Third Party Office. Seekers.

The demagogical cry of the so-called
Peoples party is "Down with the law
yers and offlce-seekers." Yet their
candidates for President and Vice
President are both lawyers and office
seekers. The last effort in that line
made by Field was as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
lower house of the Legislature. He
wasn't strong enough in his own
county to get the nomination, and
went long ways from home to try his
luck in the new party.
And now it is stated that Hon. j,
Thompson Brown, Democratic elector
for this district, is in possession of a
letter written to him last May by Col.
Richard V. Gaines, in which he stated
that he was a candidate for the Demo
cratic Congressional nomination in this
district, and requested Browns sup
port and influence in his behalf. And
in that letter he said the Peoples party
business was swindle and humbug.
Now this man is a leading light in
the humbug party and was candidate
for it's Congressional nomination.

The New York Sun continues to
present in a forcible way the great
evils that would result from the pas
sage of the Force bill, which can only
be rendered possible by the success of
the Republican party at the approach
ing election. 1t calls attention, time
and again, to the fact, that at the close
of the war, when the colored popula-
ton exceeded the white in three of the
Southern States, and by aid of the
carpet-bag vote controlled number of
other States, the people of the South
were mercilessly robbed of their pos
sessions, the debt of nine States, being
increased from $76, 800 at the close
of the war to $3.50, 92S, 54 in 1871-six
years. The increase in the indebted
ness of Alabama alone, in that period,
was $44,S16,917. General Field says
the effect of the Third party move
ment in Virginia will be to give the
electoral vote to Harrison. With the
indisputable record of that party be-
fore him, he asks the people to obtain
relief by aiding the Republican party
to carry the State of Virginia. A party
that succeeded in adding $213, 512, 1914 to
the Indebtedness of nine Southern
States in six years is hardly the party
to relieve the farmers of their burdens.
AS a result of this misrule and ex-
travagance, as pointed out by the
Sun, ''emigration halted at the thresh-
old of these States, pinioned as they
were in their progress by bayonets.-
Capital did not venture into enterprises
which under other conditions would
have rapidly repaid the investment. u
There was disorder everywhere, and it
was not until Democratic Congress
put the seal of official disapprovalupon
Federal interference in State affairs
that the South enjoyed any degree OF
peace and prosperity. Under these
circumstances every well-wisher of the
South is bound to resist the attempts
of the Republican party to infiict upon
our section the evils incident to Force
bill. Don't throw your vote away on
Third party candidates, but give it to
the regular Democratic nominees, and
thus aid in averting the great calamity
that now threatens U.S.

Editor Spectator This has been
a week of education for the voters
of Nelson county. Hon. H. st.
George Tucker-who was billed to
speak at Massie's Mills on Monday,
Slaughter's on Tuesday, Wright's Shop
on Wednesday, and Variety Mills on
Thursday, was on hand, and spoke
with an earnestness which seemed to
carry conviction to the hearts and
minds of his hearers. lie touched up
on the record of the Republican party,
and showed in a clear and fOrcible
manner how fraud and speculation are
rife in that party, for which President
Harrison is largely responsible. He
portrayed in vivid colors the humilia-
ton to which the Southern people
would be subjected if the Republican
party were to continue in power, as
the Force bill would certainly become
a law, and every polling place in the
South would be surrounded by Fede-
raj officers to manipulate the returns.
That Mr.. Tucker thoroughly under
stands Democratic principles, is clearly
shown by his masterful exposition OF
the issues of the day.
Tariff reform, pension frauds, &C.,
were handled by him without gloves
and yet SO plainly and concisely that

He paid his respects to the Third OF
Peoples party, who he said are moth
ing more or less than assistant Repub
licans. and that every vote cast fol
them is cast against the cause Of good
government, and hence against the
Democratic party, which has SO Ions
been their salvation.
Mr.. Tucker closed with an earnes
appeal to the voters to stand firm anc
work without ceasing for the Demo
cratic cause from now until the polli
close on Nov. 9Th. The speeches mad
by tour Harry" in Nelson this weel
were regarded by many as the ables

Mrs. O,BrIen, Esq, mt the Academy.

The yearly sale OF unclaimed express
packages Is becoming more and more an
interesting mercantile event.
a few years ago the few packages I'M
claimed were not noticed, but recently
the accumulation had been so great,
and involves so much money that the
annual sale Is heralded weeks before its
occurrence, and proves source OF great
revenue to the big companies.
How do you account for the great
number Of unclaimed express PACKAGES
was asked the express companys manager
the other day.
Ignorance and carelessness on the part
of the cOnsignOr.'
Are not the contents or packages some
times of no value?"
Well, no; very often we find packages
containing merchandise and valuables that
would defray their express charges twenty
times over Now this is an evidence Of
carelessness on some ones part.
Then there are some that are of no value
at a sale. but of great value 10 their
owners. Here, not long ago. a small care
fully done up package that had remained
around the office for over two years was
opened and what do you think we found
In it?
A curl Of golden hair, a tiny pair OF
child's shoes and a dainty golden locket
containing the photograph of one of the
sweetest wOmanly faces l ever beheld,
and on the reverse of the locket was
engraved, From Papa to Esther"
There was also a package Of legal
papers givng a clew to the identity OF
child and making her an heiress. The
package was shipped from Boston, and l
tried very hard to find the consgnor, but
