he MISCONDUCT of The war and referred

the misconduct of the war and referred
to many things characteristic OF the
misrule of the republican party in the
past few years. He said the people OF
Loudoun stood upon the Chicago plat.
form aud heartily endorsed every plank
in it. He predicted that in 1900 it would
take more than $14,000,000 to corrupt
the country. Twice that amount may
be found necessary, while defeat may
follow, at the polls,
Mr.. James r. Cation was the next
speaker. He said the democratic party
had ever been pre-eminently right. The
issues set forth by the party in 1896 de-.
manded argument, but had been met
by subteiuges. Mr.. Cation in lucid
and succinct manner dissected the re-
publican methods, especially regarding
the currency and the Encouragement
of the war. His speech was greatly
relished.
Mr.. F. E. Anderson followed. He,
too, gave a resume of the issues which
confronted the country at the last cleo
ton, and said that in spite of defe ction
elsewhere the action of boilers, etc.,
the old city of Alexandria had rolled
up majority OF $40 for William Jen-
nings Bryan. The party had been sold
out and betrayed then, but in 1900
Mark Hanna and William Mckinley
would receive their quietus. Mr. An
derson was frequently applauded.
Mr.. T. g. Pitcher, of Fauquier, was
the next speaker. His remarks were
humorous and highly enjoyed. He
said it was the first time he had ever
faced an Alexandria audience, though
he had been coming here all his life. 1t
was square town and all its people
were square. Mr.. Pitcher said it was
too late for him to make an extended
spsech Che did not reach the hall until
nearly 10 o'clock), and he therefore
would not refer to any of the issues
which confronted the party. Mr.. Rix-
ey, he said, had virtually no opposi-
ton. There were, he had been told, two
fake candidates in the field from Alex
andria. They probably wanted to let
people know they were living, as nc
one seemed to know them, and it was
presumed they were from the Philip
pine islands. 1t was rather early fol
aspirants for Congressional donors from
those benighted regions to be springng
up. MIR. Pitchers speech was short
He spoke in an easy and humorous
manner, and his happy filings brought
forth much applause.
The meeting adjourned at 1915. Let
tiers were read from Hon. E. E. Mere
ditb, Capt. J. E. Willard and prominent
gentlemen in the district regretting
their inability to be present.

GEN. FITZ. LEE AND THE SEN
ATORSHIP.

In speaking of Gen. Lee having re-
iterated his intention of being a candi-
date COR the senatorship, the Richmond
Dispatch says: General Lee has said
he will canvass every county before the
election of members Of the Legislature
next fall. He and his friends will work
to have candidates instructed to vote
for him for the Senate. Whether he
will get a majority is to be the great
question in Virginia politics in 1899.
General Lees chief opponent will, of
course, be Senator Thomas s. Martin,
though he may not be the only one.
Mr. R. Walton Moore, of Fairfax, has
already announced his candidacy. At
| torney. General Montague has not yet
done SO, but there are many people
who would like to see him wearing the
togs of Senator from the Old Do
minion. There may be other candi-
dates, but it is no disparagement Of
anybody to say that at present, at any
rate, Lee and Martin are far in the fore
front so far as all other aspirauts are
concerned.
Senator Martin has been very active
in Virginia politics this year, and he is
said to have made many friends. He
has spoken in various counties of the
State and his manner of presenting
democratic doctrine has always won
the attention and the appliance of the
crowds.
a letter from Richmond says: THE
Senatorial situation iu Virginia is be.
coming very much complicated It
has been generally understood ever
since General Lee was defeated by
Senator Martin that he was candidate
when Senator Martins term expired.
Then came the announcement recently
that General Lee would, in all proba-
bility, not be candidate. Then there
was boom of Hon. R. Walton Moore
for the honor, coupling the names of
Hon. ]. Hoge Tyler and Hon. Taylor
Ellyson for the Office. General Lee
was seen on Sunday by newspaper
man and again avowed himself an as
pirsnt. Mr.. William &. Jones, of the
First District, is also said to be in the
hands of his friends, and with General
Lee out of the race, he will give Mr..
Martin more trouble than all other
candidates combined. The fight for
United States Senate has already com
menced in this city, the friends of one
of the candidates having approached
we'll known and influential man and
asked him to be candidate for the
legislature in his interest. 1t is under
stood that others have been approached
on the same subject, but, so far as
known, none have agreed to be candi-
dates for the legislature in the interest
Of any candidate.

GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE is reported
to have said, "I'm sorry I can't be in
Havana before General Blanco sails for
Spain. I would like to be present to
give him parting salute" Like some
of his previous quoted remarks in rela-
ton to Cuban matters, this can hardly
be true, and is discredited by the Gen
erals real friends. A man thoroughly
qualified for the position he holds
doesn't talk that way. Though the
toughs of Havana did salute" him
when he sailed from that port, General
Blanco certainly did not, and cannot
be held responsible for their conduct.
Why then, should he express a desire
to salute, him?

WHY ALL this backing and filling"
about the conquered provinces? Spain
can make no resistance to any indignity
or outrage that may be attempted upon
her. She is utterly powerless and has
no friends who will take her part
against her powerful conqueror. She
has given up Porto Rico and Cuba
without recompense, and will give up
the Philippines also if they be demand
ed, as she is defenseless. All the delay
aud expense therefore, attending the
Seizure of her possessions: to many
intelligent people, seem Incompetent
sible. A highwsymsn having felled his
victim, doesn't parley with him before
taking his pocketbook.

is q large Southern colony in New
York, and such Observation-Disclosures
az this should be sufficient of itselfalone
to induce, even those members of it
who deserted their kith and kin two
years ago, to vote with their old friends

credit upon his reiterated assertions to
the effect that the Spanish so'called

As self preservation is the first law OF
nature, the white people of North Car
dina, in order to preserve themselves,
have determined to submit no longer to
negro domination and the intolerable
state of affairs that, from the nature OF
the case, must result from such con-
dition. Statutory laws should, of course,
be observed, but they can't be expect
ed TO override those OF nature. The
world over, the white, is superior to
the black, race, and it must be so in
North Carolina, as it is everywhere
else.

SAToLLI AND THE POPE "A dispatch from
Washington in connection with the rumor
that Cardinal satclli is now in disfsvor with
the Pope, says it is due to a discovery the
Cardinal made after having an intimate nc.
quaintsnce with Archbishop Keane. that Sa-
tollis private representations to Rome about
the church and its leaders in this country
were at variance with the real facts. 1t was
generally believed that the resignation of
Keane es rector of the Catholic University
was requested by the Pope through the in
fuence of satolli, and this impression was
heightened when it was declared By high
official when Keane left for Europe that
"Keane will never come back to America
again" That Kesne's ideas were not objec.
tionable to the Pope was proven by the fact
that he did come back, and his ideas on both
visits appeared TO be more vigorous than ever
regarding the proper direction of the church
in this country.

The Post Leads, as Usual.

II is matter of general comment that
The Pittsburg Post leads all its c0ntem-
poraries in the printing of the news, and
it has maintained its reputation la the
past few weeks while the war clouds
were gathering. The Post not only pub
fishes the best and most accurate reports,
bat gives them in the most logical and
attractive style.
In this respect. as in all others, The
Post took the lead. Envious competitors
have ridiculed The Post for its up to-date
and original makeup, bat one by one they
are dropping into the procession and inn
itating The Post in typographical app ear-
ance. The Post is glad to see this, and
will endeavOr TO set lively pace, as it
always has done.
Not only has The Pittsburg Post led in
the publication of domestic news, but it
has all the news sources Of Europe guard,
ed by watchful, trained correspondents.
The result is apparent.
Keep your eye on The Post when war
breaks out II Will continue to the high
standard already set up. All the news
all the time, carefully edited and attract
lively printed. Ask your newsdealer for

Of the Rodjys.
The first witness called was Miss Minnie
Reager. alias Annie Stewart, who said
her home was formerly in Blairsville,
but is now at the residence of John
Roddy. in the Fourteenth Ward, this
city. She swore that George Rager, aged
'wenty-one years. told her not long ago
that be, Harry o. lara, and another man
were the persons who murdered David
Berkey on the night Of June ?. 1896.
A letter received in March by Attorney
Ccffroth, of Somerset, from an unknown
party was placed in evidence. 1t stated
that the writer and two others were the
persons who murdered Mr.. Berkey, and
that they intended to put an end soon to
some other Somerseters. Miss Reager
recognized the handwriting as that Of
George Reager, who she said was either
he's brother OF cousin, she was not suro
which.
Attorney Colborn asked the witness if
she wrote the letter printed about the
innocence of the Roddy boys in the
Johnstown Democrat some time ago, and
she answered, "No." She said that J.
a. Blough. a reporter of that paper,

year."
The Berkey outrage was committed
