By the last election the ranks of the
anti-Bourbons were much confused. Some
Of them thought that their defeat was
owing to Republicanism others thought
that it was Mahoneism, and few almost
entirely lost confidence in their party and
were inclined to think that defeat was
owing TO righteous condemnation Of the
people, To restore order and confidence
to our ranks what was necessary? A re-
organization such as is now being sug-
geSted by some of our politicians By no
means. Immediately after the election
such suggestions would have been the
blindest folly. 1t would have produced
mutinyI among our ranks. Many would
have been so prejudlced that they would
have closed their eyes to reason, and would
have suffered themselves to be enchanted
by the Bourbon siren. Thanks to our
leaders the wisest policy was pursued to
keep our intentions to ourselves, to make
known to the people the cause of our de-
feat and to let the Bourbon pendulum
swing to the extremity of its arc. 1t soon
became apparent that our defeat was only
the result Of fraud and intimidation. The
Bourbon majority of II 900 was then looked
upon as an outrage, a disgrace to the name
of Virginia. In power through disgrace.
they turn their once boosted "honor and
honestly into shame and fraud. They be-
tray themselves. They show to the peo-
pie the purity of our party, the wisdom of
our leaders and the business Of our admin
lStratlon. Onward in their mad career
they have perjured themselves and are
now insulting the people by overriding the
constitution. What means this but rev.
Olution. In this boosted land of freedom
any strike at the constitution is declara-
ton of war. Now, what is to be gained
by reorganization ? 1t is said that it will
unite the anti-BourbODs /; that it will mar
shall the people into solid ranks against Op-
preston, outrage and tyranny. But are
not the people already united under the
Coalition party? Will not all who are OPP
posed Ito Bourbon tyranny fly to it as
needles to magnet. What can reorgani-
zation effect, when the Coalition party is
perfectly intact and thoroughly organized
Will it coax few hundred of our most
treacherOuS enemies into our ranks ? Who
wants traitors in the camp? At this time
what is! the use of meddling with well
enough While the Bourbons are work
ing for our interest, it is certainly policy
for us to keep quiet. Their high-handed
measures are doing far more to strengthen
us than amy move we can make within
ourselves. Let them work out their own
destruction and our salvation. They are
now daily strengthening our ranks. They
are making us an invincible phalanx.-
When they shall have completed their
work in the legislative halls, we will be a
unit. Then, the Coalition party can make
arrangements for the Chicago Convention.
In politics, as In all else, to make q sue
cess the ripening of the occasion must be
watched lArgus-like with hundred eyes,
and when the occasion is ripe work
Briareus-like with hundred hands.

The Austrian government has ordered a
state OF seige to be established in Vienna,
Kornenburg, and Neustadt. This gives
the government the right to search private
houses without Judiciary order, to exile
suspects without trial, to conduct trials
without jury, to suspend the liberty of
the press, to open private letters, and to
dissolve all public and private meetings.
These drastic measures, together with
the universal hatred of the Austrian POI
lice, cause unusual uneasiness and discon-
tent, drawing into the ranks of the discon-
tents many who would otherwise be peace
full citizens. and in fact, promote the al
lance of the Socialists, Anarchists and Nj
hilists
On Thursday the Bristol police warned
the Princess af Wales not to walk on the
suspension bridge for fear of danger. The
Mayor of Bristol had received letters
threatening the royal family. A farmer
who purchased a gun with theavowed pur-
pose of shooting the Prince has been ar
rested and placed in an asylum.

Very reasonable and proper from a
Democratic standpoint, for office and how
to get it is the beginning and ending of
the Democratic creed, in both State and
Nation. That party has neither policy
nor principle as it relates to administra-
tive policy. In this State it has repudi-
ated everything it ever proposed, and ac-
cepted everything it ever opposed. except
the deprivation Of office. Toget office for
its partizans it hesit;ltes not to override
organic and statute law and subordinate
everything to lie most reckless partizan
demands There is II terrible reckoning
coming and that speedily for political
power that is prostituted to snch revolu-
tiOnary action.

From the comments of several of our
Democratic contemporaries. it might be in
ferred that Gen. Malone was responsible
for the marriage of Fred. Douglas to a
white woman in Washington city. With
the same degree of reason he might be
held accountable for Miss Elizabeth Re-
becca Payne's recent action in Frederick
county, in throwing off the insignia of a
woman, which she had worn all her life,
and taking unto herself wife, after prov
ing that she was man. Gen. Malone is
certainly marvelously queer man in the
eyes of the average Bourbon editor. There
is no freak, however astounding, and no
offense, however inexplicable, and by
whosoever committed, that he would not
be held responsible for, il it could i'll any
way aid them in their partizan schemes.

"A, have thought to say word. L offer
a suggestion only, that it may be taken for
what it is worth, with the hope, however,
that it may be considered by those of diff
ferent opinion from me, tO-Wit : invite all
factions to disband-to recognize and sup
port the Republican party of the State and
bury the name ''Bourbonism" with that
of "Mahone Virginia, politically. This
will be, sooner or later, and best it should
be done gracefully, = quichly." There are
no BourbOnS in America that name
originated with Dutch family. which
intermarried with the French. Mahone's
effort to act the part of Duke Bourbon,
killed him, and thus it will be with all pol
iticians who try Bourbonism in Repub-
lican government. Is it reasonable for
men to leave a ship, sound, fully equipped
and good organization, to board bark,

WRITE HER A LETTER TONIGHT

Don't go to the theatre. club or ball
But stay in your tonight.
Deny yourself or the friends that call.
And a good long letter write
Write to the sad old mother at home.
Who sits when the day is done.
With folded hanGs and downcast eyes
Aud thinks # the absent one.
Don't selhshly scribble, Excuse my haste,
I've scarcely time to write"
Lest her b~rooding thoughts go wandering
back
To many a by-gone night
When she lost her needed sleep and rest
And every breath was n prayer
That God would leave her delicate babe
To her tender love and care.
Don't let her feel that you've no more
need
OF her love and counsel wise
For the heart grows strangely sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes.
Ii might be well to let her believe
You've never forgot her quite
That you deem it a pleasure when far
away,
Long letters home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends,
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxi, us thought for you
That thy mother hath to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put off
Let sleep or pleasure wait.
Lest the letter for which she longcd and
looked
BE a day or an hour too late.
For thy sad old mother at home,
With locks fast turning white.
Is longing 10 hear from her absent one
Write her q letter tonight.
