For the SPECTAToR.l
Prohibition.

There is time for all things, says one of
high authority. The efforts of certain gen.
tlemen, at this juncture in the affairs of
our State, to divide the Democratic vote by
the introduction of the question Of prohibit
ton are certainly very untimely. Prohibi-
ton can only be established and maintained
by the combined effort and hearty cooper
alton of all in favor of its success. At this
time many of its ablest and most faithful
supporters are otherwise intensely engaged
IN an effort to entirely recover the State
government from the thraldom of Malone
bossism. The election of Governor and
General Assembly should not be endanger-
ed by the introduction of any other dis
tracing question. Mahone's stratagem,
this canvass, is to divide the Democratic
vote wherever he can by local contests and
controversies. Nothing would rejoice our
opponents more than to see Prohibition
ticket before the people of Augusta, whose
hitherto united vote has been so potential.
Will the gentlemen who are pressing Pro-
hibition at this time stop and think mo-
ment on the direful results which they may
produce to the State, and yet certainly fail
in establishing Prohibition? The Republi-
cans, such as they are, may promise aid,
but after the election they will have their
way about State politics, and the Prohibit
tionists will find themselves left. Prohibi-
tion is a weighty and grave question, which
must have the support of its friends from
all parties. To that end it must be passed
on at time when politics are not involved.
It cannot live if dependent on the revolving
wheel Of political fortune. Let the people
beware how they pledge themselves. The
first thing to be done is to elect the Demo-
cratic ticket. Let every Democrat be at
his post of duty and listen to no syren songs
of deluSion, DEMOCRAT.

Coz. e. JOHN E1I1s TO spEAK FOR LEr

Col. E. JOHN ELLIS TO SPEAK FOR LEE.
The Washington Correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of the 18th
inst, says: "Ex- Congressman E. John
Ellis, of Louisiana, who has now large
and lucrative law practice III this city, in
short talk with the Gasette's correspondent
this morning, said that he intended to
make a speech or two for General Lee in
the present political campaign in Virginia,
and was partially induced thereto by the
fact that Senators Sherman and Hoar were
fighting MIR. Wise's battles. He said he was
a little doubtful of the result in Virginia at
first, owing to the dissatisfaction which he
had heard existed there in consequence of
the delay in removing the republican office
holders and the unfortunate selection of the
successors of the few who were removed,
but that all that doubt was dissipated when
he read the reports of the speeches Mr..
Wise was making, and that he is now con-
WINGED General Lee will be elected by a
large majority. He said, too, that Mr..
Wise has by this time learned that while
he is playing the part of the trick pony in
the ring, General Malone is standing at
the door of the show tent taking in the
pennies, and that the knowledge that
General Malone is looking out for his own
re- election, and would willingly sacrifice
him to achieve it, is handicapping him
seriously. Mr.. Ellis did not designate the
time when he would make his speeches in
Virginia, but said as he hadn't made a
political speech for almost year he had
one in him, felt like delivering it, and
wo uld do so before long"

Fitz Lee Club in Highland.
ADDRESS BY HON. C. P. JONES.

ADDRESS BY HON. G. p. JONES.
Doe HILL, VA, Sept. 10, 1885.
According to previous announcement,
the voters of Doe Hill and vicinity met on
the evening of the 9Th inst. for the purpose
of organizing Fitzhugh Lee club. Not
withstanding the threatening aspect of the
weather, goodly number were present.
On motion, DR.. j. D. Butcher was made
Permanent Chairman; J. F. Byrd LIST vice.
President, and J. M. Blagg End vice-Presi-
dent; Or. 81. II. Jones Secretary, and S. G..
Eagle Treasurer.
The organization having been completed,
the meeting was addressed at length by our
gallant young countynlan, Hon. G. P. Jones,
candidate for the Senate. He referred to
the many charges made by the Republicans
against the Democratic Legislature ofwhich
he was member, and showed them, one
others, he said, one of the sorest things to
the Republicans was that extra session,
since it pushed its Investigations into the
basement Offices at the capital and showed
that for "Ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain'' not even His Excellency
Gov. Cameron himself was spotless. The
Republicans charge the Democrats with
having diverted the school fund. The
speaker showed from statement taken
from the books of the County Treasurer
that Highland county paid a Thousand dol
lars more for school purposes last year than
it did any previous year under Republican
rule.
Mr.. Jones is an earnest and effective
speaker. His arguments appeal to the rea-
son, and not to the prejudices, of his hear
ers.
Our people are enthusiastic and will give
the Democratic ticket rousing majority
this fall; but let not an easy victory be an
ticipated. The enemy is working. "Eter
nal vigilance is the price of liberty"

LEWIS WRITES TO WISE THAT HE rs NOT
FIT TO BE GovERNoR.-The Washington
Correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
under date of the 18th inst, says
ga Virginia republican now in this city
meeting the GAzETTE's correspondent this
morning, after expressing his belief that
Mahoneism would be eliminated" from
Virginia politics next fall, said that Of his
own knowledge he knows that Lit. Governor
Lewis had written a letter to Mr.. Wise in
which he stated that he did not believe Mr..
Wise was fit to be Governor of Virginia. He
also said he knew Mr.. Wise had written a
letter to Mr.. Shelley Lewis asking for
his support, and that in that letter he ex-
pressed regret that he, Lewis, had not re-
ceived the nomination for Attorney General,
and stating that Blair's nomination was a
surprise, and that had it been anticipated
steps would have been taken to prevent it.
He said that if either of the Messers.
Lewis referred to would deny over his own
name the truth of this statement he would
never again trust either his own eyes or
ears, but that he was sure he would not
be placed in that uncomfortable and dis
agreeable position.

PAGE MCCARTY's REFERENCE TO FRANK

Frank s. Blair is as ''Trit0n among min

good people of this Commonwealth in the
nomination for its highest law officer of a
man who is as ignorant of law as he is de-

"In the Bloom of Life"

On the first day of last June, youth upon
whom his parents sealed their affections and
brothers and sisters twined their young hearts
with his love, completed in the anticipation
OF bright and prolonged life his seventeenth
year. He. with many young associates, con-
secrated themselves to the Redeemer last win
ter under the preaching Of DIR. Dinwiddie. and
he was chief among them in the bestowal upon
that beloved minister of an enduring recogni-
ton of his fundamentally in leading them into
the paths of Christianity.
Nature had bestowed her generous gifts in
his manly featnres and grace moulded his
young heart into the ways OF piety. impressed
with sincere desire to reach mans estate in
the full enjoyment of every adornment of char
acter and qualification for usefulness, Kenton
Harper. when entering his eighteenth year.
sought opportunity for commercial train ing
not for away from his home and his native city.
Ere he had entered upon his plans for the fu-
ture sudden sickness admonished him to return
to his parents, and to the comforts and con-
solutions of home. Typhoid fever and perhaps
a trouble about the heart succeeded the indis-
position. and few days since his young form
was laid down to rise no more. On last Sab
bath, a calm bright and lovely day, atitsn mi
nutes past meridian his eyes were closed for
ever in death. He was the son of George K.
Harper, Esq.,, of this csty and grandson of the
late General Kent ton Harper. whose name he
bore.
Sincere sympathy in their deep af1iction
has been offered his parents and family In this
time of grief. The large attendance of the youth
of the city at his obseouies attested the affec-
ton which endeared him to his associates in
life, who now mourn his death.
The funeral services took place Monday af-
ternoon at the First Presby terrain church, Rev.
DIR. Strider. Pastor. L. B. Lara, r. E. Goode,
W. A. Hanger. W. A. Young. A. W. Woodward.
G. Fl. Bryan, l.. NJ. Yost and F. M. Merriken,
all young, of ages near his own, performed the
last rites of love and esteem in conveying land
placing his form to rest beneath the evergreeDs
of Thornrose Cemetery where repose those OF
his distinguished grandfather and his kindred.
At the grave, the pastor offered up deeply
impressive and comforting prayer. III which the
stricken hearts can find consolation. The words
introducing this article are quoted from that
prayer, which gave insight into the character
of the young christian, who ''in the bloom of
Ii fe'' has been called to joys immortal in the
mansions of the blessed.
