''Business is improving, not by fitful,
spasmodic STARTS but by steady increase
from week to week" That is what the
Notioaal Republican says. So here we
have it Officially that not only is the
democratic administration not responsible
for hard times, but under its business like
and conservative government, times are
actually getting better, and that too "by
steady increase from week to week" Will
Mr. Jno. S. Wise and all the rest of the re-
publican stumpers who have been fairly
shouting themselves s hoarse e trying to make
and little work follow in the wake of DEM
ocratic success, please take notice that after
the above declaration of the acknowledged
organ of their party their little dodge

Mr.. WISE says he is not running as re-
adjuster but as republican. This can
readily be understood, as he had previous
ly said he didn't care whether every dollar
of the debt was paid or repudiated. Such
disinterestedness is in perfect accord with
that of the element from which he will re-
ceive the vast majority Of his votes, the
negroes-fora as they pay no taxes, it makes
no difference to them whether the tax rate be
high or low. But what faith can be put in
his republicanism, when up to the time
the democrats refused to send him to Con-
gress, he was one of the most ultra and
proscriptive democrats in the State, hest
tating not to designate Virginia republi-
cans as "apostates for the price of their
apostacy'' ?-Aler. Gazette.

THE SITUATION IN A NUTsHELL.-Are
the white men of Virginia rufians, des-
peradoes, murderers, and unfit to be trusted
with their own Government? If this be
the opinion of the white men of Virginia
let them vote for John S. Wise and che Ma
hone candidate for the Senate and House
of Delegates. If this is not their opinion,
then let them vote for the regular Demo-
cratic nominees. This is the situation in a
nutshell. A vote for John s. Wise is an
endorsation of his vilification of the peo-
pie of Virginia. 1t is vote declaring to
the world that native born Virglnians are
not competent to take care of their own
affairs, and the invitation to Sherman and
his Me-Too the Virginia Outcast, to run
the State for US.

happened within the limits of the States

it alone he must lose rather than make

WHO THE KUKLUX ARE.-The confes
sions of the gang of republican ex-office-
holders who have just been arrested in
North Carolina for murder, arson and out
rage, committed by them sixteen years ago
and charged by them at the time to "the
Kuklux," will give some of our republican
contemporaries material for unpleasant re
Election. After all these years we are just
beginning to find out the truth about these
infamous Kuklux stories-and the truth, as

which these republicans now confess were
made the basis of republican campaign doc

Our Candidate.

We had the pleasure during the present
week of hearing three speeches from our
noble standard-bearer Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
at Coyinpton and Clifton Forge on Tuesday,
and at Buchanan on Wednesday. We had
a desire to Judge for ourselves of the man
ner in which he is acquitting himself of the
high trust the party has committed to his
keening. We were disappointed. Candor
comneis us to say this frankly. But we
never Sin our born days" experienced
more agreeable disappointment. we
had pictured Fitz in our mind as bluff
soldier who had turned the sword into
nlougbshare and become a plain farmer
We thought therefore, to find a stammerlng
tongue on the stand. Not bit of it, He
stands erect before his audience, the model
of an unvarnished Virginia gentleman
modest, dignifed, decorous, selfpoised.
There is a genial, engaging CLINT in his
clear blue eye. He speaks with surprising
ease, clearness and force, and with but
slight reference to notes. He goes direct
to his subject. He confines himself to the
main and pivotal issues Of the canvass, and
treats them in manly, sensible, interest
ing and instructive manner. While he Is
polite of speech and never descends to
coarse anecdote or vulgar invective, he is,
nevertheless, explicit and out-spoken in
characterizing the devious methods OF his
opponents. And when he has concluded
his speech there is pleased expression up
on every face that plainly says-'isn't he
splendid fellow. "-Lynchburg Vuginadn.
Accomplishments of the Average Baby.
1t can wear out 81 pair of kid shoes in

1t can keep its father busy advertising

1t can occupy simultaneously both sides
of the largest-size bed manufactured.
1t can cause its father to be insulted by
every clearinghouse keeper in the city
who 'sneyer take children" which in nine
cases out of ten is very fortunate for the
children.
1t can make itself look like a fend just
when mamma wants to show "what q

1t can make an old bachelor in the room
adjoining use language that if uttered on

FERTILIZERS.
IMPORTANT
FARM Frs!

1t Is now so generally recognized that
Fertilizers are necessary to bring out the best
results on all old and partially exhausted soils,
that it is almost surperfluOus to say mO1e on
the subjec than to call the attentf n of Farm
ers to the importance of buying the product of
those concerns whose experience and standing
offer the hest guarantee as to the quality of the
goods offered.
Approaching the fact that money is scarce,
the wheat crop In our section short and prices
of grain very low, we have taken great care in
making our arrangements for supplies of Fer
tilizers tor the Fall trade of 1885, and fatter
ourselves that we have secured the very best
lowest possible cost to get goods of known
low, we must make the expenses of handling

and will keep full supply of just such Fertil-
izers as we keep at Staunton. AS all observing
farmers know, it is great saving of money
and annoyance to them and to the dealer to
trade directly, therefore. we hope our friends
and customers who have heretofore been called
on at their homes by US our agents. will eX-

RIGHT NAMEs.-We have always believ-
ed that spade should be called spade,
and we find that our noble candidate for
Governor, Fitz Lee, is of the same way of
thinking. In his opening speech in Ac-
comac last Monday, General used the fol-
lowing emphatic language about the Dan
vile SANDER:
81 say deliberately that every one of these
charges against the people of Danville) is
lie. Wise brought these people before the
public gaze and denounced them as murder
ers and rioters. No man can be a good
Governor of Virginia who publishes such
opinions of the people he governs
This is the proper way to characterize
such infamous republican ISLANDERS against
the people of whole community and party
as that of Wise and Sherman against Dan
vile, nor can any man ever be Governor of
Virginia who perpetrates such an offense
against the good people of this Common
Notwithstanding Advance.

Mr.. WIsE's DIGNITIED CANVASS. - 1t
was announced that Mr.. Wise intended to
conduct his canvass with dignity and deco
rum. We were glad to hear this, but in
credulous; and now correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun gives that paper a synopsis
Of Mr.. Wise's Wytheville speech, which
shows that he has forgotten his original in
tention. He compared our ticket to mix
ed team, of which Our Fitz is ''broken
down thoroughbred, Massey the speckled
steer, and Ayers the yaler dog under the
wagon This sort of rhetoric can hardly
be called dignifed or graceful, and can have
but one effect, that of prejudicing respecta-
BILE people against its author. The CORES
pondent referred to attributes "considera-
BILE profanity" to the gentleman, and adds
that ''this is not calculated to strengthen
him among the intelligent voters of Wythe;''
nor, indeed, anywhere else in this Common
wealth. The 'broken down thoroughbred"
shows himself to be frank, honest,
straightforward gentleman, who ''is not the
boss of any man, and has no boss over him.
The 'speckled steer" shows himself to be
profoundly versed in the political history of
the State. The "yaller dog, "a beautiful
but old mparison-shows that he is an
able and popular man; and the people will
pile up big majority for the ticket Mr..
Wise derides, in approval of the men upon
it, and In condemnation of the Malone
Wise methods in the politics of Virginia.
