THE SILVER QUESTION.
Fair Representation.

The Democratic party, like the Re
publican party, is divided on the silver
question, and it will be for the Nation.
al Democratic Convention at Chicago
to determine what the position of the
party on that question shall be, and it
cannot be determined by any one
State, but by the majority of all the
States. Some of the papers are de-
handing that the State Democratic
Convention, which will meet here in
June, should adopt a plank in its
platform on that question, and that
then the vote of the State in the
National Convention should be cast as
unit, which would be very wrong, as
it would deny presentation to nearly
half'of the Democrats of the State, and
do the party much damage. All the
Democrats silver men and sound
money men should be fairly repre-
scented in the Natioual Convention.

"Flamboyant and Stagey.n

Yost's Weekly in its issue of last week
reviewed the speech of the Hon. Harry
Tucker, on the Bayard resolutions, and
in doing SO accused Mr.. Tucker of
talking on subject beyond his depth,
and of being "famboyant and STACEY
Mr.. Tucker need not be troubled about
this. The Weekly does not waste its
shot on small game. The same ''flam-
boyant" writer has poured his wrath
full volleys upon many great heads,
even Gen. Grant when in the zenith of
his power, did not go unscathed. If
Mr.. Tucker did not amount to some
thing, or his remarks demand contra
diction, or their effect be felt to en-
danger republican pretensions, the
Weekly would no more have noticed
them than the verist worm that
crawls. When the Weekly praises a
Democratic Congressman his constitu
ents should forthwith seek another
representative.

HENRY GEEDING.

This christian gentleman, who was
formerly citizen of Augusta county,
died at his home in Albemarle on the
Goth inst, in the 10Th year of his age.
Mr.. Gooding was well known in this
county, when:he had wide circle of
friends who lament his death and sor-
row because they shall see his face no
more among them in the flesh. As a
citizen, both of Augusta and of Albe-
marie counties, he was respected by
every one. He was man of much in
telligence and possessed large store
of valuable information. Such u man
will be greatly missed. He leaves a
widow and five children to mourn their
loss But they, together with his
many friends, are comforted by the
fact that death did not find him unpre
pared. A christian friend and neigh
Dor writes that in his intercourse with
Mr.. Geeding he never saw one more re-
signed and re idy to meet death His
faith in Christ was apparently full and
satisfactory and he often expressed a
desire to depart aud be with Christ.
Mr.. Geeding was a member OF the
L ,shwillow, Presbyterian church at
Churchville, this county; with which
church he became connected while a
citizen of this county. Before his
death he left directions taat his re-
mains should be carried to his old
church, and that the funeral services
should take place there. These ser
vices were conducted agreeably to his
wishes at the church on last Friday by
the Rev. J. H. H. Winfree, pastor OF
the church. *x*

Col. D. V. Ruckman, who is feeding
about two hundred cattle, had the mis-
fortune few nights since of having
them run by dogs. Four dogs started
the cattle about IL o'clock at night and
ran them until three o'clock in the
morning, A. ". Lytton, who lives
near the pasture, heard them running
and took his gun and went to their
rescue, but finding it unsafe to get in
to the field, he had to keep along the
fence; and it was about an hour before
he could get shot. At the report of
the gun the dogs abandoned their
chase, but the cattle were SO near run
to death that they dropped in theil
tracks and were lying there the next
evening.

SOMETHING FOR THE "COLORED
BROTHER" TO CoNSIDER.--The State
Republican of Harrisonburg seems to
belong to the Lilly White" faction of
that party which has become tired,
not to say disguised, with the active
part negroes have heretofore taken in
the Republican party. In it's issue of
last Thursday, it says
I'm every county and city of Virgin
ia when the negro has been forced in
to leadership. the Republican party
has refrigerated until It has virtually
disappeared as political factor The
negro must depend upon the white
man to see that he has any. political
rights at ALL All observation and ex
perience demonstrates this. How
foolish then for any one to raise race
prejudice, and,undertake to build up
the Republican party in Virginia un-
der colored leadership We say this
because we are interested in the well
fare of all and are convinced that the
way to secure that is to select the best
white men and stand by them"
