Mr.. Blaine's Marriage.

We publish the letter of Hon. James G..
Blaine, addressed to Hon. Walter Phelps,
giving the history of his marriage We
also give the answer he has filed to the
heterogeneous of the defendant in the
libel suit instituted against the Indianap-
oils Sentinel. In the language of the New
York Times, politically opposed to Mr..
Blaine, and doing all that in it lies to de-
feat his election to the Presidency. we
say 1.-The statement which Mr.. Blaine
makes in his letter to William Walter
Phelps should close all lips upon subject
which has been introduced and discussed
in this campaign only where manliness
was forgotten Nothing could be more
manly and frank than both the letter and
the answer. They appeal not only to the
just judgment of the country, as a truth
full recital of everything connected with
the malignant charges preferred against
him, but they touch the tenderest senslbil-
tiles of every father and husband, who
cherishes the sanctity and purity of the
home hearth and is proud of the exaltation
of virtuous women. They shame into
disgraceful silence his accusers, and open
up to the world character as brave and
chivalrous as it is refined and noble-as
impulsive and sympathetic in its honesty
as it is intrepid and prompt in its resent
mentS.

now want something practical, and it Is
just this that Mr.. Tucker cannot give
them. He knows nothing about the peo-
pie, and to judge by his votes in Congress,
cares less about them. He is now to be
measured by what he has done-to be
judged by the fruits he has produced. 1t
is this crucible he has to go through, and
to stand or fall as he may square up to
what the peoples interests demand. His
anecdotes, his grimaces, his ''oratory,' as
a few threadbare phrases are called, his
States Rights, his appeals to prejudices of
race and section, will not answer the pur-
poses of a business people, intent on prac-
tical things, or district ladened with UNI
told riches, awaiting practical legislation
to convert them into active values. Re-

Orange C. H.

On Monday last there was speaking from
Republicans and Democrats. A PROPOSE
tion for a joint discussionswas declined by
the Democrats, and this necessitated ar
rangements for separate speaking. The
Democrats, it seemed, had engaged the
Court House and the Court House yard,
and were not willing to allow the Repub-
licans either. Judge Thos. Smith, of Eau
quier, opened in front of the Court House.
for the Democrats, and w. E. Craig, Esq,
of Staunton, from the corner of the yard.
AS Craig S lungs were better than Smith s,
and having the advantage of the wind,
the crowd was attracted to his stand.
Judge Smith, after trying it for fifteen
concluded to retire into the Court
room, taking with him most of his polit-
zeal sympathizers. Craig continued his
speech where he had first mounted store
box. and held his crowd, which was the
larger of the two. until he finished what
he had to say. Col. O'Ferrall. also. spoke
in the Court House. The Republicans
were very well satisfied with the result of
the days work, and an excellent feeling
was aroused.

acracking the Whips. :,

une of our courthouse ring statesmen
was heard to acknowledge the other day
that there was some dissatisfaction with
Cleveland- and Tucker, but that would
soon pass away when the whips began to
crack" That is, that when men who may
heretofore have acted with the Demo-
cratic party, determine in their own minds
that it would he best for the country and
district that Cleveland and Tucker should
be defeated, they are to be driven from
such conclusion and conviction by the
crack of the party whip. That is the way
freemen are to be approached and treated
by an insolent political oligarchy, that
presumes to dictate to and order free men
to vote against their judgment and wishes.
and only as the bosses may order We
question whether there is man in Staun-
ton who can be driven from sense of
duty by such agencies, and slavishly sub
nit to the orders of a presamptive few,
who have no more right or interest in the
government than those whom they would
make slaves.
"Crack the whips" is anice expression
in a free country and among freemen
We will not believe until we see it that it
can be done with impunity, or that it will
not be met with an indignant resentment |

Cleveland Square Free-Trader.

We desire to elect Cleveland. Our no.
ton is that the best way to elect him is
not by lying and lodging. Nor do we
want a change of parties without change
of policies. Three-fourths of the Demo-
Gratis in the last Congress supported the
Morrison bill, which proposed to reduce
war taxes With those Democrats and
their purpose Governor Cleveland was in
thorough sympathy. AT Chicago the Ma
tional Democratic Convention adopted u
tariff plank, which, after refuting the false
charges Of the Republican press, and speci-
flying the true principle of revision and re-
form which the Democrats, II intrusted
with power, would apply to the tariff, laid
down the broad and clear declaration that
Federal taxation shall he exclusively for
public purposes, and shall not exceed the
needs Of the government economically ad-
ministerial, Mr.. Morrison was chairman
of the platform committee. and reported
his platform. 1t was accepted and ap-
proved by Governor Cleveland. 1t is an
honest platform. 1t is u sound platform.
And upon 1t the Democratic party stands
in solid phalanx. We do not want the mis-
take of 1880 to be repeated. We do not
want to receive any fire of the enemy with
out returning it. We do not want any vo-
ter to go to the polls ignorant of the real
issues involved. Hence, we have dis
cussed and shall continue to discuss. us
occasion seems to require, this important
public question, explaining the true posi-
ton of the Democratic party, and con
corning the false assumptions set up by
the Republicans.

Mr.. Tucker not Afraid.

At AmherstC. H., ON the 10Th, when Mr..
Tucker declined joint discussion with
his Republican opponent for Congress, he
is reported by the Democrat. published in
that town, as saying: LAS regards the
report circulated that he was afraid to
meet the Republican candidate, he had
simply to say that he had met in the halls
of Congress the champion of Republic
canism and it was not likely.that he would
be inspired with awe by his present oppo-
nent.'
Of course not. 1t is not his opponent
that he is afraid to meet, but Mr.. Tucker
and Mr.. fuckers record. There is where
the fear comes in. Mr.. Tucker has sew
eral times exploited his theories of gov
eminent and his exalted conceptions of
himself in the House of Representatives,
but at no time has Mr.. Tucker been
brought face to face with himself, as a
public man, and his votes as representa-
tive from Virginia in Congress. 1t is
these that he cannot explain to the salts
faction of the people of the 10th district.
some Of the counties of which were part
of the old 9th district. 1t was due to the
people of Buckingham and Amherst, at
least, whom he had been sent to Washing
ton to represent for ten years, that he
should have given an account of his
stewardship, and discussed the meas
ures upon which he was recorded as voting
either for or against, and justify the man.
ner in which he had discharged his repre-
sentative duties. To refuse to do this was
to treat his constituents with contempt,
and assume superiority over those who
had delegated him as their agent, which
was insulting to their intelligence and their
manhood. Mr.. Tucker is not so grand in
the estimation of the people that he can
escape the responsibility of obnoxious
votes by simple waive Of the hand, or a
reference to some impracticable theories
he may have advanced on the floor of Con-
gress. The people want to know what he has
done for thena-how he has voted on ques-
lions affecting the material welfare Of this
State and district and care very little
about his polemical encounters about the
cries and distractions which have no prac-
tical bearing upon the interests and pros
perity of his own constituents. 1t is in
this that Mr.. Tucker has defaulted. He
has been contented to represent his own
peculiar views Of government theories in
set speeches and rounded periods, to catch
fI,a al nf ho l., ;o
zan colleagues, while he has ignored in his
votes on vital measures the people who had
clothed him with power to appear on the
floor of Congress. He has been repre-.
sentative man in no popular sense, and it
is for this reason that he shrinks from
joint discussion, and not because he is
afraid of his opponent, except as that OPP
ponent may be familiar with his record.
and ready to expose and criticise it.

ToTuE CITY COUNCIL AND THE WATER
CoMMITTEE.-All that part of the city
South of Frederick street and West of
Lewis street, has for days been cut off
from the supply of reservoir water. But
termil Spring water is furnished as a
substitute. 1t is a great outrage. There
is no supply Of water in case of fire. no
water to keep water closets clean and a
supply very short for even ordinary pur-
poses. All citizens living in the cut off
district pay full tax at same rate as other
citizens. Why are they not entitled to
the same supply? Why is the property
of three of our female schools endangered
and the lives of the pupils placed in jeop-
ardy for want of water in case of fire
We ask youto correct this great evil. 1t
is an outrage upon the citizens OF the
West end of the town. They ask for JUS
tice. WEST END,

More "Crushing.'

According to the telegraph reports in the
Democratic papers Mr.. Tucker again
engaged in the business of crushing his
Republican opponent at Bath G. H., on
Saturday last. The facts show that the
crushing, however, was on the other side.
Mr.. Tucker passed up the G. and O. r. r..
with his Congressional competitor. on
Friday last. He knew that Mr.. Yost had
an appointment to speak at Goshen, and
that he would be awarded liberal terms in a
joint discussion. Instead. however, of stop
ping to talk to the people, he passed OH to
Millboro. while Mr.. Yost addressed large
and intelligent audience at Goshen. Both
had appointments at Bath G. II. for Sat
urday and both were on hand. Our cores
pondents give butan imperfect account of
the speeches. the result and effect. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that Mr.. Tucker was
badly worsted that he could not satisfac-
torily meet the points and arguments OF
his opponent and that the crowd was
with the Republican canddate-that Yost
made votes and Tucker lost them, and
that his own friends were discouraged by
the encounter.
This was the second time these gentle
Lexington, on Mr.. Tncker's own terms,
by which his competitor had to lead off.
and on this occasion the conditions of the
first discussion had to be repeated. in or
dn, m rof Mr. Tuobor ond his raoord fooo
to face. AS fair man. with nothing to
fear, Mr.. Tucker ought to have disdained
to have accepted such conditions. But he
did, and even with such an advantage he
had to retire from the engagement crest
fallen and beaten, as every impartial
nearer must acknowledge, if the reports
from reliable persons present are correct
his plumage plucked of several OF its
gaudy feathers, and his reputation as the
''crusher' of political opponents badly
damaged.
This canvass. if we are not mistaken,
will show that Mr.. Tucker does not de-
serve and cannot maintain the reputation
as an ''orator and statesman with which
he has been generally credited-that it was
a great mistake in his partizan advocates
to exalt him into demi-god, and assure a
triumphal march over this district, with
his opponent cringing and begging for
his mercy and magnanimity, yet all the
time pressing on in imperious grandeur
crushing and overwhelming with relent-
less severity the presumptuous young man
whom his party had commissioned to
represent it and bear it's colors in this
this contest. In the first engagement
he came out second best. On four sue
cessive occasions thereafter he declined
to show his prowess, and in the last ar
rangement he had to have his own terms
and then lose the battle ingloriously.
Let the Republicans of the 10th district
second the efforts of their candidate-sus-
tain him earnestly and firmly in all proper
ways. and we here record the prediction
that they will have nothing to regret when
the sun shall set on the 4th of November
next

Yost at Amherst Courthouse.
For The Wing.
CAMPBELL COUNTY. VA.

CAMPBELL COUNTY. V A.,
September 16, 1884. :
| Your correspondent left home yesterday
morning early for Amherst Courthouse
and arrived there about 8 A. M, and soon
| learned that the gallant standard bearer.
Hon. Jacob Yost, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in the Tenth district,
was upon the ground ready to meet his
foe, Hon. j.. Ran. Tucker, the Bourbon
candidate. notwithstanding he was sui
fering with q severe cold. | soon gath
cred up some of our friends and hunted
him up, and we had to introduce our
selves. as we had never seen him before.
He soon became ''braced up" and almost,
for the time, forgot that he had cold.
We found him pleasant and affable gen.
tleman, intelligent and sharp as briar.
We were all soon merged into politics,
talking over the situation.
Mr. S. &. Allen. the county chairman,
soon returned from consultation with the
made proposition for q joint discussion.
which was denied, givinf as the reason
that Boss Barbour had given orders for no
more joint discussions. The court re.
fused to give up the courthouse, and both
parties had to take the open air. About
1890 o'clock both crowds gathered on
each side of the court-green, all of the
colored people at Yost S stand and a large
number of the whites. Our gallant
standard bearer soon began to pour in
grape and shell, and the great yells that
were given soon brought about one-third
of their crowd over to ours, and during
the whole of his speech our crowd was at
least third larger than Tucker's. For
two long hours he poured the shot and
shell at the Bourbons and kept them con-
tinually in a see-saw, for our party was
cheering him from the word go, and the
Bour0ons were running backward and for
ward to hear what he was saying.
Ran. made the same old blanket speech,
as | was told. | did not hear him was
with Yost and Ran. was applauded but
twice during his speech, and that was over
two old stale anesdotes that almost every
body had heard oftentimes before. L saw
that | am satisfied that Yost made votes
while Tucker made none. YoSt is now
canvassing Amherst with a vim. He
speaks tonight in Madison and tomorrow
at Peddlar Mills. | have to-day taken the
pains to go over the returns of November. 4
1888, putting up the losses and gains and
in my opinion, us sure as November
comes, Yost will beat Tucker. 1 staid all
night over at Amherst Courthouse ami
talked freely with fuckers friends. and
they say it will be nip and tuck, | had a
long talk with one Of Tuckes's friends
from Bath, and he says that old Parson
Massey spoke ut Bath for two hours at tae
last County Court, and did not make
vote. lie also said that Y ost would leave
this side of the mountains tieing Tucker,
and that ON the other side he would carry
every county but Augusta. Yost's friends
are bouyant and confidently believe that if
they put in hard work between now and
the 4th of November that Yost will be
the Representative from the Tenth dis
trict, and Ran. will have to make his !
monkey faces ut his friends.

He jumped on them and stamped them to
