With Barnum and Manning and Thomp-
son and Davis leading the Democratic
column and Carl schurzsand Henry Ward
Beccher, bringing up the Independent con-
tingent, we have the promise of an I'M
precedented moral reform movement,
which will bloom out into rich bouquet
of ethical beauty and loveliness, with
Cleveland as the central and most fragrant
flower
Such a set posing as Reformers is enough
to sicken.. the stomach ofEeven the Demo-
cratic party, and especially offend the nice
sensibilities of the party in the South,
where all the decency and refinement and
virtue of that section is monopolized, if
we are to believe what the Democrats
themselves tell us. 1t is q picture that
ought to be studied, for when Reform is
the object, and the contest is more of a
moral than political character, ac-
cording to Mr.. SchurZ and Geo. w. Cur
It's, the higher emotions ought to be touched
and moved, so that the reform column
could push on IN its holy mission of puri-

Irish American Republicans.

/ We publish the address of the Irish
American Republicans, in another COL
llmn. 1t is issued as a preliminary step to
a Convention to be held in Cincinnati in
August, and as the first movement in a
complete organization for the Presidential
campaign. 1T appears at an opportune
time, when the Democratsare resorting to
every device to seduce the Irish citizen
into the Democratic organization and it
is especially appropriate to Virginia, where
the order has gone out to seduce all the Irish
Americans into Democratic clubs, as an
effective means to controlthat vote in the
coming election. The fear is expressed.
VIE learn, that if this is not effected the
Democrats will lose the State, and hence
extraordinary efforts are to be put forth to
bring every Irish voter into the meshes of
the Democratic machine.
we publish the address so that every
Iris;hman may see the views which influ-
ence his fellow countrymen in their pur-
pose to support Blaine and Logan. The ar
gunlent and appeal are forceful and elo-
quunt, and will not be lost on many of those
who have heretofore blindly followed the
fortunes Of the Democratic party.

Extra Session Called.

GOV. w. E. Cameron has issued his proc :
lamation calling an extra session Of the Leg
islature to convene in Richmond August
IL. In his note to President Of the Senate
Hurt. Speaker of the House Stewart. lie
says: Still believing that an extra session of
the General Assembly unnecessary and i'm
polite, yield to the constitutional d, :
mand made upon me as Governor by two
thirds of the members of each house, and
shall issue a call for a meeting on the day
designated at the capitol in the city of
Richmond. 1t is understood by all par
ties that the session will be short and lin
tied i'll the subjects of consideration. One
thing to be done will be to provide for the
additional elector apportioned to Virginia
under the census of 1885, and which was
neglected at the last session of the Iegis-
lature. Another matter to be taken into
consideration will be the election of a
Circuit Judge to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Judge Dickerson. of the
thirteenth district. If the Supreme Court
shall decide that the apportionment BILL
passed at the last session Of the Legisla-
ture, vetoed by the Governor, and then
claimed to have been made law bv two
thirds vote over the veto, is nnconstitu-
tional, in that the necessary two-thirds of
the members present were not obtained to
override the veto, then new apportion-
ment bill will be enacted. Should this
question be taken up it may cause pro-
tracted session, rs there are so many con-
gressional aspirants, who would like to
have a district laid off especially for their
benefit, that it will be difficult to frame an
acceptable superintendent bill.
1t is conceded by the Democratic press
that there will be no attempt to modify
and re-enact the election law passed at the
recent session and declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court. which gave
the entire election machinery of the State
into the hands of the Bourbons. 1t is
stated that several signatures to the
call for an extra session. which were
necessary to make up the two-thirds, were
procured on the express assurance that
no partizan legislation should be intro
duced. We will see whether the promise
will be kept.
1t is due to the Numbering of the ma
jority in the Legislature in the recent
session. that amy pretext could be entered
for an extra session. and for this bunder-
ing the people are called upon to pay
$50, 900 OF $50, 900. There are 40 members
of the General Assembly. each one OF
whom will be paid $3.50, whether the ses-
sion lasts one day or sixty. The other of
ficers and empio yees will come in for their
regular pay. and the people will have to
foot the bill. Bourbon Democracy is a
costly luxury to the people of Virginia at
best. We hope it will be on Its good be-
havior during the extra session dispatch
the necessary non-partizan business
brought before it. and adjourn as speed
lily as possible. without the introduction
of any question that will arouse party
feeling and cause undue excitpme in the
Commonwealth.

"The Reformers."

The Democratic National sCOmmittee
met in New York last week, and elected
w. H. Barnum, Chairman, and #. y.
Prince, Secretary-the positions they re-
spectively held under the last National
Committee. Referring to this action OF
the Committee, the Washington cores
pondent of the Baltimore San, extreme in
his Democratic sympathies, says: 1.-THE
election of Mr.. Barnum and Mr.. Prince as
Chairman and Secretary of the National
Democratic Committee, is the cause OF
unmeasured disappointment and dlssatls-
faction in Democratic circles here. 1t had
been hoped that new selections would be
made for both of the positions to be filled,
and it is admitted that if the Committee
had tried it could not have done worse.
Mr.. Prince is very worthy gentleman
but in all the long time he has been secre-
tary of the committee he has been OF no
more use than a fifth wheel to wagon
He is chiefly distinguished for a pompos-
ity of manner of SO extravaganza charac-
ter as to make him ridiculous. AS for
Mr.. Barnum, for reasons which are SO OBJ
vious as not to call for mention, no one was
in favor of continuing him at the head OF
the committee but those who have kept
him there.
This is Democratic testimony in the
premises, and is very significant when it
is remembered that the position was forced
on Mr.. Barnum at the urgent solicitation
of Mr.. Cleveland himself, as W. see it
stated. Ex-senator Wallace, Of Pennsyl-
vania, and Mr., Villas, of Wisconsin. were
both mentioned in connection with the
Craftsmanship, but both positively IL ;lined.
The committee and Mr.. Cleveand were
left no choice but to take Barl,u \. with all
his sins, and it was with much reluctance
that the distinguished dealer i'll mules
gave his consent.
So the Democratic party open their
campaign of Reform with one ri he most
itics in the United States as it, manager.

and especially open to the Republicans,
who have had eight years ey, efirlce in

Senator Riddleberger Speaks.

Hon. II. H. Riddleberger addressed
large concodrse of people at Luray, on the
18th inst, in behalf of Blaine aud Logan
and the Republican party. A special to
the Wing furnishes the following notice of
what the gifted young Virginian had to
say:
LURAY, July 2S.-According to previous
announcement, T.. s. Senator ii. II. Rid
dleberger addressed the largest audience
known in this town for many years. COM
posed chiefly of the farmers and laboring
men of the county. He spoke for two
hors with great power a G8d arafee ftt oHGA
frequent applause OF his large audience.
He discussed with marked ability the
tariff issues and showed to the satisfaction
of almost the entire audience that it was
the duty of every Virginian. regardless of
party names, to vote for Blaine. Logan,
and the Protective Tariff. He discussed
the Blair Educational bill and showed that
the Democratic party was opposed to free
education and that the Blair bill, which
passed the Republican Senate and would
have given to Virginia over seven hundred
Thousand dollars per year, WAS permitted
to sleep the sleep of death in a Democratic
House OF Representatives. lie also showed
that Blaine. if elected, would be as good a
friend, if not better to Virginia than Presi-
dent Arthur had been. His exposition of
the corruption, fraud and partizanry of the
Legislature during its recent session was
crushing and Overwhelming.
The speech was the most powerful and
effective ever delivered in the county, and
Page, the right wing of the Tenth Legion
of Andrew Jackson Democracy. will give
handsome majority for Blaine and Logan.
Campaign fa.sehoods are now engaging
the inventive ingenuity of the Democratic
party They are manufactured out of the
whole cloth. and passed of as geauine
truth We have had occasion to correct
several this early In the contest. And here
is another. A dispatch was published in
the New York Times to the effect that
the Germans of Scranton, Pa, and vicin-
ity. were all about to be dumped into the
Democratic party. An indignant German
telegraphed that there was not Il word of
truth in it. That the Republican Ger
mans are enthusiastic for Blaine aud Lo-
gan and a number of German Democrats
have declared theirpurpose to vote against
Cleveland and Free Trade, and for Blaine
and Protection.
The Democratic National Committee
will have plenty offunds for the campaign
it is said, furnished by the Free Trade
Leagues and Clubs Of England. British
money played an important part in the re-
peal of the protective tariff of 1912, and
will be freely given to aid the Democratic
party in breaking down the protective
policy in 1884 and inaugurating coun-
terpart to the Walker free trade tariff of

Mr.. Hills Misstatements.

Whenever Hon. W. d. Hill, in his
speech on Monday, attempted to give facts
he made gross mistatements. We have
time to-day to refer only to y few of them
He stated that the Blair educational
bill, giving millions of dollars to the
South, was sent to the House only felr
dff2fs bpfa,s,a- t:.aala,.s.,-.- -----
The bill finally passed the Senate on the
eth day of April and Congress adjourned
on the Stll day of July-tltree months after.
Hestated that the last Republican House
had reduced the duty on wool, but he did
not say, that in order to make general
reduction of the revenue amounting to
SAC, 000, 600. the wool tariff vas allowed to
go in, and that Immediately afterwards
the Ways and Means Committee author
lied one OF its members to offer as u COM
mittee amendment the duties OF 1867, but
that in consequence of that schedule not
being reached during that session, no OPP
portunity was allowed for it's introduction.
Nor did he state that when that amend
gress, it was defeated by vote of l26 nays
to 11S ayes, and that The affirmative vote
was made up of 81 Republicans and "a
Democrats, and that of those who voted
against the increase ia lcere Democrats
and II acre Republicans.
Another statement made by Mr.. Hill
was that book which cost $l.00 could be
printed for 40 cents, and that it was the
tariff that caused the high price to the
purchaser. This is simply untrue. Every
publisher in the land knows that no print
ing house realizes 80 per cent. profit on it's
work.
MI. Hill inveighed bitterly against the
internal revenue system, but he did not
tell his hearers that the Democratic Con-
gress, on the It'll day Of April, by vote of
179 to "a, adopted a resolution declaring 1t
64aeGpediel1t aud alaacise to abolish or reduce
| the Internal Recenue tdr.
These are but samples of the misstate
ments made by Mr.. Hill, but they are suf-
ficient to show how much reliance can be
placed upon the assertions of Democratic
speakers, even the fairest
