ITHAs become evident by the exam
nation of the registration books of the
State, that the republicans and their as
sistants have made "still hunt" and
have succeeded in catching every me-
gro in sight or hearing, and having bis
name inscribed on those books, so that
his vote for Mckinley may be counted
next Tuesday. What the democrats
most need in the emergency that is now
upon them, are not only men who I'M
derstand the election laws, but game
enough to see that they be properly en-
forced, and that those who may attempt
to interfere with the execution of those
laws be arrested and locked up until af-
ter the polls be closed. A crisis is now
not only upon the democratic party,
but upon the State of Virginia, and the
latter's brave sons must not fail her in
her hour of extremity.

earnings under free coihage at onebali
what they are now and wanted to know

SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 81, 1896

THE MORE the record of General
Palmer, the head of the snide, decoy
bunco, or assistant republican ticket
as it is variously designated, is exam
ined, the more Objectionable he should
become to every man with drop OF
Southern blood in his veins. In search
ing that record, the following extract
from speech he made when candi'
date for Governor of Illinois has been
discovered:
"Give the negro the ballot, because a
loyal niger is superior to a white
rebel. All rebels must stand back
and let the loyal niggers take front
seats. I am tired of pandering to
prejudice. I'll take the niger into
partnership in the concern and dissolve
all connection with rebels"
Talk about pretty dish to set be-
fore the King! Isn't this pretty dish
to set before Southern people? Nc
wonder the gold boilers of the South
like those of the North, have determin
ed to scout and hout the whole thing
vote for Mckinley, and turn republi-
cans at once, without going through
the grub or larva evolution.

Campau Appeals to Palmer Men.

CHICAGO, Oct 3l.-Campaign Chair
man Campau, of the democratic ma.
tional committee, last night declared
that he had information which justified
the assertion that the republican ma
tional committee has formally instruct
ed the Hanna Hessians who have been
supporting or pretending to support
Palmer and Buckner to throw oil their
masks and vote and work directly for
Mckinley" Mr. Campau alleges that
a telegram>with the object OF inducing
Palmer democrats to vote for Mckinley
was sent out yesterday by order of Mr.
Hanna to all the leading republican
and gold democratic newspapers in the
country. Upon this allegation, MIR.
C,mpau last night issued an appeal di-
rectly to honest democrats who pre-
ferred Palmer to Bryan for reasons OF
their own ito come with US and cast
their votes for the regularly nominated
democratic candidate and be with him
in his hour of victory"

As THE opponents of the peoples
ticket found it impossible to gull the
workingmen with the silly assertion
that their wages would be paid in fifty
three cent dollars, in face of the patent
fact that silver dollars, under the re-
sumption of silver coinage, would be
legal tender for all public and private
debts, they have abandoned that trick,
and now place their main hope on the
alleged ground that the democrats are
free traders and anarchists.

grieved and shockingly surprised
to learn by this evenings GA

of their cousin, General Lees son.
Robert, and his nephew, General Fitz
are for what the plntocrats call the
''sound money" and against the peo-
pies ticket, that was fairly nominated
by the regular national democratic con-
vention, composed of delegates elected
by themselves. The cousins suppo-
sition respecting the action of the

ton respecting General Fitz Lee is in

tempting to bring the boilers back into

disaster. But their effort will be in
vain. The Southern democrat who

CARD FROM MIR. BLACKBOARD.
70 the Editor Of the Aterandrla Gazette
In an editorial Thursday evening in
regard to the support of Mckinley by
nv friend, Mr.. c. q. Lee, of Fairfax,
occurs the following paragraph:
"He and three of his neighbOrs published a
card in the GAZETTE two months ago to the
effect that though they had taken part in the
democratic primaries, they would not follow
Mr.. Cleveland's good advice, given when he
was the nominee of the national democratic
convention-abide by the arbitramcnt Of such
conventions.
AS one of the four persons who sign
ed the card referred to, | desire to say
that, as matter of fact, none of us
chad taken part in the democratic pri-
maries,n and there was no statement
to that effect IN the card. Greatly as
we honor Mr.. Cleveland and his
counsels generally, we decline in this
instance to "abide by the arbitrament"
of "a national democratic convention"
We prefer now to do as Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan said in advance that
he would do a e., bolt, if the conven.
ton adopted such platform as to sil
yer as he considered hostile to the best
interests of the country.
