THE WARD MEETINGS.

Roanoke Democracy elects to night
its delegation to the State convention.
1t is strongly for Col. Charles T. OFFER
rail-, and we believe every ward will
send solid delegations in his favor.
Colonel OFerrall is able, honest and
brave. His Democracy is the Demcc
racy of principle. His life, public and
private, is pure. His career has been
that of typical American. From a
boyhood of poverty and privation he
has risen by hard struggles against
adversely to the position of one of the
the great Democratic leaders in the
House, and honor to the State aud the
party. He shed his youthful blood in
Virginia's cause; his manhood has been
devoted to her interest; his is no Sec
tional canvass; he is every inch true
son of Virginia, bone Of her bone and
flesh OF her flesh.
In the window OF THE TINES Office is
large and life-like portrait Of Colonel
O'Ferrall. No one can gaze at that
striking face without recognizing the
leading traits of his character, and yet
how short it falls Of the kindly magnet
ism OF his living presence. His canvass
has been free from personal attacks on
his opponents. The scurillous filings
against him have fallen to the ground.
His whole career may be epitomized
Into that epigram OF the Noyes Rock
we'll contested election case, in which
he silenced the opposition: 81 would
rather be the lion than the fox!"
Let the Democrats of Roanoke do
their duty to night and support the man
Of the people, Hon Charles L. O'Ferrall.

1882 and has held annual meetings every
year since, and is the only county asso-
citation in Virginia located off a railroad
which has done SO. Major Mcdowell
says that it has been enabled to do so
largely through the liberality of Roa-
noke merchants who have been gener-
Gus in their contributions. A particu-
larly fine fair is promised this year, and
Roanoke, as usual. will be largely rep.
resented. Major Mcdowell was present
at the county Democratic convention on
Monday.
THE TINES report of that conven-
tion," said he, 'was accurate on nearly
every point and absolutely accurate on
every material point. The only mac.
curacies were on minor and immaterial
matters. The Tyler managers had a
man in the saddle riding the county for
four weeks, making personal solicita-
tions on the Tyler men to turn out
Even then the O'Ferrall men were in a
majority. Colonel O'Ferral! on straight
vote would carry Botetourt county three
