Republican Conference.

The result of the election on the 9TH
demonstrates that large portion of the
rejecting members of the party are not
willing longer to recognize the preten-
sions of Gen. Malone, and will not serve
under his arbitrary rule In view of the
declared sentiment as recorded at the
polls. it is essentially necessary that
there should be, at as early a day as
practicable, general conference called
in Richmond, TO determine on and fol-
mulate a plan for future action.
We therefore suggest to Gen. Groner
that he issue a call for general confer
ence at such time and place, as may APP
pear to him best, after comforting with
other Republicans in convenient dis
lance from him. The earlier the
better, and it is important that full,
free, and. intelligent exchange of opin-
ions be had. The interests of the party
in Virginia and in the nation demand
this, and it is for this reason that we
make this public suggestion.

The Colored "Kickers.

1t is the common impression that the
colored voters of Virginia have a ring in
their noses and are led by party bosses
as sheep to the slaughter. The election
on Tuesday dispelled this delusion. They
demonstrated that they are citizens of
the State, who feel an interest in the
welfare of the Commonwealth, and that
they have the courage to break away
from party association when the Com
monwealth is in peril. All over the
State such characters are found, and it
is to their grit and moral courage
that much of the credit is due for the
overwhelming defeat of Malone. They
deserve the thanks Of all good citizens
for the part they took in etfecting the
result. When the pressure that was
brought to bear upon them; the tempta-
tions to which they were subjected, and
the natural affection they feel for the
the Republican name are considered, the
courage and patriotism Of these voters
may be. ia a degree, understood.
We have never seen IN any election

county than was displayed on last Tues
day 1t was so. no doubt. in other por-
lions of the State, and gives a new and
impressive phase to the colored mans
relation to politics 1t shows that many
of them cannot be lead by designing
demagoglles, regardless of the interests
involved, and that they can be trusted
when supreme issue arises involving
the welfare of the commonwealth. We
win have less of the ''niggern party here
after. This result challenges the admira-
ton of fair minded men everywhere, and
will entitle them to consideration
which has not heretofore been accorded
them from their political opponents.

Six Killed, Eleven wounded.

Six men killed and eleven wounded is
the result of the two volleys from the
Law and Order party into the Wilson
Howard gang of outlaws last Tuesday
/ in Kentucky.
The terrible fire was poured out from
an ambuscade, and the surprise was so
overwhelming that the outlaw leader
and the remnants of band of thirty or
thirty-fve, broke and fled in wild con
/ fusion without attempting to return the
fire.
The attack took place close on the
Virginia border, on the side of Cumber-
land Mountain, overlooking Martins
Fork. 1t is wild, lonely place, remote
from railroads or telegraph lines, and
the particulars of the ambuscade did not
reach Louisville until to-day. Wilson

named Langford, who is called the
Moonshine King. :" They did not
dream of pursuit, but Judge Lewis and
his posse followed hard upon their
tracks. When they got into the valley
of Martins Fork, they captured moon

conduct the way to the outlaws camp
They had marched about three miles
further when another mOuntaineer
whom they met informed them that
Howard and his men were coming that
way. The posse concealed themselves
in a cave about seyenty-fve yards dis
tant and awaited the desperadoes' ar
rival. When they came up the fatal
yolleys were fred and abandoning dead

men fed across the Virginia line.
The names OF all the dead have not
been learned here. but three of them
were brothers and were named Dali
The wounded m.n were taken to the
camp of railroad laborers and were given
the best attention possible. After the
successful fray Judge Lewis and his
party returned Immediately to Harlan
Courthouse, which they reached without
the loss of man.
The outlaws collected their scattered
forces again and have been recruited by
Virginia moonshiners, but it is not be-
lieved they will dare to risk. another
fight. Judge Lewis swears that he will
break up the gang yet.

To Campaign Subscribers.

We send out the VIRGINIAN this week
to thousands of campaign subscribers,
whose names will be stricken from the
listtafter this issue unless otherwise di-
rected. We should be pleased to have
authority from each and all of them to
continue them as regular subscribers.
Many who have read the VIRGINIAN
during this campaign have not heI eto
fore been patrons of the paper. The
eepinterest felt in the progress of the
campaign, gave the EIRGINIAN an I'M
pre- cedented circulation, surprising that
ever before achieved by any weekly
paper published in the State. We would
be pleased to continue as many as may
feel~inclined to instruct us to do so.
While the VIRGINIAN is Republican

any faction. 1t believes in the principles
of the Republican party, and will sup
port its organization whenever that or

the party or the organization except as
he may crafty low ambition through
them. We believe in party discipline
but thesobject of discipline must be con
sistent with the primary purposes of
party, the welfare of the State and
country When the aim is less than
this, then discipline becomes disrep-
utable means to a still more disreputable
end. Bosses and despots must learn
that the people have some rights which
they dare assert and maintain even at
the expense of discipline and organiza-
ton, and will use all legitimate argument
as we'll as the ballot, to proclaim their
manhood and their convictions. There
must be higher plane for party action
than has been recently observed there
must be purer methods invoked; and
more salutary ends to work for; else
parties as organized will become a stencil
in the nostrils of the people and be re-
pudiated and destroyed.
The VIRGINIAN cannot and will not
be sweryed from what it believes to be a
duty to the people. 1t will maintain
the right as it sees it, and when organi-

Death Of Judge II. G. Allen.

Judge Henry G. Allen, of Shenandoah
county. died in Roanoke on the 31st ult
very Unexpectedly. He was filling APP
pointments assigned him by the Demo
cratic State Committee, and was on his
way to Radford, when taken i'll in Roam
oke. His appointment had to be can
celled, but it was thought his indisposi-
ton was only temporary, and would
soon pass away. On Thursday, how
ever, brain trouble was manifested, and
Thursday evening he died from conges-
ton of the brain. No one of his family
except a brother-in-law, was present.
His remains were taken to Woodstock on
Friday for interment.
Judge Allen was a son of J. J. Allen,
at one time president of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia. He was
born in Botetourt where his father and
IN other and other members of the family
are buried.
Judge II. G. Allen was one of the pur-
est and ablest men in the State. His
fidelity to convictions. his frankness and
(
manly bearing in controversy, inspired
the confidence of both friend and foe, and
won for him the esteem of all fair-minded
people, whether of one party or the
other In politics he was honest and
straightforward, as a lawyer he was able
and learned, and us a citizen without
reproach. He had represented his county
in the Legislature, and was speaker of
that body for one term. He was elected
and served as Judge of his county, and
served four years as u. s. District AT
torney for the Western District of Vir-
gina, under President Cleveland's adj
lninistration. During his entire term in
this Office he discharged its duties with
ability and fidelity, and with an eye sim
gle to the interests of the government
and the rights of the people. He was
too broad minded and lnagnanimous to
stoop to little things and too honorable
and brave to use power except for the
purpose it was granted.
We knew Judge Allen well. Although
politically opposed to him, we numbered
him among our warm friends, and APP
preciated his sincerity, his integrity and
his manly bearing in all things. His
whole nature was at war with dissimu-
lation, cant, hypocrisy and malice. His
manhood was robust, his friendship true,
and his life an eXemplitication of that
higher type of humanity which reached
above the petty passions and envies of
too many of our public men.
His death is a loss to the State, and
takes from the theatre of public action
a devoted son of the Commonwealth and
conspicuous and useful character in
all the relations of public and private
life.

SoUED TALK.

The Lyon County Times has the
following:
"For the past six months or
more, every newspaper and almost
every citizen OF this State has been
bowling about the scarcity OF water
and advocating all kinds of meas
ures to obtain water for the purpose
of milling and irrigating. The at
tention of the Legislature was
called to this matter in thunder
tones, and the true method of saw
ing water was agreed by all to be
by the damuing of the Carson
river. Now, bill has passed tie
Legislature appropriating 500, 900
for the purpose Of building a reser-
yoir at the haad-vaters of the Car
son, and because the money is to be
borrowed from the school fund, the
same persons who were bowling for
water legislation are swearing that
there is big steal in the measure
somewhere, and are insinuating
that there IS something wrong about
the appointment OF the Water Com
misioners, for the reason that they
are members of the Legislature.
We would ask some of these wise
acres where they would obtain the
money for building the dam that 4
few weeks ago they wanted so
badly"
The above has the tue ring.
There is a certain class CT old, moss
backed siluriaHs in this State who
object to any public improvement,
and they never see an appropria-
ton of any kind made that they DO
not begin to smell steal in it. 1t
is these people who clog the wheels
of progress year after year and
keep the State worse than at q
standstill.
1t is high time that we began
here to separate the old. selfish,
thick-headed sllurians from the
progressive people, and see that
they flock by themselves.
In spite of all the mean insinua-
tons and work OF obstruction by
these GROWERS, the work of storing
water in the Carson will begin
soon, and nothing shall hinder it.
There is a class of people on
deck now who propose to pull this
State out of the slough, and oppo-
sition won't count.

More Rain.

Yesterday gave the country an
other series OF soft, drizzliDg show
ers, which were all that the most
fault-fnding rancher could ask for.
Emery, the stage man, says that
the quality OF the snow is the best
he ever saw at the Summit. 1t
came down very soft and wet,
packed hard and then froze. 1t is
now as hard as ice, almost, and
will melt away gradually, just as it
is wanted next Summer.
1t has been showing now for a
week at the Summit, and piling up
wealth every day.
This is the best grain weather
that the country ever saw, and IN
der the cloudy, drilling days and
light showers the grain grows SO
fast that it keeps a man awake
nights if his house is near a wheat
field.
There is no let-up to the bless
ings that Providence is showering
upon this favored locality this year.
"God helps those who help them
selves" is an old adage, and doubt
less the ruler of the universe saw
that Nevada was in earnest when it
passed the 100000 appropriation
bill for water storage, and conclud-
ed that we were wide awake enough
to appreciate a good thing when we
got it.
