A Fiendish Act.

We had seen statement in our eX-
changes to. the effect that while Hon. l.
G. Fowler was addressing. a. large audience
of Republicans, in the Town Hall, at Mar
tinsville, Va, some wretch opened bag
Of sulphur cited hydrogen gas in the room
but we could hardly believe that partizan
malignity could go so far. The last issue
of the 'Martinsville Herald removes all
doubt about it in the following paragraph
The Hall was filled to hear MI. Fowler.
and had proceeded ten minutes OF more
with a telling speech; when some one, let
loose a bag OF sulphuretted hydrogen gas.
with the evident purpose Of breaking up
the meeting, the effect of which was to
clear the building, the poisonous fumes be-
ing not only intensely disagreeable, but dan
gerous In the extreme. 1t was the most dis
graceful act ever prepetrated on Martins
vile audience, and was enough to bling
Shame and regret upon our citizens, ire
spective of party. 1t was strongly de-
nounced by Republicans Of course, and
Democrats as well. An effort was made
by the grandl jury Tuesday to indict the
guilty party or parties but it could no. be
done for Lack OF evidence.
1t had bt zen announced that Mr.. Fo xle1
would speak in the Hall. The Democrats
also had a speaker, Maj. Rosin, who they
wanted to, hear from at the same time and
place. E0th could not be heard unless
there was joint discussion arranged. -
This the Dem ocrats would not consent to,
so the matter was amicably adjusted, by
Mr.. Fowler speaking inside the Hall, and
Maj. Rosin from a position before the
building. 1t was in this condition of things
when the dastardly Aforementioned above
was committed. We have never heard OF
known of a more cowardly or malicious
act. It was fendish, and the man OF party
who could be guilty OF it, is capable Of
anything base, mean and despicable.

Democratic Testimony.

Ex-senator Grady, in his speech before
the Tammany Hall Committee on organi-
cations, said concerning the Democratic
candidate for president
have no personal grievance with Gov
ernor Cleveland. The elevation of the So
called Democratic candidate to the presi-
dency would be the greatest blight that
ever befell the party, for his nomination
was the result of the acts of schemers,
railroad presidents, contractors, Standard
Oil men and monopolists. The working
men ahd honest mechanics were against it.
L shall speak from the record, and |
will ask to be ostracized from all decent
society if | cannot point to corruption
stalking straight to the door Of the Execu-
tive Mansion and knocking at the door,
and coming out of the door with all that
corruption sought at the expense Of the
people. If cannot prove that brides We're
known to fail in the Assembly in 1888
were placed so near Mr.. Cleveland that if
he does not have the money he can get it
at any time-If 1 cannot prove that, [ am
not what profess to be. "

announcement that Tammany had declared
for Cleveland, forced sickly smile, but
behind it is the consciousness that the

Cleveland at the polls. T he formal address

was more in condemnation than approval
of his candidacy, and even went so far as
to recite the causes which caused the an
tagonism of Tammany--caus which still
exist and will have their effect when the
ballots are counted. The candidates of
the Democratic party the address says,
''having been nominated in the National
Convention. following the uniform and un-
broken record of our organization, we dc-
q,eiesce in the will Of the majority of the
representatives Of the party, although we
believe that will to have been unwisely
expressed. 1t was either to sever the
connection Of Tammany with the Demo
cratic party OF to make perfunctory en-
dorsement. Tammany could not afford to
do the first, so the formality of acquiescence
was gone through with, looking alone to
the future relations of the Society with the
city politics and government. John Kelly
had said at Chicago that if Cleveland
should be nominated New York State
would be lost to the Democracy-that
Tammany never bolted, as an organization,
but that the rank and file wonld exercise
their own individual Judgment in the bal
lot they would cast. Even this cold, hes
itating 'daming with faint praise ad-
dress did not receive a unanimous appro-
val, 500 voting against it, or not voting,
and Senator Grady made a severe arraign-
ment of Cleveland, closing his remarks by
stating that he would not vote for him.
And thus it is from every section of the
country. The people are aroused to the
Importance of the November election. =
Apart from Cleveland mental unfitness
for the position of President, his lack of
experience in public affairs, and the gen
eral distrust which prevails as to his abil-
ity to satisfactorily discharge the duties of
the office his free trade views and the record
his party has made on the tariff question,
have stirred the laboring interests of the
country to q hostility phenomenal in it's
character and widespread in it's influence.
The result in Maine furnishes evidence
of this, and the returns from Ohio on the
18th of October will emphasize it with q
force that cannot be misunderstood.

Demagoguae.

Mr.. Thos. A. Hendricks, in the course
of a speech at Toledo, Ohio, last week,
made the following remarks, referring to
the temperance question:
In the state from which have come to
day our democracy have fought this
battle well out upon the idea that whether
a man shall take a drink of beer, if you
please, drink of whisky. belonging to
himself. and if you choose to take drink |
could not advise you to drink anything to
disturb the composure of your judgment
at any time, but il you choose to take a
drink shall you come to me to ask my per-
mission? OF in other words, shall | seek to
lnterpOse to prevent you from indulging
in a habit that you think is not hurtful to
you.
In order to procure a few votes by APP
pealing to the weakness of human nature,
this candidate for the Vice Presidency on
the Democratic ticket, would lift all re-
straint from the liquor traffic and open the
fioodgates of dissipation, without let
decentralization, such as would follow the
policy he foreshadowed. 1t is an unlicensed
liberty that he would grant, which all good
citizens should deplore. for it would erect
grog shops at every corner and crossroads
and invite into liquor vending, regardless
OF character, every one who could raise
two dollars to buy gallon Of whiskey.
Our laws Oh the subject of license are lax
enough as they are, but were Mr.. Hen
bricks free trade" in intoXicants to come
into effect, every decent man would be
driven out of the business, and none but
the lowest characters engage in it. Hen
bricks has been begging for votes for sew
eral weeks, and using all the appeals of the
demagogue to get them, but never in the
history of this country was such an out
rageous and dangerous suggestion made to
accomplish a selfish end. And the ticket
is Cleveland, Hendricks and Reform ~

The Lexington Discussion.

The Rockbridge Enterprise, in its report
of the discussion at Lexington between
the Republican and Democratic candid
ates for Congress in this district, has the
following, which corresponds with the
statements we have had from impartial
witnesses. 1t will be seen from it how
near the truth the correspondent of the
Spectator, and the Dispatch, and the re-
porter for the Gazette, approach
YoSt is small in stature and rather boy
ish in appearance, and as he came to the
front, those who saw him for the first
time, and knew him not, were of the opin-
ion that there was not much In him, and
that he was foolish to pit himself against
an experienced politician like Mr.. Tucker,
but he soon showed his friends and his
enemies, too, that if he lacked anything it
was not brains. He spoke briefly of the
nominees of the two parties, and then of
the principles governing the two parties.
After this he went for Mr.. Tucker S record
showing that i'll many cases that gentle
men had put himself on record against the
true interests of his constituency. We
did not take notes, and therefore it is i'm
possible for us to do Mr.. Yost justice, but
Why Aoeot NAih PlOiOlSCu ftppiouoO NlllCIl L1o
speech ELECTED showed how well his efforts
were appreciated.
After Mr.. Tucker finished. Mr.. Yost
spoke thirty minutes in reply, making
many good points against Mr.. Tucker, and
receiving a hearty applause of the crowd
present. Mr.. Tucker closed the day in a
fifteen minutes speech. At the close OF
the speaking, the friends of Mr.. Yost, SO
great was their admiration for their little
champion, that they took him upon their
shoulders and bore him out of the crowd.
1t is the opinion of many that Mr..
Tucker viii have to fight hard if he wears
again the Congressional slippers. If he
thinks that he can make votes by ridicul-
ing his opponent, and by screwing his
face into all sorts of shapes, he will doubt
less find himself mistaken; sensible people
may, perhaps, laugh at his monkey shines,
but they will, nevertheless, on election day,
vote against his Free Trade notions.
1t is our opinion that this Goliah of poll
tics has met his David.
