The sensation cau-ed by the newsmongcrs
# the WnrH aud the HraH, and which is
calculated o. produce Generalization
among some who have looked 20 Mr.. BAR
sorL during so many hard-fought fights.
Mr.. BAErouH is confident. and his conf
dencc has iu IL inspiration that none could
fail 10 catch. We share ms confidence, yet
We would say tothc Democracyo of Virginia
chat confidence never carried an election.
Work and l,1al organization are the only
factors that are absolute guarantees of
triumph. This Is the most desperate fight
that MALONE has ever made. His own
political hopes AID the hopes Of
the whole malignant combination against
Virginia and the rest OF the South as re-
CARDS breaking the solid South are staked
upon the result Of November the 9Th. He,
MALONE. is backed hy the Administration
and a oo'0-e of South-haters that have no
conscience and hold that anything IS justi-
fable in law and III morals that VIII
defeat the Democracy, and he can
command unlimited DOODLE Tho duty,
therefore of the Democrats IN every
city. county, town. village, and hamlet IS
to contribute Of their time and means to
have the party sohdly organized on the day
al election as regards every detail and
every locality. What MALONE and the
northern political Cloths and Vandals
would bring upon the South should
the little tyrant succeed IN having
himself elected Governor Of Virginia Is
foreshadowed in the arrest Of the Charlotte
county Judges Of election. Remember that,
Virginians. and while drawing inspiration
from Mr. BAEBouR's confidence make con-
fdence a patriotic realization by seeing
that every Democratic voter Is at the polls
to-day week.
