What a terrible predicament are
the Virginia Bourbons in about an
extra session Of the Legislature.
There are a great many who desire
an extra session, believing that
the wire-edge is sufficiently OF the
Bourbon Legislators to make them
repair the numerous flaws in the
legislation of last winter. They
also hope that at an extra session
something might be done to win
back the confidence of the many
voters who were disguised by the
wild and reckless partizanry OF
the Legislature last winter.
There are many Bourbons, how
ever, who are unwilling to trust
the Legislature with another SEES
sion. They see how much damage
has been done to their party by the
action Of the General Assembly
last winter, and are now unwilling
to run the risks that must accom-
pany another session Of the body,
There will hardly be an extra
session. Marion Patriot. Herald.

lists in this country, and cannot
endorse Cleveland, who is hostile
to the wOrkingman and the rights
OF labor. The hybrid nominees of
the Chicago Convention will never
poll the Democratic vote Of free
America. Republicans who as
sumo a virtue they have not say
Blaine is dishonest and corrupt. 1t
is only a repetition of the old story
of the pot reviling the kettle for its
blackness. Where can you find an
honest man? 1t is evident that
there is an immoral and contagious
leprosy in American political and
financial systems. Honor and
honesty were characteristic traits
of American Presidents until the
advent of Grant, who introduced a
new code of ethics. The elect ion
of Blaine will insure from foreign
powers all due Difference to our
country S flag of stars. Gifted and
endowed with brains, he posses
what is necessary in a ruler-"The
power of thought, the magic of the
mind" | am not deluded by the
vain hope that the mind of Mr..
Blaine is imbued with Irish pro-
clivities, but l feel confident
that he will not allow American
citizens to pine in foreign prisons
citizens untainted by crime, who
have fought for the conservation Of
the Union. Springing from the
people, identified with the people, l
voice their sentiments when say
that next November hundreds of
thousands of Irish-American votes
will be polled for Blaine and Logan

and the dignity Of our flag. Then,
as no principle is at stake, as one

The Tabor Revolt Against Mr.
Cleveland.
lB0ston Journal. |

Nothing is more evident at the
present time than that the labor
element, which has so largely
acted with the Democratic party in
several States, is in open revolt
against the nomination Ex-Governor
Cleveland. In this State the papers
which represent the labor senti-
ment are in open opposition to
the Democratic nomination. Indeed,
it Is now apparent that the impOr
tant labor element which followed
Gen. Butler in 1873 1879, 1882, and
1888 cannot be counted Oh for
Grover Cleveland. There may
come change as time passes, but
there is no installing the attitude
of that important element in
Massachusetts to day. We repeat,
with emphasis, it is hostile to
Cleveland. Where it will go we
cannot say, but we believe that a
considerable portion Of it will come
to the Republican ticket and the
rest will vote for General Butler
on the Greenback ticket. Time
was when factories and workshops
gave most of their votes to the
Republican party'S candidates.
AS the champion of the cause Of
free labor it ought to have the
votes of labor to-day. From what
we can learn a movement is on foot
to induce the intelligent labor of
Massachusetts to come to the Re
publican party. If a few score of
young men OF abundant leisure who
are Free Traders, and are therefore
leaving the Republican party,
which they cannot dictate, can be
exchanged for the same number of
overseers in shops and factories,
the party would in every way be
the gamer. From New York and
New Jersey come the same reports
respecting the hostility Of labOring
people to Governor Cleveland. In
New Jersey men who are familiar
with manufacturing labor give it
as their opinion that nine-tenths of
it will refuse to vote for Cleveland.

So we find it better for us to have
our own chickens and eggs, and
still better to have some to sell
and some lazy people TO sell to.
This is protection.
1t is the great American family
taking care of itself.
This is what Blaine means by
an "American policy" 1t is what
Clay, Webster, Calhoun and Jack
son meant. Fenced in by oceans
and seas built by the Great God of

The Outlook in Virginia.

We have just seen a gentleman
who has been in Valley and Eastern
Virginia. He is intelligent, inQuiSl-
tive and thoroughly reliable. The
object of our interview was, of
course, to learn something of the
political outlook. He says the
bOurbons talk confidently Of carry
ing the State, and will make a
desperate and INSCRIPTIONS effort
to do so, put behind all their boast
ing it is plainly evident that they
are badly scared. lie says the
only thing that can prevent the
vote of Virginia being counted for
Blaine and Logan is an extensive
use Of the shotgun policy, intiml-
dation and fraud.
In the sections visited he says
we will make some small gains
among whites and blacks over the
vote of last election, while the bOur-
bon vote will fall off. The damag-
ing record of the late legislature,
and protection to the iron and
manufacturing interests of the
State, are silently but surely
removing every vestige Of pre-
djudice against the name of repub-
licans yet lingering in the breast
of every fair minded man. Many
intelligent white men who are now
counted by the boubons as sure fol
them, will secretly vote for the
party of fairness and progress the
republican party.
The republicans everywhere, as
far as he could learn, are earnest
and determined, and are glad that
at last a square issue has come in
which they can show their manhood
- Progressive Age.

Elk. Congressman G. ID. Hubbard,
of Wheeling, w. Va, says; West
Virginia will elect her Governor,
Senate officers, Legislatureand Con-
gressmen this fall. There will be
a fight all along the line, Of course
because we are an October State.
| think we shall be able to carry
the State. Tilden would have
united the Democrats, and made
it well-nigh impossible for us to
pull through. Cleveland will be a
weak candidate. Indeed, with us
they have no strong candidate
after Tilden. The tariff question
divides them when any other can
didate is mentioned. The protection
element is predominantin three of
the four districts of the State,
which have for their centres Wheel
ing Parkersburg, and Martinsburg.

When the news was received on
Friday afternoon in Rochester that
Mr.. Cleveland had been chosen as
the Democratic party'S nominee for
, the Presidency, a triumphal salute
of fifty guns was fired. That night,
however, the wokingmen of the city
met together, discussed the matter
quietly, came to the conclusion
that"the nomination Of Grover
Cleveland was an insult to the
workingman, "and having reached
this conclusion, they put their
views in the shape of formal reSO-
luton, and by its passage dec
Jared that such was the sense of
the meeting. Thus it was in many
other places besides Rochester. Can
non were fired, bandsplayed, banners
waved. Campaign funds arc meant
to furnish forth both noise and dis
play. But while the smoke is
clearing away after the last gun
of the salute the real people Of the
party are thinking the matter over,
and in very large numbers they
are coming to the conclusion that
Grover Cleveland is not the proper
person to represent the working
men of the United States. To many
who are forced to this decision by
reasoning and reflection it comes
very hard that, for the first time in
many years, they must refuse to
vote the Democratic ticket. 1t comes
hard, but still they cannot do it..
That is all there is of it. They
cannot, will not, vote for Grover
Cleveland for PresidentOf the Uni
ted States. 1t is needless to give
here the reasons for this change of
mind among Democratic working
men. Certainly the change has
taken place. To what a very great
extent-how enormously large the
detection is-will not be fully APP
preciated until next November.
Campaign cannon are still thunder
ing so loudly that the voices of
distent many not be listened to
and measured for their full worth.
But one the day following the day
of election it will be found-as
surely as an election is held and
votes are polled-that the working
men of the United States refused,
for reasons good and sufficient to
themselves, to vote for Grover
Cleveland for Chief Magistrate,

The platform adopted at Chica.
60 last week is just what might
have been expected. 1t straddles
everything, and then impeaches
itself by saying that the tax de-
rived from internal revenue should
be used to pay pensions.
We say such tax is so outrage
Gus that it should not be collected.
Leave the money alone and let
pensions be paid out of tariff tax
derived from the fine goods i'm
ported for those the pensioners
fought to protector not at all.

If a republican shall proclaim
his purpose to vote the democratic
ticket he is instantly adulated as
an independent voter who can rise
above party. If democrat shall
say that he will vote the republi-
can ticket this fall, he is denounc-
ed as traitor.
Wherein the difference lies we
fail to see. For ourselves, we
shall support Blaine and Logan for
the very reason that we should
support Henry Clay, and his Amer
lean system, if he were living and
before the country as candidate
for the high Office he seemed fated
not to reach. Blaine is the Henry
Clay of this period without the
puritanical handicap which result
ed in revolving KnOwnothingism.
Blaine is JeffersOnian in his views
of liberty of conscience and is in
every sense democratic except that
he is a firm, unfinching and un-
compromising advocate of the
"American system" which Clay
always sustained, and which such
statesmen as Webster and Calhoun
had the courage to announce q
change of convictions on.
Blaine has the advantage OF
twenty-five years of experience
with the tariff. The war gave it a
good start and the country has
seen now benefcially it operates.
Clay could see it all, but prejudice
of party kept the reason Of too
many closed against his unanswer-
able arguments. The people see
how tariff tax supports government
out of custom duties gathered from
the fine silks, linens, diamonds,
cassimeres, cloths and fine blan-
kets imported from abroad, and
that the labor which produces all
that is good enough for humble
home folks is protected at the same
time against competition with
European pauperism. In a word,
the American dollar will not allow
the English shilling to be the meas
ure of prices here. Blaine has the
advantage of this general infOrma'
ton among the people.

of bringing very fair attendance TO the meet

in the negative. Both of these gentlemen
each brought forward many strong and forci-

showed the clear and decisive relation that
should exist between the teacher and pupil.
After these gentlemen had presented their re-
