The reception of Mr.. Blaine, at Grafton
and Parkersburg. and all along the line of
the railroad from Wheeling to Parkers-
burg, by way of Grafton. was as earnest
and enthusiastic as could be desired. Mr.
Blaine S speeches touched upon the tariff
principally, and every sentence was nreg-
nant of convincing argument. He can say
more in fewer words than any one we have
ever read after. He returned to Ohio,
and will pass through a different tier of
counties to the other route, enthusing the
people and preparing them for the great
battle of Tuesday next.

Sensible Democrats will now admit that
the campaign of lying they inaugurated
at the inception of this contest and have
kept it up to this time has been failure.
and recoiled upon them. This is evil
denced by the growing popularity Of
Blaine and the certainty of his election by
an overwhelming popular majority. The
people have a sense of right and fairness
which when aroused, is fearful thing
for a corrupt party to deal with, but the
Democracy did not know this until it was
too late. They will keep up this mnd
throwing and SANDER to be consistent,
knowing that a change of tactics now
would be useless They are in bad fix,
but no worse than they deserve.

est OF Our statesmen have given the SUBJ
lect the maturest thought and the most
PRONOUNCED approval. Our own distin-
gpished townsman, Hon. A. II. III. Stuart,
has crowned the closing years of an hon
ored,a and useful career, in one Of the ablest
papers ever presented to the American
people, in the preparation Of a plan for
popular education, similar to that of the
Blair Bill, and which received the unani-
nous endorsement of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Peabody Fund, Of which he is
a member. Public sentiment throughout
the Nation has accepted the policy as that
demanded by philanthropy, patriotism and
christian civi lization. and appealing as it
does to the purest and best convictions of
our people and to the enlightened judg
ment of the country, it must eventually
become the fixed policy of the goyernmentas
one of the means of self defence, more pow
erful than frowning battelements or armed
legions. All the enlightened nations OF
Europe England, Prussia, Aus
tria, Belgium, Italy, Scotland Ireland, are
in advance of the United States in this re-
spect, but this country having once en-
tered upon a duty so commanding..and far
reaching, it m ay be expected that it will
go forward to the perfection of some
plan, consistent with our form of govern
ment, commensurate with the vast inter-
ests involved.
4, Such statesmen as Mr.. Tucker, how
ever, cannot bring their powerful minds and
patriotic aspirations to the approval of
such innovations upon the old order of
things. They belong to the genuine Bour-
bon class who LEARN nothing and forget
nothing" who believe in castles and classes
and that government was not designed for
anything higher or nobler than the mere
rontine Of machine works. They cannot /
understand the moral forces which are
moving the world, and lifting the peoples
to a higher civilization and marking out
grander destiny, expanding the intellec-
tions and elevating the moral perceptions
of the masses.
MIR. Tucker, by his single exception. de-
prived the State of Virginia Of the princely
donation of five million five hundred thou |
sand dollars provided for in the Blair Edu- J
cational Bill--the poor children of the State |
OF the means to aid them in procuring a !
documentary education, and thus. opening
up for them chance in the race of life. |
1T was a cruel, a monstrous obiec.
tion, and will be remembered as long as
the name of Tucker is not forgotten. And |
yet he has the eifrontery to declare that he
is the friend of the workingman and me- |
chanic and appeals to them to employ the
only means OF self-defence the law gives |
them to return him to the Halls of Con-
gress where he used the power delegated |
to him by the people to do them such IL ia
tai, irreparable, objectionable wrong.
Are they slaves that they will submit to |
such an indignity upon their manhood as |
his appeal implies !? Are not their minds |
their own that they dare not administer
rebuke to him in return for the injury he
has done the State and the children of thel
State? let the verdict of the 4th of No
vember next answer.

Mr.. Tucker and the People.

The share of Stanton and Augusta
county in the appropriation of the Blair
Educational bill. had it become law,
would have been SIG, $50 each year for
eight years, or an aggregate of $97 200.
Mr.. Fucker opposed the bill. and conse-
quently this appropriation to the school
fund of this county and city WAS not made.
The share of Allegheny county in the
Blair Educational Bill would have been
50, Ala each year for eight years, or an ag
gregate Of $40, 3l2 for the eight years.
Amherst So, 1S5 each year for eight years,
or an aggregate for the eight years, $73, 4S0.
Appomattox S., 040, or an aggregate for
eight years. $40,320.
Bath, S22,lS9, or ST. .512 for eight years.
Buckingham, $4,96l, or $38, 6Ss, for
eight years.
Cumberland, $5,206, or SAL GAS for eight
years.
Fluvanna, 1926, or $42,o4s for eight
years. 5 =

years. ~"

eight years.
These several amounts for the counties
named respectively would have. gone to

The Vaadicator is mistaken. We have
made no ''embittered' attack upon Mr..
Tucker. We feel no personal bitterness
OF unkindness towards him. All the bit
terness shown in this canvass may be
found in Mr.. fuckers record against
himself. We believe that his election
would be calamity to this district, and it
is for that reason that we earnestly oppose
him. It is for the interests of the people
that we are doing battle and the success
of the policy we believe will contribute to
their promotion. His opponent represents
the ideas and principles which this paper
has advocat ed for years, and it is only be-
cause of this that we urge his election.
We have given too much thought and Ia
Dor TO tile cause of tie people of the
State to seeit thrown away by the eees
tion of Mr.. Tucker, without determined
protest and earnest effort to prevent it.

The Bourbons are circulating in every
form the ingenuity of desperation can
suggest, falsehoods of every hue and kind.
Having Disguised the people and caused a
reactions by reason of exposure, of the lies
they have concocted and given to the pub
lie through the newspapers, they are now
resorting to a more stealthy method,
which they think will escape exposure. It
is in circular form. We have before us
tWo-one under the caption of "a feigned
issue, /" in which it is attempted to argue
that the tariff is not before the people in
this district or State. That is known to
be falsehood. 1t is the livest issue the
Bourbons ever had to confront, and facing
Fit, as they are compelled to do, means
overwhelming defeat for them. The 9TH
er is q circular from the s'COuncil of For
peign Bondholders, which contains as
many absurdities to the square inch as any
publication we have ever seen. They are both
only lit for the waste basket, and to that
every man ought to assign them as soon
as they fall into his hands, 1t is very
proper that the English coupon clippers
and English money should enter the con-
test to save Mr.. Tucker and the Democrat,
ic party, for English interests never had
more faithful allies, especially on the tariff
question. This insolent interference bv
the hired attorneys of the English bond
holders in the elective affairs of this dis
trict and of the State, is an insult to every
voter. and will be resented, as it should
be, by a severe rebuke at the polls.
Bourbon desperation breeds Bourbon
stupidity, to be followed by the spawn of
Bourbon disaster. ,...,5

The theory OF protection Is paternal.
IL assumes that the people are incapa.
BILE of managing their own affairs or OF
buying and selling where their inter-
ests dictate. Under Il production and
commerce are restricted. An unnatu-
raj condition Of affairs Is brought
about. Without interference from the
government the people would find
their own employment, develop such
industries as would be permanent and
profitable, and refuse to engage In
those that could not be so conducted.
AS natural result of forced produc-
ton, the consequence of greed for eN-
cessive profits, we have combinations
in everything. Nothing Is free.
There Is very little competition any
where, except by workingmen in
search of employment. They cut into
each other ON every occasion because
their necessities cannot be ignored
Men who work cheapest get employ
ment. All these combinations for the
purpose Of keeping up prices are made
tariff. 1t u easier i1s to combine combine
than il Is to find markets. II
profits can be maintained the pro
ducers get along very well, even II
their works are closed for half Of the
year. IL is not so with the working
man. Idleness to the employer Is
profit, but TO the employee II Is loss
and hardship.
The tariff laws are very successful IL
building up q few hundred million
aires, but beyond that they are a Diet
riment to the people. They have
filed the country with cheap foreign
labor, driven thousands Of nativ,
born Americans to the farms OF tn
West and placed upon the entire ma
ton yoke OF servitude to few 81
gantic monopolies.

history of Ohio, first, that of 1860.
Your state was then about60 years OLD.
1t was seventy-three years from that
time to when Ohio was organized as a
part of the Northwest territory. In
those seventy.three years of
territorial and state existence the
cities of Ohio accumulated wealth to
the amount Of S1,l00,W0, 900. The
| United States census of 1860 shows
that the total wealth Of Ohio was then
a little over 81 l0O,0OO,OOO, very
large sum of money. In
| 1861 the industrial and financial
policy Of the United States was
changed by the incoming of the Re.
publican party and, in consequence OF
that change, a protection tariff was
enacted which has ever since been in
force. Ia voice-"thank God;''
