NJ. McIlhany, on behalf Of the Y. M. e..

and report to an adjourned meeting to be
held the following evening.
On Wednesday night the Councils
committees, through Mr.. R. P. Bell. re-

Our Military,

The committees appointed by the Stone
wall Brigade Band and Jackson Rifles had
a Joint conference Wednesday evening
last. The object of the meeting was to
secure if possible, a full attendance of the
two organizations represented at the I'M
yelling of the monument to the Confeder-
ate dead, on Sept. 25th. The military and
band will contribute most largely to the
success of that occasion, and IN order that
the members of both may attend in full,
it was decided to prepare petition for
circulation among the merchants and EN-.
ployers of the men. asking suspension OF
business for a few hours on that day.
Companies of infantry and bands from
the Valley and elsewhere are expected.
So it is of much Importance that our own
companies should be able to give them a
hearty reception and with full ranks. The
petition will soon be presented for sigma
lures and we hope our merchants will
consider it favorably, or some other means
by which its objects may be attained.

Gorton's Ministries.

Gorton's original New Orleans Min
strels, an organization of merit, which is
we'll and favorably known in Stanton,
will give one performance at the Opera
House on Tuesday evening, September
18th. This company is not as large in
point of number as some minstrel shows
we get here, but they have earned an en-
viable reputation for artistic and refined
work that some of the larger companies
do not enjoy. We take the following
complimentary notice from the Cincin :
natl Commercial:
Minstrelsy is a favorite amusement with the
theater-goers of this city, and, as expected,
Rcbinson's Opera House was packed to the
doors last night to welcome the New Orleans
Ministries. The reception accorded to them
must have been most gratifying. This COM
pany does not boast of forty performers, but
. every member composing the troupe is an ar
| fist of real merit, prominent among whom
may he mentioned Mr. Hank Goodman, a
comedian and end man, who has filled the
same position with the best minstrel compa-
MES in America.

A Tribute to a Staunton Military
Company.

We have received the following commu
nication from Capt. J. A. Mutton. 1t
explains itself and our citizens will be
proud of the Staunton Artillery after
reading it, and especially so as the Captain
has the reputation among soldiers of being
most rigid and exacting officer in the
matter of discipline.
To the Editor of the StGunton Vi'adicator:
My Dear Sir:-I feel it duty incumbent
upon me in every instance TO make report of
the troops under my command at our annual
eucampments, and at our encampment at
Island Park this year, it was my pride and
pleasure to have under my command Battery
(Staunton Artillery, under command of
Capt. J. A. Shewey, with Lieuts. O'Rork,
Blackburn and Lushbaugh, with % neil. Let
me say through you to the good people of
Staunton that my experience in var and peace
as soldier has been extended, but never in my
life have met more obedient and soldierly
set of officers and men than Battery G; hale,
hearty, brawny fellows, just such fellows as a
nation requires to make true soldiers, 1t
would be unfair in me to single out any one
for special mention-all did their duty
and reflected great credit on Staunton, and her
people should give them their support and
aid. am only too proud to give credit where
credit is SO justly due.
Yours Respectfully,
J. A. MUTTON.

Political Notes of Local interest,

Speaker Carlisle missed the train Sun
day night and did not reach Lexington to
speak Monday. The rain poured on that
town heavily all day, but did not prevent
the Courthouse being filled to hear Hon.
John T. Harris of Rockingham, District
Elector Poore of Appomattox, and Hon. J.
r. Tucker. who spoke. Judge Harris got
off good thing, which was soon going
the rounds on the streets. He said Cleve-
land looked to him ''like one of those old
Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of the Valley,
foreordained to serve second term" 1t
took the house. Mr.. Tucker read tele-
gram from Mr.. Carlisle. promising to
speak in Lexington at some future day,
and Mr.. Tucker informed the VINDICA
TOR 3 reporter, who had gone there to re-
port Carlisle, that Stanton would have
the pleasure Of hearing the Speaker before
many days, as we'll as Lexington.
Mr.. Geo. S. Brown of Providence, r. L.,
made one of the best speeches before the
Staunton Democratic Workingmen's Club.
Monday night, that has been made in this
campaign. 1t was not thirty minutes long,
and yet had more information on the
tariff and its effect on wages, strikingly
presented, than Is often heard in two
hours speech. The speakers manner was
admirable. He was followed by Capt.
James Bumgardner. Jr., in brief speech.
Hon. James W. Marshall of Craig coun-
ty, who takes the place of John A. Bucha-
nan on the Virginia electoral ticket, 1.-THE
latter being nominated for congress). Is a
native of Augusta county.
In the House, Friday, Hon. Jacob Yost
addressed an inquiry to Hon. Geo. ID.
Wise, as to the intent of some language
used by him in his reply the other day to
his (Mr. Y .'s) speech. Mr.. Wise disclaim.
ed any intention of rejecting personally
on Mr.. Yost, and the matter ended.
The new Democratic City Committee
met on Monday evening, Capt. Jas. Bum
gardner, Jr.. presiding, and W. T. McCue,
Secretary, for the purpose of permanent
organization. The organization was effect
ed by the election of W. H. H. Lynn,
Chairman, and e. K. Hoge, Secretary.
Mr.. Lynn is a happy choice for the posi-
ton. for we know of no one better quail
fed by experience in city campaigns, or
who has reduced organization to system
so effective.
H. st. Geo. Tucker spoke at Clifton
Forge Wednesday night. to an enthusia s.
tic audience.
The Democrats of Fishersville will or
ganjze their campaign club tonight. They
will be addressed by Mr.. Geo. S. Ligbtnel
