltimore
soon INDUCED i'll an Exposition herself.
and when she does it will be business, and
no mistake. Having demonstrated her
ability to surpass everything i'll the mys-
tic pageant line ever before attempted and
educated her thorough going, energetic bus
mess menin public enterprises. the chances

likely than big novelty in the way of an
Exposition, With features never before
presented?
Already Baltimore is perfectin9 for the
Oriole festivities an electric programme
which will astoniSh the natives and the
Tuesday night of carnival week promises
a remarkable series of attractions in which
electricity will play Almost prominent part.
Baltimore was the first city in the Union
to demonstrate the practicability of the
telegraph, the first to construct passen-
ger railway, and the first to illuminate her
streets with gas. Now she proposes to
lead by a long way the display of electric
light effects-to be the first to prove its
wide field of possible operations The
different electric companies in the country
are becoming greatly interested in the eX-.
shibition. and will vie with each other i'll
lending experienced and practical aid. 1t
Will be a memorable night, and one which
it well repay a long journey to enjoy. The

is doing everything within the scope of its
enormous resources to make the celebra-
ton an unprecedented success. Rates
from all stations on its most extensive syS-
TEN have been put way down, to half the
ordinary fare in fact, and the details per-
fected for carrying, with perfect satisfac-
ton, all who may come, no matter what
the number.
The Oriole in Baltimore this year is in
deed to be a big thing, and those who en-
JOY the proverbial hospitality of the Monu-
