LEXINGTON, VA, Oct. 9Th, 1885.
This was glorious day for the Democra-
cy of Rockbridge county. Never in its po-
litical history was there such enthusiasm
manifested as there was to-day. The
whole county was out in full force, and if
there be anything in signs the Democratic
ticket will sweep the county by majority
which cannot possibly fall under three hun
bred
Chas. P. Jones, the nominee for the State
Senate for this District, was introduced by
judge J. X. Edmondson, the Chairman of
the Democratic Executive Committee, and
made whole souled, ringing, and patriot
ic address. He was attentively listened to,
and what he said was terse, to the point,
and cannot but be productive of the great
est good.
Hon. VIM. A. Anderson then in splendid
style introduced Major John W. Daniel, of
Lynch burg, who made a speech of three
hours in way that only Daniel can do. It
was full of facts and arguments which we're
unanswerable. He held spell bound his
vast audience during the whole time occu-
pied in the delivery of his speech, and
could have spoken till midnight if he had
been so disposed. 1t is, of course impos-
sible to give the readers of the SPECTATOR
in these few lines, written hurriedly to
catch the mail, correct idea of Maj. Dam
iel's grand, eloquent, and magnificent
speech, and your correspondent will not at
tempt to do it
Too much credit cannot be given Judge
Edmondson, and those associated with
him, for the ability and tact with which
they are managing the canvass here, and
victory is as certain to follow their noble
efforts as night follows day.
LET US HOPE, that democrats engag-
ed in the Prohibition movement at this time
will see the matter as Mr.. Callison, a true
and good temperance man did, and keep
that question out of the contest where it
can only hurt democratic success and help
the fallen and doomed republican party.
THE LEGIsLATURE.-Be active, be Wig
liant, be constant in welldoing. The new
Legislature is to elect Malone or to defeat
him. He makes the fight on the -Legisla-
ture. He declares that he will support no
man who will not vote for him as United
States Senator. Read again his letter to
Mr., Deadmore, and you will see that he
distinctly says this. DR.. White was run
ming against regular OemocraCc candl-
date, but that was not enough. He would
not pledge himself to vote for Malone.
Therefore Malone wrote to Mr.. Deadmore
that he would certainly vote for no such
man. We quote:
Gas Republican l could never vote for
him. We had better put candidate out on
the last day quietly"
What compliment to the Independent
candidates. Independent of what? as we
once before asked. What sort of '.inde-
pendence'' is that which is not dependent
of Malone?
Independents, read your fate in the lines
quoted above. You are mere workers for
Mahoue. You are doomed to defeat. The
Democrats won't support you if you are
for Malone, and the -Mahoneites won't
support you unless you promise to vote for
him. Richmond Dispatch.

ENTHUSIASM FOR LEE.-The Southwest

So it is in this instance. The Alleghanies
and the Blue Ridge areablaze! Nothing like
it was ever known. The days of 1870
''Tippecanoe and Tyler too, are revived.
The enthusiasm excited by the candidacy of
Fitz Lee exceeds the most sanguine calcula-
tions of his most ardent admirers. 1t is
nothing less than ''triumphal entry into
the gubernatorial mansion.
Poor Wise Poor Wise How we pity
him Yes, we do indeed pity him. With
inevitable and overwhelming defeat staring
him in the face he has grown desperate, and,
in his extremity of disappointment and
chagrin, he has come to
-unpack his heart with words,
And fall Accusing like very drab.
-Lynchbug Virgsnadn.
When we first nominated Gen. Fitz Lee
as early as March, we assigned as one of the
reasons why he should be the Democratic
candidate, that he would excite more enthu-
siasm than any other. The result has
shown that we we're right in our judgment
of his persmal popularity and magnetism.
His canvass is an ovation unprecedented.

An Interesting Incident.

The Lynchburg Viryinian says that Fat
the conclusion Of Gen. Lees speech last
Thursday evening at Roanoke city an in
cident of an exceedingly touching character
occurred. A bouquet was presented to the
General on behalf of Mrs Andrew Lewis
the widow of great grandson of General
Andrew Lewis of Revolutionary fame, and
mother of Major Andrew and Colonel
Thomas Lewis, of Roanoke. 1t came with
words of cheer aud warm commentator
from this venerable Virginia matron.-
Major Samuel Griffin, of Bedford, perform
ed, the pleasing presentation duty in
charming manner; the act itself seemed to
have inspired him to more than ordinary
eloquence, and when those flowers. togeth-
er with basket from Mrs. Fry. were hand
ed General Lee, there were more bosoms
than one in that vast audience that heaved
with emotions of gratitude to the noble
women Of Virginia. General Lees reply,
full of chivalcic feeling, was worthy the
man and the occasion, during the delivery
of which he referred to the we'll known
incident in the life of General Forrest,
when the child held up her frock between
General Forrest and the bullets of the
enemy. If, said General Lee, the ladies be
for us, who can be against us. At the con-
clusion of the Generals remarks, bou-
quet was presented him by the ladies of
East Roanoke. So, being literally over
whelmed with floral offerings, General Lee
handed the two original bouquets to Gen.
Early to hold, as he said, temporarily,
while he (Lee) made what General Early
could not do speech to the ladies'; the
latter had never yet been able to make the
proper speech to one.
