Hon. Thos. L. Bayard, of Delaware, is
advertised to speak in Staunton Oh Mon

Co., have purchased the iron for that road
and they will soon commence to lay the
track The bed is graded from Harri
sonburg to Bridgewater and beyond, but
RS the work was done some time ago it will

thing tangible and of Importance, as we re.

There was public speaking in Harrison
burg on Monday last, but we learn from
a gentleman who was present. the crowd
was not as large as usual ON such occa.
sions. Hon. Waller r. Staples was extern
sively advertised to speak, but did not put
in an appearance. Col. 0 'Ferrall addressed
his friends from stand in the Court yard,
and Hon. II. H. Riddleberger, Capt. w.
5. Lurty and DR.. j. B. Webb, Republican
candidate for Congress. spoke to crowded
house inside. The information we have
is to the effect that DR.. Webb will carry
Rockingham by a good majority.
1t is really distressing that the Demo.
Gratis can see no comfort in the result of
the Name election for the Republicans
To have swept the State by 10000 major
ity-carrying every county, and electing
every member Of the State Senate to have
elected all of the Congressman by largely
increased majorities for Mr.. Blaine own
town to have increased the Republican ma.
jority from 400 to 100 and to have polled
1000 more Republican votes in the State
than were ever cast before, even when the
war fever was up, would seem to be some
ground for Republican rejoicing. But our
Democratic friends say nay. 1t ought to
have been more. Well, the Republicans
will be satisfied with 10000 more majority
than they expected, and our Democratic
friends will have to make the most or the
worst of it.
We made statement several weeks ago
upon the authority Of a gentleman of this
county, who had just returned from
Southwest Virginia. to the effect that Col.
Abe. Fulkerson would support the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress in the 9th dis
trict and that Judge Ward would
take no part for either party in
this contest. Both of these gentlemen,
we see in our exchanges, deny the ac-
curacy of the statement and claim
that they were misrepresented We had
no reason to doubt the correctness of the
fact as published at the time, but freely
give the gentlemen the benefit of the de-
NAL. We would not Intentionally place
any one in false position, nor make a
statement that assigns a prominent poll
tician to an utilization he does not hold.
Let the Irish go, Z was the aggressive
and insulting language of a member of the
National. Democratic Convention. ''We
love Cleveland for the enemies he has
made, y was the fiery sentence that Gen.
Bragg, of Wisconsin. uttered. The Irish
took the Convention at its word, and have
left. Now they are, button-holing and
soaping John Kelly and other leading ''en-
emies, trying TO get them to aid in ele-
waiting Cleveland. Tammany will or has
formally ratified the nomination, but that
does not assure the votes of the rank and
file. Kelly told them at Chicago that
Tammany never bolts-that is,as an organ
ization-but nominate Cleveland, and /
will not turn hand to elect him." Half
of the vote usually controlled by Tam
many, will vote for Blaine, whatever
