"nf.ock PARTY ORGAN
I/ATIo>.

Twice the State Of Virginia has stem
med the tide Of Radical fury by th'
GOODNESS of the judgment of her leaders
and by the proper appeal 10 the people
But on these two notable occasions
once when Raleigh Daniel was char
man of the committee, and again whei
Barbour was chairman-the happy re
suit was reached by only one single
path. and that was a complete indi
vidual and aggregate muster OF th'
Democratic voters.
Given. all the patriotism and principe
and all the crying demand for defense'
against our enemy, still there Is lh'
imperative need for the roll of the party
by counties, precincts and small neigh
bOrhOOds.
The enthusiasm Of the Democratic
party is a sufficient motive to make th'
people muster, and we have before u'
the terrible issue of the boss OF
Radicalism who formed the Republican
party in the Democratic State OF Indiana
into blocks of five with a man &c
manage each little corpOrals guard
and bring it into action on election day
That was the organization that won the
great Democratic State of Indiana over
to the Republicans in 1883, and the tao
tics of that fight are now being drilled
into the crossroads, by captains, lieuten-
ants. sergeauts, and corporals of the
Malone party in every neighborhood
and county in the State of Virginia.
We explained on Sunday how the
alert Quay. with Boss Malone as field
marshal, was arranging for Virginia
the same sort of stroke in politics that
he played a; the pivotal point in New
NoIk on the morning of the Cleveland
Harrison election. 1t was a surprise.
and the Democrats were stampeded IN
their own STRONGHOLD and that Is just
what is being arranged in the Valley
and the Southwest.
1t Will be a quick stroke two or three
days before election, with Doodle gun.
double shotted, and if the Democrats
are not wary they will be gone before
they know it.
We do not find errors in our party
management without showing the
remedy.
The way Of safety and victory is to
do what the lessons of the past have
taught, viz to have every county or
ganized and every precinct chief pledged
10 get the vote out on election day.
If that is not done, we are nothing
more than militia fighting a regular
army. as we were in the Daniel-Cam-
eron contest. when with all the advan-
tages Of men and principles we were
beaten by superior discipline.

OUR TRADE WITH SOUTH AND CEN
TRIAL AMERICA.

TEAL AMERICA.
As illustrating the great importance
of forming the most intimate CONNER
cial relations with the Central and
South American States, whose repre-
sentatlves in the Pan American Con
yress at Washington have been so scan
dalously made to avoid our section, 1t
may be mentioned that its trade in 1883
amounted in the aggregate to the enor-
nous figures, II 200, 600. OF this
vast volume of business, which included
every form of manufacture and variety
Of natural production known to the
countries south of us, the Americans
obtained a share only to the extent Of
SAC. 0O0, 600, which seems highly insig-
nificant as compared with the residue,
which went TO swell the streams OF
European commerce.
So far in the history Of our CONNER
cial relations with these countries, the
balance Of trade has been largely against
US, and that it should be so is most dis
creditable TO American enterprise. Very
naturally, tho political sympathies of
South and Central America are with US.
We are the political example TO which
the best hopes of their most liberal and
progressive citizens aspire; but, unfor-
tunately for US, commercial union
does not follow in the wake Of political
sympathies.
In this special instance, this has been
due in part to our shortsighted com
mercia policy, and in part to the supe-
rior resolution and activity Of European
investors, whose operations began long
before We had attained to our present
greatness in trade. The aggregate
Spanisb. American and Brazilian secu
rites now held by European capitalists
amount to 1896. 000, 900 in railroad bonds
and shares, and To STA 100000 in the
stock Of miscellaneous companies.
Against the profound influence
which these vested interests must
exercise in the Southern Repub
lies, it will be most difficult for
Americans to contend, especially as
this influence will be more aud more
confirmed by the tide Of European inn
migration, which will be less disposed

cially than TO the countries from which
il flows.
\ The Congress in Washington must,

Try il for no other reason, because it
will tend TO unite in closer bonds all

fereDt their people in custom, race and

cort Of some half dozen deputy mar
shals. guagers. gougels, &c, with Son
Butler, Renegade D.ckerson, the Com
monweaith' attorney Of one 0t tns

last evening, taking rooms at Ircn. IS

Until late hour admission TO the

the little boss was busy arranging
with his lieutenants present from
Pittsylgania and Patrick counties for
tRelr share OF the offices after ne gels
control of the federal patronage. This
morning early the negroes and "a few
whites were gathered around his win
dOws and peepIng through the blinds.
all eager to see the rare specimen.
About II O'Clock Fillmore Brown, the
county chairman of their PARTY. an
nounced that General MahOne would
speak at Browns warehouse in thirty
minutes. The black cloud. though not
a very large one. moved off rapidly 10
"de various. whar veal can git to set
down. followed by a few of their
white allies and several hundred Demo
Gratis. who had never seen or heard the
little boss.
At u O'Clock he began to say his
piece, which was but a repetition of his
Abingdon speech, which lasted one
hour and forty minutes, and As "a
political speech, calculated TO enthuse
even the negroes. was dismal failure.
Three-fourths of his time was devoted
to the position Of the Republican party
on the tariff. and the rest 10 the Blair
bill and Mccullough debt settlement.
with which every cody was already IA
miliar Not a single State issue was
discussed, and about the only impress
sion made upon the crowd was the fact
that Billy wanted to be Governor OF
Virginia.
Next popped up little Mr.. DiCkerson,
who introduced himself by saying that
when last in Martinsyille he was here
as Democrat, and George &. Cabell
were then the apple of his eye but
irasmuch as Colonel Cabell had not
abolished the internal revenue or passed
the Blair bill he had quit him and
branching off into the most sky scrap
ing flights of grandiloquent magniti-
cence. undertook 10 tell how great and
how good man was General Malone;
but his poetical imaginations were far
above the comprehension of his listeners.
Pat. Mccall filed up the time with a
few of his stale anecdotes until the 3
O clock train arrived, bringing the Hon.
Mr. Burroughsall the way from Michi-
gan. who, it was announced was the
most thoroughly posted man on protec-
tive tariff in this or any other country.
and he had the pleasure of pretty well
clearing out the few remaining persons
present by telling them that in Michl-
gan his people had grown rich and
happy on high tariff, whilst in Virginia
they had become poor and miserable
on free trade.
Altogether there were some 1000
persons present including Democrats.
and counting the negroes whO composed
the bulk of the hearers.

THE main proposition before the In
ternational American Congress is the
following:
An agreement upon and recommen-
dation for adoption TO the respective
governments Of "a definite plan Of arbi-
tration of all questions of dispute and
differences that may now or hereafter
exist between them, to the end that all
difficulties and disputes between such
nations may be peaceably settled and
wars prevented"
Besides this, however, are six or
seven questions OF a mercantile nature,
uniform weights and measures, a Gus
toms union, and the question of easy
transportation.
