Jacob Yost for Congress.
lMorgantown CIV. va.) Post.l


We are glad to learn that our young
friend, Mr.. Jacob Yost, Of Staunton, Va,
has been nominated for Congress by the
Republicans of the seventh Virginia
district. He is one Of the young Republic
cans of Virginia, as his father-Samuel
M. Y ost-is one of the old Republicans of
the Mother of States and Statesmen"
Father and son are editors and proprie-
tors of the VALLEY VIRGINIAN, one OF
the best weekly newspapers in the south.
Hon. j. Randolph Tucker is the Demo
cratic candidate. He is an able and pop
ular man, but he has gone wrong on the
tariff question, and the people of the Val
ley of Virginia are very decidedly opposed
to free trade. For this reason there is
chance that Mr.. Yost will be elected.
There is no man in the State Of Virginia
that will make more faithful representa-
tive than our young and talented friend,
Yost. and if the people of the seventh
district consult their own interests he
will be triumphantly elected and they will
not be misrepresented by free trader.
Best wishes for success, Bro. Yost.

j. Yost, Esq.



This young man, well-known to many of
our people as the talented junior editor of
the VALLEY VIRGINIAN, Staunton, was
nominated on Friday last by the Republic
can Congressional Convention at Staun-
ton, to oppose Hon. j. r. Tucker in the
10th district. There is no question as to
the ability of Mr.. Yost. He is also fine
stumper for his experience, and we think
the ablest candidate his party has out in
the State. The principal issue in his dis
trict will be the tariff, as Mr.. Yost is, we
think, an earnest and conscietlous pro-
tectionist, while Mr.. fuckers Revenue
Reform views are known throughout not
only the State but the Union. We don't
suppose Mr.. Yost expects to be elected,
but he will make brilliant canvass, and
with a less astute politician than Mr..
Tucker would be very unmanageable. We
should be glad to see our young friend
achieve any success compatible with what
we conceive to be the welfare Of our State
and common country. IN

Our Nominee for Congress.


In the selection of Mr.. Jacob Yost rs
the standard bearer of the party in this
Congressional district, the convention
made choice Of a man of integrity, Of fine
business capacity and sound political
views. AS a citizen, he is respected by
both his political friends and enemies for
his force of character, moral worth and
temperate habits. Socially he is the peer
of any of those around him. Viewed as a
business man he possesses all the qualifica-
lions to fit him for the position to which
he aspires. His varied experience in life
has been such as gives him a practical
knowledge of the needs Of all classes of
citizens. He possesses advantages over
most men trained in profession, in that
his early life was spentiin agricultural pur-
suits, thus affording him practical concep-
ton and understanding Of the wants of
this class of our citizens, which many
office holders either do not possess, or I'm
fortunately underrateei HiSd0ng cOnnec-
tiOn with the VALLEY VIRGINIAN, and
his close. observation of public matters
has naturally acquainted him with the in
terests OF every business. His attain
ments intellectually are superior to those
of most men, as every one knows who has
read his able productions in the VIRGIN
IAN, of which he has been associate edi-
tor, not only in name, but in work. The
disciple of his father he is one of the ablest
writerssin Virginia.
His political views are both practical,
firm and conscientious. They are founded
on principle and are not dictated by pol
icy. There is in him no demagoguery.
He has been close student of practical
economy. and in the canvass upon which
he has entered he will indulge no speech
intended to excite the prejudices or in
flame the passions, but will discuss the
issues of the day in calm, clear and digni-
fed manner. Those who listen to him
with the expectation of hearing villifica
tion and abuse will be disappointed. His
of the tariff question is thor
ough, and full discussion of this important
subject may be expected wherever he
speaks. If elected, the people will have
a representative who will serve them with
unSelfish zeal and fidelity, build up the in
dustries of his district, aid in developing
her latent resources in a manner that 1t
has never known; for in this work he
takes the deepest interest and feels the
greatest pride.

VALLEYYIRGINIAN
srAUNToN, va.

One of the methods adopted by the
Bourbon press of Virginia, and indeed
the whole country, is to spread broadcast
the most extravagant and reckless state
ments about the probable result Of the
election in November. They have not the
courage to tell the people that there is not
the remotest probability of Democratic
success in the election of President. 1t
is not because they do not. know THAT all
the indications and developments thus
far point Enthusiastically to Republican sue
cess, for this every intelligent man must
acknowledge, when he wishes to admit the
truth, but for the reason that they want to
keep up their local organizations and make
the best show possible for future emergen-
cies. In illustration of this we notice a
publication, taken from the New York
Herald, a Cleveland organ, and copied into
almost every Bourbon paper in Virginia,
enumerating the States claimed for the
Democratic ticket in November and the
number of electoral votes. The aggre-
gate of the electoral votes put down for
Cleveland is 277, or 76more than would be
necessary to elect him. How does the
reader think this result is reached ? Why,
by giving him California, 8; Connecticut,
81 Indiana, Is Michigan 13; Nebraska,
5; New Jersey 8; New York, 36; Ohio,
% Wisconsin. lin all 1876, not one of
which will be cast for Cleveland. Not |
only will every State named, and all the |
rest of the States North and West, give a |
majority for Blaine and Logan, but there
IS fighting chance for West Virginia, |
Virginia, North Carolina and Florida,
and the possibilities in Tennessee are not |
desperate.
In Virginia there is majority of not |
less that $1,000 Republicans, and nothing
but the most insane folly will prevent the
electoral vote of the State from being cast
for Blaine and Logan. Florida is Repub-
lican State. and from the indications in
that State, there is good reason to believe
it's four votes will be given to the Repub-
licans. Tennessee is not hopeless. Bour-
bonism is being shaken to it's very founda-
tion brave and true men are leading the
hight for protection and education, and
while the former majority to overcome is
heavy it is not beyond possibility. West
Virginia promises well, and if the Octo-
Der election shows a reduction in the
Democratic majority, the Presidential
4icket will win in November.

The Forgery Mill at Work.

After the exposure of the methods
adopted by Barnum. Chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, to palm off
the forged Morley letter, in 1880, as genu-
inc, it was expected that similar means
would be employed by the same party to
help its sinking cause in 1854. The first
forgery appears in the New York Evening
Post, of the 2lst, now supporting Cleve-
land and Hendricks. 1t is as. follows, with
the prompt and crushing denial and ex-
posture of Gen. Raum
HEADQ'Rs FINANCE COMMITTEE,
142l NEW YORK AVENUE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 20, 1884.
DEAR SIR AS we have not yet had the
pleasure of hearing from you. we are
obliged to infer that your interest in the
success of the grand old Republican party
is not such as is becoming to a beneficiary
of this government and a further silence
on your part will be understood as equiva-
lent to an expressed wish to resign your
clerkship on or before March next. Hop
ing for a satisfactory explanation, am.
for the committee.
Yours reproachfully.
GREEN b. RAUMs =.
General Raum' attention having been
called to the matter he Immediately tele-
graphed the following emphatic denial of
the forgery
II am informed that the Eceniag Post
of this date has published a letter, pur-
porting to be signed by me, addressed to
an emplOye of the Government connected
with the Geological Survey. dated August
20, 1884, in which his attention is called to
the fact that he had not contributed to the
Republican campaign fund, and that q
further silence ON his part will be UNDER
stood as equivalent to an expressed wish
toresign his clerkship on or before March l.
THE letter is u forgery. 1t was not
written, signed or authorized by me. /
have not the slightest knowledge of any
such letter. While l believe in the Re-
publican party, and am willing to work
and contribute for its success | would
scorn to bring pressure upon any Govern
ment employee to exact money for the CAM
paign fund. 1t is no new thing to raise'
money for political purposes. Democratic
and Republican committees alike are now
endeavOring to raise funds for this CANT
paign. None will be raised by the Republ
llcan Committee here except in the most
honorable and lawful manner.

to be made to gain political advantage by|
forgery. GREEN u. RAUM.

Second regiment of Maryland infantry,

P. M. Rev. DR.. Foley, of Baltimore,
officiated at High Mass, and Bishop

eloquent sermon. About 1900 people
came to Front Royal to witness the dedi-
cation. An excursion train on the Vir-
ginia Midland railway from Washington,
D. c., brought one thousand, another
from Strasburg large number, and many
awaited themselves of the regular passen-
ger trains of the Shenandoah Valley rail-
road. The excellent music was by the
GovanstoWn choir, of Baltimore county.
Rev. DR.. O'Connell, of Richmond, Va,
and Rev. Mr.. O'Reilly, of Winchester, the
pastor, were present; also. MI. Michael
Jenkins and wife and sisters, of Balti-

1t has been so common since the present
Legislature came into power for outrages
to be committed on the rights of the peo-
pie, that they are not surprised at
anything in that line. But we wish to
call to their attention again one of the
most glarlng acts of wrong and usurpa-
tion that has distinguished this body above
all of its predecessors from the organiza-
tion of the State. In the special election
in King William county, to fill a vacancy
in the Legislature, the candidates were
Mr.. Lewis, Democrat, and Mr.. Mooklar,
Republican. The former received 757
votes and the latter S44. The clerk in GER
tifying the returns reversed the vote and
gave to Lewis the number that had been
cast for Mooklar. The State Board of
Canvassers had before them the ballot as
cast, showing that Mooklar had been
elected. as we'll as the return of the clerk
showing that it was in conflict with the ac-
tual vote cast. The Board, however, re-
fused to be governed by anything except
the palpable and transparent error of the
clerk, and issued the certificate to Lewis,
by strictly party vote-three Democrats
and two Republicans. Of course there
was an important purpose in this. 1t was
necessary to seat Lewis to have two
thirds majority for emergencies, and
compel Mooklar to contest. In the mean
time, while the contest is progressing,
Lewis will be in his seat voting to carry
partizan measures, if such come up, when
the Legislature meets Oct. ed.
For such outrages to be perpetrated by
by an official body of the Common
wealth and openly and unblushingly per-
petrated, in the face of the well-known
verdict Of the people, and in violation of
every principle of right and justice-of
the laws and constitution, and yet not
arouse an indignant protest from every
honest man in the State, is remarkable
condition of things. Is it possible that
the people of Virginia can deliberately and
knowingly countenance such crimes?-
Have they no conscience, osense of right,
no respect for the laws, that they should
quietly look on and remain silent while the
dearest principle of our political system
is being trampled upon? Surely there
must be a day of retribution and fearful
awakening, five would preserve the rights
and liberties of the people as guaranteed
by the fundamental law of the Commons
wealth,
