Our opponents are trying to twist this
into the meaning that the old State's rlgh6
doctrine has been revived. The utteranc9
of the Democratic plat form means simply
that it is now question whether the
Eleventh Amendment Of the Federal Con-
stitution shall be obeyed, or whether
clerks of Federal Courts shall collect the
taxes of Virginia and divert them from
her treasury in violation of her laws. APP
plause.) Ii 1 am elected Governor of Vir-
glnia my policy will be to carry out the
Constitution Of the United States and
use all the authority of tie office to prevent
the Treasury of Virginia from beng gut
ted by Republican U. S. Judges. Great
applause
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
There is nothing which comes so close
to the heart of Virginia as our Public
Schools, which are being carried on under
the system first put into operation by De-
mocratic legislature. AS long ago as 1877,
[ wrote letter, which / see is now being
published, in which L stated that l re-
garded the Public Schools Of Virginia as
co-equal with the State itself, for when
the schools die the State dies. And l
stand by that letter to-day. (Applause.)
The charge that Auditor Marye has mis-
used or withheld any of the school money
is malicious falsehood, a deliberate lie,
uttered with the knowledge at the time
that it was lie. (Great applause Marye
is one-legged Confederate soldier whose
word is as good as his boDd-a great i'm
provement on that man (exAuditor
Brown Allen who [ understand is speak
ing over there. Aud, the-bye, how is
his brother-in-laW? (Great laughter and
applause.) Morton Marye doesn't give
20 per cent. to his brother-in-law for col
lections. (Applause). Morton Marye
doesn It give SIS coo to his brother-in-law
for two hours work. (Appiause)
THE PROMINENT REPUBLICANS ON THE
BLAIR BILL.
When the Blair bill was up in Congress,
one Of the objections made by j ohm Sher-
man to it was, that he could not trust the
white people of Virginia and the South
with the money. Though the Southern
States had expended $4,000 600 of their
own money to educate their children, they
couldn't be trusted with money from the
Federal treasury, so large a portion of
which they had paid into that treasury, to
spend it. That was the sort Of talk that
Republicans used about the Blair bill.
HIscock, the Republican leader in the
House, and other Republicans, said that
their people were not interested in the
Blair bill. Alb there is going to be a
great change in the statesmen Of this
Union, as well as the Administration
(applause). John Sherman, Eliza Pink
ston, and the statesmen uf their day, vii.
soon disappear as factors in American
politics.
A SALTY REVIEW OF JOHN S. WISES
RECORD.
The New Republicans have put up a
ticket in Virginia headed 10y John Wise
enc half of whose speeches are making ac-
them. Yes; Rufus W. Ayers did drive
ole-horse Cart. and [ honor him for it.,
(cheers.) Blaine didn't write Ayers any let
ter about his blood, (cheers]. Rufus Ayers
on cart showed the manhood in him.
The Req publican convention that nomi-
mated Wise came down to Richmond to
carry out the edicts of the Boss, boss
who has perfect control of their conven-
tions. You can appreciate this Bossism
by just supposing for moment that John
S. Barbour was to announce to you, Rock
bridge Democrats, that you couldn It select
your own county committee and that he
must appoint him! Would you stand it
(Cries of No! mol Well that is the sort
Of system that Cameron and Ridfleber-
ger and Groner fought, in fight that
ended in the great 'OSC u1atiOn farce, y
Qaughter). That was the sort of conven-
tion OF the people that nominated John
S. Wise. He says that am the nephew
of my uncle. He is the son Of his father,
Qaughter). John Wise is like the light
man s ten black ones. Of whom she said be
gave her more trouble than all the rest
because he ''showed dirt so easy" When
the Republicans nominated Wise, they
nominated man who would give them
mere trouble than all the rest, because
bis record showed dirt so easy, Daughter. J
If there were no other reason Wise should
not be supported, his defamation of his
State would be sufficient. 1 hear that he
says he fears he cannot visit Danville,
this campaign. IF so, it is because he has
traduced a peaeeable city of people. If l
am elected Governor 1 can visit every Sc c.
tIon and every spot in Virginia, Zap
plause). Wise has made it his business to
vilify the people Of his State, Here is a
specimen Of his testimony before the COM
mittee in the Danville affair:
'I have in my possession the evidence of
we'll on to hundred murders, hangings and
maimings committed in the neighborhood of
Danville within the last fifteen years. I can
produce now the evidence of where brother
killed his own sister in Danville in a disrepu-
table place, where man killed another in
Pittsylvania about puddle-duck, | am pre-
pared to prove mob arter mob. TO show where
a man killed his son-in-law at the breakfast
table in the presence of his own daughter, the
mans wife; where two daughters cut off a
fathers head with an axe; where a white man
killed black man there and put him in his
store and set fire to it to get the insurance on
his life
He calls our people murderers and as.
sassins. He paints them to the world as
monsters. He drags before the world a
whole people and falsely and maliciously
holds them up as murderers. Is such a
man fit to put in the place Of Governor OF
Virginia? (Voices-No !! noD Suppose
he is asked by capitalists about our State
