The Republican candidate for Governor
of Virginia, says the Lynchburg News, de
lberately declared in the United States
Senate that the Riddleberger bill was not
only an honorable and equitable adjustment
of this States indebtedness, but that it
"taxed her people to an extent threatening
the destruction of her industrial interests"
Now, however, General Malone, in order
to raise corruption fund from the foreign
bondholders, proposes to give the creditors
better terms. Mr.. D. S. Lewis, Republi-
can, wrote from Norfolk to his paper, the
Spirit Of the VoUey, as follows
"They also banked high upon the fact
that he would have all the money necessary
to make a successful campaign, saying that
the bondholders, in order to get the debt
settled upon better terms than offered by
the Riddleberger bill, would furnish large
sums of money"

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is

it is entirely closed, deafness is the result,
aud unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and the tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
