to help swell the victorious Cleveland
column Gov. Carroll, of Maryland, in
his eagerness to be IN with the first, came
up to the immediate front of the Chair
and transferred the 16 votes of his State.
1t would be folly to attempt to picture
the scene. What had at one time looked
very much like stampede from Cleveland
had singularly. as it might seem, resulted
into stampede to him. Indiana caught
the infection and changed her solid vote
to Cleveland. Before the changing of
votes commenced Hendricks had received
about $50 only, not one Of which came
from the column figured up for Cleveland
last night. After what seemed an almost
intermirable period the changes were
reached the Sums total added up ard the
result formally proclaimed, while all the
people shouted.
An immense oil portrait of Governor
Cleveland was brought out and placed on
the table III front of the presiding officer.
The nomination was made unan imous by
reclamation on the motion of Mr. Hen
bricks, and after the reading Of q consra-
tulatory telegram from Governor Hoad
ley the convention took a recess until 5
O'Clock.

The South River Primary.

WAYNEsBoRo, VA, July Is, 1884.
Editor indicator:
The Spectator of this date in reporting
the proceedings of the County Democrat
ic Committee, fixes the place of our town
ship meeting at Fishersvslle instead Of
Waynesboro, the usual place.
My object is to inquire whether the
Committee has not acted thoughtlessly in
transferring the place of meeting to a pre-
cinct which casts 142 Democratic votes
and removing it from one which casts
349-practically DISTINGUISHING large
number of voters who have neither the time
nor facility for attending the meeting at
Fishersville, five miles off. South River
township has four voting places. and the
combined Democratic vote outside
of Waynesboro amounts to 276 votes,
whilst this precinct casts $40. IT the OBJ
ject is to give expression to the Dem ocrat-
ic majority in the township it seems that
considered from that standpoint Waynes-
boro should be the place of holding the
convention. 1 write for information; but
in behalf Of the disfranchised voters I
protest against the change of place as not
in accord with the will OF the majority.

Cleveland, and indeper dent Republican
clubs organizing in those States to sup
port him. 1t is rare sight in American
politics, and one that would never have
been brought about, save by the general
corruption and official responsibility
which has pervadcd the national govern
ment for the last twenty years.
This is pleasant field on which to base
expectations as to the final result. The
Democrats enter upon precisely the
same field that they entered in 1876. The
result hangs now as it did then on New
York. The Democratic candidate has the
same opposition from Tammany that MI.
Tilden had, but with it comes the support
of an Independent Republican vote-how
large cannot be known-which Mr.. Til
den had not. The Greenback and Anti
monopoly vote poled this year under But
Ter will be about the same as it was eight
years ago, and to it both parties will con-
tribute about the same proportion as then.
The Republicans enter the contest under
leadership that has brought down execra-
tions on the party managers both since and
before the nomination. They are appealing
to people who have tired of their appeals
and of them. They bring broken prom
ises of reform in government, broken
promises of genuine revision of the tariff,
broken promises about the disposition of
the public lands, broken promises about
reform in the civil service, shams of plat
forms, and the patience of the American
people with them is worn out.
Without patriotism-which has long
since been subordinated to greed for
spoils; without honesty, which has long
since been abandoned for trickery with
out reliability. which has long since been
forfeited in broken pledges-the Republi-
can party can present no plea to the
thoughtful mind of that people on which
to base the hope of securing their conf
dence again.

to carry out that promise, whose whole
career in public life has been spent in re-
forming every government, municipal and
State, which has been entrusted to him.
The National Democratic Convention
having guaranteed protection to the in
dustries of the nation. it only remains for
the people to choose as their representa-
tives, men who are in accord with that
guarantee in it's letter and spirit, and when
the governmental change comes the
development of the resources OF the
Southern States will receive new impe-
tus.

POLITICAL NOTES AND
COMNENTS

The Republicans when they nominated
Blaine had five months in which to make
the "audacious campaign" predicted to
follow the nomination. One month and
half of the time has gone and no sign
yet of the campaign. Blaine's magnetism
has proved of deceptive quality.
Hon. H. G. Parsons, of Rock bridge, has
written to the Richmond "Dispatch, !"
contradicting the report that he would be
a Republican candidate for Congress in
the 10th district. He adds, that II shall
not enter the. political field and undertake
work for which have neither taste, train
ing, talent, nor ambition"
The contested elections this Congress
cost the country $44, $50. OF this amount
Judge John Paul got $1,000; John E.
Massey So 500; John S. Wise So 500; e. T.
O'Ferrall $1,000; G.. T. Garrison $1,000,
and r. M. Mayo 81 800.
Virginia has John S. Barbour on the
National Democratic Committee. 1t is
pretty generally conceded by both, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, that John S. Bar
bour knows how to run campaign.

Endorsement of large majority of the vo-
ters of the country.
A Cincinnati dispatch states that Mr..
John r. Mclean, of the Enquirer, has
$4,000 to he used in the campaign in
Ohio outside of that city. AS to Hamil-
ton county he promises that the Enquirer
shall look after that. and places its major
ity for Cleveland in November at $4,000,
The Illinois Staats- Zestunq, the leading
German paper of the Northwest. says in
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska the
majority of the German Republicans will
without doubt voice their indignant pro-
test against temperance tyranny by voting
for Cleveland.

There is no more valuable aid to bring

paper visiting the homes of the voters
every week, laden with the political news
of the day, and the Democrats of Augusta
can do no more effective and lasting cam
paign work than to circulate it freely
Many of your neighbors have no paper at
all, or, still worse, may have none except
Republican campaign papers sent to the m
free from abroad. The rates at which
this paper is furnished as given above, are
cheap enough to put it in every house in
the county, if our Democratic friends will
use effort to aid it's circulation. Those
who raise the clubs will receive ten per
cent. on the amount of money sent. SO

SOMETHING THE COUNTY COM
MITTEE CAN MEND.

SOMETHING THE COUNTY COM
MITTEE CAN MEND.
We learn that intense dissatisfaction has
been aroused among the Democrats in
Waynesboro and vicinity by the change
of the place for holding the primary for
South River District, from that town to
Fishersyllle. The fact given by a cores
pondent elsewhere that Waynesboro polls
349 Democratic votes, and that all the
other precincts in the district combined
poll 276, appears to us unanswerable as to
the propriety of keeping the meeting place
there. There seems also to be complaint
about the change of time of ward meet
ings in Staunton from Saturday to Mon
day. The call of the Congressional Com
mittee on which our Committee based its
action suggests the pri maries to be held
at the times and places usual" to the
voters, a suggestion which if followed
would have avoided all cause of complaint.
1t is not too late to remedy the matter
and the County Committee can easily do
so by assembling and restoring the old and
familiar times and places. The Democrat
ic party wants full primaries and the ia
miliar places of meeting are most likely
to give such.

dertakes to vindicate Mr.. Blaine from the
charge of having been Catholic in youth,

and bigoted argument;

she led him, he would never have been the
