John Sherman Sold.

The Senator from Ohio is an old politi-
clan, but evidently, he does not understand
either the people or the politics Of the
South. From what he saw and heard
while in Virginia, closeted with such men
as Malone, Wise and their associates he
left under the impression that great Re
publican victory was assured. The Phila
delphia Times correspondent tslegraphing
from Plttsburg, where he met Sherman
the other day, before our election, reports
him thus
"Mr. Sherman said he had just conclud-
ed his tour in Virginia, where he had been
making several speeches. He thinks a
rousipg majority will be rolled up to-
morrow for the whole Republican ticket.
Z" Things" he continued, ''look better
in that State than they have for long
time, and think the people are aroused
and big Republican vote will be cast.''
Mr.. Sherman has proved himself to be a
poor discerner of thesigns of the times
in Virginia. Virginian.
We can endorse part of what John
Sherman said. for we are quite sure that
'thipgs look better in this State than they
have for long time" and we will add that
Judge Foraker and John Sherman rendered
much aid in making ''things look better in
this State than have for a long time"
We believed that these bloody-shirt ennis
saries would do ''great deal of good, :"
and we have not been disappointed. They
fired Hudibrastic backaction guns that did
great deal of execution. When we have
an other canvass in Virginia, we hope they
will come again and render us similar
service. They are cordially invited to come
again.
Foraker and Logan did in New York,
what Foraker and Sherman did in Virginia,
aud have placed the Democrats Of the
Empire State under great obligations to
Them for the services they rendered the
Democratic party. The "bloody-shirt" is
destined to be the winding sheet of the Re-
publican party.

"COME UP HIGHER. "

1t will be remembered that at the funeral
ceremonies of General Grant, when the staff
Of General Hancock was forming, the Con-
federate General Gordon appeared on the
left, not reporting according to his rank.
General Hancock soon observed this, and
despatching quickly message to the dis
tinguished Southerner, desired him to ''come
UP higher The order was obeyed, and
that splendid man and Officer assigned Gen
eral Gordon to the right in conformity with
his recognized rank
The people of Virginia have issued their
order to favored son of the Old Mother to
''come up higher" The grand old Com
monwealth places her sceptre in his hands,
and commands his service to guard the in
terests, and rights of her people, and to throw
over them, the @gis of the constitution and
laws. Centered on Fitzhugh Lee thereis to-
day, new spirit and new power for the
enduring welfare of the State and all its in
terests. Confidence, unity, and that reso-
lutte will so essential to our future good, and
for which we haveslanguished in the past,
will spring forth impelled by the forces of
moral power, which contentious and excite
ments have heretofore repressed.
"Come up higher" is the voice of Vir-
ginia to her noble son as he steps from the
pursuits of the farmer to the Chief Executive
Office. He comes in the full pride of great
majority bestowed upon him through tine
peaceful workings of our institutions, grand
Ell and more powerful than victories won by
armed legions.

Stronger Now than Before.

The result Of the recent elections shows
that the Democratic party is stronger now
than it was at the Presidential election. The
gain in New York, Virginia, Ohio, and 9th.
er States shows this. If there should be a
Presidential election now, with the same
candidates as last Fall, the Democratic can
iidates would be elected by an increased
majority. From the time that we placed the
paper as the proper person to be nominated
for President-and we were the first i'm this
State to do so-we have had no reason to
regret it, for he has met every reasonable
expectation of all conservative Democrats,
and makes an excellent executive officer.

NEW YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.

This old and always ably edited news
paper issues its prospectus for the coming
year. 1t was established in 1897 and is
the oldest morning paper in New York
Its growth and usefulness have kept pace
with the great metropolis of the country.
Its influence is unbounded, and as the chief
representative of commercial and kindred
interests, it may be said that it stands with

authority in all the departments of trade in
which finance, the products Of our country,
and general merchandise are directly con.
cerned. Its trade statistics and correspond
ence take in every feature of inland COM
merce and the imports and exports of the
United States. Its editorials and foreign
communications embrace all leading mat
tiers Of our own country and all parts of the
rate history, informing the daily reader to
a degree no where else at hand in sum-

representative journal.
1t is not party newspaper, but viewing

DEATH OF JUDGE ROBERT JOHNSTON
Aa eight minutes of ten o'clock, on Friday
morning, Judge Robert Johnston departed
this life, surrounded by wife and family.
No man was better known in the South than
the deceased, for his high reputation as a
gentleman of culture refinement and high
legal ability, and, in fact he was known as
the Nestor of the Virginia Bar.
Judge Johnston was graduate of the
Washington University, at Lexington Va,
now known as the Washington & Lee
University. After leaving college he went
West, but soon returned. making his home
at Clarksburg, West Virginia. He soon
commanded large and lucrative practice.
He served two terms in the Legislature
from the county of Harrison, and was after
wards made First Auditor of Virginia,
which office he filed with marked ability
and fidelity. He was afterwards made a
member of the Confederate Congress, where
he servsd until the close of the war. After

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IL. 1885
THE U. S. SENAToRsHIP.

Before the recent canvass opened, we ven
tured to suggest what, in our opinion,
would be the true policy to pursue, and
that was, briefly stated, as follows
Nominate Gen. Fitz Lee for Governor; in
duce Hon. John s. Barbour to retain his po-
sition as Chairman of the State and Execu-
tive Committees; elect Democratic Legis-
lature, and then let that Legislature elect
Mr.. Barbour as U. s. Senator.
This programme was adopted, and has
been successfully carried into effect SO far
as it could be up to this time. To COM
plete this programme successfully in its en-
tirety, it only remains now for the Legisla-
ture to elect Mr.. Barbour as U. S. Senator,
which we hope will be done. We yield to
none in our admiration of Maj. John W.
Daniel, whom we have considered for some
years as the most brilliant and promising
man of the State, being man of character,
ability, and matchless eloquence, who would
be an honor to the Senate, but we think it
would be better, not only for the Democrat
ic party, but for Maj. Daniel himself, for
his friends not to insist upon his election as
U. S. Senator at this time, but to unite
with the friends of, Mr.. Barbour to elect
that gentleman as Senator to the seat now
Improperly filled by Gen. Malone, and then
the friends of Mr.. Barbour may unite with
those of Maj. Daniel to elect him to fill the
seat now occupied by Riddleberger. To
wait till the expiration of Riddleberger's
term, would not be long time for man
as young as Maj. Daniel, but from the re-
ports of Riddleberger's mental and physi-
cal condition, it is probable that his place
will have to be filled before the expiration
of his term. If this course be pursued, the
election of Maj. Daniel to fill Riddleberger's
seat will be assured, whereas if his friends
incense those of Mr.. Barbour by heated
contest with them, they might conclude to
vote for Judge Staples or some one else in
preference to Maj. Daniel, and thus Maj.
Daniel may not be elected at all; and hence
we maintain that it is better both for the
party and Maj. Daniel himself that his
friends make no opposition to the election
of Mr.. Barbour to the seat of Malone. We
would regret very much to see a contest in
the next Legislature between the friends of
Barbour and Daniel. We are the friend of
both, and would like to see them both elect
ed as Z. S. Senators. The State would then
be ably and honorably represented in that
august body, and Virginia could then point
with pride to her Senators, instead Of, as
now, blushing with shame when the names
of her present Senators are mentioned. The
present Senators are not the representatives,
but misrepresentation, Of Virginia, and she
repudiates them with loathing, scorn, indig
nation, and disgust, and rejoices that the
places which know them now will shortly
know them no more forever.

NO TEARS FOR MAHONE's DEFEAT.-Ths
New York Times says: "Mahone was buri-
ed in Virginia Tuesday under very heavy
majority, probably exceeding 10000, part
of which was contributed by his own couu-
ty Not only was his dummy defeated for
the governorship, but both branches of the
Legislature, to control which he was ready
to sacrifice everything else, are lost to him.
and with them his seat in the United States
Senate. For this result the decent peopls
of the country have reason to be profound
ly thankful. Malone, in Virginia, was a
| tyrant and nuisance. The people of that
State would long ago have disposed of him
| had he not been given the patronage of the
United States government with which to
debauch the voters. 1t was not his fault,
| however, that he also debauched the repub-
lican majority in the United States Senate
and two republican administrations. This
he did in the practice of his avowed calling.
The shame was on those who purchased his
disgusting favors."
On the same subject the New York Sun
says: There was plenty of good news on
Tuesday, but not any was better than the
beating of Malone. This wretched little
scamp, backed up by the so-called respecta-
bility of the republican party at the North,
has disgraced Virginia for years. He has
ruled by the alliance of white rascality and
| black Ignorance, but the decent people of
Virginia have broken up the alliance at last.
The defeat of this reckless political road
agent is benefit to honest politics every
where. 1t would even be good thing for
the republican party if that party could ever
learn that honesty is the best policy But
it prefers to howl about frauds and sont-
RACES whenever the scoundrels it has foster.
ed in the South meet with the defeat they
deserve"
