of the city OF Richmond, has Informed the
Auditor OF State that he will not levy for

nifty Board is authority to reimburse him
for any loss that may arise from such re-
fusal if suits be instituted under the de-
cisions of the United States courts for

that these suits if begun may last for
years that the Legislature may repeal
the law creating the Indemnity Board,

What has Mr.. Powderly to propose
Absolutely nothing as far as his address
goes : and here in Richmond we have been
terroriZed by secret society for nearly a
year the terrorizers are under Indictment
and not one word does this great champion
of labor who pirates about justice and
equal rights have to say to defend the In
famous conduct of his order.-Cdnpaigal
Reforner.
This is extravagant language for the
Campaign which has been conservative in
it's expressions heretofore. That terror
has been struck into the political rings of
Richmond and the State ought not to be
cause of complaint with the great mass of
the people. we know whereof we speak
that before the labor became organized in
this State, the terror was on the other
side. If a man think it to be his duty to
change his political relation and vote
against the Democrat party, he was ter
rorized with a vengence. He was not I'M
frequently notified that his custom would
be taken from him if be did not relent,
and if he persisted, it was taken from him.
Now that labor is organizer such things
are not attempted. That is the terror
that seems so offensive.

The defeat of Hon. A. S. Willis for the
nomination for Congress in the Louisville
District, before the Democratic Conven-
ton, is another Democratic slap at the
Blair Educational Bill. Mr.. Willis is
an ardent earnest and sincere friend
of bill to appropriate money from the
National treasury for popular education
on the basis of illiteracy. He was defeated
by Hon. A. G.. Caruth, by large majority.
While it was not solely on account of his
support of the educational measure, sim
liar to the Blair bill, that he was defeated,
that had much to do with it. Through
his influence, the present lady postmaster
of Louisville, daughter of Rev. Alex.
Campbell, the founder OF the Campbelite
denomination, was retained, much to the
disgust and disappointment of a number
of greedy office seekers. and this caused
much opposition from the specimen of his
party.
