have caused the average editor to swear.
but the good rules prevailing in this
office barred such an exhibition and
with willing hands after six hours Of
most laborious work the form and all
the advertisements were reset and tho
paper appears as usual today. Many Of
the subscribers were furnished with
half paper yesterday and this one side
was equal to the full sheet OF some other
papers that have appeared in this city.
The editor OF this paper acknowledges
the receipt OF an invitation to attend the
smoker of the Cripple Creek District
Press Club. The invitation among other
things, has the following: "A special

We see from our exchanges that the

recently given a splendid banquet by the
people of his town and county. We are
not at all surprised that Mr. Jeffries is
popular with his people. He is genial,
intelligent gentleman, with the happy
faculty of making friends wherever he
may go. He made numbers OF them in
his canvass OF this county, but through
the action of our county executive com
mittee they were not even accorded the
poor privilege of expressing a preference
for him in the county primaries and our
delegates with utter disregard Tor the
wishes of Mr.. Jeffries' friends in this
county east its vote practically as unit

very clever, nice gentleman, never took
the trouble to visit the county during the
campaign and is absolutely unknown to
the masses of our people. -Loudoun

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER :. 1901
Weather forecast for Fred
erickSburg and Vicinity.
Fair Saturday.

THE brave and splendid nominee OF the
Democratic party-Mr. Andrew Jackson
Montague who certainly, when age is
considered, is the most profound orator
in the State, might rivet and hold spell
hound listening thousands while he dis
cussed the things that relate to the ma
terial advancement and prosperity of all
the people: and yet, Hampton Hoge, by
resOrting to sharp tactics and ridiculous
story telling for both of which he is
widely famous might capture the I'M
thinking masses and set them To shout
ing for his side.
The camEaignXill - one OF much bril-
liant stump-speaking on the Democratic
side, but there is hardly any possibility
of Joint debates between Messrs. MOnta-
que and IIoge. While it is said by his
friends that no man lives in Virginia be
fore whom Jack Montague would tremble
in Joint debate, yet il has for years been
the policy of the Democratic managers to
discourage Joint meetings for the reasons
given above, and because, especially In
East Virginia, the Democrats furnish the
major part of the audiences and start out
confronted by the fact that no amount OF
argument. however reasonable or con
vincing. would tend TO makea single con
vert from the ranks OF the opposition.
The foregoing are extracts from
political sparks in last Sunday 5
Richmond Times. ltwillbe a matter
OF much regret if the people Of Nir-
ginia are denied the privilege OF Joint
debates when there is such splendid
materialfor thefray. Thearguments
used i'm the above extracts are hardly
tenable ground why we should not
have these debates. II the Democrats
furnish the larger audience and refuse
debate they must fear that more
accessiOns will be made by the enemy
than by themselves, and are therefore
afraid to trust their people TO hear
argument from the other side. 1t Is
also a mistake to say that the OppO-
sition audiences will come out deter
mined not to becOnvinced. The class
of white people who are leaning TO
Republicanism in the State is far dill
ferent from what it was a few years
ago. Then. too. we are told by Sen
ator Glass newspaper that the negro
is leaving the Republican party and
is fiocking to Democratic ranks. If
this be true let the colored people
come out and learn their chosen DEM
ocratic doctrine and what would
more cOnduce TO this effect than to
announce a Joint debate, orto inform
them that a Republican orator was
on hand to speak and divide time?
With the utmost candOrweprotes
that there is no manly reason why
Col. Hoge's invitations should be re-
jected. This thing OF making charges
against a candidate or party and
then refusing 60 come to taw when
challenged should not, and we believe
will not be slightly entertained by
Virginians. who above all on Gods
green earth are disposed to tote fair,
and always want to see the under dog
given a show.

THE NOMINEES HERE.

Two men strong men, able men,
popular men have been nominated
respectively blythe two leading polit-
zeal parties as candidates for the
House of Delegates from this city
and Spotsylvania. Mr.. Biscoe, the
Democratic nominee, is a resident OF
the county. is a member of one OF the
leading families there and is repre-
sentative farmer. Mr. Warden, the
Republican nominee, is Northern
man who came to this city to reside
some years ago; buying one of our
finest adjacent farms and he is stead
lily improving it and showing some
of our people the way to progressive
and scientific farming. He is Il resi-
dent of this city and was but lately
elected President OF our business
Mems Association. Mr.. Warden is
also man of considerable means.
We are not in possession of single
fact that will initiate against either
of these gentlemen's candidacy The
canvass, perforce, must be clean and
healthful, and it follows that only the
momentous issues now confronting
the State will enter into the fight.
Both candidates were nominated the
same day, at the same place and by
respectable citizens of the city and
county. Each was II unanim0uSnom-
nation, and the boom of each was

WILL STEAL THEIR THUNDER.

That military oracle who said that
the art of winning victories in war
was to git thar fust with the most
men" left a short but invaluable
text book behind for the student OF
political or military history. The
national Republican party has sell
dom failed to use it, and profit by it,
while the Democratic party in the
nation has been almost as certain to
ignore it. Whenever the Democratic
party found a good thing they were
sure to fall out over it and soon drop
it, and when they finished rubbing
their eyes they found the Repubh-
cans i'm those discarded habilaments.
Equally true sit that when the Demo-
Gratis chased q chimera, and thought
they were embracing a substance, they
were 10th to let go, while their oppO-
nents have for forty years dropped
like "A hot potato anything that didn't
count for votes. These respective
qualities were APPLY shown by the

Gle on the espousal and abandonment

different lesson than the one we are
portraying.
Democracy won and Toasted OH a
victory wrought by tariff reform.
The Republicans lost by their high
protective stand. The Democracy left
its moorings and hied away to fancl-
full castles of white and shining metal.
They lost, and their views have sunk,
for all time perhaps, below the politi-
cal horizon. They are truly at sea,
sailing with every fair wind, no mat
ter from whence it blows, pride keep
ing them from steering back to the
safe and steadfast moorings OF tariff
reform. The Republicans see the OPP
portunity, and should they put
about" at once the Democrats would
find themselves neck-and-neck with
their politicalfoes in the race for this
issue. They are given every oppor-
tunity to recant and take up the only
live issue left to them, but it seems
that they will leave this to their
competitors to do. Truly they are
not Fastening to "git thar fust with
