The American Celt, a very in
telligent organ of Irish opinion
published in st. Louis, openly
declares against Cleveland and in
favor of Blaine. In the course of
a long and well-written article it
says:
we believe it is the duty of Irish
Americans to stand Loyalty by their
friends in the coming contest. No
body imagines for moment that
we could possibly support Grover
Cleveland. What The American
Celt contends is that it is the duty
of Irish Americans in the west and
south to act tremendously with
their friends in the eastern states.
To us personally the matter is pro-
baby of slight consequence; to the
workingmen of the republic it is of
utmost consequence that Grover
Cleveland should be defeated. We
are therefore anxious to see our
readers Jealous and united in their
support of Blaine and Logan. Gen,
Butler was our first choice but he
is practically out of the race. 1t
is therefore our intention to labor
with loyalty and devotion to secure
the election of Blaine and Logan.

Says an independent observer
81 do not think that Blaine S great
ness is fully appreciated even by
his admirers. When he went out
of the cabinet, after the death OF
Garfield, people said his official
career was ended. Ibelieve Blaine
thought so himself. What did he
do then? Most men, under the
circumstances, would have retired
to live on the memories of the past,
and nurse uneasy hopes for the
future. But Blaine went to work
patiently to carve out new carer,
In two years he had placed himself
at the front of American literature,
and had achieved a position where
the chances of politics we're no lon
ger attractive to him, where fac
tons could not injure nor calumny
reach him. From this position he
was literally dragged back into
the political arena, against his de-
sire and in response to the over
whelming demand of the people,
Blaine is made of good stuff He
is a good friend and a good enemy
He has the intrepidity Of Andrew
Jackson and the serene philosophy
of Emerson. No combination OF
circumstances can break this lofty
spirit down."

The Anti-Monopolists are ex-
pressing great disgust over the de-
feat of Butler and the nomination
of Cleveland. John f. Henry,
wholesale druggist ofCollege place,
who is president of the national
Anti-Monopoly league, said: "Ihe
laboring men and Anti-Monopo-
lists will under no circumstances
support Grover Cleveland. lie
accepted the Democratic nomina'
ton for governor two years ago on
one of the strongest anti-mOnOpo-
list platforms ever adopted by a
state convention; he promised the
Anti-MonOpOliSts that he would
stand on that platform, if elected
in good faith, and would stand by
the canals and in all ways carry
out the principles enunciated by
the convention; but he faiDd to
keep his word. He appointed a
railroad man as superintendent of
canals, and named two men who
are in sympathy with railroad cor
porations for the board of railroad
commissioners. He vetoed the
Elevated Railway fve-cent fare
bill, and the bill to reduce the
hours of labor of conductors and
drivers. In other ways he has vio-
lated his pledges. He has not
been true to the Democrats, to the
Anti'MonopOliSts or to the laborlng
men, and he violated longestab-
lished Democratic principles by
favoring the One-man power IN
New York and Brooklyn. If the
Democrats had nominated a man
in favor of anti-monopoly and re-
form, they would have carried New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey,
Michigan, Iowa, some Of the Pacific
states and all the southern states.
Now they can carry some of the
southern states only.

The Virginia Legislature

GOV. CAMERON CALLS AN EXTRA
SESSION TO MEET AUGUST Is.
Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
RICHMOND, Va, Suly 2S.-After
long consultation with leading
members Of his party and eminent
counsel Gov. Cameron this after
noon announced his determination
to yield to the demands of two
thirds Of the members of each
branch of the Legislature for an
extra session of that body. The
Governor was 10th to do this, but
there was no escape from the con-
stitutional duty imposed upon him.
He will issue his proclamation at
once calling the Legislature tOge-
Their in extra session on Wednes-
day, August Is.
The action of the Governor in
this matter is a great disappOint-
ment to the republicans. They
hoped that the executive, who is
fully in sympathy with them pO-
litically, would find some legal
lOOp-hole through which to avoid
yielding to the wishes Of the demo-
Gratis. These leaders appreciated
the Importance to them of prevent
ing the democratic Legislature
from coming back to the Capitol
before the presidential election.
1t is we'll understood that be
sides providing the necessary ma
chinery for the election of the
presidential electors, the democrats
will redistrict the State for Con
gressmen in the event the Court of
Appeals decides the plan adopted
by the last Legislature to be I'M
constitutional. That case is to be
heard before that court on the 3lst
of this month, and the validity OF
the act will no doubt be passed
upon by that tribunal before the
Legislature meets.
Gen. Wickham, a straightout
republican, and j. S. Powell, an
independent readjuster, will give
the democrats, it is believed, all
the aid that may be needed in the
Senate to pass a new apportiOnment
bill over Gov. CamerOn's opposition
To avoid the possibility of any
fight being made before the next
House, the democrats will be very
likely to adOpta new apportiOnment
regardless of the action Of the Court
of Appeals. The democratic leader:
are committed to Gen. Wickham
by whose aid they succeeded in get
ting the extra session, not tC
enact any partisan measures except
the two named, but there is
strong demand for a publication
of the present election machinery
Half Of this is in the control OF
Malone. An effort to correct this
condition of affairs was made 10y
the democrats at the last session
but the law having that object in
view was declared by the Court OF
Appeals to be void. 1t is not
improbable that an effort will be
made to pass another at this special
session in which there will be nc
legal defects, and which will place
the election machinery in the hands
of the democrats.
Gov. Cameron has received the
designations Of Messrs. Banks OF
Norfolk, McCandish of Petersburg
and Bland of Prince George, re-
publican members of the House Of
Delegates, who have accepted fed
eral offices since the adjournment
Of the Legislature. The Governor
will issue a writ directing special
elections to be held in the districts
named in time for the parties elected
to take their seats in the House at
the extra session.

The Brooklyn Bridge.

After about fourteen years hard
labor the great suspension bridge
between New York and Brooklyn
has been completed, and thus two
large cities connected in manner
which was never dreamed of in
Revolutionary times. 1t is indeed
the browning work of the century,
and can be classed among the
wonders Of this country. The
suspension bridges at Niagara
Falls and over the Ohio river at
Cincinnati, are merely foot bridges
in comparison with it. Its dimen-
siOns, history and cost are familiar
to all readers of the daily papers,
and do not need to be repeated
here; but we do wish to speak of
Peruna, the greatest discovery of
this century. 1t is a medicine
discovered by DR.. S. Hartman Of
Pittsburgh, and prescribed by him
in thousands of cases during thirty
years of continuous practice. Ask
your druggist for the pamphlet
entitled the Ills of Life which
gives full and complete directions
for the preservation Of the health.
Try Pernaa, the great tonic.

A Cafechism for Boilers.
New York Tribune.1
Q.-How is a man known?


Q.-How is a man known?
"A man is known by the com
pany he keeps.
Q.-What company does Grover
Cleveland keep?
Ale keeps the company OF
the Democratic party.
Q.-What the character of the
Democratic party?
Alt is CO.. piracy for plum
der and spoils.
Q.-What warrant have you fol
calling it that?
A.-One Of the most distinguish
ed and trusted Of our leaders, Geo
William Curtis, who has been per
fectly familiar with the career Of
Democracy for more than a quar-
ter of a century, so named it in a
public speech only a few weeks
ago.
Citizen in the present cam
paign Grover Cleveland is leading
conspirators for spoils and plum
der?
A.-Obviously there is no escap
ing that conclusion.
GLOW does it happen, then,
that you are supporting him?
A.-Because, we believe a man
can touch pitch day in and day out,
can steadily walk in pitch up to
his arm-pits, and not be defled.
Q.-Do you regard Grover Cleve-
land as an honorable man?
A.-Oh, yes; We regard him as a
thoroughly honorable man.
OWL an honorable man be-
tray a party whose leadership he
has voluntarily accepted?
A.-Certainly not.
Q.-Then if the conspiracy for
spoils and plumber should be sue
cessful Grover Cleveland would be
in honor bound, would be not, to
administer the government with an
eye single to spoils and plumber?
A.-Well, that is-or rather, in
short, anything to beat Blaine.

The Ball Still Moves On.
RIDDLEBERGER SPEAKS TWO HOURS
TO AN IMMENSE CROWD-BLAINE,
LOGAN, AND PROTECTION.
Especial to the Whig.l

LURAY, July %, 'S4.
According to previous annOun-
cement, United States Senator ii.
II. Riddleberger addressed the
largest audience known in this
town for many years, composed
chiefly of the farmers and laboring
men of the county. lie spoke for
two hours with great power and
effect, which was evidenced by the
strict attention and frequent APP
plause of his large audience. He
discussed with marked ability the
tariff issues and showed to the salts
faction ofalmOst the entire audience
that it was the duty of every Viz
ginian, regardless Of party names,
to vote for Blaine, Logan, and the
Protective Tariff. He discussed
the Blair Educational bill and
showed that the Democratic party
was opposed to free education and
that the Blair bill, which passed
the Republican Senate and would
have given to Virginia over seven
hundred thousand dollars per year,
was permitted to sleep the sleep oil
death in Democratic House of
Representatives. He also showed
that Blaine, if elected, would be as
good n friend, if not better to Vir.
ginia than President Arthur had
been. His exposition of the cor
ruption fraud and partizanry Of the
Legislature during its recent SEES
sion was crushing and Overwhelm
ing.
The speech was the most power
full and effective ever delivered in
the county, and Page, the right
wing of the Tenth Legion of An
drew Jackson Democracy, will give
a handsome majority for Blaine
and Logan.

What was "the great fraud of
1867" 1t was the fraud by which
the votes of southern states, giving
honest Republican majOrities, were
counted by the bull.dOzers instead
of the lawful authorities-a fraud
which has been repeated in every
election in the southern states since
that time. The Republican party
righted that fraud, so far as the
presidency was concerned, in 1876,
and the only mistake it has made
since was in not righting it when
ever and wherever it was repeat
ed.

1t is the opinion of Henry Cabot
Lodge, the effective Republican
leader in Massachusetts who tried

iects it. Mr.. Lodge has means OF

Rev. David n. Beatty, who died
in Norwich, Conn, on Wednesday,
at the ripe old age Of one hundred
years, was undoubtedly the oldest
clergymen in the country. He
began preaching when but fifteen
years old, and, besides being the
pioneer of Methodism in that part
OfConnecticut, he devoted seventy
five years of his life to its mainte-
nance. In his life time he preached
over 1000 sermons, married 514
couples, and buried 1900 persons.

Mr.. John Francis Marvin, of
Cambridge, Mass, writing from
New York to a friend, says: One
hundred thousand Irish-American
Democrats here and throughout
the State will vote for Blaine and
Logan regardless of whatever ac-
ton Tammany may take. The
feeling is spreading that the time
has come to cut loose from the
Democracy and act independently
in politics. But little stock is taken
in the Mulligan circular roorbach.
Cleveland's refusal to allow the
Equality of Worship bill to come
before him is strongly condemned.
A conference is to be called in a
