The Democratic politicians are putting
an interrogation point after Clevelaud'I
name. They are asking each other whether
It will be safe to nominate him in tho face
OF that very remarkable utterance Of free
trade commonplace which msshRls sgainst
him the bread-Winnsrs Of this country.
Some Of his best friends are frightened.
Some who arc not his friends are using
his message on him as knife. There Il
an industrious feeling Of the Democratic
pulse to determine whether 1t will cost
more TO carry him than to throw him over.

OF resource will force It to carry Mr..
Cleveland. If not, who is the other man ?
It would be sad thing for the Democracy
il Mr.. Cleveland were to swallow an oyS-

A West Virginia friend, who also was
making his FIRST visit to Richmond, was
eager to get there that he might pluck
from the over.laden trees yams, oranges
and bananas, and revel in other delights
OF the Sunny South. Richmond was
frozen up as tight as drum. Every skel.
eton OF tree was clad in ice. The streets
and the pavements were literally like
glass, and the rain iroze as 1t fell. Men
and horses fell as they tried to walk. l
can well imagine, however, that under
moro favorable circumstances Richmond
vindicates her claim 10 be called beautiful.

O man wanted to use the sugar bowl he
had to get the person next to him to help

1t should be whisked away to the farther

sat at my eide, said It was q Odd cheap

men weaken language by trying to make
1t vigorous.
It was my intention to take a ride on
Richmond's electrical railway. The fret
man. / asked about 1t said II was not run
ming that day. Then I asked whether 1t
was successful. "Soms times 1t is, that is,
when 1t runs It gets slong very well some

more OF It for few days. But they say It
will be oil right after awhile" A colorod

He said there was but one man, Gen.

Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1888-04-13
FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 10. 1858.

Who can read the cold, crafty, cruel
letter of that voracious little political
spider William Malone without plying
that fat, gay, plucky blue bottle, John
Wise, that has gotten entangled in his
web? Alas. it is only question of time
when his gaudy wings shall be tangled up
in the skein and his dessicated anatomy be
dropped from the party web to Join scores
of others who have essayed his role of
Liberator. Somehow we can never think
of Wise without recalling Don Caesar de
BaZan. So brave, SO eccentric, SO dash
ing, even in sight Of the muskets loaded
for his execution; and yet If some MOTTO
be-hoped-for Mariana does not extract
the bullets from the guns, Wise is doomed.
There is but one fly Malone ever caught
that was too big for his web, and that was
the Democratic party. That tremendous
blue bottle for year or two could not
realize what was going on while the Gen
eral was tying it up. But when it did
it buzzed and hummed and kicked at such
a rate that it knocked the web all to pieces
and ran the General into his hole, where
he has been ever since,
Moral.-The true place for Liberator
is the Democratic party. To fight for re-
form inside the party when the party is
the personal property of another man is a
waste of time and pluck.

POLITICAL NOTES,

Some of the Tenth District papers are
coming to the front with their preferences
for next Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. The Stanton Spectator declares
for FL. st. Geo. Tucker Of Stanton; the
Lexington Gazette declares for Hon. VIM.
A. Anderson of Lexington, and the Nelson
EGaniner thinks the nominee should come
from that side Of the mountains this time.
The Republican County Committee of
Augusta, has called mass meeting at the
Court House Saturday, April 2Sth. to elect
delegates to the State Convention at Pc
tersburg. The city Republicans will meet
the same day and place and choose their
delegates.
Thirty-nine out of the seventy-two men,
bers of the Republican City Committee of
Richmond, have adopte resolutions hear
lilly endorsing Hon. John S. Wise in his
fight against Malone.
DIR. Richard A. Wise of Williamsburg
a brother of Hon. John S. Wise, thinks
Malone ought to be and will be reelected
Chairman of the State Convention at Pc,
tersburg. He says that his brother and
Gen. Malone will understand each other
ssthough busy-bodies are now trying to
ALLEVIATE them.''
- Mr.. JimeS A. Frazier, VITO is a Repub-
lican power in Rockbrldge. and has re-
sumed his residence there, writes severe
letter On Malone to the Richmond Dis
patch in which he says, among other things,
that stocking cards in Republican con-
ventionS by petty bosses, had its day when
Conkling stocked them against Blaine III
1880 and was stamped out IN 1884, never
to return again, certainly not by Malone
and his methods"
Mayor Darlington having withdrawn,
Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson and George A
Ainslie are the only two candidates for the
Democratic primary nomination for Mayor
of Richmond.

an act was passed by the House of Burgesses

Pen9leton, George Wythe, George Mason and
Thomas Ludwell Lee were elected as the
Revisors of our laws.-See 9 Henings' Statutes

the Legislature, and John Nj. Patton and Con-
way Robinson were appointed for the WORK.
In their Report to the Legislature in 1849.
they speak of themselves as Revisors
Even Webster in his dictionary quoting the
eminent Judge Story as authority has the
word ''revisory " from the Latin, aegisorius-
meaning, Having the purpose or power to
revise" Hence Reyisors with US, are public
functionaries with the power to revise the
statute laws.
One might as well insist upon writing Super
visor or Senator with final En-, as SO TO write
the special term Revisor.
In pronunciation, however, the obscure
sound of the vowel in the last syllable, is very
much the same, whether it be e. or or.

MALONE ON WISE, AND WISE

On the first page of to-day's VINDIcA-
TOR, the reader will find an opinion of
Gen. William Malone as a public leader
by Hon. John s. Wise, and an opinion .of
Hon. John s. Wise as G political kicker by
Col. W. G. Elan. Below VIC give liberal
extracts from an opinion of Hon. John s.
Wise by Gen. William Malone. and an
opinion of Col. W. G. Elan by Hon. John
s. Wise. The turning inside out of the
past management of the Republican party
IN Virginia will be instructive reading to
the Democratic reader, while the peppery
personalities of both sides will furnish
amusement. TO read the extracts under
standingly, the reader should commence
with the two letters on the first page and
close with the two we give below. AS

Editor Vindicat0r.:
There are some mistakes in the current
sketches of Gen. Wiliiamsons life:
Thomas Hoomes Williamson was born in
Richmond, Va. He was educated at West
Point but left before graduation and became
civil engineer He was for long time
Professor of Civil and Military Engineering,
Architecture, and Drawing at the Virginia
Military Institute. He served OIL Gen Beaure-
CARDS staff as Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers
at Manassas and elsewhere in 1861 but WAS
ordered back to the v NJ T.
He served at Jaekson's request, for short
time on the staff of that famous general, but
was ordered back to the Institute and remain
ed there until his death, in 1885,
The Chair of Engineering was divided at
one time between him and Gen. G. W. Gusts
Lee, before the latter became President of
Washington Lee.
He was IA years old at his death and leaves
five children. He had been AZ years at the
Military school and was the teacher of many
of our best engineers in the South He was a
genuine Christian and his marked character
