OHIO HEARD FROM.

Mckinley, the Buckeye Congressman, Tx
posed.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch. ]
ALLIANCE, o., October 20, 1885.
Major William Mckinley, congress-
man from this district, is now in your
State instructing your citizens how to
vote, and demanding a." free ballot and
a fair count" To those who know
the young Napoleon and his method
of carrying elections this phrase can
only be taken as a ridiculous joke and
the height of political buncombe. Nc
Kinley carried this district last fall by
the most lavish use of money and the
intimidation Of employees in the large
manufacturing establishments, it being
estimated that at least 100000 was
used in the four counties composing the
district. In this township alone Nc
Kinley spent at least $4,000, as
high as 5000 being paid for the
Influence 0" of political workers. The
employees of the large manufacturing es-
adjustment Of the Morgan Engineering
Company were marched to the polls in
a body and forced to vote for this para
gon ofpolitical virtue or be discharged.
The same tactics were pursued in Can
ton, MassillOR, Akron, and other towns
of the district. Workingmen were told
that they must cast their ballots as
their monopolistic employers dictated,
or they and their families could starve.
Merchants and businessmen were
threatened with loss Of patronage if
they should venture to oppose the little
boss. A Republican newspaper, that
dared to oppose his imperiOus demands
and expose his corrupt methods, was
slandered and vilfed in every possible
manner, its editor burned in eiligy, and
an organized attempt made to break up
his subscription list. All this in the
interest and at the direct instigation Of
the man who is now in your State
pleading for a a" free ballot and fair
count

"Uerdipe" the Colored Vote.

Mahone's last " secret order" caps
the climax. 1t outlines his plan OF
herding" the negro voters, marching
them to the polls in squads and then
voting them in detail under the super
vision of "two earnest, active, reso-
Lutte, and reliable white men," to one
OF whom every negro voter shall open
and show his ticket, and who " shall
keep his eye on the ticket until it passes
from the voters hand to the ballot
box" and tally the same on list
which he holds. The other " earnest,
active, resolute. reliable white man " is
authorized to keep telly of the whole
vote cast, and then, if this improyised
d" fair count" doesn't correspond with
the official tally kept by the clerks of
election, these 1.-TWO earnest, Gctire,
reSolute, reliable 0hHe men" are to
raise a low on the spot.
The purpose of this plan is manifest.
1t is to intimidate and deter colOred
voters from voting the Democratic
ticket. 1t is recommended for adoption
only in the black countless It's APP
parently taken for granted that it
would not be tolerated in the white
counties.
OF all trayesties and outrages on a
free ballot this is the most brazen and
inscriptions, and if the cOlored voters
of Virginia do not resent and condemn
it with their ballots, they ought to be
herded" in exercising their right of
suffrage just as Malone proposes
Pulaski People.

A Tissne Of Falsehoods.

We say to the New York World that
its Washington correspondent misrep-
resents DIR. CURRY in every respect.
DR.. CURRY was one Of the first men in
Virginia to congratulate Mr.. KELLEY
on his appointment as Minister to
Italy and to express his qualification at
it. This interview happened in our
presence within twenty-four hours after
the appointment was announced. The
present writer presided at the KELLEY
banquet, and had on his right hand Mr..
KELLEY and on his left DR.. CURRY.
The former made the speech Of the oc-
casion-the latter the speech Of the
eveniDg,--if we may so describe them.
Finally, we know that Dr.. CURRY has
received from Mr.. KELLEY letter con-
graduating hin. upon his appointment
as Minister to Spain. We need not re-
peat the statements in the World.
They are an outrage upon DR.. CURRY.
We add that DR.. CURRY does not know
that this article is to appear in the Dis
match.

A waver of the Bloody Shirt.
Mr.. sherman's Audiences.

Mr.. SHERMAN spoke in Petersburg
in hall Of which the "parquette and
galleries and large portion Of the re-
naming seats were occupied by colored
people, the whites filling the stage and
fringing the outskirts of the crowd"
In Charlottesville, when Mr.. FORA
KER spoke, sat the hour Of the ar
rival of the Ohio statesman there were
present about l25 persons, as near as
could be counted. OF these, about 30
were whites"
In Richmond Mr.. SHERMAN will
have a large audience of negroes, but
how many whites we cannot guess.
However, we can say to him that if lie
desires to see the people Of Richmond
turn out in full force, let him stay here
till Monday night and witness a de-
monstration that will make his parade
Of Saturday night sink into utter insig-
nificance.
But let Mr.. SHERMAN's audience
tonight be large or small, it must be
orderly and respectful. 1t would not
do to create any disturbance whatever
on such an occasion. He has as much
right to speak in this city as at Mt.
Gilead, Ohio, and if he chooses to tell
us that he spoke none but words of
kindness at the latter place, and to
speak in honeyed tones to us, surely it
is not for us to treat him discourte-
ously. "Old Virginia never tires" Of
hospitality.

Republican Humor.

The sense Of humor is broadly de-
veloped in the National Republican,
but it takes rather eccentric turn.
In commenting upon SHERMAN's Pc
tersburg speech the Republican says ::
"Measured by any fair standard, the
speech delivered by Senator Sherman
at Petersburg yesterday, and printed
entire in this issue Of the Republican,
is q great effort. 1t is great i'll its
complete fitness to the occasion as well
as in the terse comprehensiveness with
which it meets all possible require
ments. 1t is great in the number and
weight of the truths which it contains,
not less than in their pertinency
and the happy manner Of their
presentation. 1t is magnificent as
vindication Of the Republican
policy, and terrific as an arraignment
Of the Democracy. 1t is calm, digni-
fed, and statesmanlike, but glittering
with sharp points in every paragraph.
1t is impregnably strong in the M
answerable logic Of indisputable facts.
No such effort has been made, either by
the Senator himself or by any other
speaker in the campaigns of this year.
1t stands like a mountain of granite
against which storms Of passion anC
prejudice may hurl their fury without
affecting its serene solidity or EARRING
a single stratum of its formation.
That must strike every one who hai
read SHERMAN's speech as very funny
The eccentric development consists il
the fact that such Jealous organ a
the Republican should impale one of tn
leaders of its party in such ridiculou
fashion. If the editor Of the Re
publican read JOINS Petersburg
speech he must know that it wa
a laborsd effort to suppress
chats a good Republican world hi
hatred Of the Democrats of The Sout
as illustrated in his Mount Gilea
propaganda and his Washington speech
The popular verdict will be that it wa
"great effort" TO dodge being consi:
tent; that it "glittered " with insir
cerity; aud that it "stands like mour
tain" Of granite efirontery.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
tries to justify Judge BUCHwALTER's
usurping decision. 1t says:
"This restraining of the clerk from
issuing a certificate upon false returns,
which upon their face are fraudulent
and illegal, does no more invade OF
abridge the right Of the legislative body
TO Judge the election Of its members
than does the rejection of an illegal
vote by the judges Of election"
But how would you like for court
in South Carolina, or Georgia, or Viz.
ginia, to render such a decisiong II
taxes away the whole power of the Sen
ate of Ohio. The seating of the -four
senator's elected by Judge BUCHwAL
TER will give the Republicans a ma
jority in the Senate. What remedy

ColOred Men to the Front for Lre-Proceed-
inas OF Their Meeting in Onnncock.
The United Colored Independents of
Onancock, Va, met in mass-meeting
Monday evening, October 2G, 1885, in
Masonic Temple. with Mr.. Thomas
Hammond president, and, on motion, l..
W. Gaines was elected secretary.
The chairman, on calling the meet
ing to order. stated the object Of the
meeting to be full and free discus
sion of the approaching political con-
test, advising that every gentleman
should be respected and protected while
speaking.
After several speeches it was decided
to support General Fitzhugh Lee for
Governor of the State of Virginia.
Having read the platform upon which
Mr.. Lee stands, we have confidence
enough in the man to believe he says
what he means and means what he says.

General bradley 4. johnson for Lee
To the Editor of the Dispatch

General Dradiey Il. johnson for Lee.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
understand that my name has been
used to encourage the opponents of the
Democratic party and of good govern
ment in Richmond. Of course every
friend of mine will vote the straight
ticket. Please allow me to say that |
never was more convinced in my life
than now that the best interests of the
people Of Maryland and Virginia re-
quire that the Democratic party and
the Democratic organization should
control those two States and the Federal
Government. | have attracted con-
siderable criticism, favorable and other
wise, by a speech made by me at
| Easton.
That speech only reiterated my ma
ture convictions of what must be the
policy Of my party as the party of pro-
gress andreform. Those convictions con-
trolled my action when | drafted and
procured to be passed, as senator from
the city of Richmond, laws requiring a
new registration there in 1876 and reor-
ganizing the city police force.
They were expressed in careful
speech, made by me here at Belair,
in 1889, ard at Annapolis in 1888,
both of which were published in full in
the Sun at those times and | reiterated
them all over the State as Democratic
elector in the canvass Of 1884.
The issues of fair vote and fair
count and for honest government were
the issues of the national Democracy in
1880 and 1884, and | know they are
the sole issues on which we can retain
control Of the Government.
Ny opposition to Senator Germans
reelection to the Senate is we'll known,
and my reasons for that opposition, as
set forth in my Easton speech, are ap-
proved by large body Of thoughtful,
lifelong, and patriotic Democrats in this
State, who, like me, look to the Demo-
cratic party alone to reform all evils of
administration.
Senator German is not the nominee
of the party, and | have the perfect
right to oppose him, as other Demo-
Gratis have to support him, and a meet
ing of Democrats was the place to set
forth the grounds of my opposition.
But his reelection is but an incident IN
the canvass and in the life Of the party.
1t will not be jeOpsrded by his election
or his defeat, and this State will re-
main in the control of the party as long
as it secures to the people good govern
ment. The issues i made at Easton
are precisely the issues made by my
party friends in Virginia.
live in Baltimore county and have
nothing to do with the contest in the
city, and have had no connection with
it. In my own way, | insist upon
maintaining Democratic aseendancy. l
doubt not my friends in Virginia and in
Richmond will do the same. 1t seems
to me that you all have LINED the cav
airy" and will give Fitz Lee 10000
| majority and elect the Legislature, so
as to wipe out the last vestige of boss
rule in the old Commonwealth. God
bless her and her people.
Yours truly,

Logan Waving the Bloody Shirt.

Logan Waving the Bloody Shirt.
Another Of General MAHoNE's
friends is waving the bloody shirt
in Philadelphia. General JOHN A.
LOGAN spoke in Philadelphia last
Wednesday night. Like SHERMAN
and FORAKER in Ohio, LOGAN in
Pennsylvania waved the bloody shirt,
and gloried in it. The Bulletin, a Re-
publican paper, reports his speech.
We give few Of his utterances
1--WE Republicans have been accused
of waving the bloody shirt. said
intended to call their attention to a man
who was the Democratic candidate for
Governor Of Virginia, and who was
riding over the State in the saddle of
his uncle, General Robert Z. Lee, leader
Of the Confederate hosts. He was at
tended by company of Confederate
cavalry, and carried the flag that Gene
raj Pickett's brigade carried in the
charge against the Union lines at Gettys-
burg. | said that. II is calling out
the Democratic voters aud trying to
gather them in under the symbol raised
against the loyal people in the rebellion
Of the South. | say now to the Demo-
Gratis, the Republican dudes, and the
sweet-bye-and-byes, that if that is wav-
ing the bloody shirt, let her wave"
Wonder if LOGAN would in Virginia
deny that he waved the bloody shirt on
that occasion?

NirCinla's Climate.

There is no doubt of the fact that
Virginia possesses the finest climate in
the world. The wonders it can work
cannot be excelled. As evidence that
we are not extravagant or over-enthu-
siastic regarding our climate, we repro
duce the following from the New York
Times.
"Mr. Sherman, Of course, defended
what he said he had been saying in
Ohio, but he did not describe it very
fully, nor with absolute accuracy. He
placed very mild and not unamiable
picture Of himself before the Virginians,
and be drew it with great skill and
plausibility. He represented himself
in very general terms as simply the
champion of fair vote and an honest
count, and he alluded only in a vague
manner to the measures by which he
proposed to bring about those very de-
sirable results. He said nothing Of his
famous scheme based en- the superseded
fourteenth amendment, and merely
mentioned a wise election law which,
at some underlined time in some unspe-
cited manner, the Republican party in
tended to pass. He prudently omitted
any reference to what the Republican
party had already done in the way OF
election laws, wise and otherwise, and
to the success or failure they had me;
with. In short, in nearly every way
the spirit of Mr.. Sherman's speech was
q great improvement on that of his re-
cent utterances on the same subjects
The beautiful climate Of Virginia has
had modifying effect upon his elo-
quence. 1t is pity he had not tried
1t sooner.n

The ColOred Voters.

Elsewhere will be found the proceed
ings Of the Independent colOred mass
meeting held on Monday night, where
it was resolved to support General Lee.
This is q new departure for the cOlored
men Of Accomack, who seem to realize
at last that Malone and Wise do not
constitute the whole Of Virginia. This
action is significant from the fact that
the Democratic party of this State
has never catered to this vote in any
shape, but have fought Malone and
his supporters without any honeyed
pords for those who blindly and
ignorantly follow him. The Democracy
has appreciated the fact that, nothwith-
standing the money expended by Ma
hone aud the false hopes and promises
held out TO the newly-eniranchlsed
race, if the intelligent voters of the
State would rally to the cause, as duty

Mr.. SHERMAN will tonight tell
thousands Of negroes desiring their
children to be educated that he is IN
favor Of common schools. But actions
speak louder than words. when ne
had chance to vote 10 give millions
to that object, he went the other way.
When the BLAIR bill was under con-
siderat;on in the United States Senate,
| Mr.. SHERMAN spoke against 1t. On
the 10Th of March, 1884, he said;
. Although this thing tthe educa-
tjopsl bill has been talked of In SEN
timentsl kind Of way in this country
for some years, yet ! do not think the
public opinion Of the United States is
now prepared for any such measure as
this and If IL should pass the Senate
especially il it should pass Congress
il would at once excite great agitation,
great complaint, great discomfort, and
I do not believe the system would
stand long before general public voice
would demand its repeal on the ground
Of injustice and inequality"
"This thing"l Sentimental y!
"Injustice and inequality! This is
the man whom MALONE has brought
to Virginia to enlighten us. He gives
us q stone when we ask for bread.
And to think that MALONE has sent
out thousands of pamphlets to every
county charging the Democrats with
being opposed to the BLAIR bill But
that is not the worst that SHERMAN
said against the BLAIR bill. Hear
him again. He said
al am not prepared TO vote to the
southern States money from the Urea
sury for any purpose until we have
better signs than we have had for the
last year or two that they are willing
and feel bound to respect the rights of
citizens Of the United States. II had
no other reason for voting against the
bill at this time, am frank to say that
I should do so because | am not salts
fed that if this money were placed in
their hands it would be used for educa-
ton Of all classes Of people of those
States. and / am not willing to trust
them to disburse the money of the
United States until they respect the &C
knowledged rights and constitutional
privileges conferred plainly by the Con-
stitution Of the United States upon all
the citizens Of this country alike"
What fimsy excuse. There are
thousands of negroes attending in this
city schools kept up by the money Of
the whites, and they and their parents
know that the Virginia Legislature is at
least as trustworthy as Mr.. SHERMAN
or any northern legislature.
The white men Of Richmond will see
that Mr.. SHERMAN cannot trust south
ern legislators at all and that in this
extract, as in all his utterances, his
malevolence towards southern white
men is the most manifest feature.
Vote for LEE.

hirelings and colored dupes, could never
again gain control Of the machinery Of
government Of this proud old Com
monwealth. The time will come
when the colored voter will learn
where his interest lies and who are his
friends, but the Democracy Of this
State will quietly allow them to learn
this lesson, and when they come OF
their own free will to the support Of our
ticket and honestly strive to exercise
the rights of freemen, untrammelled
by INSCRIPTIONS leaders and the glitter
Of their gold, they will be welcome
allies to that grand old Democracy that
regards with honest vigilance and
patriotic endeayor the life, liberty,
property, and person of the humblest
citizen Of the State, regardless Of color
or political belief.
