MIXED POLITICS.

ratic rarty,it is only necessary to OK
A me he resolutions passed by the
two conventions upon the subjects
upon which the people are most H.
crested. The Rhodes convention
ndorsed the Chicago platform with
its free silver 10 to heresy and all
the other vogaries Of Altgeld and the
eaders of that combination conven-
ton. The Miley convention, on the
other hand, did the same thing.
The Rhoues convention passed O. a
resolution in favor of Tyler for United
States Senator.
The Miley convention passed res
olution endorsing Tyler for United
States Senator.
The Rhodes convention was opPos-
ed to the land grabber's law.
The Miley convention is also oppos-
cd to the land gabber's law.
The Rhodes convention nominated
MIR. Josiah Stickley, upon the above
platform as their candidate for the
House of Delegates
The Miley convention nominated
Mr.. J. L. Teller as their candidate
for the House OF Delegates, upon the
above platform.
OF course these gentlemen
will be expected to come be-
fore the people and discuss the great
issues involved III the contest. How
they will do it, 1t would be difficult to
say. They might alternate by Mr..
Fcler making the first speech at
one point, when Mr. Stickley could
respond by saying; "Gentlemen
them's my sentiments" and Mr.
Stickley could open the debate at the
next appointment and Mr.. Feller
respond: "Gcntlemen, thcm's my
sentiments" And then the voters
could determine how they would
vote.
The discussion will probably be
like that of the darkey and his master
The darkey said: "Me and Massa
had terrible 'spute down IN the
cornfeld. Massa said that squashe'
would grow better IN low ground
and | said so, too"
If the great issues involved are to
he decided by the personal appear
ance of the candidates, it will all he 2
matter oftaste. Mr.. Stickley is large
and portly, rather beyond middle age
and would be naturally clasSed as g
heavy weight. His hair shows that
| j, Las been frosted by many winters
lui he is an active energetic business
nan. He has had some experience
i'll taking care of his people in lii
service upon the Board ofSupervisors
HIS general manner would impress
one with the idea that he was a mal
of some import ance and would attract
the attention of a public assembly.
I Mr.. Teller, OH the other hand, ha
mot yet reached the meridian of life
He, in fact, is a young man and II
averdupois would not class with hi
competitor. He Is lighter in weight
taller, has longer legs and would Ger
tainly out wind his opponent in foo
f race, if the distance were great. Flo
several years he has been count,
Surveyor and if he can find the tru'
meridian in the local politics OF Shen
andoah county, he may be able Il
run a line in the direction Of Rich
mond.
AS these gentlemen stand Oh
the same platform, so for as regard
the issues before the people, it ma!
he difficult for democrats to decide
how TO vote. As far as we are con
ccmed, we could vote for either but
when we find staring us in the face
that rare combination of pieces o
timber cemented into the Chicago
platform and labeled democratic,
and are requested to endorse it by
voting for either, we must confess
that it produces such sickening sell
Sation, that it is exceedingly doubt
tul whether we can swallow it. We
snail wait patiently and learn whether
either of the candidates can sufficient.
ly sugar coat it to make it palatable.
