The Staunton Spectator thus COM
ments upon an objectionable affront to
section of the 6. o. p:
There was an important meeting Of
Republicans held in the Police Court
room in this city Saturday. the object
and results of which have not become
known to us. On seeing them come out
very inquisitive and rather rude per-
son asked us IL they had all paid their
fines. or would they have to go to the
chain gang. We regretted his mistake
greatly and corrected it as soon as pos
sible."
A great many Republican papers and
pdlilpHlelS are coming into THIS sec
ton from various sources. and making
to the voter various shrewd and insid-
ious arguments in favor of the reten-
ton of VIM. Mckinley in the White
House. To more effectually disguise
their real form and motive, they are
being sent out under the guise of com
mercial records" business mems esti-
mates" manufacturers digests," ETC.,
etc.-Northern Neck News.
In short. the same sort of Campaign
of education" carried on in 1885, has
been begun this year. with the active
aid of the Mckinley postmasters.
Nearly all the Southside Virginia
papers criticise the appointment of
Judge Phlegar to succeed Judge RELY.
The Blackstone Courier makes typical
comment:
There is no denying the fact that
the Democrats of Southside Virginia
were very much surprised and rather
chagrined that the Governor should
have given no more consideration to
their section and their petitions than
was shown them. This is felt equally
by his friends as his enemies. and NOT
without reason"

ORGANIZE CAMPAIGN CLUBS.

1t is only a matter Of two months
now until the Presidential and Con-
gressional elections. The political pot
is beginning to boil in earnest in many
parts of the country. The Democrats
of some districts in Virginia are ac-
lively at work. 1t is tine that the
Democrats of the Second district
should be UP and doing. Campaign
clubs should be Systematically organ
lied all over the district, and cvo.'y
Democrat should enroll himself rs a
member of one or the other of them.
We would repeat: nothing must be
taken for granted in the district this
year. Reliance for victory must not
be placed in anything save straight
forward. straight-from- the shoulder
systematic and well-orgonized cam
paign. Two months is a short enough
time for n campaign of this sort, and
no time should be lost in getting it
under way. This district must elect
Maynard to Congress and the Demo-
Gratis of it can not for very shame af-
ford to depend upon other districts to
roll up majority for the Bryan and
Stevenson electors.
We note with satisfaction that many
of our weekly contemporaries in the
district are taking up this matter of
urging organization upon the Democ-
racy. They can not do better than to
keep up the lick. The Republicans
have no monopoly of apathy. In every
campaign there is more or less of IL
among Democrats. There is nothing
like organization to reduce it to a min
imum. There will not long be apathy
or indifference in any district that has
live. working Democratic club.
Special efforts are being made at Or
ganization all over the country this
year, and the Democrats of this dis
trct should bring themselves in touch
with the National organization, set
ting n good example to the Democrats
of other States and deriving for them
selves the inspiration and advantage
to be had from contact with a large
mass of earnest workers.

undeniably brighter. For q time the
