STRAINING FOR A REASON.

At the Skating Rink, Monday night, Hon.
J. G. Burrows felt it obligatory to explain
why. in purely State election, man from
Michigan should come down to interfere in
Virginia. He said that at this election some
State Senators would be elected. Those
State Senators would hold over till, and
participate in, the election of a q. S. Sena-
tor from Virginia. That U. S. Senator
would have a vote on the Tariff, and the
Tariff was a National question affecting
Michigan as much as Virginia! That is
nearly equal to the old lady who suddenly
burst into tears while walking by mill
pond. Her .astonished husband inquired
the reason. She replied that they had a
daughter who might marry; might have
children, and some of the children might be
going by this mill pond, fall in and be
drowned.
Mr.. Burrows might have found a reason
much nearer. He should have said that
Julius Caesar Burrows is a candidate for
Speaker of the House. That Gen. Malone
might have influence with the two Repub-
lican votes from Virginia and several more
from North Carolina, and that might re-
suit in Julius Caesar Burrows being nomi-
mated for Speaker Of the House of Represen-
tatives. And that, we suspect, is about
all there is in this Southern campaign of
Julius Caesar.

that they should not oppose me because of my
being negro, and for that reason only. They
said they could come to no agreement then

TWO TELEGRAMS.
Prof. LangStOn received the following dis
patch from J. York Harris last night, dated
Petersburg, Va:
"Haye any arrangements been made between
you and the State Committee as to when you
are to commence canvassing Virginia."
To this Prof LangStOn sent tbs following
reply:
''No arrangements made. demanded inyi-
tation with assurances that Malone cease his
opposition to me on account of my color as re-
CARDS my seat in Congress. Committee would
not accept my conditions. ! shall stand by

ASSAILING "MAHONE. y

Much stress and protest is laid by his
friends upon the assailing of Malone during
this campaign. They raise the cry of per-
secution. 1t is a mistake. 1t is not Ma
hone, but his methods which are under fire.
His name is used for the sake OF brevity in
designating them, and with no chance OF
making a mistake, for no other political
leader in the State has ever used similar. If
the same record had been made by John S.
Barbour, it would be called Barbourism for
short. Gen. Mahone's name is associated
with his methods pretty much as that of a
patentee is with his patent. The man only
came into view in the political field of 1889
astride of his methods. ENDORSED from
them, he would not be named in Virginia
politics. He does not, outside of them,
carry anylreason that should cause him to be
named Gen. Malone, separated from Ma
honeism in party management, would not
attract the fire Of the bitterest Democratic
journal in the most secluded crossroads of
the State,

Without a Price.

"Quay and Clarkson can never buy Virginia
with Northern gold '-TaUey Tirgtnian.
Shall they bind her in the market, our
Mother? Shall the gold
OF the alien buy the honor that was never
bought nor sold?
Are all dead who flashed about her form the
patriot swords of old p
The hireling and invader, the Judas who
betrayed her.
Shall these find the strong arms weary and
the fervid hearts grown cold?
Our Beautiful They smot5 her in the lurid
years gone by;
The Hessian steel went to her soul to drain
her life blood dry,
And they hailed the red stream, gushing, with
a fierce exultant cry
The haters who beled her, the false tongues
that decred her,
But they could not touch her honor, and she
did not fall to die
once again.
They seek to buy the virtue that their
bayonets have not slain,
The trickSter with his Northern gold, the
pander for his gain
But her leal sons throng about her; the
world shall never doubt her
And they cannot win Virginia They fetch
their brides in vain
Lift high thy head, Virginia Thy peerless
crest lift high.
With honor's ensign in thy cheek, her watch
fires in thine eye!
The Hessan hordes that gather in, thy loyal
sons defy.
We hail thee for our Mother We yield
unto none other
That heart of Freedom in thy breast their
gold can never buy

AUGUSTA COUNTY.
FOR THE SENATE,
EDWARD ECHOLS.
ANOTHER WORD OF WARNING

ANOIHER WORD OF WARNING.
Those in Augusta and Re-
publicans-who are opposing Malone S
election, should take yet another warning
from the meeting last Monday at the Skat-
ing Rink.
They should learn from that meeting, that
in order to have gathered it together, the
Malone machine must be in good working
order, and those running it be active.
They should learn from the number of
strange black faces seen there, to watch the
Registration vigilantly.
They should further learn that close,
active precinct work must be commenced
at once and continued till election day, in
order to bring out every Democrat and
offset the large black vote that is certain
to be polled.
From Mondays exhibition, the evidence
is incontestable, that while Malone S white
vote in Augusta may be diminished, his
black vote will be materially increased.
Great responsibility rests on the Precinct
Chairmen of Augusta during the next three
weeks.

A DLSCREDITED TEACHER.

According his own confession, the Hon.
J. C. Burrows of Michigan, is an enemy of
his country and animated by personal in
terest-a sorry character for a man who vol
unteers to teach the people of another State,
from the hustings, how to manage their af-
fairs. Inhis speech at the Skating Rink Mon
day he said: 81 see that the Democratic
press of this State are saying that at some
time in the past said something OF other.
/ could have posted them even better than
that-for twenty-five years ago [ invaded
the sacred soil of the State. l came in the
Union army and [ found Gen. Malone on
the other SIDE The man and the press who
seek to revive the a1itagofiism of the sec
tions are the greatest enemies of the coun-
try and when you find men doing these
things it is to advance their personal inter
ests." Very true, now let us look at the
record made by MI. Burrows himself i'll
the Forty third Congress, long after the
war was over. He advocated the passage
of the infamous Force Bill which the Re
publicans attempted to get through that
Congress, and which Saml J. Randall, lead.
ing the Democrats, defeated. MI. Bur-
rows speech will be found on page 1872 of
the Congressional Record. He said:
"Wrongs the most cruel, ostracism the most
malignant, crimes the most revolving, revo-
buttons the most unprovoked, conspiracies the
most monstrous, prosecutions the most relent-
less, riots the most bloody, and murder the
most foul have characterized this era of
southern repentance and returning loyalty
There is revival of the antagonism of
the sections" worthy of ''the greatest enc
my of the country" and was made by MI.
Burrows to advance his own personal in
terest'' with his bloody-shirt constituency
in Michigan.

We wonder if the white men who were
applauding j. G. Burrows of Michigan al
the Skating Rink Monday, knew of his
record made in the 43d congress on mixed
schools. He favored the Civil Rights bill
except in one thing-it provided for sepa-
rate schools for white and colored children.
In his speech on the subject, to be found
on page ,001 of the Congressional Record.
he said
Mr. Speaker, now desire to call the at
tention of the House to that proviso of the
bill which allows the separate establishment
of schools where the local authorities shall 50
determine. In no event can I gioe this prociso
msy support"
How many of the white men who were
applaudlng him Monday, would like to see
their children in mixed school?

A SIDE SHOW TO THE MA HONE.
(IR(ITS

Wednesday night Judge Wheeler of New
Jersey, opened out at the Skating Rink with
anilluminated free lecture on ''Protection. y
He used a stereopticon and varied the per-
Torrance with pictures of prominent people,
federate uniform and one later. One as
founding argument that he used was that
free trade ruined the wool industry by
making wool cheap, and ruined the people
by making clothing h5gh.' Like all circus
side shows it was regular political flake .

State from which came Hon. MI. Allen
who conceded at Harrisonburg in the can

MoHuty, MISUNDERSTANDING pouring ram,
was a busy day for politicians in Staunton.
On Saturday evening ex-senator Riddle
berger had arrived and taken quarters at
the Virginia Hotel. A large number of
anti-Mahone Republicans and prominent
Democrats took the opportunity to pay
their respects to him then and during the
following Sabbath. There was quite a
levee in the ex-senator S room. On Sunday
evening about 5 clock, the time ex-senator
Malone was expected to arrive by the G.
u o., his adherents commenced gathering
at the Virginia Hotel, the sidewalk being
well covered by the colored contingent. He
did not get here, however, till o clock the
next morning. From the time he awoke,
Skating Rink to speak, his room was crowd
ed with his adherents, among whom were
many who wanted to see him "on business, -
the business being some postmasterships
in the adjoining counties. The Rocking
ham delegation had come about 100 strong
with brass band, and that band and the
National colored band of Staunton made
the all lively with music. All over the
city, even in the front yards of the private
residences, were thrown japanese pocket
handkerchiefs of paper, having printed in
the centre a likeness of Malone. Though
the day had opened lowering, the Negroes
from the country were on hand by sunrise,
and by II O'Clock they were as thick on the
sidewalks as on circus days. Many Of them
had never seen Staunton before, and it was
believed that West Virginia was well rep
resented in the throng.
