Work, work, Is the taIismanic word for
every Democrat from now until the close
OF the polls next November.
Never in the history OF the Democratic
party has there been such entire unanlmity
throughout the State. We are bound 10
win-and don't you forget 1t.

II two suitors will pay their court to the
same young lady, and one will besiege her
favor with serenades and verses ana the
other shall offer the mute homage OF dia-
mond ring, 1t will not take the belle very
long to discover that the latter Is the much
more attentive beau. And so in politics
the oratorical sutton may win applause ana
appear 10 be moving the face OF the eaftn,
and may really feel as II the whole issue
depended on him alone. Now, this Is
great II also very natural delusion. IL Us
work, management, combinations that VIII
carry the day in this the new age OF reason:
The people have come to do the most OF
their own thinking. They may like to hear
good speech, and yet not agree win IL.
What they want TO hear is some statement
Of good policy and good sense in govern
ment. Never mind about eloquence; they
want economy, civil service, publication,
and the public schools.
IRockingham Register.I 49,
Some men i'm Rockingham who claim 10
be Democrats say they will vote Tor Ma
hone this fall, but will come into the Demo-
cratic columns next year. Weare forced 10
believe that these persons have not thought
OF this matter as they should. What rea-
son can there be for men aiding Malone
in his efforts to give Virginia to the Re-
publicans this fall, who say that they Will
help to take it away from him next fall
III they think our State ought TO go for the
Democracy next year, why will they help
give it to the Republicans this Year,
Arlington Weekly vIrgInIan.I
The people to-day are asking: Didn't
Malone and his followers say they were
Democrats? Didn't they say they were
better Democrats than the Funders Didn't
they say that the only thing that separated
them was the debt question? Now the
debt out Of the way, and you ask them il
they are Democrats, and they evade the
question. Malone and Conkiing, Grant
and Arthur, are all in the same boat, and
the National Republican, the Radical
organ OF the party, is advocating them
all together rs members OF the Stawart
people OF Virginia ask him his position
are you Democrat or Republican The
people are beginning to think there is some
shenanigan going on. They ask, is Ma
hone and his party ashamed to own that he
is Il Radical, or is it TO keep the people in
doubt, so that he may quietly turn them
over to Arthur and Conkling. &C.? All
these questions are in the minds OF The
people at this time, and they do not intend
to he made mere puppets for Mahone's
dumb show that he is exhibiting 10 Vir-
ginians at this time.
The people once aroused to the true
status OF affairs in Virginia, we have no
doubt as to the result. Malone tactics
show this. IL he did not fear the people
why does he act the part Of political cow
ard? Why is he keeping back from the
people what they are asking for every day?
Why!
Mahone's plan Is to attempt to make it
appear that the debt is not settled. This
will be the burden OF the song OF his press
and his speakers. They will devote their
time to the debt, and hope by this means
TO so engross the attention of the people
As to lead them from his Interior end and
aim, and that is to RadicaiZe Virginia.
TO do this he must make large conces-
sions to his main support-the negroes.
