MURlr HMsTEAD is n recognized leader
IN the Republican party. He states the Is
sue upon which yirgula's voters are to d.
vide to-day as follows:
"The main issue is whether or not the
awful war OF four years, the bloodiest and
coVhest war Of an bislOrY, was fought in
vain or not. II Cleveland il re ected the
work OF that var is nu.hiied. the lives laid
down I'm that glasty conflict for great
principle were laid down Ia vain. the mill
lions spent were spent for nothing and the
principle defeated ~ that dreadful war iri-
umphs through ballot frauds, coercion and
murder. It's the most moment0us election
ever held"
H., therefore. HARRISON is elected, the war
against the South Is TO be renewed in
deed perhap, in the shape Of armed men, but
in hostile legislation; 10 placing the negroes
In official stations; IN cutting down eur rep
rescntation in Congress; in harasslng US
with negro deputy mai'haIs and supervisors
Of elections; and in SO tying the hands OF the
southern people that they can never again
secure control Of the National Government
nor even d their own state governments.

The Boston Globe says Senator HoAE IS
telling "the Republican voters OF the Third
district that BIO would like to have the chill
dren in learning the history OF their country
skip everything between the end OF Presi-
dent ARTuUE's and the beginning Of Presi-
dent IlARRIsoN's administration" The pro-
liabilities are that the children would have to
make skip from the end OF ARTHUR's adj
ministIation to all eternity. However, that
aside. Senator. HoAR's remarks 20 to show
the intense malisnancY Of the Republican
party. That party would blot out all the pa
triotic lessons of CLEvELASD's administration
and nouTish the minds OF the rising genera
ton on hate, prejudice, war passions, dead
issues, sectionslism, aud moral treason. How
any southern imam can vote With such a party
passes comprehension.

The Duty Of Virginia

The next issue Of the Dispatch will tell
whether Virginia has kept her face to the
morning and proved worthy Of her ancient
rcnown or has turned back 10 the night Of
Radicalsm and betrayed the confidence re-
posed throughout the country IN her patnot-
ism and loyalty 10 the right. ln one or the
other Of these positions she will have pl'ced
herself when the sun goes down this evening
This fact faces us and cannot be avoided.
The campaign on the part OF the Republicans
has been one OF duplicity md hypocrisy
from beginning 70 end. The same malignancy
that 6ud, outspoken expression In organs
ike the Cincinnati COmmercial-Gazette aud
the New York Mali and Express inspires the
Republican Jsnuses who have been praiins
about politcO-economic issues. They hope
10 deceive the South In order that they may
throttle her. II any Vrginian has been
lJlled into q sense Of security or rendered
weak.kueed or apathehc by Rcpubl-
can claims, or Republican professions,
we tell him ne may he the cause Of entaiing
upon his state heritage Of disgrace She may
not be able to shake OF for years. II any
Virginian there be who bcsitates 70 vote the
Democratic ticket because Of conflicting
predictions relative % the outcome Ia the
country generally. we tellhlm that hei'sw'y-
ed by the bascst Of Influences and Is recrc-
aut 70 every demand OF duty. We write
hopefully, not " say confidently, Of the
prospects Of the national ticket We have
strong faith in the patriotism and sense
Of rigbt aud Justice OF our northern friends.
We believe that to-day will be dealt the
dcath-blow 10 the sectional party. But IN
any event there is every reason why the
Democratic victory IN Virginia should be
complete. Just in proportion as The Demo-
cratic majority shall fail of will MALONE
be encouraged 10 efforts TO secure the
next Legisls.ure. Need any N'rzinian be
told what his success would mean? Taken
either I'm connection With the national ticket
or dissociated from it, the fight in Virginia il
for the preservation Of our civilization and
continued good government ia Tue state.
COMPARED with that all other issues are as
nothing. To the polls, then, Virginaus,
with the determination that Whatever else
betldc it may never be said that the old state
wasnot true 20 her friends, true 10 the nation,
true 10 the demands o. patriotism, true TO
herself. Tothe polls, 10 order that when The
