Editors of the Vdltey Vi1ginidr,
Dear SjrS Your reporter at HarrSOnburg on
last Monday Internationally misrepresentS me,
and am sure that he as well as yourselves will
desire a correction. He stated that had found
out since my Staunton speech, that the rich
mond & West Point Terminal Co. pays 1858 more
i'm taxes than stated they did in Staunton.
HAD no more information in regard to the Rich
mond & West Point Terminal Co., at Harrison
burg than had at StauntGn n. and if your repor-
tel. had heard all OF my remarks, he would have
seen Chat there was no difference in my state
nnentS. / found some time since that the Rich
mond & West Point Terminal Co. held $45 OOO 600
of stocks and bonds, for which they should have
paid the State of Virginia a tax OF $lS0OO0 in
1883 and finding from statement from the sec
Ond Auditor that there had been no increase
but a decrease in the revenue of the State
in the last two years, | made diligent en-
h ad paid on the stocks and bonds, and couL
find that they paid but $6.25. This stated at
Staunton and at Harrisonburg, and have chars=

Mr.. Tucker for the Democrats, followed in one

er concluded in fifteen minutes. Currys open
ing was a calm, dSpassionate discussion OF the
issues. He was listened to with intense interest
by both parties. Mr. fuckers reply was ex-
tremely partisan and consisted chiefly of abuse
of Malone. Curry, in his half hour reioinder,
completely demolished Tucker, and elected the
greatest enthusiasm, manifested i'll shouts OF p
plause. His arguments We're very effective.
Tucker in his conclusion, made a feeble effort,
and what he said appeared to have no effect, and
he certainly failed to meet any of Culfy'S ar
guments. our outlook is very encouraging.

We understand that Mr. s, Brown AL
len said in the Court House last Monday
that the Republicans of Rockbridge
would not read the VIRGINIAN nor al
low it TO come on their premises. He
also stated as it was communicated to
US, that Hon. James A. Frazier would be
mobbed by the Republicans of that
county were he to appear among them.
These liberties with the truth are about
on par with the Malone campaign lit
erature generally. The VIRGINIAN is
read by not less than five hundred
Rockbrid Republicans. and Frazier
will let the world know on election day
whether he is allowed to move about in
his native county. When Mr. Allen hears
from that county on the 9Th of Novem-
Der, he will think it more than probable
that both the VIRGINIAN and Mr.. Fra
Zier have been about.
When the Federal officials in Virginia
who have practically closed up their of
fees to devote their time to the election
OF Malone come to realize the situation,
they will reach the conclusion that they
have been entirely too previous. We
doubt whether the name of one of them
will be sent to the Senate, in December
next, as the President will not care to be
placed in the position of encouraging
the violation of the civil service law
which he is sworn to support, nor would
the Senate be ready to stultify itself by
voting to confirm men who have fla
gravity and brazenly violated that law.

Sick Headache

is a complaint from which many suffer
1 and few are entirely free. Its cause
is indigestion and sluggish liver, the
cure for which is readily found in the
use of Ayers Pills.
81 have found that for sick headache,
caused by disordered condition of the
stomach, Ayers Pills are the most re-
liable remedy. Samuel c. Bradburn,
Worthington, Mass.
"After the use of Ayers Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
] am justified in saying that they are an
excellent cathartic and liver medicine
sustaining all the claims made for them.'
w. A. Westfall M. D., V. P. Austin
& N. w. Railway Co., Burnett, Texas.
"Ayer's Pills are the best medicine
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a dis
ordered stomach and liver. l suffered
for over three years from headache, in
digestion, and constipation. I had no
appetite and was weak and nervous
: most of the time. By using three boxes
of Ayers Pills, and at the same time
dieting myself, was completely cured"

Gorman;sm and Mahoneism

Senator German, of Maryland Demo
crat. and ex-senator Malone, of Virginia
so-called Republican, are cOngenial spir-
its and work on similar lines. Germans
henchmen have recently made an expo
sure of many of his political crimes and
the methods he has employed TO roll up
Democratic majorities. The Reform
Democrats of Baltimore, headed by J.
K. Cowan, are ferreting out the frauds
and rascalities of the German Ring, and
have enlisted the aid of heller named
Herig, and another named Goodman.
They have given details of the manner
in which German works-the repeaters
from Washington, Philadelphia and 9th
er cities, he has used to achieve Demo-
cratic success. These two men testify
that there has not been an honest
election in Baltimore for fifteen years
that in each election the Democrats have
been counted in by fraud and that Cor
man owes his last election to the United
States Senate to fraud and perjury. Re-
form Democrats are unearthing fear
full and most revolving state of things in
the Democratic party, and have gotten
matters down so fine as to make it next
to impossible for the ring to succeed in
November. They are fighting for hon
est elections, and for the rights of the
people and good government.
The ''kickers" in Virginia are engaged
in similar work. They are opposing
Malone because of his abuse of power
his receptions and false pretenses, and
to save the Republican party and Vir-
| ginia from his baneful influence.
1t is a healthy sign when men dare to
break away from party organization
and appeal to the people for Justice
/ Unless there is higher plane of polti-
cal action-a healthier sentiment pre-
vailing in party management and more
honest methods invoked to achieve po-
litical results, there is no telling at what
point crime will be checked or what the
effect will be upon our political institu-
tions. There must be halt to German
ism and Mahoneism and those who come
| to the front to arrest their ruinous
march, will do good service to the State
and country.

Mahones election means the breaking of the
solid SOUTH Washington Press.
If the solid South cannot be broken
except through the methods Malone
employs and the influence Malone in
vokes, then we hope it will never be
broken, for it would be the death knell of
the Republican party in the Union. No
brave, self-respecting people will ever en-
dorse the despotism Malone practices.
No party can ever be builded up on the
hates of one man, and no party can, nor
would it deserve to, exist, that is funded
on corruption, fraud, and tyranny. If
by any freak of fortune it were possible
to elect Malone, it would be the ''alarm
bell'' for the nation, and would cause
such /evolt and such a protest from
the moral forces of the country, as would
break party trammels, shatter party ma
chinery, and draw together i'll solid pha-
lanx true men of all parties, to meet the
impending danger such an event would
imply. The ''solid South cannot be
broken by brute force. 1t cannot be

less OF manhood now than he employed then ?
You triumphed then and he submitted. He has

Malone had no case at Chicago, either
in party equity Or party law. He simply
was trying to force himself into the
Convention, by districts, in defiance of
party law and party right. He submitted
in his way, because he could do nothing
else, but what was his way? He delib-
erately defeated theHarrison and Morton
electoral ticket in Virginia; he defeated
the Republican candidate for Congress in
the 4th district, and caused, we believe,
the defeat of the regular Republican
nominee for Congress in the 10th district
How has he won in this contest? BY the
use of despotic plan of organization,
in expressing the will of the people by
misrepresentation to the President; by
violating the so-calIed compromise to
which he was party; and perverting the
power it gave him to effect precisely the
reverse of that for which it was agreed.
Heis only true to party when he can use
it, and false to 1t when it is necessary to
carry out his selfish plans.
