TWENTY REASONS.

There are some men who don't seem
to understand why ladies prefer sober
men. The matter is simple enough.
Wives like sober husbands be-
cause they can reason with a sober
man.
2-The sober man is more compan-
ionabe.
3-Sober men have pride, and pride
is woman's main hold.
4-Sobriety means a comfortable
home.
5-Good clothes for mother and child
rem.
GA house of your own.
7-Evenings at home, instead of at a
bar-room.
S-Better health and enjoyment of
life.
9-An elevated view of life and
sense of your responsibility.
10-You are a credit to YOUR wife and
children.
11-People that once despised you,
will now bless you.
12-Your word will be gauged as you
resist the tempter.
13-Young men will pattern after
you.

pride in you and wish they had more
like you.

When you hear man sneering at
the local papers because they are not
as big, cheap and newsy as the other
papers, you can safely bet that he
does not squander his wealth to assist
in making them better, and that gen
orally the papers have done more for
him than he has for them. The man
who cannot see the benefit arising to a
town from a newspaper has not the
sense of an oyster and he is about as
much value to town as delinquent

A National Contest.

The National Republican continues
to appeal to the northern allies Of the
Virginia Republicans to aid the latter
in their canvass. Our Washington con-
temporary says:
at would crafty the National Re-
publican to see the Republicans Of
northern States reaching out friendly,
helping hand to their brethren in the
Old Dominion to have the Republicans
of the New England, the Middle. the
Northwestern, the far Western, and the
Pacific States see, as we see, national
contest in Virginia at this time"
We are rather pleased than other
wise that the organs of the malignants
should take this position. In so doing
they only make it the more clear that
the Virginia Democrats are fighting
the battle of the national Democratic
party. Every appeal of the northern
malignants for aid in the attempt to
Shermanize Virginia emphasizes the
fact that the success of the national
Democratic party in 1888 may depend
upon q Democratic victory here on the
Sd of November next.

BSSEX-COUNTY DEMOCRATS

The Hon. George &. CnbeII, Colonel J. Stubs,
and Colonel william X. AyIet on the
stand.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch !
At an early hour on Monday last Jour
eourt-day) the people in unusually large
numbers from this and the adjoining
counties made their appearance, and it
was evident they were more interested
than they had been for many long years.
Even in 1883 and 1884 no such interest
WAS manifested.
Colonel Cabell desired to commence
his speech at IL, but could not obtain
the courthouse until 2 o'clock, as a
very interesting criminal trial was in
progress. Judge Dangerfeld COM
menced the trial early, in the hope that
it would be through in a few hours !;
but finding it was about to occupy the
whole day, he very kindly and cour-
teously took recess until night, and
then completed the trial.
Colonel Stubs, our candidate for
the Senate, led off in a short and
spirited speech in his usual happy
style, and fully met the expectations of
his friends.
When Colonel Cabell appeared on
the stand the cheering was absolutely
deafening, and ii was some time before
he could utter a single sentence. He
spoke for nearly three and half hours.
| shall not do him the injustice to at
tempt to describe his speech but |
can say it was one of the most ef-
fective ones | have ever listened to.
He seems to be peculiarly happy in
addressing the colored people, and
showing them where their true interests
are to be found. His earnestness, sin
cerity, his quaint sayings, his appropri-
ate and original anecdotes, pleased
everybody and made a wonderful i'm
preston. He left every one pleased
and no one offended. He was espe-
cially happy in abiding to the birth
place of Thomas Richie 1.-THE house in
which he was born he had that day WIS.,
ited), his history, his teaching, and to
Mr. Hunter. His appeals to the voters
of Essex to redeem the county, &c.,
were all in good taste.
Colonel Aylett made a short but
stirring speech. He spoke as Colonel
Aylett only can speak, and the people
Of Virginia know all about his speeches.
In the mean time Mr.. l.. Bristow, the
Republican candidate for the Senate,
essayed to have another meeting, evil
IDENTIFY to draw off the colored voters.
He spoke to very small number Of
such. and certainly not six white voters.
The failure was signal one, and must
have been to him very notifying. At
least half the colored voters heard
Colonel Cabell.
If the same spirit is manifested in
other parts of the State as that ex-
hibited on Monday here, Lees majority
is only question of how many thou
sands. 0CToaENARIAN.

A Wlne-Fress at Richmond

The markets in Richmond showed
this year more grapes than could be
consumed-thst is, to yield the grower
the profit he ought to have on his work.
What does this Indicate? Plainly, an
establishment here for the conversion
Of thesegrapes into wine. 1t has been
asked why We cannot have such an es-
Enlistment based on home capital.
Because, first, the men who grow the
grapes, as . rule, need the avails Of the
crop to aid in their subsistence, and
hence are unable to invest in the stock
Of such an establishment and, second,
because the men in town who have the
means know nothing about the bust
ness, and are therefore reluctant to put
their money at risk. On the old saw,
"every man to his trade" We must
cast about to secure men from abroad
with means who do know all about the
business, and such men can easily be
found, provided they are assured in ad-
vance Of their supply Of grapes.
Colonel HARRISON, our intelligent
Commissioner Of Agriculture, is ready
and willing to lend oil the aid in his
power towards the securing Of such q
market for all of our surplus grapes
over table demand, but he cannot work
without definite basis. This definite
basis is complete census of the grape

The Fund.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Times has interviewed Mr.. CALVIN
WELLS. who was reported to have sent
five thousand dollars to MALONE. He
denied having sent that sum:
Reporter: "Did you send any money
to Virginia."
Mr.. Wells: "You have no right to
question me so closely"
Reporter: "Well, if you didn't send
$4,000, Gid you send $4,000 or any
other sum-"
/" have nothing to say further re-
piled Mr.. Wells; and he turned his at
tention to long business letter. To
another reporter Mr.. Wells said, Il
don't know anything about politics."
Let every colored speaker claim his
fair share not only Of the money Mr..
WELLS refuses to deny that he sent to
Virginia, but also of all the money that
the northern friends Of the negroes have
sent and will send hither to prevent a
" suppression of the colored vote"
These friends Of the negro are
dreadfully in earnest, fanatical and
misled and mistaken though they
be; and if the Virginia negroes will
appeal to them, they will see
that their contributions to the Ma
HONE fund take the right direction,
or, failing in this, will cease making
contributions to that fund. The negro
orators are not without protest to be
overslaughed hereafter as they have
been up to this time. In the six
counties Of Mecklenburg, Cumberland,
Prince. Edward, Greensville, Brups-
wick, and Amelia, BLAINE received
some three thousand majority, these
being all of them counties in which the
negro voters are in majority. Why
should not negro orators be select
ed to rally these voters? Can
General MALONE give any reason
which will not be a reflection upon
them? Is it because the white Repub-
licans are unwilling to listen to negro
orators? Or is it because the white
Republicans dislike to be seen or heard
speaking from the same stand with
negro speakers? Or is it, worst of all,
because the negro orators are incapable
of instructing and interesting even negro
voters?
Let this matter be fully ventilated in
the Lynchburg Convention of next
week. The most rabid Mahonete will
admit that a majority of the Mahoneites
in Virginia are negroes. Have not the
voters in the majority some rights
which the voters in the minority are
bound to respect?

THE CAMPAIGN.
GENERAL LEE IN MADISON.
The Greatest Ovation Yet-Nearly Six Hup.
drcd Mounted Men In Line Lee Followed

The Greatest Ovation Yet-Nearly Six Bup.
drcd moun,ed Men In Line Lee Followed
By Daniel.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
MADISON COURTHOUSE, September
24.-The greatest ovation given to
General Lee yet was that Of to-day,
when there was present the largest
number of people ever assembled at
this place on court-day. They came
from every section Of this county, and
there were large numbers from Greene,
Culpeper, and Orange.
Long before noon the streets were
literally packed. Here, as well as every
other place the General has been, he
was warmly greeted by the ladies.
From several houses bapners were dis
played, and upon them the words !:
Welcome. Lee" Across the main
street was floating large red-silk ban.
ner which had inscribed upon it the
names of Lee, Massey, and Ayers,
and beneath was HI. ID. Twyman for
the Senate" and james Hay for the
House." Here the multitude Of people
gathered.
At IL O'Clock could be seen some
distance up the road long line OF
mounted men, with Fitz Lee, mounted
upon gray charger, at the head. On
his right was Colonel Thomas Smith,
of Fauquier, and on his left Senator
Twyman. The horsemen marched in
twos in line that extended clear
through the village, and numbered be-
tween 500 and GOO. Near the centre
Of the line was the Hon. John W.
Daniel in hack drawn by superb
span Of bays, driven by Colonel Z. F.
Golson.
The cavalcade was under command Of
W. A. Hill, Jr., assisted by number
of marshals, and was divided into four
battalions of two companies each. The
first battalion was under command Of
W. A. Collins, the second was under
William Thomas, the third was under
A. W. Buckner, and the fourth under
W. A. Jackson. At the head Of each
battalion was handsome banner. The
speaking commenced at | o'clock, Wise
speaking in the courthouse and Lee
and Daniel to an open-air meeting from
stand handsomely decorated with
bunting and flowers.
On the lawn in front Of Lee was
seated a number of ladies. He spoke
over two hours, and was constantly in
terrupted with loud peals Of applause.
He was in good feather and made a fine
impression. A number Of farmers
were heard to exclaim, Why, |
thought he couldn't speak !"
AT the close Of General Lees speech
F. NJ. Mcmillan presented to him a
large and handsome basket Of cut flow
ers, with the compliments and good
wishes of the ladies of Madison.
Amidst storms Of applause Daniel
was then introduced, but before being
permitted to proceed was also by the
ladies, through Mr.. Hay, presented
with as handsome bouquet as that
given the General.
Major Daniel kept his audience well
in hand. His arraignment of the Re-
publican party, Wise, and Malone, was
terrific, and to this his hearers re-
sponded with cheer after cheer.
The courthouse was filled with peo-
pie, but large portion Of them were
Democrats, drawn hither to hear Wise's
denunciations Of the Democrats of Vir-
ginia as murderers, assassins, &c. This
has been glorious day for Democracy.

Government therefore refuse to allow
twenty-dollar notes to be Issued?
Nobody desires to send either gold
dollars or silver dollars through the
mails. Nobody wishes to send through
the mails gold or silver coins Of any de-
nomination. Nobody would seek to
tempt postal officials to commit larceny.
nor, which is tie same thing, send
money through the mails which would
at once reveal itself to every person
who handled the letter containing it,
though they and we know that postal
officials are as honest as any other class
Of people.
Let the press of the country speak
out upon this subject. Small notes are
indispepsable--yes. indispensable. The
business of such q country as this, in
habited by such people as live In it,
accustomed to such facilities for inter-
State retail commerce as they have
long enjoyed, cannot be carried on
without small notes.
Let US have the small notes, Mr.
MANNING. Speak to Treasurer JoR-
DAN, and tell him the people are sick
Of his experiment. They are not fools.
They know as much about silver as he
does. They don't want silver dollars.
They want currency based upon gold
and silver, as both Chicago platforms
Of last year demanded, and they want
a good part Of that currency to consist
Of small notes. They have elected
congressman charged with the duty Of
dealing with the silver problem, and they
ask Treasurer JORDAN toilet them have
the small notes, and leave to Congress
the duty Of repeating the BLAND law,
or Of suspending its operation, or Of
doing whatever else ought to be done in
this regard. Tho Treasurer of the
United States has no right to be tinker
ing the currency. The Secretary Of the
Treasury has no right to do so. Nor
the President Of the United States, nor
any other executive or administrative
officer.
Let us have no peace until we get the
small notes.
