FINCAsTLE, VA, Aug. 10, 1888.
Editor Virginian to call
issued by the county chairman, the Repubs
licans met at p. M. in the Court House.
meeting called to order by Mr.. G. T. Halle
wood, who on motion nominated Marcus
D. Obenchain, ST., for chairman of the
meeting. The following delegates were
nominated and elected to go to Lynch
burg August so; Messrs. A. B. Logan,
Robt. Fulwiler, G. 7. Lakewood, Henry
McFadden, and VIM. Harkens. In regard
to electoral ticket, they were uninstructed.
On motion by Mr.. Fulwiler, and amended
by DR.. Boyd. Pat McCaull, Esq, for
Congress in the 9th district, was first
choice so long as he was an available can
didate. The convention was one for peace
and harmony. The Republicans of Bote-
tourt county can congratulate themselves
upon having been one of the most harmo-
NOUS conventions that have been held in
Fincastle for many day, much to the
disappointment of the Democrats, some of
whom were in the meeting in anticipation
of row, in which | am happy to state,
they were happily upset. Mr. q. 7. Hazel
wood rendered his resignation as chair
man. It was put to vote, and was not
accepted by large majority.
The Prohibitionists held a meeting in
the same hall at p. M, pursuant to a call
of Mr.. F. A. Leslie.
The meeting was largely attended and
speeches made by Rey. Moomaw and others.

Large Coal Deposits.

Recent discoveries of coal in Morgan
comfy, Mo, near Versailles, have exposed
the largest body of coal, probably, in the
world. The coal lies six feet from the
surface and has been penetrated to adepth
Of 50 feet without reaching the. bottom
One tract of III acres was recently sold for
$1,000 before the full extent of the deposit
vas known. Another body of 1000 acres
has been purchased by Kansas City syn
dicate. The fields are distant from Kansas
City l49 miles by the Missouri Pacific and
will be 143 miles by the Santa Fe route,
when it is completed. All of the output
will be shipped to Kansas City, and will
require three hundred cars day. Six
miles distant have been found immense
deposits of iron ore, and it is predicted that
another Birmingham will spring up. In
Cooper county, near Bonneville, on the
Missouri river, a vein forty feet thick has
been penetrated. The quality is excellent
and will weld iron without the use of bo-
rax and is said by blacksmith S to be equal
to the Blossburg or Pittsburg coal, which
costs SO cents bushel in Pittsburg.

Editor VALLEY Vdrgi,siaas:
Dear Sr,-I noticed short paragraph
in your valuable paper which stated that
Col. John S. Mosby was cousin of Gen.
Ben Harrison, our candidate for Pres-
dent. | think your informant is mistaken
as to Col. Mosby, but | am reliably in
formed that he is nearly related to Thos.
Y. Mosby, of Lynchburg. And what is
better the latter gentleman has never cast
Democratic vote in his life for any i'm
portant office of the government, and will
be found voting along with 100000 other
workingmen for Harrison and Morton this
fall. am, your friend,

Think of it! Every measure enacted
into law relating to the industries, the
revenues, the currency, the homestead,
and which has brought the Nation to its
present unexampled condition of prosper
ity, was opposed by the Democratic party.
And now this same party. after Republic

government. denounce the Republicans as

hood and crime, succeeded in 1884, and in
the four years of their rule, they have not
changed single law, knowing that to do
so would be productive of real harm, and
vet they rail at the Republican party as
incapable and corrupt, and without fact
or act to sustain them. Such monumental
impudence is without a parallel,

and from my stand point of view they are
the only hope of future greatness. Thus
believing. have steadily adhered to them,
and do not now allow myself to be diverted
from what believe TO be right. The last
act OF Gen. Malone appears to be frought
with more magnanimity than his former,
in this, that he has left the power in the
hands of the people, (all that l have ever
commended for). Let US take hold and
leave the fued existing in our ranks to be
settled after the smoke of the great ma
tional battle has passed away.

We are sorry to hear of the illness of Mr..
James A. Austin, of WayneshorO. but
hope that the danger apprehended by his
friends not well founded, and that he may
yet recover and be spared many years to
bless his family and the surrounding com
munity.
We are informed that Miss Letter Brown,
daughter of Mr.. G.. B. Brown, came near
losing her life by using chloroform instead
of camphor DIR. j p. Killian was called
in and rendered medical aid. She has
recovered from the effects of the choro-
form.
Mr. Dallas, of Georgia. is visiting
friends in Virginia. He recently paid a
visit to his sister, Mrs. l.. A. Hunter, of
this place.
Our merchants. Messrs. c. F. and J. D.
Balsley and l.. 0 Davis. seem to be doing
a thriving business. The bark business
has enlivened things around here generally.
Our Sun lay school is progressing favor
ably under the superintendency of G. F.
Balsley aud 6. I. Wald but it is not as
largely attended as it should be. Why is
1t that people are so careless about church
matters?
We have just had very heavy rain in
this section. We think it the heaviest rain
fall we have had this season. 1t was badly
needed.
What has become of Rover? He seems
to have taken his flight to other regions.
We suppose politics will soon wax warm
in this district, as we see that Harry
Tucker is out for Congress. Well, we
all love Harry and wish him well, but fear
he will have q hard road to travel under
the free trade policy Of the Democratic
platform. We say 'rah for Harry, but a
much louder rah for little Jake and pro-
tective tariff. PASsADO.

JAMES II. Q. CARTER,
Staunton, Va.
Wepublish the above as requested, and
refer to the subject briefly. for the reason
that to go into an elaboration of the ques-
ton it would take more space than we
have at our disposal. 1t requires but
thought to give the scope of the reasons
why the Republican party and its policy
are better for the country and all classes of
citizens. The condition of the nation up
to 1861 and at that time, under Democratic
administration for half a century, with
brief intermissicns, and the condition of
the country since that time, up to 1885.
present the results of the two policies.
Compare them and let each one judge for
himself which has contributed most largely
to the welfare of the people. Democratic
policy cannot be Judged by the past four
years. A Republican Senate has inter.
posed to arrest Democratic legislation, and
prevent changes in the laws which would
have worked harm to the country. The
Morrison tariff bill and the Mills tariff
bill directly assailed the Industrial system
of the nation. The first was defeated by
the aid of Democratic votes in the House.
The Mills bill will be defeated by Re-
publican Senate, so the rulnous effect of
it may not be realized. The eolored
people are intimately interested in the
Industrial progress of the nation, and
that cannot be secured under the Demo-
cratic policy of free trade or policy that
looks IN the direction of free trade, The
Democrats have not been able to change
any of the economic laws which relate TO
government, and consequently the full ef-
feet of Democratic policy cannot be
Judged, except by reference to the past
We know that the simple threat involved
in the Morrison and Mills bills, has af-
rected business very seriously. Were the
Democracy to have entire control of the
government, in its legislative and exeeu-
tive departments, and be thus enabled to
enact legislation to enforce It's theory of
revenue collections, the country we believe
would experience a business reYulsion
never before witnessed. Wehave no fear,
however, that the American people will
ever be guilty of the folly, aye, the crime,
Of striking down their industrial interests
destroying the source of American la
bor-to build up those Of foreign coun-
tries.
If our correspondent will take up the
thought we have presented. he will be
enabled to direct his mind into profita-
BILE channel of reflection, and form his own
conclusion as to whether Democratic or
Republican policy is best for the country.
