VINO Is REsPoNsIBLE?-We understand
that in his speeches, Jno. S. Wise is crying
out "hard timesl'' and laying blame for the
depressed condition of affairs on the Demo-
cratic administration, and ON the Demo-
cratic policy. A charge so absurd scarcely
leeds REPUTATION.
How is it that the panic took place year
before the Presidential election, and months
before Cleveland's nomination? Are the
Democrats responsible for the infamies con-
nected with the failure of Grant & Ward,
and the consequent crash of the Marine
Bank, and the numerous failures that these
two brought in their train? Are the Dem
ocrats responsible for an over production in
the manufactures in the country, and the
low prices which necessarily followed?
Are the Democrats responsible for the
most widespread, and desolating drouth
that has even parched the country, blister
ed the soil. and blasted the growing crops !?
Away with such nonsense Abingdon

Seventh Senatorial District.

Nh. c. P. Jones, of Highland, who has
been called with entire unanimity, to
lead the Democratic forces in the Senate
rial district, composed OF the counties of
Rockb1idge, Botetourt, Allegheny, Bath,
and Highland, is young champion of the
party who achieved eminent success when
he redeemed the three last-named in a
contest fer the House of Delegates in 1883.
The nomination al Millboro', Friday, and
the circumstances under which it was
made, is handsome tribute to him by as
fine constituency as can be found in the
State. The district is large one, but
there is sufficient time in which Mr.. Jones
can make full canvass of it. In the two
Valley counties, he will be received with
more than cordial greeting in aiding
them to swell their majorities for the State
ticket. All five Of these counties were
Democratic in the Presidential election ex-
cept Allegheny. With such candidates as
Jones for the Senate and Hobbs for the
House of Delegates that county should be
redeemed for the State ticket and made to
swell their majorities for seats in the
Legislature.

Those who wish to advance the interests
of the Democratic party in the present
important canvass should take the proper
steps to have every voter supplied with a
Democratic paper, and they should unite
with others in raising a sum sufficient to
supply all in their neighborhood Many
do not take any paper, and Republican
papers are sent gratuitously to many-all
such should be supplied with good Dem
cratic paper, and it would not require a
great sum in each neighborhood to effect
this purpose. The cheapest and the most
effective mode of increasing the Demo-
cratic vote, is to furnish Democratic news
papers to the voters. Each neighborhood
should, without delay, send us large clubs
at the low rates given above.
In making up clubs, the names need not
be confined to one office. We will send to
any addresses furnished.

The real republicans of Virginia, the men
who are not "apostates for the price oftheir
apostacy," are as much intent upon elm
mating Mahoneism-which is infinitely
worse than the worst sort of carpetbagism
ever was-from their State as the most ultra
democrat can possibly be. Col. Houston,
the superintendent of the large iron and
steel works at Roanoke, an old-issue re-
publican, and delegate to the last national
republican convention, has declared that he
not only doesn't intend to support General
Mahone's candidate for Governor, but will
take no half way means to defeat him, and
will therefore go to the polls and vote for
General Lee As it is with Col. Houston, so
is it with most of the other consistent and
reputable Virginia republicans. Alexandria

WHO ORIGINATED THE FALSE REPORT
ABOUT NEwBERRY.-The false report that
Gen. Sam. Newberry had gone over to the
Republicans has been most emphatically
and Indignantly denied by himself, and he
has been appointed one of the Democratic
canvassers in this campaign.
Who originated it? Was it "Ananias'
Blair? The Salem Times-Register of Au-
gust 2Sth, says
1.-TWO Republican young men of this
place, who came down on the train from
the Southwest on Monday, the 18th inst,
alege that they were directed by Attorney
General Blair himself. to say to the chair
man of the Republican party of this county
that "Newberry has come over to us - If
things are not thus, however, we have only
to say that if not more particular as to his
facts the claw officer of Virginia will soon
attain in the matter of truth the same bad
eminence he has i'll reference to the force of
honor"

APPLICATION Nor Though
not so intended, how strikingly applicable to
the Republican speakers in this canvass, is
the following from the last issue of the Har-
risonburg People,
"Great crowds assemble to hear what
they believe is to be the truth, and come
prepared to carry away with them the ar
guments of the speaker; and he who will
abuse such confidence, and, unanswered,
give lies rather than the truth, cannot be
too strongly condemned. He is unworthy
the confidence and the fellowship of honest,
truth-loving people. A political lie is black
and cannot be whitewashed. There is no
excuse for it,"

. A COOP STORY ON RAN. TUcKER.-
The Washington correspondent of the
Bait San is responsible for the following
Congressman J. Randolph Tucker, of
Virginia, has the reputation of being one
of the lest stump-speakers in his State.
He is always prepared to talk to his con-
stituents on subjects near and dear to their
hearts under any and all circumstances
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, who ac-
companied Mr.. Tucker through parts of
Virginia during the campaign last fall, de-
clares the Virginia Congressman to be one
of the most incessant takers in political
fight he ever listened to. The two states
men were travelling through the South
western section of the State electioneering
for Cleveland and Hendricks, making
sometimes as many as twenty or twenty
five speeches day. In fact, wherever Mr.
Tucker discovered several men talking to-
gether by the roadside, he, without further
livered a brief speech on the political
struggle then going on.
One morning about nine o'clock these
two gentlemen were passing through a
piece of woods, when they came upon a
banging party. The rope had been placed
around the victims neck, and the chief ex-
ecutioner informed the prisoner that he
might have ten minutes to say anything he
desired in his own behalf. Mr.. Tucker,
saw an opportunity, so Mr.. Blackbu
says, to work off few political remarks,
so he pushed his way through the crowd
and requested the condemned man to di-
vide his time with him."

GEN. FITz LEE OPENS THE CAMPAIGN.
Gen. Fitz Lee was in Baltimore few
days since. A reporter of the Baltimore
SIN in that paper of Monday says
HE [ Fitz Lee] will open his campaign
in Accomac to-day, and will then go to
Northampton county, after which he will
speak at Lexington. From Lexington, the
General will travel all over the State,
speaking at every point. He will wind up
his canvass in Richmond on the eve of the
election. He is in fine health, eager for
the fray and confident of success. The
General says he does not write his speeches
out in full, but prepares a skeleton of
what he is going to say, and then trusts to
the inspiration of the moment for the fill
ing in. Though not ranked as an orator,
it is said that he always produces good
effect by his Straightforward way of put
ting things and by his magnetic personali-
ty. His manner is quiet, modest and very
pleasing, and is sure to impress those he
meets with the belief that he is man of
great reserve power as we'll as delightful
companion and a sincere. steadfast friend.
1t is only when his blue eyes flash with ex-
element that one can see in the quiet gen.
tleman the fire and dash that made him a
famous cavalry leader. In conversation
the General is interesting and unreserved,
but he avoids newspaper interviews, as he
says they are often disappearing and

THE LIE DIRECT.-The late Democratic
State convention of Ohio in one plank of
its platform makes most emphatic reply
to the sectional hatred" resolution of the
Republican convention by an excellent ref
erence to General Grants dying words con-
graduating the country on the restoration
of harmony and good will. The dying
declarations of the great hero give the lie
direct to all of the ''bloody Shirt declara-
lions now promulgated by the bitter enc
mics of the South, and to none more en-
phatically than the lie of the New York
Tribune the other day that "to honor the
cause of the rebellion was plainly the
object of Gen. Lees nomination.
A more atrocious falsehood was never
uttered, for of all the leading Confederate
heroes, Fitz Lee has been the most conser-
vative IN both his actions and language
since the war, and has never failed to con-
tribute all in his power to bury the bloody
shirt and reconcile differences and animosi-
ties between the sections. He went once
all the way to Boston to do that amid the
plaudits of all good men, and at the recent
burial of the great conqueror of the South,
none paid more heartfelt honor and tribute
to his memory than Fitz Lee. And yet
such political ghouls and hyenas as the
Tribune and others Of such Republican
ilk, find no more congenial occupation
than to villify the names and SANDER the
motives and conduct of such men by the
propagation CT the most unblushing false.
