POLITICAL NOTES AND COM
MENI,S.

The notification Of Grover Cleveland and
A. E. Stevenson at New York, Wednes
day night, of their nomination. WAS a
mighty gathering. There were 10000 PEG
pile present, and the widest enthusiasm
prevailed.
The State Alliance annual meeting
on August 10th, was at first appointed fol-
Staunton but was changed to Richmond.
The Richmond correspondent of the Peters
burg 1ndex-Appeal says when it assemblies
there number of missionaries of the P.
P. will be On hand to attempt to work Oh
the members. The fact that the Virginia
Sun at Richmond, the organ Of the Alliance
has declared for the p. P. and that State
Lecturer Brad Beverley and two OF three
other gentlemen prominent in the Alliance
are pronounced in favor Of it, would
create the impression that the P. P.
was strong in the Alliance. MI. r. II.
Rawlings, who lately discontinued the pub
LEGATION of a 2. 2. organ at Charlottesville
and announced his intention to vote for
Cleveland, publishes card saying that the
Virginia Sun is published by two OIL three
individuals and not by the Alliance, which
does not permit party politics in its organ
ization, and that ''several of the largest
sub-alliances in Albemarle have disbanded
preferr1ng to surrender their charter to be-
ing assessed by this Richmond junta for
political purposes.
Gen. Field, the P. P nominee for Vice
President, is not having very hopeful re-
ception in his canvass in Virginia. At
Culpeper, his native county, they gave him
respectful hearing but at the close of his
remarks the audience gave three cheers for
Grover Cleveland. Gen. Field had an in
terview with correspondent of the Rich
mOnd State in which he claimed for his
party Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Neva-
da, Idaho, North and South Dakota, Wash
lngtOn, Oregon, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Texas, and saying that
as between Harrison and Cleveland, Harri-
son would he elected. Virginians should note
this prophecy of a Virginia nominee of the
Fourth party. Gen. Field said he had new
Ell been a member of the Farmers Alliance.
The attempt by State Lecturers and some
other Alliance men to draw that non-par-
TITAN organization in Virginia into the
support OF the so-called Peoples Party is
arousing the sub-Alliances. Botetourt
County Alliance has adopted the following
resolutions
WHEREAS, Certain leaders in our party are
seeking to entangle our organization into an
alliance with political move known as the
Peoples party.
Resolget1, 1st-That we wish to remain firm
in our allegiance to the tenets of our Farmers
Alliance order, and view with distrust and
alarm the evil consequences of such move.
2nG-We discountenance and condemn such
departure from the purposes of our organi-
cation, believing it will have tendency to
destroy and disrupt the benefits for which we
are striving.
The Flat Rock Alliance of Lunenburg
county, has adopted resolutions protesting
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1892-07-22

against the attitude of the legislative coun-
Gil Of the Virginia State Alliance towards
the Third party and the st. Louis platform
and announcing that I'VE are unalterably
determined not to be controlled in our DO
litical action by any power or combination
whatever
The Chesterfield Alliance has adopted a
resolution instructlng its delegates to the
State Alliance at Richmond August 10th,
to ''vote against every proposition looking
to political party in the Alliance"
The IeocomicO Alliance has adopted
resolutions setting forth that the leaders of
the organization in Virginia have attemp-
ted to make a political affair of it, and
therefore Yeocomico Alliance authorizes
its Secretary to return it's charter to the
State organization and disband it.
AT a picnic of the Hanover county ALI
ance on the 18th inst, j. Haskins Hobson
Of Powhatan, Alliance Lecturer of the 4tl
district, who had been advertised to deliver
an address on Alliance principles, delivered
a stump speech in favor of the Third party.
He was replied to by F. NJ. Parish of
Goochland, Alliance lecturer of the Sd dis
trict, who spoke in behalf of the Democra-
cy. Julian M. Ruffin and w. E. Yount

A Third party meeting was held at Boyd
ton, Meeklenburg, last Monday, court day,
which was addressed by M. II. Warwick, q
colored Alliance lecturer. At the same
time and place Prof. Puryear of Richmond
College, addressed Democratic meeting
held near by.
A correspondent of the Richmond Times
writing from buckingham county, says be
is "reliably informed that movement IS
on foot to put Third party candidate fol
congress in the field in the Staunton dis
trict, and that the Republican vote has been
promised him.

4 NICE OUTLOOK FOR THE TAX
PAYERS

PAYERS.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch, who has evidently gone to the official
record for his figures. writes that the State
of Virginia now receives from taxes paid
by the railroad, telegraph, telephone and
transportation companies within her bord-
ers every year the sum Of 1902, 1882. Gen.
Field, Col Robert Beverley and Maj. Mann
Page propose by the P. 2. platform. that
the q. S. government should take posses
sion of all these and thereby deprive the
Commonwealth of fifth Of million dol
lars income annually. The bulk Of the
taxes are paid by the farmers Of the State
and on them would chiefly fall the making
up of this deficit of 500. 1882. So much
for what the State would have to lose for
the P. P. experiment! Now, to come closer
home, let s see what Augusta county, in adj
dition to the above, would have to lose on
her own account. She has three railroads
running through her territory. One Of
them is exempted from taxation by its
charter, the other two pay annually the

For 1928 the amount will be increased
by per cent. and will amount to 1913.
That is what the farmers Of Augusta coun-
ty would have to lose every year for trying
the experiments of Field, Beverley and
others. Other counties penetrated by rail
roads would lose in proportion. This loss
to State and county acould haze to be made
Mp by increased ta1Gtion the railroads
in the hands OF the government would furn-
ish places for the friends Of the politicians,
and the farmers would 90 on paying the

THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC CAN.
VASS SHOULD COMMENCE.

We believe that it is the universal opinion
among the rank and file of the Democracy
in Virginia that Chairman Gordon should
open his headquarters, send out his speak
eIs, and commence the campaign at once.
The privates in the ranks feel like they did
thirty years ago-they don It want to be ly-
ing still without firing shot when the en-
envy is foraging in easy gun shot. Gen.
Field and other P. ?. IS are riding around
the country trying tc pick up forage and a
straggler here and there, and they should
find regular Democratic camps under a
regular Democratic commander at every
point they touch. Let these gentlemen
with their wild political schemes he met at
every point with Democratic meetings
where sound common sense is being taught,
and where the people will have an opportu-
nifty of hearing the P. P. bubbles exploded.
The harvest work is over, and the farmers
of Virginia have plenty of time to heal
good common sense talks.
The riot at the Carnegie mills, and the
murders committed in it, are to fill large
place in the Pennsylvania courts. The
Carnegie people have had Burgess a leader
of the strikers arrested, and put in jail, and
it is said they have the names and will have
two hundred of the workmen engaged in
the deadly riot arrested. The law of Penn
sylvania hold all persons guilty Of murder
in the first degree, who participate in a riot
in which life is taken. There are 5000
State troops stationed at Homestead, and
the non-union workmen are slowly coming
in and taking the strikers places. Governor
Patteson was there to inspect the troops
Tuesday.
