CHAIRMAN BARBECUE.

| Whether Mr.. Barbour retires or no
we are confident Of having a good
chairman, and his spirit is marching
on"
In his address to-day he may not be
an orator. but it will have the common
sense that hits.
He will doubtless revive the great
career Of the party since 1883, when in

in fair fight we drove the enemy from
the field, horse. foot and Dragons
taking all their standards and equipage,
and leaving them no -allyirg point but
their vain attempts 10 lie out Of tbe
result.
Inc able chairman will doubtless
remind Us that the losses in some cam
paigns will turn out to be due to causes
that can be corrected, and he may refer
TO the capture Of Jhe Fourth district by
the gallant young Neuable as an IN
stance Of the impetus Of our progress
If there was falling of in any districts.

Of the Congressional maiorities, with
eight out of ten Representatives and
two Senators.
All personal ambition should be for

the coming contest.
General Malone is mastering hi
forces, aud hopes with the backing O
the National Committee, a high tarl
and perhaps some influence from h,s
new reversed position ON the State deb,
to divide our party.

Of course, adhere to the position OF T.
1853, known as the Riddlebcrger bill.
The color line has been drawn by
our opponents, and the white people
have been forced to accept it as the
political line Of battle.
Virginia has given over four million,
