O'Ferrail and Massey In the Field.
(Staunton Vindicator)

We see some objection made to the Gov
ernOr and Superintendent Of Education
OF the State taking the stump this fall.
For our part. we hope every State officer
who can speak effectively will be found
on the stump and those who cannot
speak will put in hard work. The man
that goes around the country kicking up
a dust at every CROSSROADS until he IL
elected and then draws into his shell Is
not the man We want 10 see get any
prominence in Virginia. II Governor
O'Ferrall and Mr.. Massey could find II
convenient TO drop into Augusta In Oc-
tober and say few words for the cause
that they and all OF us have at heart, we
should be very much obliged TO them.
They are two of the best campagners in
the State, and we hope they will make a
regular tour of it. As for "neglecting their
business" we hardly think the Governor
is likely to do it, and the keen old parson
who has been holding State Offices for
many years has not done 1t yet, so we
think we can trust them.
After the people have met and decided
who they want to represent them, we
think 1t is the duty OF every Democrat in
the State, In or out OF office, TO help elect
them 1t Is when men in once, Federal
or State, interfere with the PRIMARIES or
the people, that the Vindlcator thinks 1t
is a wrong that cannot be excused. The
people should have free expression of
their will, uninfiuenced by office-holders
or their henchmen, and after they have
said what they want done. then everybody
should help TO do II.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Some time since the lightning struck the

superstition Of our early fOrefathers, this
electric phenomenon may carry something
OF dread and fearful awe; as II il were
a sign from Heaven Of the displeasure of
the gods. Some foolish mind may think
that God thus showed his disapproval of
this noble work. this monument to our
fallen dead To correct any such impress
sion, il may be said that the Greeks and
Romans would have accepted such action
Of the elements. which we trace TO purely
scientific causes. as a manifestation Of
Divine favor and II would have convinced
their minds that Jupiter approved of their
labor
Byron has beautifully expressed the
thought in the following lines:
THE lightning rent from Anosto's bust,
The iron crown of laurers mined
leaves.
Nor was the ominous element unjust
For the laurel-wreath which Glory
weaves.
Is Of the tree no bolt Of thunder cleaves;
And the false semblance but disgraced his
