Getting in His Work.

Judge Jno. T. Harris has not been
hunting after delegates to the Guberna-
torial Convention with brass band. He
has been quietly mixing with the peo-
pie in his old fashion way, antagonizing
no aspirant and making no enemies.
The result is he swept Augusta will
carry Rockbridge, and if we are are
properly informed, will have a majority
of the delegates in Rockingham, Shen-
andoah and Page, with scattering votes
from other sections of the State. If he
goes into the Convention with such a
home endorsement as the. result in Au-
gusia seems to indicate, it will be a
strong tip in his favor, after the compli-
mentary ballots have been taken. Long
John knows a thing or two and has a
way of getting there" when it is least
looked for.

Gen. Mahone's Speech.

The brief synopsis we publish elsewhere
of the speech delivered at the Petersburg
selected audience of Republicans by Gen.
Malone, reveals one significant fact, if
nothing else. 1t clearly states the impor-
tant interests which are at stake in the
approaching State election, and pub
fishes to the world that he knows what is
expected Of the Republican party should
it succeed in the contest. His clear
mind comprehends the situation in this
respect, and groups the salient points at
issue SO perspicuously and forcefully,
that it leaves one in wonder that he
should manifest temper that if per
mitted to enter into the canvass would
defeat the paramount objects he declares
should be considered and are certainly
involved. Certainly, if sincerely i'm
pressed with the magnitude of the in
terests at stake, he should have the bal
ance and courage to ignore merely per-
sonal and non-essential matters and seek
to bring together all who have been
identified with the Republican party,
instead of repelling them by epithets
and denunciation, as well as those who
may be influenced by considerations OF
State progress and prosperity to forsake
the Dem ocratic name and join in with
the Republicans. What are these minor
interests, in comparison with the greater
matters which he brings to the front in
his remarks? What justification can he
or his friends have for imperilling the
material welfare of the State, disrupting
the Republican party and inviting de-
feat, in the lesser and mere personal
features which seem to exercise domi-
mating influence. No one questions Gen
Mahone's ability, and that very admis-
sion carries with it responsibility for re-
suits, from which he cannot escape. If
he allows an Unsuitable thirst for power
and an ignoble ambition to command
recognition to crafty personal spites,
and thus jeopardize greater and more
essential interests, he will be exposed to
censure that will be justified in the eyes
of all impartial men.
His assumptions in regard to lesser and
more directly personal matters, in his
speech, opens up pregnant field of con-
troversy, which it would be neither
profitable nor wise to enlarge upon at
this time. We hope there will be no oc-
casion hereafter to do so and that better
counsels and more catholic spirit will
prevail in the future references to the past
and present of the Republican party in
Virginia than have been manifested Of
late, by those who assume infallibility
for themselves and nothing but deprav-
ity and treachery for those who differ
with them

Deafness Can't Be Cured

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-

you have an imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
