GOOD REASONS WHY.

There are good and sufficient
reasons why Alexander Stellar
should be returned to the next
session of the General Assembly
of Virginia. One good reason is
that he has had an experience as
a Senator. He knows the workings
of the Senate, and is prepared
therefore, to devote himself at
once to whatever tasks NAV be
assigned him, or may necessary to
take up. In this respect he has
great advantages over a young
and inexperienced man, who
would be compelled to take a
great deal Of time to learn the
ways, means and customs Of the
Senate. He has weight and in
liuence. Being representative
man his opinion and advice will
be sought and respected by his
brother Senators. His thorough
business qualifications and intcg-
rlty is Il guarantee that what he
does will be done well, and for the
best interests of his constituents.
Everybody feels that Alex st. Clair
can be trusted to do what sound
Judgement and clear conscience
and experience shall dictate to be
best for the people whose repre-
sentative he shall be. For these
and other good reasons which
could be given, we believe the
voters OF the Third District will
cast their ballots on Nov. 2nd for
their friend and countryman,
Alex Stellar.

The WAY IT DIES.
Enthusiastic Crowds Can still Listen
to Silver Speeches.

Ehthusfastic Crowds Can still Listen
to Silver Speeches.
Let me tell you the way "the silver
craze" is dying" in this part of the,
country.
AT Cloverdale, recently, there was an
immense crowd, nearly 10000 people,
assembled to hear money talk. Hon.
w. V. Rocker, silver republican, ex-
Gov. Matthews, ind Hon. II. C. Bell, exl
deputy commissioner of pensions, were
advertised TO speak. Mr.. Bell led off
In speech of an hour and half. Mr..
Rocker followed, speaking another hour
and half. Gov. Matthews could not
come. But, as the vast assemblage was
hungry for more free silver talk, Mr..
Bell was called on to makes second
speech to the same audience. He made
1t, and 1t was lively one. For IN hour
he poured hot shot into the ranks of the
goldbugs, and heated the blood of the
silver men to the boiling point. They
were very enthusiastic over his first
speech, but "went wild" over the Sec
ond. 1t was something new-two free
silver speeches the same day, from the
same fellow, to the same crowd. And
those men will vote us friend Bell
talked. No mistake about it.-Silver

held, for some reason, and when tho
Democrats met, Mr. Meade. tho Re.

i'll attendance. After addresses by
the Hon. A. St Clair, j. w. Hicks,
and others there were loud calls for
Meade, the Republican, though 10
division Of time had been asked fer
by them.
MIR Meade made the wonderful
River and lIarbor speech referred
to in another column. This speech
was replied to OF course, and the
folly of it fully shown up.
1t is said that all the speeches
were good, with this one exception.
Mr. }. W. Hicks, especially distin-
gushing himself on the occasion.
His address clearly indicated his

The impression is being made
by Republican papers in certain
quarters that no interest whatever
is being taken i'll the campaign.
We believe altogether differently.
and that this impression is being
made in order to throw democrats
oil their guard. In almost every
district the Republicans have made
nominations, and where they have
not they are fusing with the Gold
Democrats, Populists, or any other
party possible, in order to defeat
the Democratic ticket. 1t stands
the Lamb faction in hand to make
n strong showing, as q bid for the
endorsement Of the administration.
Let Democrats be OH the watch.

EDITOR G. V. NEWS:
The election is coming and if VIC

a disgrace, expense and failure.
The best platform ever before
the people is an honest man. II
our men are honest and competent
We can rest easy without any
platform, instructions, or articles
of faith to guide them.
If we put a dishonest man on an
honest platform that does not
make the rascal honest, nor dc
what we put him in to do. There.
fore there is nothing in the party
one prctends to espousc. have
said many times that we do not
belong TO parties if we are free;
because the parties all belong to
us.
Any one who ties himself to a
party is q servant, he is not free.

to a fraud and trickster who

ing for the best men who pass
good laws and execute them.

best man, because | know an hon.
est republican will serve me and
the State better than a dishonest
democrat.
When we fail to uphold good
ness, good men and good laws, we
mvalIdatc our own character. |
have only heard one white man
swear that lie would not vote foi
y. Stellar. lie said he knew Mr.
Stellar was an honest man, no
better man ever lived TO his
knowledge, but he (thc voter was
born Il republican aud could not
vote n democratic ticket. That
settled it.
The same argument would cause
him 10 vote for Il devil againt y
saint, and so bctray our country
and us into the hands of evil ones
and dcspoilers. There is not Il
republican in the State who will
say Il word against 4. Stellar
because he knows there is nothing
against him. He is one Of the few
whose word is as sacred as his
bond; not satisfied with doing the
most good to the greatest mum Der
he is willing TO 80 further aud dc
the most good to all mankind. In
Pennsylvania when the republic
cans found that they could honor
themselves by voting for Il great
and good man, democrat, like Pat
terson, they did so. In Ohio they
chose Campbell, democrat, COVER.
nor in same way.
Two years ago the republicans
in This district knowing that A.
Stellar was an honest and compc.
tent man, who would grace the
chair as governor, or even prcsi-
dent of the United States, voted
for him as State Senator aud
elected him. and all who did So
will ever rejoice. Again we can
all unite and support him, know.
ing there is not Il better man in
the State.
1t is also consolation that our
democratic nominee for governor
is a gentleman and so worthy OF
our respect and suffrage.
Yours for the best man,

NEW YoRK SroOK MARKET.

New York, March 11.-To-day's market
was remarkable for its frmness OF tone
in face OF the specific dullness of the pro-
ceedings. With the exception of Il slight
awakening to animation about the de-
livery hour, the trading was almost dor
mant The volume of the dealings was
not only small but was distributed very
meagerly, n few leading shares absorbing
all but a small portion of the trading.
There are about 200 shares whose prices
are quoted and transactions in which are
recorded on the stock exchange. or this
number there were only 81 in which
there were dealings in full share lots
to-day, The total number Of shares sold
numbered less than 10000 and over S0,-
600 of these were shares Of IL leading
stocks In view Of the very favorable
conditions OH the foreign exchange to-
day and the subsistence Of uneasl7eSs
lest the Cretam question should emhroil
the powers, it is necessary to look for
some other explanation Of to-day's Stag-
nation than a European war scare. There
are doubtless several causes still oparat-
ing to restrain speculation, most potent
being the cautious conservation born Of
long period Of reverse and depression.
There Is also a disposition to wall for
the assembling Of the new Congress III
extra session. and for it to manifest its
character and intentions There is
feeling in Wall street that the extra
session may prove to be long drawn
out and the Scnate's attitude toward q
tariff bill is felt to be an uncertain
quantity.
Manhattan was the leader Of the mar
ket to-day and showed decided strength
which was probably due to recovering.
The high price attained by Tobacco
brought out some realizing sales with
reaction in the price Of 13s, but the stock
subsequently recovered u cent
The undertone OF firmness which was
a feature of the market all day was mani
fest at the close, which was strong.
The bond market was more active, with
some Of the usually inactive liens rising
sharply, notably Houston and Texas
Central debenture 6's, which gained ..
andw CHESAPEAKE and Ohio, r. and A.
Division, lists consOls, 112 per cent. The
general market ruled firm with the sDecu-
latiye issues shade higher. Govern
ments We're quite, but desidedly firm.
The sales were $4,000
