time read an address in Chinese.
The Montgomery Gala Adver-

cal prostitution and ofso degraded
a character as that presented on
the stump in Virginia by John S.
Wise, the latest and foremost rep.
resentative Of Bourbon Radical
ism.
He speaks on an average about
two hours and fifty minutes at a
time, and nine tenths Oft he de-
votes with scrupulouS fidelity to
the foulestsabuse of his white peo-
pie of what he calls his native
State. This man, who during the
Hancock campaign declared that
his father was a Democrat, that he
was born q Democrat, that he had
the training and education of a
Democrat, and that he would die a
Democrat, now SO hates the Demo
cratic party and the white Virgin
ians who compose it thathe charges
themsindiscriminately with being
sympathizers with political muir
derers and assaSsins, asserts with
unbluShing cheek that the Dan
vile riot was gotten mp by Demo.
Gratis for political purposes, and
proudly boasts that he proved it
By testifr:nglbefore a Republican
Investigation committee OF the
Senate.
Unfortunately for decent politics
a man like this, as a candidate for
the highest Office in a State, CARES
sentially lower the tone ola politi
cal campaign. Confident OF the one
hundred and twenty thousand ne
groes behind his back, sure of
their allegiance and devotion no
matter what he says or does-per-
haps more so iii proportion as be
abuses his own race-he conducts
a campaign not now possible many
other Southern State. No white
Republican in that section, wheth
er native or imported, would so far
forget what is due to propriety, and
even decency, as to indulge in such
disgraceful harangues as Wise has
just passed off in Southwest Vir
ginia for political arguments.
No Sherman, or Larrabee, or
Foraker, strangers to the South and
aliens to her soil, has done so much
to rouse into fame the Smonldering
fires of sectional hate and race Bit
terness as this follower of Malone
who says that if elected he shall
take his seat, so help him God, or
yield his life to the Danville muir
derers and ballot box suffers.
The best course for Democrats to
pursue is to treat this recreant Vir.
ginian in the manner which he in
vites, accept the issue as he makes
it and beat him to political death
with it. There seems no other way
to teach men of his political prac-
tees that the time has come
for decent politics and that the sort
he discusses is at least a dozen
Years too late.-Washington Post.
