POLITICAL.

Bedford county yesterday Instructed
her twenty-five delegates for Montague,
thus increasing the attorney generals
lead.
The democrats Of Augusta county
aud Staunton adopted strong resolu'
tons indorsiug Lieut.. Gov. Echols, for
whom the thirty-five delegates were In.
structed. This puts Echols in third
place, with fortv-six votes, while Mar
shall has but twenty Eight. Montague
has 1872 votes and Swanson 152.
Mr.. Swanson spoke In Danville,
where Mr.. Montague had big meeting
Friday night, and Mr.. Montague adj
dressed the democrats of Lynchburg,
where the Congressman on Saturday
night made the most aggressive speech
OF the campaign. Mr.. Swanson spoke
to perhaps 5000 people. Mr.. Swanson
went straight for the candidacy OF Mr..
Montague. He was very sarcastic In
speaking OF his position regarding the
machine, and claimed that the attorney
general was q machiue man of the first
tyne. He said: ~ announce him ss
the machine candidate of Virginia. AS
6pg as he brags on himself,
II will keep silent, but when be

He asserted that Mr.. Montague had
used the school superintendent ap-
poiutments az prize to his friends,
which be gave them to understand
thew were to receive. He claimed that

got snap Judgment by notifying bis sup
porters privately OF the time and place
Of meeting, and then with scarcely a
| weeks notice had met and secured the
delegates. He said that Mr.. Montague
l had denounced the democratic party 10
| bis charges of corruption, and asked
| WHY he had not exercised his privilege
as attorney general In prosecuting those
who were guilty. All republican
would have to do would be to defeat
| him at the polls with his own charges
against the democratic party. AS to
Martin being his boss, he cited three
cases 10 which he had opposed Martin,

ton started which revealed the hiding
place of knives, jimmies, files, chisels,
saws and other implements, a con-
vict who had had y fight with another
convict, In spirit OF revenge first re-
vesled part of the plans. There we're
four life men and seven twecty-year

John BROWN and Men OF the Ora
mite and Iron" was the subject OF o
sermon delivered by Rev. John Van
Schaick, jr. at the Church OF Our
Father in Washington on Sunday, be-
fore the Union Veteran Legion. The
services were In commemoration Of
John Brown, who gained unenvisble
notoriety by attempting to cause q
negro insurrection and was caught and
hanged. Among other things the
speaker said
There Is no one In our history whose
name is more honored, whose influence
ia broader than that OF this gaunt,
grIzzled man of the granite and the
iron. The spirit that sent the Pill.
qrims across the Atlantic in the May
flower, John Brown inherited from his
rugged, indomitable forefathers In that
little band. When he gathered his
family together, took down the old
Bible, invoked the Divine blessing, &C.
tuated, as he thought, by the Holy
Spirit he pledged them ell to eternal
hatred of human bondage. The granite
rocks which jut out here and there
through the fresh beautiful foliage OF
the springlime at Harper's Ferry are
not more enduring than the memory Of
him whose sacrifice for the bondmsn
has lighted them all up with beauties
nature never painted there. Every
thing In that old town speaks OF John
Brown. The Potomac singing its deep
toned song at the foot of the oluf; the
Shenandoah coming with hurried step
from the heart OF that Virginia which
slew him; grass and flowers, and trees
and birds, everything chants one re-
frsiu. They might cut and slash his
face with sword and saber thrust, pierce
him through and through with rife
and musket balls, hang him high 10 the
cir with o rope around his neck, tum-
BILE him into Q box, bury him In the
earth, something there was about him,
DOR time nor chance could touch; some.
thing neither Governor nor Sheriff
could reach; something Lee and his
soldiers never captured and imprisoned,
and that was his splendid soul.
Speotatum admissl =? So. What q
dissertation of language and nature,
especially when the latter Is made to
sing the praises Of an old grey.headed
murderer His soul may be marching
on, but II he carried into the other
world the notions he cherished here be
surely found q sad contrast between bis
system OF morals and that enuncisted
on the Mount of Olives. John Brown
was no better than Bsrabbas, and how
any follower of the meek and lowly
Nszsrene can draw such pictures OF Q
blood-thirsty fanatic is hard to under
stand. But in these days Of sensational
preaching We are surprised at nothing
