CLOSE VOTE In OHIO EXPECTED.

AN EXAMPLE WORTHY TO BE FOLLOWED.
TO show what efforts are being made by
by the Republicans to retain Ohio as Re-
publican State, and to show how badly they
are scared at this time, we will state that a
Republican, who lives in Dayton, Ohio,
went from this place to Harrisonburg last
Saturday morning, and learning that, as
Sunday interviewed, he could not, by several
hours, get to Dayton, Ohio, in time to vote
in the election on Tuesday yesterday he
returned to this place on Saturday evening
to go by another route, that he might reach
there in time to cast his vote.
Learning from him the reason of his re-
turn, we said to him that he must think
that Republican votes are very much reed
ed in Ohio at this time, when he replied,
that they were, and that the vote would be
very close. We asked him, if he did hot
think that the tour of Blaine through that
State had aided the Republican party, and
he replied that it had. Then we told him
that if Blaine had not made that tour, the
Gratis. He did not seem willing to acknowl-
edge it, but it was evident from his manner
and answer that he thought such would
have been the case. The only hope of sue
cess for his party seemed to be based upon
the lavish use Of money. The Impoverished
and unpurchasable votes would be given to
the Democratic ticket.
We mention the above circumstance, not
only show the character of the struggle in
Ohio, but to commend to Democrats the
example of this Republican, and to exhort
them to emulate it. When Democrats see
that Republicans will travel five hundred
miles or more to cast their votes, they GER
tainly should not fail on any account to go
to the polls and cast their votes for the
Democratic ticket. We appeal to Demo-
Gratis, by every consideration Of patriotism,
to be sure to vote, however inconvenient,
and to see that all their neighbors do like
wise. The victory can only be won by votes.
1t cannot be won by staying at home on the
day of election, and expecting others to
fight the battle, and win the victory. There
should be no laggards-no deserters from
the ranks on the day of battle. The Re-
publicans will be sure to have all their voters
at the polls on the day of election, and to
that end they are now, and have been for
months, working night and day with indus
try and energy, and it would be a burning
shame if the Democrats should not do all
within their power to swell their ranks and
to see that all shall be present to answer at
the roll-call on the day of battle-the 4th of
November.

SEE THAT ALL DEMOCRATS ARR
Woodstock VirginiaD and Blaine.

The Woodstock Vuginian, Of which Rid
dleberger was the reputed Editor, was con-
sistent for a long time in its denunciation
Of Blaine. The article heretofore publish
ed was dated the goth Of September, 1882,
and the following was published in the same
paper on the 2Sth of April, 1882, just five
months earlier. The public can judge from
these articles what was the opinion that
paper entertained of Blaine. It was the
same as that expressed by the Richmond
Wing when it denominated him as the
"sneaking, pettifogging bloody shirter of
Maine" The following was published as
editorial in the Woodstock Virgiaian in its
issue of April 28th, 1882
''In the history Of Americanpo politics there
| is nothing so shameless as the intrigue in
progress between Jim Blaine and Bourbon
politicians from the South, to make that
foul mouthed calumniator of the Southern
people-Presidentb by Southern votes. Well
it is none of our funeral. If Blaine can
| stand such company and they can stand
him, we shall not complain. We trust the
intrigue will succeed far enough to entrap
all the conspirators, and far enough to put
Blaine as a candidate before the people
We have a rich collection of Blaine's cold
blooded SANDER Of the Southern people.
The Greeley .tasco of 1872 wasn't circum-
stance to the deluge of ridicule and disaster
that would overtake Blaine as Presden-
tial candidate of Bourbon Democracy"
If that paper did not express the views of
Riddleberger, why is it that there was no
denial of it till he became supporter of
Blaine for the Presidency? We know that
it was generally understood that the Wood
stock Virginian at that time represented
Riddleberger's views, and was recognized
as his organ.

New York Demonstrations.
THEIR MAGNITUDE UNEoUALED.

The demonstrations in New York city
Thursday afternoon and evening in favor
Of Cleveland and Hendricks are conceded
by all the morning papers, with the excep-
ton of the Tribune, to have exceeded in
size all similar meetings held In that city
since the war. At the afternoon meeting
in Wall street, held under the auspices of
committees from the various exchanges, it
is estimated there were at least 20, 900 per-
sons present, including leading merchants,
bankers, and capitalists. The Produce
and Maritime Exchange Clubs marched
to the meeting 700 strong, decorated not
only with red badges, but with feathers in
their hats. The Stock Exchange, which
had at the last moment decided to parade,
made fine showing with 200 members,
all of whom wore neat red badges. They
carried blue banner. The Cotton Ex-
change, numbering about 100, and the
Coffee Exchange. numbering $50, both
carrying banners, were cheered to the echo,
as were also the Wall Street Clerks Cleve-
land and Hendricks Club, with nearly $50
members. The Mining and Petroleum Ex-
change Club was the last to arrive, but as

playing and it's flag flu tering in the breeze,
the voice of Hon. Roswell P. Flower, who
presided and made the opening speech,
was drowned in the cheers and shouts
which greeted them.
The other speakers were Hon. VIM.
Dorsheimer and Ex-Governor Solomon, for
mer Republicans, and Hon. Algernon s.
Sullivan, Mr.. Ell. A. Brady, of the Stock
Exchange, and ex- Mayor w. H. Grace.
During his speech the latter said: 81 know
that Gov. Cleveland is liberal in the broad
est sense of the word; liberal to all men,
no matter what their race or origin may
be, and no matter what their religious or
political convictiens.'
In the evening the heart of the CITY
around Union Square throbbed with enthu-
siasm. Thousands and tens of thousands
of men from all quarters of the metropo-
lis, marched into the great plaza, with
bands playing, banners waving and torches
burning. The great Academy of Music
was filled, and would be filled ten times
over were it's walls adequate to contain the
crowds who sought admission. Irving
Hall was crowded. Enthusiastic speeches
were delivered from nearly dozen stands,
no building or score of buildings being
large enough to contain the masses who
assembled to show their devotion to the
cause of Democracy and to Gov. Cleveland
as it's standard bearer in the present cam
paign. The number of uniformed persons
on parade by actual count aggregated
$4,000. The marching and countermarch-
ing of these men, many of whom are war
veterans, and differed by those who have
seen service as well in defence of their
country's rights, made splendid effect.
Most of the men wore helmets, which re-
fected the light from the thousands of
torches carried by them, making dazzling
effect.

The Fog Cholera.

The ravages of this terrible scourge to
swine, has been fatally felt, in many sec
lions of Virginia. Some farmers who had
full herds, have lost all.
The calamity will cause much inconven-
fence and increased expense in households
not prepared to meet such drawbacks. Oul
pork and bacon, enter largely into the
necessary capital for conducting farm work,
and paying labor wages. The Western
bacon cannot supply the place of Virginia

Il good sized pen of hogs, at annual slaugh-
tering time, produces y vacuum IN house
keeping, which has to be experienced to
realize the trouble and yexation occasioned

Mr.. TuDEN's LETTER.-Mr. Tilden has
sent reply to the address of the Democrat
some weeks ago by a committee of the
convention. In returning his thanks for
the honor done him, Mr.. Tilden takes oc-
casion to emphasize the importance of re-
form in the national administration. He
argues that this reform cannot be accom-
plished without a change in the admins
tration, and that the Democratic party is
better fitted for this work than the Repub
lican party, both by the force of political
education and the character of the elements
composing it.

On Tuesday afternoon very violent anG
destructive cyclone traversed parts of Mad
son and Orange counties, overturnine
buildings and blowing away fencing anC
trees. AT Mr.. j. P. Walters three chin
neys of the dwelling house and about two
miles of fencing were blown down. Mr.
Clalke's barn, near by, was demolished
and the new barn Of ex Gov. Kemper was
struck by lightning and totally destroyed
before the rain came up. A lot of new
farming implements, hay, &C.. were burn
ed, making a loss of over $4,000. Below
Unionville the barns of r 2. Graves and
F. NJ. Goodwin, situated more than a mile
apart, were blown down. This storm was
the most violent ever known IN that sec
ton. Its path was only a few hundred
yards in width and may be traced plainly
through the woods.-CharlohesUiHe Jefer-

Danville Times The election of negro
to preside over National Convention of
whites is a fearful sign of the times. We
are depending upon the Democratic party
to keep off miscegenation, social equality,
and negro officers, and every man with a

with all his might.

A DEER MAKES FATAL LEAP, We were
told some years ago at Callaghan's old stand
that deer had jumped over the precipiee
at that place and was killed. We learn
from the Allegheny Sentinel that another
deer met similar fate there on Tuesday
morning of last week. The Sentinel says:
"Ihe animal was fine nine spike deer
and weighed 100 pounds. His neck was
broken and under jaw badly crushed
The fall was about 60 feet.

Our people in Virginia are largely agri-
cultural, and therefore interested in cheap
goods-interested to sell in the highest and
buy in the cheapest market-1nterested in
getting rid of a system of taxation which
makes the consumer pay. Yet they look to
the interest of all the people, are willing to
bear their share of the burdens, aye more
than their share. They desire to build up
all the interests of the country, to help all
but they are unwilling to foster and create
monopolies under the false pretense of pro-
lection.

WHAT IT sHows.-As the Norfolk Land
marx; says, the details of Cleveland's recep-
ton by the people of his own home in the
city of Buffalo 'show that thousands and
thousands and thousands of men, women
and children turned out to do him honor;
and the chief value of this, in our eyes, is
that this has been the ansacer gioen by his
own peop1e-his friends, neighbors and
toacnsasen-to the vile ISLANDERS circulated by
his enemies. The reputation which man
has at his home is the reputation which the
world stands ready to measure him by; and
Buffalo has proclaimed to the world its be-
lief in his integrity"

when Mr.. Blaine was talked of for the can
