FLUvANNA, January %, 1884

LII Anna. ~ iNNh'
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
With the occasional exception OF Ma
honeIte who has grimly determined at all
hazards to align himself with the Republic
can party, the country people are not much
exercised about the hydra-headed question
OF tariff. Whilst there are differences OF
opinion on the tariff and other issues
among the Democrats OF my section, they
are oyershadowed by the paramount T.
portance Of first wrestling the country
from Republican control. We jewellers OF
the rural districts, unaccUstomed 10 the
consideration Of abstruse political pro-
blems, may not be able to take in the rd-
tiOn0Ie OF "tariff reform" in all OF its
ramticatioDs, but we do know what Re-
publicanism means in the South and what
Mahoneism means in Virginia. And |
can assure you, Nj. Editor, that the
thinking, discreet men OF the masses,
regardless OF past differences on local
and dead issue, recognize the desideratum
of the crisis 10 be unity OF purpose and
action for the speedy attainment OF per-
feet harmony and fraternity in our ranks.
Taught by the lesson OF recent split the
.'dcep damnation OF divided counsels in
the presence Of the foe, there is an appa-
rent disposition TO subordinate personal
opinions on other questions to the grand
achievement Of throttlIng Radicalism. If,
therefore. as the canvass advances extreme
positions should be taken IT may be safely
placed to the credit OF those clod-headed
individuals who would shipwreck every
thing on the rock OF their selfish ambition.
Such characters are believed to be scarce in
this portion of Virginia, aud so when the
moment OF onset comes, we will, as band
OF brothers, join in the shout OF Tom Camp
bell OF Old
=" our bosoms wr'll bare for the glorious strife,
Aud our oath l. recorded on high.
To prevail IN q cause that IS dearcr than life,

Lexington Gaxetol
As soon as we saw mention OF the scheme
Of the Merchants, and Manufacturers As
sociation to buy into the Richmond and
Danville syndicate. In hopes OF getting the
advantage OF an already existing line to
the South, we predicted that 1t would raise
row, and so 1t Is.
The Richmond papers have made vigor-
Gus attack upon the scheme designed to
drive off trade from their city to Balti-
more, and il Il vain for the Baltimore Sun
to say that the real contest IS with Phila-
delphia, New York. and Boston when the
Richmond people see solid trains snatched
off Just at her doors and carried to Balti-
more over the Virginia Midland road.
Richmond has been looked upon by Bati-
more az an inland Virginia town OF not
much pretensions. and mott he considered
in great railroad schemes. But big Rich
mond thinks better OF herself. She IS the
capital of the State Of Virginia. and this
entities her to consideration. The great
commercial Baltimore will lind out sooner
or later that these Richmond people have
the ear Of the Legislature, and can do a
great deal of harm in obstructing Ba'ti-
more's ambition to obtain southern con-
nection without paying for it: II Balii-
more is so very great, ard really desires n
truly southern road run in her Interest,
the Valley Is Open, and no Richmond on
the line. 1t is better to pay something and
own il than TO be borrowing with constant
trouble ahead.
