A Word to PrOhlbitiOniStS.

In 1888 the Democratic vote in Vir-
ginia for President was 1,9T. The
Republican vote for President was
15O,43e. The Democratic plurality
was 1,539 votes and the Prohibition
lists in Virginia in that election cast
1878 votes.
If those 1,678 votes had been cast for
Harrison the State would have gone
Republican by 139 majority.
Every Prohibitionist in Virginia
who votes for Bidwell is not throwing
his vote away. He is giving half
vote to the Republican party, and he
is doing nothing for the advancement
of his own principles. He is giving a
half vote for the enactment of an cleo
ton law, that provides:
a. For three Federal Supervisors,
two of whom shall be Republicans, to
be appointed by the Radical South
hating Judge, Hugh L. Bond.
e. For the right of these Super
visors to challenge any registration of
any voter.
g. For the fright Of these Super
visors to strike any name from the
registration list.
a. For the right of these Super
visOIs to receive any vote that is re-
jected by your local judges of election.
o. For the right of these Super
visors to assist in counting the ballots.
co. For any number of deputy q. S.
Marshals at the polls, to be appointed
by Republican Chief Supervisor who
holds office for life.
7.) For the power to the President
of the United States to put the Army
and Navy of the United States at the
polls in time of peace on the applica-
ton of these Supervisors.
g. For the right of these Federal
Republican election officers to prefer
charges against voters, who shall be
tried away from their homes by juries
which may be packed for such trial,
and on conviction be sentenced to the
penitentiary for from one to five years.
o. For the appointment of Board
of Republican Canvassels whose GER
tlticate of election shall override that
of your local judges of election.
Q0.) For the expenditure of from
fifteen to twenty millions of the peo-
pies money in paying this horde of
Federal Republican election officers.
1t is futile to say that the Force bill
is bug-bear. The last Republican
House passed it, and it was defeated
in the Senate by a few silver Republi-
can votes. Harrison stood ready to
sign it. The New York Tribune,
Whitelaw Reid's paper says: "There
are hundred tariff bills in one force
bill.n
Do you think that if you help Har-
rison to carry Virginia by giving him
half vote, and get a Force bill for
your pains and your principles, it
will ever be possible to elect Prohi-
bitionist to any Office, unless he be
Radical Republican
Your party is dead party, if there
is a Force bill. Your vote for Bid
well may give Virginia to Harrison.

Hon. Absalom Koiner, our disting-

of citizens and voters in the Academy
last Saturday. About 2 o'clock the
heavens clouded over and a heavy fall
rain descended, but nOtwithstand-

assembled and listened to the address
with close attention and deep interest.
Mr.. Koiner's speech was clear, calm
and logical with no attempt at oratory
or flowery rhetoric he held the atten-
ton of his hearers by the simple
strength and logic of his argument.
He spoke one hour and half and
closed by exhorting his hearers to bring

Hon. Wayne MacEeagh


GIVES HIS REASONS FOR ENTERING
THE RANKS OF THE DEMOCRACY.
PhilddelDhia, Pa, Oct. 15.-Five
thousand people were at the Academy
of Music tonight to witness the formal
entrance into Democratic ranks of
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, the Attorney
General of President Garfields Cabi-
net The distinguished jurist was
heartily greeted, and was introduced
by Hon. Samuel q. Thomas, president
of the Young Mems Democratic Asso-
citation, under the auspices of which
the meeting was held.
Mr.. MacVeagh first returned thanks
for the comments to which he has been
subjected during the past ten DAYS and
said he considered, as the greatest pos
sble euiogy the declaration of Christie
pier MacGheo and David Martin that
they did not think very highly of his
political consistency or political in
tiuence. II never sold my vote,' he
continued, land | was never party.
directly or indirectly, to buying any
body else's vote. How could the Mae
Ghees and Martins think well Of me?'
Mr.. MacVeagh said he voted for
President Harrison in 1888, but all his
hopes have been disappointed, and
from that day to this the conviction
has been steadily growing upon his
mind that the general tendency of the
Republican party was not only mimi
cal to the best interests of the country,
but, unless checked, was sure to result
not only in making the poor poorer,
but the rich more selfish and more
corrupt, and therefore less patriotic.
The speaker said he cannot vote
second time for Mr.. Harrison, because
of the buying of the Mckinley bill by
manufacturers and the action of the
present administration toward Chilli.

The Baltimore Sun has sent Mr..
Frank Richardson, the we'll known
chief of it's Washington bureau, to
Illinois, to report the condition of af-
fairs there. His first letter states that
the Democracy are making such a
splendid fight that they have the Re
publicans thoroughly alarmed. For
the first time in the history of that
State, the Republicans are calling on
the national committee for aid, and
the local corruption fund, which has
hitherto been sent TO other States, is
to be kept in Illinois, and this year
has to be augmented by contributions
from the national committee. Saws
the Sun.
Even if the Democrats do not carry
what has hitherto been considered a
Repu Gibraltar, it is clear that
they will press their opponents so Wig
orouslv and closely as to keep them
from extending the customary aid to
their allies elsewhere. Illinois Repub-
licans have all they can do this year to
look after themselves"
The natural query suggested by this
is that if the national corruption fund
hes to be called on to help Radical
>trongholds, what will become of the

The Coin Of the Old Virginia Banks.

tbs said that the National Republican
Committee has been supplied with over
100000 of old Virginia bank notes,
which the Republican campaign orat-
ors will be given to use as object lessons
of the wildcat currency for the re-
vival of which the Democratic plat
form is alleged to call by recommend
ing the repeal of the 10 per cent. pro-
hibitory tax on State-bank issues of
currency.-EcchGnge.
The old Virginia banks were in no
sense wildcat" banks. Their issues
were well secured, but some of their
coin was lent to the State, some to the
Confederate States, some was railroad
ed off to the South at the evacuation
of Richmond, and fell into the hands
of the Federals, and some is now in the
Treasury of the United States, held
there in spite of the appeals and pro-
tests of it's lawful owners.
Let the truth be known. Perhaps
this discussion may cause the United
States Government to surrender the
coin which it illegally holds.-Rich-
mond Dispatch.
