Bedford has adopted and sent to the Coun-
ty Alliance notification that if they, the
colored Alliance, are expected to vote for
any third party they propose to withdraw.
as they intend to vote for the Republican
candidate for President.
President Polk of the National Alliance,
in speech at Yanceyville, N. c., Thurs
day, said he could not vote for Cleveland
nor Hill as both were ''pliant tools of Wall
street"
A partial poll Of the members of the bar
of Alexandria made by the Evening Sun

The Stock Law.

Editor Vandacator i:
A correspondent in your last issue enquiries
about the penalty for stock running on the
highways, in the bill passed by the last legis-
lature and referred to the people to vote
upon in this county. If the bill should be-
come law the fine would be the same as it
is now for stock breaking through a lawful
fence, namely a fine from one to twenty
dollars. 1t seems to me, and have heard
number of others express the same view, that
compromise ought to be made by not asking
for vote on this bill, but ask the next legis-
lature to pass hog law. Such law would
enable the farmers to put up a three plank
fence and other cheap fences along the high
ways. 1t would protect the roads from hog
wallows and roofing up the side bitches. Such
a law would save the farmers of this county
thousands of dollars in lessening the cost of
fences. 1t would encourage more plank fence
building, which would look better and keep
cleaner fence rows. AS there is so much
division on the stock law bill, I think the leg
islature did right in referring the question to
the people l am farmer and live on pub
lie road and would be very we'll satisfied with
hog law. Let us ask for a hog law.

THE VINDICATOR,S COUNTY COR
RESPONDENCE.

We, and we presume the pal lie, have been
struck by both the excellence and extent of
the VINDICATOR's county correspondence.
From a purely journalistic point of view
for we havenot the pleasure of personal
acquaintance with many of the writers and
therefore have not the motive of social COM
pliment-it is unsurpassed by anything we
have seen in the Virginia press. The writers
use excellent English; know news when they
see it; have a keen sense of propriety about
when not to see it; are reliable, and are
Industrious in getting it-five desirable
qualities in writing for thepublic. A clean.
accurate. unsensational, and thorough pre-
sentation of the county news in the weekly
paper is a most attractive feature, ard we
must do the VINDICAToR correspondents
the justice to say that their work measures
fully up to the best standard.

THE CLEVELAND CLUB.

There is nothing ambiguous about the in
tents and purposes of the Cleveland club
organized last Friday night. Its purposes
are, first, to use every honorable effort up
to the nomination at Chicago to forward
the interests of Grover Cleveland for that
nomination; second. to support whoever
may be the nominee of that convention to
the full extent of it's power. 1t desires the
aid of every Democrat in Staunton who is Of
the same way Of thinking. Of course it
would be very inconsistent to invite an anti
Cleveland Democrat to join club to help
to nominate Cleveland. 1t is called the
Cleveland club, just as a club to forward
the Presidential aspirations of Senator
Hill would he called Hill club, OIL OF MI.
Carlisle, Carlisle club. One Of the first
duties of it's members will be to attend the
primaries in full force on May 10th and see,
if majority OF the Democrats of Staun-
ton favor Cleveland, then that Cleveland
Democrats be sent to Richmond to repre-
sent them. If there is majority OF anti
Cleveland, men then anti Cleveland Demo.
crauS ought W Ue Sent w hlCnlloHu W Iop-
resent them. They want the majority of
the Democrats at Staunton represented,
and no wire working to wedge Cleveland
man into a anti-C Cleveland delegation, OIL an
anti-Cleyeland man into Cleveland dele
cation. The Cleveland club proposes as the
first part of their work to do all they can to
see that the town primaries are fair and
Representatives.

1t is not often that one finds man prom
inent for Presidential nomination who
has the courage to write such a modest,
manly, common sense letter as that we give
below. And yet 1t gives no new advice,
but simply what the Cleveland men have
already determined on. They are neither
dreamers nor destructionists; they are prac
tical Democrats to whom is due a large
measure of the success Of the Democratic
party in its history. They propose to have
their preference represented at Chicago,
and when there to act in all things for the
good Of the National Democratic party. 1t

the report of the meeting at Chattanooga,
which you SO kindly sent me, and for the

sion. I am exceedingly anxious to have our
party do exactly the right thing at the Chca-
go convention, and l hope that the delegates
will be guided by judgment, and actuated by
the true Democratic spirit and the single de-
sire to succeed on principle. [ should not be
frank if l did not say to you that often fear
do not deserve the kind things such friends
as you say of me, and have frequent misgiy-
ings as to the wisdom of again putting me in
nomination. l, therefore, am anxious that
sentiment and unmeasured personal devotion
should be checked when the delegates to the
convention reach the period of deliberation
In any event there will be no disappointment
for me in the result.
