West Virginia does not vote for Con-
gressmen in October, only for State Of
ficers. Congressme n will be elected in
November.
Mr.. Richards, editor of the Martinsburg
Telegram, was fatally shot by Mr.. Osborne,
of that place, on Saturday last. Cause,
an abusive personal article in Richards
paper.
Farmers of Belmont county, Ohio, fed
their cattle on sorghum leaves, which
proved fatal to them in a few hours. 1t
is well to note this, for in the scarcity of
roughness, some of our own farmers might
do the same.
The Democrats Of Ohio had planned a
number of gigantic frauds to be perpe
trated on the 14th. but the Republicans
have checkmated them thus far. The
Democrats are desperate and will resort to
anything to prevent a disastrous defeat in
the October elections.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Iiader-Appeal gives a gloomy
state of affairs among the Democrats of
the 1st district. 1t predicts the election
of Col. Mayo, the Republican candidate
for Congress, if Col. Barbour cannot
straighten out the Democratic crooked
ness.
Mr.. Charles Caldwell, one of the leading
lawyers of West Virginia. and lifelong
Democrat, has declared for Blaine and
Logan, and will stump the State for the
Republican ticket. He spoke at Parkers-
burg on Saturday last, at the reception of
Mr.. Blaine. The announcement has caused
CONSERVATION in Democratic ranks.

that what he was after was the 5000, but

We suppose Mr.. Tucker proposes to ap-
propriate it to himself during his natural
life and then transmit it to his heirs and
assigns perpetually. That is what sew
eral of our young Democratic aspirants
are thinking about it. There seems to be
too much Tucker in it for them.
Mr. Tucker stated in his speech at
Waynesboro, according tie report in the
Spectator, that the Valley Vryusian was
run by his opponent. In this Mr..
Tucker is mistaken. His opponent
knows no more what the VIRGINIAN con-
tains until after it is printed for the pub
Tic than he does. His opponent" is at
tending to Mr.. Tucker and his record-a
very prolific theme which will be carefully
reviewed, revised and annotated from now
until the 4th of November.
Before another issue of the VIRGINIAN
goes to its ten thousand readers, the great
battles in Ohio and West Virginia will
have been fought and won. We have the
utmost confidence in the result. We be-
lieye Ohio viii give such majority as
will assure the election of Blaine and
Logan by large majority in the electoral
college, and that West Virginia will come
SO near electing the Republican candidates
flor State officers, as to encourage the hope
that its electoral vote in November will
be given to Blaine and Logan.
One of the most cheering sights to be
witnessed along the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, is the thirty foot flag floating
from the top of the stack of Low Moor
Furnace, with the names Of Blaine, Lo-
gan and Yost inscribed on it. 1t is en-
blematlc of the trust of that great indus
try. 1t speaks to the world that the iron
industries of Virginia cannot trust IN the
Free Trade policy Of the Democratic par
ty and that the only security is in Protec-
tion and the Republican party. which pro-
claims it one of it's cardinal principles
Long may the flag wave as an argument.
more expressive than words, to every one
who may gaze upon it. A similar flag
should float from every furnace stack in
the State.
We have verbatim report of Mr.. Tuck
er's speech delivered at Churchville week
before last. 1t is the same, pretty much |
that he spoke at Mt. Sidney and Waynes-
boro, judging from the references we have
seen to his utterances at those places. 1t /
IS his set speech, and is given out when he
IS not in joint discussion. Having read
he speech-and may refer to it more
It length hereafter-we are satisfied that
f heard by every man in the county it
would do Mr.. Tucker more harm than
rood. There is nothing practical in it, 1
md clearly shows that he does not appre-
late or comprehend the conditions which
irround us, or the legislation necessary
0 accommodate them. He adheres to ex-
loded theories, to abstract interpreta-
ions, and disdains to come down to the {
tactical things which work for the good
