A MENACE TO THE REPUBLIC.-Wit
the defeat of Cleveland in November
democratic ascendancy will never again
be restored.-C leCeldnd ohio Leader.
There is, says the Danville Register,
a menace in the above paragraph
which is enough to alarm every true
American in the land. 1t means that
if the republican party is successful
this time, it will by the force bill and
other similar Vaccinations perpetuate
its power.
This is critical time with the Amer
lean republic. All the tendencies of
the Republican party are towards cen
tralized government and Fred Douglass
voiced the sentiment of many a man in
his party, when he said that he want
ed to see in this country strong gov
eminent with dictator. Look at the
dangers that threaten The tariff sys-
tenn, the pension system, the system of
finance, the force blinded the en-
tire policy of the republican party is in
the direction of Capitalization and if
that policy is again successful in the
election of 1892, we fear that the predic-
ton of the Cleveland Leader will he

Nominee Of Peoples Party in 9TH Dis
trict

The Convention of the Peoples par
ty which met at Luray on last Thurs
day, nominated for Congress of that
district j. r. c. Lewis of Clarke cOun-
ty in opposition to Hon. Charles T..
O'Ferrall the Democratic nominee.
We do not know whether the Republi-
cans will make any nomination, or
whether they will support the nominee
of the Third Party. The Republican
party and the so called Peoples Party
are working together to defeat, the
Democratic party. The Peoples Par
ty is the ally of the Republican party,
and how any Democrat can support it
is one of the mysteries.
As Lewis was Democrat, it is prob
able the Republicans will make a nom
nation, and Lewis will aid in the eff
fort to elect the Republican by with
drawing support from TIE Democratic
nominee.

WHAT BASIL B. GORDON THINKS
At the meeting of the National Demo
cratic committee in New York City last
Wednesday, Hon. Basil B. Gordon,
Chairman of the Democratic State com
mittee of Virginia and a member of the
National Democratic Committee is re-
ported to have said =
1.-The political outlook in Virginia is
improving daily. Democrats are thor
oughly aroused and participating more
actively in the campaign than for many
years. The third party movement
has been checked at all points and is
disintegrating in many. They have
come to realize that they are being
made the tools of the republican lead
ers, and however great the poverty
and depression which has given rise to
their party, they are not prepared to
sever lifelong associations and invoke
upon their State the horrors which
every Southern man believes INSOFAR
able from the force bill.n

The Alexandria Sun agrees with the

The Alexandria Sun agrees with the
Lynchburg Ad00nce that it is useless
to ignore the fact that Virginia is a
doubtful State. Mr.. Cleveland carried
it by very small margin four years
ago, and there is another element (the
third parity in this contest operating
against the Democracy, that we did
not have to contend with at that time.
We would be foolish to close our eyes
to the true condition of affairs Viz
ginia can be carried, but it will require
an active canvass and full vote to do
it. Realizing the Importance of every
vote in this contest, no man who de-
sires to see the Force bill defeated
should give his vote to the third party
electoral ticket.

The Beginning of the End.

Under the above caption the Lynch
burg Ad0ance says it was a fatal step
on the part of the Alliance to identify
itself with the Weaver party, because
it was plain violation of the funda-
mental principles of the order. 1t can
no longer claim that. it does not inter
fere with the politics of the individual
member when it is every day using his
contributions to support the propagan-
dists of the new political faith.
The work of disintegration must go
ON in Virginia as it is going on in North
Carolina. True Democrats will with
draw when they find it impossible to
prevent the order from being made
mere appendage to the Republican
party, and only those will be left VINO
are willing to become assist Republl-
cans. To this complexion it will come
at last. There will be but two parties
in Virginia, for the Peoples party is
fighting the battle of the Republicans,
whether they are willing to acknowl-
edge it or not.
The Republican hope of breaking the
solid South is based solely on the belief
that the Third party will draw oil
enough Democrats to give Republicans
the plurality. For that reason they
are willing to give moral support and
pecuniary assistance to the Thirty par
ty leaders.
We cannot believe that the plain,
honest farmers, when they came to I'M
derstand the game, will permit them
selves to be made mere tools in the
hands of Republican politicians. We
repeat that from this time on the
strength of the Peoples party in Vir-
ginia must rapidly decline, for the sober
second thought has already set in.

In the days of reconstruction, says
the Richmond Times, the Republicans
placed ignorant negroes fresh from
slavery over the whites at the point of
the bayonet, making them magistrates
and petty jurors, and it was no I'M
common thing for them to actually try
cases involving the persons and prop
erty of their former masters. This has
by no means yet been forgotten, and
the Republicans of the North, by
means of Force bills and like legisla-
ton, are hoping at this very time to
restore a similar state of affairs to the
South. while the Southern Third party
men are aiding and abetting them in
their designs. 1t seems incredible that
Southern white men and farmers could
thus lend themselves to their own ruin
and the destruction of their civiliSa-
ton.

Something Thousands Are

a Fact Of Marvellous Import to All.

NEwBURG. NY.-A photographic dis
patch from Newburg, N. Y, reveals the
fact that most marvellous change has
taken place in the person of one of it's
oldest and best known citizens. H. S.
Shorter, Esq. is an old man of 70 years,
and lives ut 391 Broadway, Newburg,
N Y. Itappears that Mr.. Shorter, who
was an extensive lumber dealer, began
to grow languid, get tired easily, was
nervous and debilitated, until at last
he became so weak and exhausted that
he was ust able to drag himself around.
He lost flesh and strength SO rapidly
and became so alarmingly Frustrated
that his friends and relatives despaired
of his life.
Now came the marvellous change
Suddenly Mr.. Shorter was transform

ness to one of strength; his nerves grew
quickly strong and steady, his muscles
became vigorous, his blood was revivi-
fed and enriched, he gained 10 pounds
in weight, and to-day is in sound and
perfect health.

ELECTIONS IN VERMONT AND MAINE
As Vermont and Maine are such strong
Republican States, the Democrats are
making no effect to carry them, whilst
the Republicans are striving to increase
the usual majorities for the sake of it's
moral effect. The usual majority in
Vermont in Presidential years is about
$4,000. In 1888 and 1890 the Republican
majority in Maine was about $4,000.
The election in Vermont took place
yesterday, the 9Th, and that in Maine
will take place next Tuesday, the 18th.

THE VIRGINIA Sun REPUBLICAN,
We stated several weeks ago that the
editor of the Virginia Sun, a paper
that processes to represent the Farm
ers' Alliance of this State, but which
represents only the Peoples Party,
different thing from the Alliance, was
a Republican. In it's issue of August
24th the mask is thrown off, and it
denounces the Democratic party in an
offensive manner, declaring it to be
San organized hypocrisy" This is the
paper that is the recognized organ of
the Peoples Party. 1t is an ally of the
Republican party and Alliance men
should repudiate it.

The Pulaski, Tenn, Democrat, adds
some further facts in the exposure of j.
B. Weaver's inhuman treatment of
Southerners. 1t says =
"Gen. Weaver, while in command at
Pulaski, in January, 1864, issued an
order to Charles C. Alternately, John
H. Newhill, Robert Rhodes and others
that they pay into his hands 81, coo for
the maintenance of refugees (meaning
negroes and renegades from Alabama) !.
This order was accompanied by the
threat that if the money was not paid
they and their families would be sent
South and their property given to said
refugees. All of these parties are now
dead, and were over sixty years old
when that order was issued. Can any
Southern man vote for such a heart
less wretch p
The State recently published from a
private citizen of Pulaski testimony
corroborating this. The Democrat says
further that when Mr.. John P. Will
liams, a highly respected and poor
citizen, asked Weaver for voucher
the petty scoundrel replied: 81 don't
give rebels in the South vouchers, !
would rather furnish rope to hang
every done of them" The paper
says =
"Weaver made it a practice to
charge our citizens ten cents each for
passes to come into and go out of the
Federal lines. This money he put into
his own pockets. This pass read as
follows =
"'Pass the bearer through the Fed
eral lines.
