SUPERFLUoUs.-The Salem Times Regis
ter says that in his speech there on last
Monday, Maj. Daniel held up several of the
slanderons circulars emanating from Re.
publican sources, in which it was charged
that he is opposed to free schools and
holding them aloft, he said: 81 have re-
peatedly said, and want to say again, that
whoever makes or circnlates that charge
does so with lar branded upon his brazen
brow"
What a waists of time and breath on the
the part of Maj. Daniel The creatures
who make the charge themselves know that
they are liars and every body who knows
them knows they are liars. They would
not have the face to deny to any honest
man that they are liars. They have nc
regulations that would suffer from the
charge of mendacity SO what is the use Of
wasting time on the dirty detestable dogs
in denouncing their universal y-recognized
disregard and contempt of the truth 1t is
super1uous. -Lynchburg Virginian.

One Vote /!

One vote may seem to be small matter,
but great consequences may hang upon it
One vote may save a county, and one coun-
ty may save the Legislature. and, conse-
quently, may save us from Malone in the
Senate and from all the odious and infam-
Gus legislation which he will seek to put
upon US. 1t may save us from partisan and
incompetent judges on the circuit and
county beaches. 1t may save us from all
the insults and outrages of boss DONNA
ton.
One note! Great results may depend up
on it. 1t may save the State from igno-
miny. 1t may bring us peace, good order
and good government
Let no Democrat fail to deposit his bal
lot. 1t is his solemn duty; it is his religions
duty. Go to the polls make your neigh
bor go. Go, as you love your State and
her good name; 60 as you love yourself,
your family, your friends. Let nothing
keep you away but that which is utterly
insurmountable. Then all will be well,
and peace and prosperity will shed their
benignant smile on the blessed Old Com
monwealth.
ONE VOTE! Remember what it may
do.-Lynchburg Neacs.

FORAKER THREATENS TO USE THE BAYO-
NET. AT Rochester, N. Y, ON Thursday
last, Mr.. Foraker played the role of John s.
Wise and out Heroded Herod. He said, as
reported in the World of Friday:
1T is not ,orong to demand fair count
an the South, and ,Oe will haze it If at the
point Of the bayonet."
No. And it is no: wrong to demand a
fair count in Ohio; but suppose southern
speaker we're to add I'VE will have it if at
the point of the bayonet," what State would
be large enough 10 confiue within its limits
the howl that would go up from the Repub-
lican presses and orators?
If the bulldozing Foraker can come to
Virginia and face her people Immediately
after making that diabUlical utterance, it is
because Wise, Malone, and their followers
have made the northerners believe that Vir-
ginia is cursed with bulldozers, ballot box
suffers, and assassins, and the good people
here desire aid in riding the State of them.
Malone and Wise must be made to answer
tor thus sin against Virginia. On the Sd of
N,'vember, see to it that you administer
your share of it.-Richmond Dispatch.

All, indeed! The Sherman bloody shirt
republican party in Ohio has fought Ma
homes fight in Virginia. That is good. And
now the Wing wants to reciprocate and
''strike valisntly" for Sherman and his re

What happy set they must all be. The
idea that Virginia will ever follow Ohio and
John Sherman in their disgraceful bloody

simply absurd. -Lya.hburg Adpance.

Is not that refreshing to the good people
of Virginia? The bloody shirt republicans
of Ohio. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,

Editors Staunton SPECTATOR,

This is mistake. No one, at any time,
ever intimated, that any such thing would
be required or expected of any candidate.

because of private BUSINESS matters alone.

hibition party will oppose the reelection OF
Malone, as vigorously as the nominees
of the Democratic Convention, and so feel

will do all can honorably do to insure
heir election. ALEX. Fl. FULTZ. .

A Malone triumph in 1888 would have
crippled Virginla's material interests to an
extent hard to realise. If Malone should
carry the election on the Bird of November
next it would take Virginia years to recover
from the disaster. Democracy and mate
rial prosperity go together. Mahoueism and
ruin go hand in hand. But the Democrats
will not allow Malone 10 triumph. There
are votes enough in the Democratic party to
defeat Virginia arch enemy, and by the
ballots that enemy will be overthrown.-
