On Monday night last Mr. Jacob Yost
the Republican candidate for Congress
in this district, addressed q goodszpd
audience on the questions involved in
this canvass. There were between three
and four hundred ON the lower floor
and the galleries we're filled with tolofed
people. 1t is not necessary to say more
than that the arguments and facts pre-
sented by the speaker made a very favor
able impression on his hearers--they were
methodically arranged and delivered in Il
clear, perspicuous manner, contrasting in
marked way with the distractions, de-
nunciations and heresies of Mr.. Tucker,
delivered in the same place Il week be-
fore.
After hearing the arraignment of Mr..
Tucker, on his record, by Mr.. Yost, we
are not surprised that Mr.. Tucker evades
a Joint discussion when he can-that he
breads an encounter that exposes his inf
d. 'ity to representative trusts, and por-
trays to the people the ruinous effect of
his votes and speeches if the sentiment
AMI policy they express were enacted into
lrr'S.
.sor were We surprised to learn that the
Democratic managers employed their
ST. .kers to go around and notify the
members of their clubs and those who
were supposed to be in political alliance
with them not to attend the speaking. The
Object of this needs no explanation. They
did not want the false statements and false
not ions which Lad been made and incul-
Gated by Democratic speakers in the club
rooms and the impression they may have
crented to be corrected. They were.
afraid of fair argument. for they knew
nei her Mr.. Tucker nor the Democratic
parry could stand before it with impunity.
1t was confession of cowardice and
guilt, and ought to be condemned by every
fair minded man in the city aud Common
wealth.
But Il still more serious and disgusting
phase of Democratic methods was devel-
oped. 1t exposed slavery to party or
ders IA petty party despotism that free
people ought never to tolerate or submit
to. -Aparty that cannot stand up.before az
gument and fact-a candidate who cannot
be sustained or defended on his record.
ought to go down under the verdict Of the
people, and this we believe will be the re-
suit when the polls are closed on the 4th
of November next.

Samuel A. Balsley and Silas his brother,
sons OF Elijah Balsley, our old and re-
spected fellowcitizen, are on visit to
their friends at Sherando, they having re-
sided in Illinois for number of years.
These young men have made success of
business.in their adopted State and report
that they like the West very much as a.
home. We are truly glad to know of
their success but are sorry to lose them to
Virginia. That they are popular at their
old home is fully attested by the hearty
greetings they have met with at the hands
of their old friends.
James Hall is now running cooper shop
in Sherando with Mr.. VIM. HI. Blackburn
in charge. Mr.. Blackburn is one of the
foremost men in his trade in Virginia,
and 4 wide awake business man. We
wish the enterprise an abundant success.
There was service held by the Rev.
Mr.. Scott, p. E.. of the M. E. Church, in
that church in Sherando ON Sunday last.
The sermon was one of the most impress
siye ever hedrd in that village. The sum
of fifty dollars was raised toward the liqlli-
dation of the debt on the church. Fifty
more will clear the debt on the church.
Philip Schmucker of Fishersyille. has
just laid in the largest stock of goods that
has ever been been brought to that town.
Mr.. S. began business here in an humble
way and, aided by his wife, who has been
an helpmeet in truth, has accumulated

season are marked down to the lowest fig
ure and there will be an unusual rush by
orr citizens to take advantage of. the low
prices.
John Harris of Fishersville, in jumping
out of wagon at Hensley's store Satur-
day, broke both bones of his lower left leg
and sprained his ankle. He suffered in

day forenoon Mr.. Thomas Denny discov
cred the body of Miss Reed. 1t wal
speedily cared for in proper manner.
About five o'clock Mr.. Coghill's body was
recovered in nearly the same place, and
eager hands bore his remains back to tile
city which he had so lately left. Diligent
search failed to discover the body of Mr.
Taylor, and preparations were made to
care for the remains that the hungry rive1
had spared us.
The entire city went into mourning. AL
the business houses were closed on Wed.
| nesday afternoon during the hour of the
funeral, and the Baptist church, where the
| services were conducted, was unable to
contain the people who crowded around to
pay what poor respect man can offer to
mans unspeaking clay.
Mr.. W. 2. COghill was born near King
George Court House. King George county,
Virginia. His father, Mr.. L. A. Coghill,
is still living. His mother died year be-
fore he came west. He had two brothers,
five sisters all living. He was educated at
Locust Grove Academy. Madison county,
Va. In the spring of 1882 Mr.. Coghill
reached Crested Butte, Colorado, and met
his future partner, Mr.. Harry Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Augusta county,
Va, in the Shenandoah Valley. His pa
rents are both living at an advanced age
He had several brothers and sisters. He
had been in the west for about nine years.
The two boys formed their partnership
in May, 1882, at Crested Butte. The ru
morS that came up there concerning the
new country to the west attracted them to
Grand Valley and on Oct. 29th, 1882 1.-THE
next day after the first issue of this paper
they began business in Grand junction.
On Dec. goth. 1882, they brought the first
omnibus into the valley. They shipped in
to Grand valley the first car load Of grain
and hay that ever came to the city. They
did good business and prospered. In
February last they sold their business to
Messrs. Hynes and Dowd and started in
and had about completed arrangements
whereby they would have enlarged their
herd. They were thoroughly reliable and
had an excellent reputation as business
men. In addition to commanding uni
versal respect, as men they had as many
friends and as few enemies, perhaps, as any
two men in Mesa county.
Miss Maud Reed was native of KonegS-
burg, Norway. She came to this country
to join her brother, Charles M. Reed, who
persisted in the snow last March. She has
brothers in America and sisters in Nor
way with her parents. Miss Reed was a
wonderful woman in many ways. She was
brave to rashness and her heart was a
stranger to fear. She was one of the very
few woman who have had nerve enough to
direct cattle enterprise. She
was at home in the mountains and could
ride anywhere that a man dared to go.

All the bodies were recovered. and bur-

Destructive FIRE.-Goochs Tunnel,
on the 9. & 0. r. R., few miles west Of
Millboro, has been the scene of a de-
structive fire for some days past, The
sparks from a passing engine last Friday
evening, ignited the arches and caused the
fire. The Staunton Fire Company was
called to the scene, but could render no
assistance. The heat from the burning
timbers caused a large mass of slate over
head to crack and fall, covering the bed
of the tunnel to the depth of six or seven
feet. The section hands are at work re-
moving the debris, but on account Of the
heat have not been able to make much
Roadway. Trains have been unable to
pass since Friday last. Passengers are
