That elegant little carpet-bagger, Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, is about 10 retire
from the throne Of ;nat unfortunate
country, marked with the imprint Of a
kick from the "powers" as well as the
Gar. With liberty and a constitution
the Bulgarians have been compelled TO
pay for the expensive machinery of a
court, a parliament, a diplomatic estab'
lishment, war taxes and the support OF
an immense army, TO say nothing OF
enormous subsidies to the carpet. bag
rulers that have held brief tenure at Bu-
charest.
The country was better of under the
Sultan, who was too lazy 10 understand
how much taxes could be made out OF
the Bulgars, and gave them an easy life
compared with what they have under a
pretense OF a freer government.

II is a curious thing, that demand OF
the Womans' Christian Temperance AS
ISOLATION for free whisky.
What can Christianity and temperance
as understood by women, have to do with
giving better opportunities for bibulous
dissipation and at lower rates. The re-
verse of free whisky is to charge a high
license and put liquor under such restric'
tons that there will be one tenth the
number of bar.rooms and a sort of high
priced responsibility given to the liquoJ
trade that would break up dives" and
"gin mills" and stop the flow of poison
in bad liquor.

ROSS CHANDLER.

Mr.. w. Z. Chandler Of the Senate,
formerly job boss Of the Navy Depart

"side partner Of Roach, has succeeded
In getting through the Senate his bill for

Chandler got the credit with his party for
having stolen for Hayes, and i n connec-
ton with the greatest political crime OF
the country, Chandler got the favor OF
his party and went into the Cabinet.

typical Republican, believing in central

ism. ignoring the rights of the States,

power TO allow them, and making the
rebellion" a standing and lurid legend
wherewith to stamp damnation on all
Democrats and glorify the Republican
statesman, who did not go TO war, but
like Blaine, left the bones Of a substitute
bleaching on the field of Gettysburg.
"Claim everything" was another name
given to Mr.. Chandler, because he claimed
for himself the honor, from the Repub-
lican party's standpoint, of sending that
burning telegram ont that organized the
Infamous conspiracy that stole the presi-
dency.
Now Mr.. Chandler wants 10 claim
everything" by organizing a star cham
Der, arbitrary supervision of elections,
not i in the States generally but in those
that he stole and wants TO steal again.
Boss Chandler is among those magma
tive Republicans who thinks that his
party can get back into power after COM
hitting suicide by impaling itself on its
own corruption. And he and others,
Sherman and Blaine, think that the great
tide that swept them away was an acct
dent, as they call it, and they cling to a
raft made of old logs, believing that they
can recapture the presidency.
If there ever was anything written on
the political map in hard lines it is the
victory of the peoples party after
twenty-five years Of defeat, not by the
wisdom of leaders, but simply because
it was the Democratic party.
Messrs. Chandler, Sherman, Blaine *
Co. think that they can doctor elections
in the South, and that the cry of rebel
flag and bulldozing of negroes can help
them 10 power.
Why, all these things failed when they

The report tells us that "the authorities
are powerless, and the war will doubtless
be waged until one side OF the other is
completely exterminated." The Ken.
lucky authorities must be model officials.
If they are really powerless TO stop riot,
arson, and murder, the best thing the
people of the State can do is 10 take the
matter into their OWE hands, and do like

August 80, 1888.
Your correspondent has recently re-
turned from trip to the southwestern
part Of the State, and | was struck with
wonder why any of our young people
should be seeking homes in other States
when this part of Virginia has the pro-
mise of being the finest country, as it is
now the healthiest, to be found any
where. Everything and everybody looks
ike business. The neat and well-tilled
fields show the work of industrious and
thrifty farmers, while the cities and
towns are marvels of enterprise, neat
ness, and beauty.
l was particularly pleased with the lit
tie town of Radford, on the Norfolk and
Western railroad. This place seems to
be entirely new, and is surrounded by
the most beautiful land and scenery to
be found anywhere, and its inhabitants
seem 10 be OF that class to be found only
in live, go-ahead kind of place. There
are two lovely hotels there, and the bust
ness-houses and private residences are
both tasty and well arranged. Passing
on into West Virginia the first thing to
remind me that had passed the limits
of the Old Dominion was to see a pedlar
board the train bearing his burdensome
pack, and it made me grateful to our
law makers for having banished these
nuisances from our midst.
There is to be political speaking at
New Canton to-day by Mr.. Tucker and
others. II seems to be matter OF doubt
as to who Will be the Republican candi-
date in this district.
The published report that the young
man who was killed by lightning near
this place few weeks ago was playing
the violin on Sunday (the time he was
killed. was not true.
Most OF our people contemplate a trip
to the Exposition, though it is feared
lodging will be difficult to get. Ii Presi-

About Those Resolutions and Dele

SrAUNToN, August 90, 1888.

SrAUNToN, August 30, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In your paper of the 2Sth appears a
resolution which, it is claimed, was
passed by meeting OF the Republicans
of Stanton, which says:
"And we further sincerely regret the
large opposition to his denomination for
Congress in this his own county and
city"
il Is desired simply to state the facts,
and both you and your readers can
draw your own conclusions. The Re
publican district meetings were called
by W. Z. Craig, county chairman, for the
county, Saturday, August 25th, 3 7. M.
These meetings were held with the fol
lowing results:
Pastures District-Three delegates
all Yost men.
Beverly Blanor-Fiye delegates in
structed for Yost.
yerheads-Fiye delegates instruct
cd for Yost.
South River-Four delegates; two for
Yost, two unpledged.
North River-Four delegates all
Yost men.
Middle River-Four delegates in-
siructed for Yosf.
The meeting for Staunton was called
by the same chairman for 6:30P. NJ, Au-
gust 9th.
The meeting, numbering from 100 to
$50 Republican voters, was called to
order at the appointed hour by the
county chairman.
Resolutions were offered endorsing
Hon. Jacob Yost aud instructing dele
gates. w. Z. Craig, county chairman,
wished to go as delegate uninstructed,
towhich the meeting was decidedly OPP
posed.
One Of Craig's friends moved to adj
journ, which was put and lost, as stated
by the chairman Craig and his
friends then left, declaring the mo-
ton to adjourn carried. They
took with them about 20, including
some Democrats. The proceedings pub
lished by you were enacted by the parties
leaving the regular Republican meeting
Saturday night, and consisted of not
more than Is or Is Republican voters.
In the spring election the Republican
vote was $40. There were present Sat
urday night at least l25 voters and at
the Monday night meeting Is voters.
