KickerS.

There are those who make themselves
busy and voluminous, in denOuncing
what they call the Kickers," When we
n tar of men calling themselves Republi-
cans and at the same time berating and
abusing those whom they are pleased to
call kickers, we can measure instantly
tier proportions and the springs which
move them. They are merely hangers
on, dependent on some one else for any
recognition they may receive and hopeless
OF consideration because of the absence
O. both power and influence. Whatever
prominence they may have has resulted
from no independents manly action, but
from the degree of subserviency they are
only too willing to manifest. If left to
themselves they would soon slide into
merted obscurity or attr ct attention
only for the amount of meaningless noise
they could make. The real ''Kickers''
We're those who kicked out of the ma
tlonal organization and against the rule
laid down by the national committee last
fall. They kicked themselves outside
of the pale of the national organization
and found themselves kicking against
the pricks at Chicago. When they un-
dertake to stigmatize as ''Kickers'' those
who believe it requires something more
to constitute Republican than slavish
obedience, regardless of the right of the
question or interest involved, they as
sumo a role that requires heavier cal
lbre than they possess to dignity and
invest with power.
So far as we are concerned, and we
voice the determination of thousands of
others, we shall kick against anything
in politics, religion, or any other interest
that we believe to be wrong, and will
i'll that sense, glory in being kicker. :"
There is no man or set of men, no au-
which we owe allegiance at the sacrifice
or compromise of our self-respect. Par
ty is tolerable only when it is right and
authority can only command respect
when it is wisely. fairly and honestly
exercised. We entertain supreme CON
tempt for ingratitude, for treachery and
moral cowardice. whether they are found
in high or low estate. The VIRGINIAN
is its own master and its own monitor,
and will do it's own thinking and its
own talking, and that plainly when oc-
casion requires it. Indeed, we have
heard enough about ''kickers,'' in the
sense the term is used by those who
sneeze when their master takes snuff.
But if nothing else will satisfy we have
whole volume of literature on the sub
ject, carefully laid away, which can be
dressed up to make very interesting
reading for the public and entertaining
to those who care less about Republican
principles than they do about the spoils
of office, and more for self than they do
for the truth. There is such thing as
exhausting patience.

A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va.
dated July 18th, says; About midnight
last night, while G. b. Fulton, aged
twenty-one, and Miss Mary Ault, aged
eighteen, were driving across the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad track, six miles
west of Bellaire, they were struck by
the fast freight. The horse, road cart
and girl were thrown high in the air
Mr.. Fulton's dead body landed on the
pilot of the engine, and was not discov-
cred until the train reached Bellaire.
Miss Ault was found dead by the side of
the track. A younger brother of Mr.
Fulton had gone to the crossing to warn
them of the approach of the train, and
the horse fell on him, fatally injuring
him.

\. The indications point to the nomina-
ton of Phil Mckinney by the Demo
cratic Convention for Governor ON the
second ballot. If he does not get it
then it is possible a break may take
place and some one from the Valley TIA
ken up. Harris and O'Ferrall are the
only two openly announced candidates
from this section-Allen is dark horse.
In the Southwest Tyler is forging ahead,
but Mckinney leads in the delega ties al
ready elected. Should Mckinney fail, then
Harris will come in for a strong contin-
gent of his vote and if Beirne should
drop out then Harris nomination would
be more than probable. If this were inn
possible, then Harris friends would like
ly go to Allen and in that event he might
command strength enough for the nomi-
nation on the 5th or 9th ballot.
