THE ROANOKE TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER %. 1se5.

what course to pursue at tho coming
election. They know that old thugs
have passed away and that new issues
and new men are before them. They
know that there is not q fair ballot and
full count in the whole State, and they
know by the fact that o Judge from
another district WAS called upon to set-
tie an election contest in this city not
very long ago, that there is not the free
and untrammeled balloting hero that
formerly prevailed.
Their desire for fair play and their
settled convictions all make them favor
the Citizens ticket and yet they lack
the moral courage to cut loose from
such afiilia tions because tho opposition
to the independent candidates hold on
to the name OF Democracy, party they
have been voting with for years. In
thus holding back from following their
honest convictions they are helping to
rivet the chains Of factional slavery
upon themselves and the other voters
Of the State. They ere neglecting the
OPpOAsuhieJ oAOiNCU enSuh w oosSHe
their political manhood and indepen-
dence. thereby enabling office seekers
to hold on to public positions, while the
material interests of the State are suf-
fering from an unwise policy inaugu-
rated 10 meet evils which existed only
IL the minds of selfish politicians and
their deluded followers.
While this is true of many, hundreds
OF Democrats have already chosen the
wise course and will support the Citi-
zsns ticket Those who are hesitating
should follow their example and re-
member that everything valuable must
bo struggled for to be fully appreciated
II may seem hard TO break loose from
cd ties, but when these ties only lead
US into error and against our convic
tions they should be severed without
hesitation. You are not asked to sur
render shy venerated principle. only to
rise up in your manhood and do what
you believe to be right. Cast your bal
lot for the Citizens ticket and let the
world know that the voters of the
Fourth senatorial district know what ia
right and will dare to do it.

INTERESTING FIGURES,

II noise and buster could elect their
ticket, the leaders of the com bine might
count themselves as sure winners at the
coming election; but, unfortunately for
their claims, all the indications, after q
quiet canvass, point the other way,
while the figures in the case completely
controvert their alleged estimates. In
the Congressional CO ntest last fall the
Democratic, Republican and Populist
vote OF this Senatorial district was as
follows:
The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1895-10-29

The Democratic machine boys first
tried speechifying with very Indifferent
success. They then got down on the
ground and appealed to the intelligence
OF the voters, but here they found more
intelligence than they expected to en-
counter. The next move WAS to appeal
to prejudice and try to array one sec ton
Of our community against the other, but
here again they failed. The last ap.
peal the boys propose to make is to the
stomachs of the voters. The combine
has arranged for grand free oyster sup.
pers in the various wards. Democratic
oysters are to be dished out
without money and without price to
whomsoever will promise to vote Tor
the machine candidates. The boys are
resourceful. No doubt about it.
The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1895-10-29


The above figures show that the Re-
publican, Populist and Prohibition vote
combined exceeded the Democratic vote
by 766, aud in Roanoke city alone by 81
votes. Then there were three tickets in
the field, whereas now there are only
two with hundreds of Democrats in Roa
noke city and county supporting the
Citizens ticket, while in the Congress
sional election last year but few Demo-
Gratis voted for the Republican or Popu-
list candidate. This will, OF course,
materially affect the returns in favor of
the independent candidates.
There is also every indication that q
good vote will be polled, the registrat ton
in this city alone being 1881 against a
total vote in 1894 of 3,0s2, which Is a
gratifying evidence that voters are
fully aroused to the Importance of the
questions at issue and will use their
ballots freely on next Tuesday.
The total Democratic vote in 1894 of
Roanoke county, Craig county and Roa-
noke city was 2,s7o; the combined Re-
publican, Populist and Prohibition vote
OF the same counties and city was 3,1o6,
or 1876 moro votes than were cast for the
Democratic ticket. The mbined Dem
ocratic vote OF the whole senatorial dis
trict in 1894 was 1903, and the Repub-
lican, Populist and Prohibition vote was
4,729, or 766 votes more than Major
Otey received
In view Of the strength of the
Citizens ticket, from the character of
the candidates. and the dissatisfaction
Of the people with the so~called Demo
cratic rule, it is very easy to see how
the above majorities could be increased,
but very difficult to believe that with
fair ballot and full count they could
be reduced. On the whole, the outlook
for a complete victory for tho entire
Citizens ticket next Tuesday is very
fattering ono, and with tho above
figures before them it is not to be won
dered that the boys" are discouraged
and are already in their own minds pre-
pared for defeat.

The burning OF the University of Vir-
GINA on Sunday afternoon was serious
loss to the State, but, great as was this
disaster, the almost complete destruc-
tion of the splendid library there was
misfortune that neither time nor money
can remedy. The work of education.
however, will not be interrupted, and in
due time, by the aid OF philanthropic
men and women throughout the country,
the burned building will be renewed in
perhaps more durable form than ever
Virginians everywhere, in the destruc
tion of the venerated building and it's
contents, will feel sense OF personal
loss

THOSE in position to know thing
or two estimate the expenses of the
Democratic machine in this city at ex-
oeeding one hundred dollars day. Most
of this is being spent in promoting the
interest OF their candidate for the SEN
ate. 1t seems that poor Uncle Andy has
been practically thrown overheard by
the machine boys and left TO work out
his own political salvation.

VOTE AS YOU THINK,

The party whip Is cracking and
wonld-bs leaders of Democracy are ap-
plying the old methods with vim and
energy to keep doubtful voters in line
in order that full vote for the combine
may be polled on Tuesday next. Hun
dreds of Democrats are disguised at the
way things have been running and are
anxiously debating within themselves
