Chairman Gordon's Address.

Mr.. Basil B. Gordon, chairman of the
democratic State committee, has issued
an address in which he says:
Even the republican leaders real
lied that people not wholly dead to
their rights and interest would not
long submit to injustice an hundred
fold more gritvous than that which JUS
titled our foretathers in revolution.
They therefore sought to suppress the
popular voice and perpetuate the part
nership between themselves and the
money power. This could only be
done by virtually retracting the fran
chise which they had reluctantly re-
stored to the white men of the South
after the war and by placing control of
the ballot in the hands Of the negro.
The force bill was introduced and only
defeated after desperate struggle.
The farmers of the State are tired,
he says, of building up the cities of the
North. Four years of poverty have
opened their eyes, and the issue which
divided our forces in 1883 finds them
united now. The enemy, Dir. Gordon
tell the democrats, need no educational
campaign, for their ignorance is
strength. The full negro vote in Nir-
einia, the address says, will be polled
solidly for the republicans, as always.
The union between the third party
and the republicans, the chairman
states, is perfect. The members of the
third party have prepared to desert
their electoral ticket and vote for Har-
rison in exchange for republican votes,
which will be given for their candidates
These are Mr.. Gordon's closing
words "Fellow-democrats, in the name
of your interests, of your liberties, of
YOUR love for State, | call on you to
make certain the electoral vote of Vir-
ginia, and with it insure the election of
Grover Cleveland

FIREWORKS AT CHARLESTON, :. c.
Forty thousand persons witnessed the
great bombardment of Fort Sullivan
last night. Taken altogether it was the
most elaborate and successful pyrotech-
mic display ever seen in the South. The
engagement between Sir Peter Parkcr's
fleet and Fort Sullivan and other bat
teries was brilliant in the extreme. The
seawall along the eastern city front was
packed with people, the elegant man
sions on the Battery were brightly il
Illuminated, and every point of vantage
was occupied by curious sisht-scers.
Bombs bursting in mid-air and showers
of many-coored rockets contributed to
the artistic magnilicence of the scene.
The bombardment was the great iea-
ture of gala week Trains yesterday
were packed with visitors and the two
remaining days of the festival will be
crowded with attractive features. In
the afternoon the city fire department
gave Il splendid parade and the tribe Of
Cherokee Indians played lacrosse be
fore a thousand people.

THE VICTORY the democrats gained
in the national Congressional elections
two years ago was sweeping. The high
tariff. the Force bill, the enormous cX-
penditures of the billion Congress, and
the ousting of fairly elected white men
in order to give their seats to negroes
who. on the testimony Of white republi-
cans, were not elected, so outraged and
disguised the people of the country
that they rose in their might aud swept
the republicans out of the House OF
Representatives with the Bosom OF de-
struction, hardly leaving enough for
representation on the committees.
Since then the democrats have certain
ly done nothing calculated to produce
a revulsion of popular feeling, while
the republicans, by insisting upon the
maintenance of the Mckinley bill, and
by threats of the Force bill if they
should gain the power to pass it, have
done all they could to increase and in
tensify that feeling An undebauched SUI
frage would elect Mr.. Cleveland by an
overwhelming majority; and if ne be
defeated, it must necessarily be by the
purchased ballots of bribed voters.

JUDGE GRESHAM says the Mckinley
bill was passed in the interest of favored
classes and not for the benefit of the
whole people. 1t neither enhanced the
price of farm products nor benefited
labor" The Judge knows what he is
talking about, and he, instead of Pu-
laski Weaver, were the Presidential
nominee of the third party, there would
be a great deal more doubt of the result
of next Tuesdays election than there
seems to be now. But those Virginia
members of the Farmers Alliance who
have merged that organization with the
third party act as though they know a
great deal more about the Mckinley
bill than Judge Gresham, as they are
doing all in their power to defeat the
repeal of that bill.

in his State night or two ago, said he

would not vote for Mr.. Cleveland. That
was the way for him to talk. From the

FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 4, 1892.
MR. JOIN WISE, formerly of Eir-
ginia, in speech he made in New
York night before last, said

Il
1t remained to Grover Cleveland and his
band of ex-Confedcrate administrations who
framed the Chicago platform TO discover that
n protective tariff is unconstitutional. We
can quit fully comprehend how gentlemen
like Mills, of Texas the Brccknrdgcs. Wat
tersou. Wilson and others, who lived under
the Confederate constitution and remember its
brilliant success, especially III finance, are
somewhat confused us TO their construction
and enamOred of their success as nnanclerS
We can realize how their discoveries were de-
layed by pressing engagements South But
how Grover Cleveland. who was doubtless
studying the Constitution of the United States
all during the war in the quiet of his home
should be so beatcd, great lawyer as no |
known 10 be. or why he delayed 50 long
filing his caveat for his discovery Is bey'
the ordinary comprehension. Let us looi u
he commercial risk which the so-,nern
States gre running when they r.--ertake to
revolutionize The commercial policy OF THIS
country. Let us see what they have at stake
against the republican States TO whom they
are ecking to dictate the change. The work
meu of Rhode Island alone could buy every
Share of the national bank stock owned IN hi
teen southern States by checks OH their de-
posted savings The savings bank deposits
Of the wOrkmen of Massachusetts would buy
the whole State of Virginia. Those of New
Hampshire could but Florida.
And yet Mr.. Wise, when he lived in
Virginia, and before he was defeated for
Congress by General Johnston and, for
Governor by General Lee, and before
he was blackballed by the Westmore-
land Club of Richmond used to speak
of the wound he received in defense of
the band of Confederate administrators
as his glory spot"

A New ovERcoAr FOR FULL DRESS

A new overcoat of full dress is vouch
safed by the swell Londoncrs. 1t is
q most diplomatic innovation, and
seems to belong to another regime OF
manners. when men of fashion met on
Fleet street and courtesied deliberately
and strobe magnifcently through the
minuet. In these days of skirt-danc-
ing and serpentine high kicking and
Ta-ra-ra, Boem, such a vogue seems
untimely. But it is really a most en-
gaging type to contemplate, consisting
as it does Of one single cape of black
material. 1t hangs in military gran
deur SO far down so as to cover the coat
tails. The special feature is a very
high velvet standing collar that comes
tight together in front, and is held in
place by an oxidjzed silver clasp

The reason why the sales of Or.

be found in the fact that its oldest

INSPIRED BY A SAINTEss. fol-
lowing account Of the recent Indian
troubles in Chihuahua, Mexico, comes
from official sources:
Three months ago the residents OF
Tomaschie, State of Chihuahua, arrang-
ed for the holding of II religious process
sion This being against the law, the
mayor prohibited the procession. The
Indians persisted in their attempt to
march, and the mayor, with IA guards,
tried to interfere, but was repciled
General Rojela, with so State soldiers,
then tried to stop the Indians, but found
the task too difficult and rctreated. In
the meantime, a message had been sent
to the war department for reinforce
ments. which in due time arrived, and
not till then did the Indians retreat.
They took refuge in a church, from
which they were finally dislodged by
large detachment of soldiers, after
defense which is described as one of the
most heroic in the world's history. Six
ty Indians and more than one hundred
soldiers were killed.
The Tomaschian Indians did not
number over eighty, but they were up
held by twenty or thirty Indians re-
ported to be from the Arizona reserva-
ton. Those not killed retreated across
the border.
President Diaz, in an interview at
Chapultepec, said that the trouble at
Tomaschie was not one of taxes. The
Indians, he said, year ago refused to
recognize any authority except that of
the so-called Saintess Colora. They re-
fused to obey any order whatever from
the government of Chihuahua. The
government had ever since been trying
to persuade them of the necessity of
submitting to the laws of the country,
but in vain Gen. Rancel, two months
ago, was sent out with small force to
compel obedience, but the fanatical In
dians, relying on the aid of their saint
ess, fought desperately and defeated
Rancel. Then the government sent six
hundred soldiers against the Tomas
chians, who had fewer than q hundred
fighting men. In the fight that ensued
the Indians lost forty-seven men. The
government lost more than one hum
dred men killed and wounded. The
affair was merely local and purely re-
ligious, and is now completely ended.
The Indians had Remington arms from
the United States.
