Five hundred mormon immigrants are
rived at Castle Garden, New York,
half Of whom were English and the 9th.
er half Scandinavians. They were &C.
rompanicd by seventeen mormon mis-
sionaries, and Immediately started for
Utah. This is only one days record of
mormon increase. How true it is that
anything that savors of persecution de-
feats itself. The blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church. Mormonism
was never so prosperous as in it's day of
persecution, and the same thing may
hc said of other denominations. Yet
people will still indulge in foolish tall
about crushing out" this or that set
whose beliefs are contrary to their own.

New York Certain for Cleveland.

Mr.. John Il. Hamilton, from this county,
now of the New York bar, writes to his
uncle, Capt. G. Benton Coiner, that Cleve-
land will carry New York by sweeping
majority. In his letter, as published in
the Vindicator, he says:
Everybody is for Cleveland, and he will
be elected. Blaine has not ghost of a
chance to carry New York. l should
not be surprised if Cleveland got as large
a majority as he did in 1882. His pop
ularity cannot be conceived. The Vir-
ginia Democrats may go to work with the
assurance that they won the State OF New
York at Chicago"
From his classification of the press Of
New York City, it appears that of the
morning papers, eight support Cleveland
and one supports Blaine; and of the even
ing papers, nine support Cleveland and two
support Blaine.
In reference to this classification, he
says:
"That gives fair idea of the popular
sentiment, and you will be astonished at
Cleveland's majority in November. Cleve-
land is two-fold more popular than any 9TH
er man in the State of New York. Blaine's
only hope now is to break the solid South.
See that he fails to do it,"

Congressional Convention.

The Democratic Convention to nominate
candidate to represent the 10th Congress
sional District, will meet in the Court
house in this place on next Thursday at
Ia o'clock. That the Hon. j. Ran. Tucker
will be nominated, there is now no doubt.
A large majority Of the delegates elected in
the various counties of the District are in
favor of that able and distinguished gen
tleman, who would represent it with honor
to himself, and credit to his constituents
As his nomination is now "foregone con-
clusion,' all opposition to it should be
withdrawn, and his nomination should be
by reclamation. This would ensure har-
mony and unity in the Convention, and
would strengthen the party in the canvass.
To offer opposition in the Convention,
which would be as unreasonable as futile,
and to array the friends of different candi-
dates against each other in heated dis
cussion, could be productive of no good,
and might, and almost certainly would,
result in injury to the party. As Tucker
will be the man chosen to bear our stan
dard in this District, nothing should be
said or done in the Convention which would
tend to weaken his strength, or sow the
seeds of dissension in the party, but all
should be done with an eye single to the
success of the party, and the triumphant
victory of its selected standard bearer, and
no party ever had a more able, or more
worthy, or more efficient standard bearer,
or one more deserving of the hearty, yea
lous, and united support of his party. Let
us have unanimous nomination, and a
unanimous, Jealous, and energetic support
of the nominee.

Rockbridge Means Work.

On the outer page of the SPECTATOR
will be found the proceedings of the Walk
er's Creek district meeting at Brownsburg,
Rockbridge county. A large Club was
formed at the time, which is having daily
accessions. Our correspondent reports that
enthusiasm exists for Cleveland, Hendricks,
and Reform, and the party united to a
man on Tucker.
Formerly there were many Democrats in
that district lost to the strength of the party
because of the Readjuster delusion, but
lately they have taken their old place in
the ranks. They cannot be Republicans
and followers of Blaine. Taking their
place along side of old comrades, we may
reasonably anticipate good round majority
in Rocbridge for the National ticket and
for her own distinguished citizen, of whom
any people might be proud to claim as a
representative.

Gov. Hendricks Notified.

At the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga,
N. Y, on last Wednesday, Gov. Thomas
A. Hendricks was officially notified of his
nomination Sor Vice President by the DEM
ocratic National Convention at Chicago.
To the address of the Committee of notif-
cation, Mr.. Hendricks replied briefly, ad-
verting TO the great responsibility of the
presidential office in the contingency
not unlikely to occur-that its incumbent
is called upon as president of the Senate in
case of tie to give the casting vote. Re-
ferring to his exclusion from the Office to
which he was elected in 1876, Mr.. Hen
bricks declared that such exclusion was in
effect denial to the people of the right of
free government, and if their right to Sc
lect their own rulers may be thus abridged,
their other rights cannot long continue to
be of any practical value to them.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIMENTAL West
Creek IN. W telegram says: Mrs. Rebecca
Cox, an aged lady residing alone upon an
unfrequented by-road at this place, while
walking by brook in the salt meadows
one morning last week was stricken with
paralysis. For several hours the lady re-
manned unconscious, finally awakening to
find herself beyond the reach Of help, I'M
able to attract the attention of any one, and
yet within a few rods of her house. Suffer
ing the agonies of paralysis, she was in this
helpless condition three days, exposed by
turns to the broiling rays of the sun and the
atmosphere of the malarial meadows.
She was finally found, her absence from
the village exciting the fears of her friends,
party of whom came upon her almost
dead, suffering from a complication of all
ments arising from her exposure and pri-
vations. A physician was summoned, and
it is thought she may recover.

The Campaign.

The political contest has opened, and will
be animated to its close. The early indi-
cations are full of meaning. The outrage
of placing Hayes in the Presidency over
Tilden, who was elected, has left burning
stigma upon the national character, and
another and still greater expression of pop
ular sentiment than that which elected Til
den, will place Cleveland and Hendricks at
the head of the government. The people
are honest They do not tolerate fraud,
and though often slow to move, yet when
the spirit of resentment is aroused, it will
lash the guilty till it Is appeased. The Re-
publican party stands convicted before the
bar of public opinion, and now it has to &C
count for the great wrong inflicted on the
legal rights of the majority, and the deadly
blow aimed at the workings of our free in
situations.
We have heard of tidal waves in these
latter days. But there is coming more
than sea pillows of furious wrath against
the evil-doers, who have outraged the peo-
pies voice and plundered the public treasury.
A great ground swell will lift the horde in
power from the places of trust which they
have used for base ends, and cast them into
outer darkness. It will demand that RE-
FORM shall take hold of the reins of gov.
eminent, and that CLEVELAND and HEN
bricks, able, honest, and fearless, shall
guide the destinies of the American people.
Distinguished in Executive ability and be-
yond reproach, they stand to-day, before
the world, opponents of honest administra-
ton and absolute security against wrong
doing, by those entrusted with the affairs,
the money, and machinery of the govern
ment.
There are instances in the history of this
country when the mere suspicion of dishon-
esty and profigacy, was sufficient to turn
out an Administration which popular opin-
ion held to be guilty on these counts. How
is it now? Page after page, and whole vol
umes' of the public records, make an exhib-
it which, in the reality, overwhelms in
enormity, the lowest degrees to which it
had been supposed fraud and corruption
could have dragged down the government.
Reform is demanded. To defeat it, all the
appliances which have characterized the
the party in power will be brought into
play. But the stern will of the people can
overcome all this, and maintain the govern
ment on the plane on which it was designed
1t should move, by those who laid its foun- |
dations.

Extra-SessiOn of the Legislature.

In compliance with the request of two
thirds of the members of both Houses of
the General Assembly, Gov. Cameron has
called an. extra session to convene on the
18th of August This was rendered neces-
sary by the failure of the Legislature to
provide for the requisite number of electo-
raj districts, thereby endangering the loss
of one, and possibly of all the electoral
votes of Virginia.
If Gov. Cameron had believed that the
would carry the State, he
would not have waited to be required to
do SO by the signatures of two-thirds of
the members of each House, but would
have called it voluntarily, as he should
have done, to ensure Virginia's full vote in

party in the North by forming an alliance
with Malone in Virginia, and they have
now committed a similar blunder in form
ing an alliance with the Greenbackers IN
West Virginia. They have accepted as
their nominee for Governor-Maxwell-the
nominee of the Greenback party. This IS
in violation of their professed doctrine as
stated in their National platform. They

Reasons Why Honest Men Should Reject
Blaine and Vote for Cleveland.

The admirable addresssof the indepen-
dent republicans.of New York sets forth in
brilliant language the reasons why honest
men should reject Blaine and vote for Cleve-
land. Here is an endorsement of Gov.
Cleveland that will bear repeating: "While
the republican nomination presents can
didate whom we cannot support, the demo-
cratic party presents one whose Name is the
synonym of political courage and honesty
and of administrative reform. He has dis
charged every official trust with sole regard
to the public welfare and with just disre-
gard of mere partisan and personal advan-
tage which, with the applause and conf
dence Of both parties, have raised him from
the chief executive administration of a
great city to that Of a great State. His
unreserved, intelligent and sincere support
of reform in the civil service has firmly es-
tablished that reform in the State and the cit
les OF New York, and his personal convic-
tions, proved by his official acts, more de-
cisive than any possible platform declara-
tions, are the guarantee that in its spirit
and its letter reform would be enforced in
the national administration. His high
sense of duty, his absolute and unchalleng-
ed official integrity, his infexible courage
in resisting party pressure and public out
cry, his great experience in the details of
administration and his commanding execu-
tive ability and independence are precisely
the qualities which the political sitution
demands in the chief executive officer of the
government to resist corporate monobly on
the one hand and damagogue communism
on the other; and at home and abroad,
without menace or fear, to protect every
right of American citizens, and to respect
every right of friendly States by making
political morality and private honesty the
basis of constitutional administration.
