Admit fer the sake of the argument that Mr..
Carlisle did not agree with the tariff views In our
Plato: IN, according to the Interpretation OF the
VINDICATOR did that justify our respected contem-
'rary in keeping up its fire against Mr. Carlisle,
after he had been elected by a. Democratic Con
gress by a vote of two TO one against Mr.. Ran
dali ?-Norjolk Ledger.
Frankly. then. we kept up our FIRE be-
cause Mr.. Carlisle kept up has fire. AT the
moment Mr.. Carlisle's friends, who were
instantly put On the defensive by his
nomination. we're telegraphing explana-
tions from Washington. Mr.. Carlisle was
pursuing his way, selecting a Committee
of Ways and Means which would not carry
out The platform of the Virginia Demo-
cracy by any bill they were likely to re-
port A little later. the more prominent
members of the committee. Morrison, the
Chairman, and Hurd. announced that
they had no thought of providing for the
abolition of the Internal Revenue tax.
And later yet, the Washington organ of
the Carlisle movement was denouncing
the Ohio Democracy for electing P'yne,
U. S. Senator. Payne being On the Virgin
ia platform To permit all this without
remonstrance would be to concede that the
Virginia Democracy had had no fixed con-
victlons of National policy, and to soften
the Democratic mould of our State to de-
gree of Elasticity that would make it excel
lent material for the Republican campaign
orators of 1884 to work on. We want
we'll defined and soldiied public sentiment
in Virginia this year to resist their onset.
Our rostrums will not be filled by the Pat
McCaulls and Sims and Blairs of last fall,
but upon them, we have reason to believe,
will appear many of the ablest statesmen
of the Republican party. In the last few
years interests have been developed in
Virginia, and especially in this section Of
it, to which these men will appeal. We
DO not wish the Democracy to be on the
defensive but on the aggressive this
fall 1t greatly depends ON the bill to come
shortly from the WAYS and Means Com
mittee, to show whether Mr.. Carlisle's
friends keep up bis fire and whether our
campaign in Virginia is to be defensive
or aggressive.
In the meantime we shall take the plat
form of cur esteemed contemporary to be
our own:
1.-THE first duty of the Democrats according to
this declaration, is to an honest and econo-
micai administration of the government The m
te7n,d5 Reye1ue system is to be Topped Off twenty
five per cent of the Idle and worthless employees of
the departments are to be turned out; the Customs,
Postal, Pension, and all other departments are to
be placed on an honest business basis and then
such revenue is TO be collected from the tariff as
will meet the economical expenses Of the govern
ment'
If the Ways and Means Committee put
this platform in execHtiop there will be no
differences among the Virginia or any
o. her Democrats in the Union. The
1882, 900 900 of de felt thi ough the loss of
Revenue tax and made up by a judicious
distribution of protection, and by econo-
my, will fully satisfy the Democrats of
the whole country.

A Washington letter in the Richmond
State gives the following information
about Col. OFerra,l'5 Contest:
The printed evidence in the O'Ferrall
contest was submitted to the committee
this morning. 1t forms a highly interest
Ing document. Il includes sworn copy
Of the letter sent by Malone to the post
mistress OF small otfice demanding her
contribution to the campaign fund, a doc
ument which Malone has emphaticAlly
denied the existence of. The first deposit
ton for Judge O'Ferrali is sufficient to
give him the seat. 1t is by james I.
Wayland, the Readjuster collector of
delinquent taxes of Albemare county,
who was indicted for issuing blank tax
receipts. He deposed that he RENTED
by draft to one G. q. Clark, OF Richmond,
Shly @125, while there Were at least 800
delinquent tax Re ceipts voted on. He
should have received $40. The difference
betw cen the number of votes cast and
the tax receipts legally issued is 6o7 while
Judge Paul's majority is only POS. The
la t. TT claims that the clause in the State
CONSTITUTE ion prescribing the payment of
taxes as prerequisite for voting is unc0n-
otitutlOnal, and that the Malone collectors
we've de fact0 officers, whether properly
appointed or not.
Outside of the frauds parpetrated by
means of blank tax receipts, the deposit
',ons filed by Judge O'Feriall show about
80 voted who are claimed TO have been
disqualified for other reasons. He will
probably file his brief tomorrow, after
which, according to the rules of the com
mlttee, The contestee has fifteen days in
which to file his. 1t is understood that
III view of the circumstances this time
will be considerably shortened.
