FOR CONGRESS:
William F. Rhea,
OF BRISTOL.
Still HUnTIHg.

1t is clearly evident that the Repub-
leans Of the District, and particularly
OF this county, are doing, or attempting
TO do, great deal OF effective work in
the campaign this fall. Col. Slemp has
been here on a quiet canvas, and was
followed by his son, Mr.. c.. b. Slemp,
who interviewed the leaders OF the
party in different parts OF the county.
At several parts OF the precincts Of the
county influential workers, (in one case
administer Of the gospel were present
on the days OF registration and before.
urging every Republican to register.
The Tazewell Republican is issuing
large numbers Of extra copies, and
every effort is being put forth i'm "A
quiet way, to encompass Judge Rhea' s
reelection. Strange as it may seem it
is true, that a chief source Of attack
upon Judge Rhea is the New Constitu-
ton of Virginia.
1t will be difficult, we think, TO con
vince intelligent voters that there is a
vital connection between Judge Rhea's
election or defeat and the New Consti-
tuition. " hat effect the election or de.
feat Of Congressman Rhea can have
upon the new instrument sensible peo-
pie fail to comprehend. The Congress
ofthe United States has no fight against
the disfranchisement OF the negro vote.
and should Col Slsmp go to Congress
as a champion OF repeal OF the consti-
tuition of Virginia on this account, his
most violent attacks would fall upon
unrespOnsive ears. However. a Wig
orous fight is being made, and it is
well that no chances should be taken.
Let every Democratic speaker and
workers camp on the trail Of Col.
Slemp and his allies In every precinct
in the District.

Judge Williams on the Situation

Judge S. w. Williams was in Blue
field this week, and when seen bv a
NEWS reporter was asked what he
thought Of the political situation in the
Ninth District He said: THE Ninth
is all right. The people will heartily
approve the New Constitution when
they fully understand it. The Demo-
Gratis will keep faith with the people
white and black. We promised TO
disiranchise the negro and take care of
the white man, and we will do both "
When asked about Rhea's election he
said: "There is but one possible danger.
and that is the indifference OF the Demo-
Gratis in failing to register. 1.-THE same
per cent OF the voters is registered i'm
other counties as has been registered
in Wythe County, it will only be a ques-
ton of majorities, which will run into
thethousands. There was voted against
me in the District in 1886 over 1000
negro votes, and there has been voted
against Judge Rhea in former cam
paigns, at least 5000 negro votes. There
will not be ten per cent Of this vote
registered. This, alone shows that if
is only a question OF how many Demo-
Gratis register and vote as to what
Rhea's majority will be. Our politics
in Virginia is in formative and trans
itory state, and it is the duty Of every
Democrat to register and vote, SO as TO
land the party from the old into the
new order OF things" Judge Williams
goes on the stump next Monday.

RADF0RD NEWS.
The Registration OF Voters Com
pteted.

Radford, Va, September 27.-The
board of registrars for the city Of Rad
ford, consisting Of Col. J. H. Washing
ton, Mr.. Mark Reid and Mr.. ]. H.
Bane, West ward, and Mr.. G. c. Cald-
well, Mr. /. ID. Keadle and Mr.. w. ].
Linkous. East ward, completed their
labors Wednesday, and the new elect
crate, purged Of the ignoran. and in
different vote, now numbers Ala, OF
whom 1872 are i'm the West ward and
252 in East Radford.
OF this number seven are negro es.
one out OF three who applied i'm the
West ward being registered, and six
out OF possible dozen in East Rad
ford.
About eight or ten whites in the west
ward and ten or twelve in the East
ward were rejected, the understanding
clause proving their Waterloo.
Nearly 200 former voters failed ia
make application, some on account OF
indifference, others through fear of
being turned down. As result. the
number OF men in the West ward eligi-
bic to vote is only about 90 per cent;
in the East ward, about so per cent OF
those who east their ballot i'm the Nav
election.
or the 252 voters on East Radford's
new roster, 1873 are Democrats and 70
Republicans, thus giving the Demo.
Gratis ll6 mojority. No estimate has
been made of the comparative number
of Democrats and Republicans in the
West ward who still have the right n
vote, but Democrats are confident OF q
safe majority. The West ward has
always gone Republican, but the East
ward and the town, as a whole. has
generally been carried by the Demo
Gratis, and with the elimination of the
negro a large Democratic majority for
RadfOrd is assured.
Ii is claimed by some that the town
will go "dry" as a result Of the new
registration. Others, and among this
number are many of the very best cit
liens OF Radford, affirm that the har-
keepers have nothing to fear.

LIVES SAVED 81 JUMPING.
Crews OF Both Engines m North
Fork Wreck Had Marrow Escape.
telegraph, Saturday. }

An ugly Height wreck occurred a
short distance east OF North Fork
about 10 O'Clock. Friday mig t, and that
no lives were lost seems little short OF
miraculous.
At the scene OF the accident there are
three tricks. A west-bound freight was
standing there when an east-bound ex-
ira pulled up TO the crossover and
backed in to let time freight, No. sc
pass. The brake rigging on car of
the extra got down and derailed a coke
rack. The engine was backing with
such speed that it could not be stopp-
ed until about ten coke racks had been
damned into the engine attached TO the
time freight.
Engine 216 was almost completely
demolished, and engine 245 was badly
damaged. The coke racks were piled
on top Of one another, and one OF them
was hoisted on top of engine 2l6.
The crews Of the two engines escap-
eel death only by jumping.
The west track was badly torn up
and though the Vivian wreck car was
hurried TO the scene, the debris was
not cleared away until daybreak. Pas
senger train No. 3 was delayed about
five hours.

GROVER CLEvELAND'S VIEW


New York, Oct. 15.-To n repre-
sentative of the Evening Post who
asked him his views in regard to the
outlook for and the duty Of the de-
mocracy in the approaching congress
sional elections, ex-Presdent Grover
Cleveland said: ut seems to me that
il the democracy is really In earnest
II cannot fail largely to increase Its
representation in the next congress
but in order to do so | think that
there must be q constant and stall
wart insistence upon the things
which are recognized by all to be true
democratic doctrines. OF course, by
far the most important of these Is
tariff reform. On this issue ! an
satisfied that the democracy Is face
to face with great opportunity
All Of the signs of the times point to
a recognition, far beyond all party
lines, of the benefits which would
accrue TO the people by q readjust'
ment Of the tariff, and It would be
worse than folly for the party under
the stress Of any temptation OF
yielding to any allurement to permit
this to be subordinatcd to or over
Swallowed by any other issue"

SECRETARY sHAw'S ADDRESS.
The Head Of the Nations Treasury Talk
About the Tariff to the Republic-
ans 1T Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 15.--Secretary
Shaw, Of the treasury department,
was the attraction last night at the
republican ratification meeting at
Music hall. He was introduced by
John F. Ramsey, prominent local
banker, the chairman Of the meeting,
and said in part:
"bur democratic friends are ever
extending sympathy to the oppressed
taxpayer. They have more than once
made campaign upon the naked is
sue-the tariff is tax. Again and
again they have declared that there
should be no more revenues collected
than are necessary for the mainte-
nance of the government, economi-
cally administered. | am not sur
prised that our friends wonder at the
apparent ease with which, under a
protective policy, revenues are pro-
vided. The secret is in the consuming
capacity of the American people
Whenever the product of American
labor is protected from competition
with cheaper foreign labor, the Amer
lean laborer consumes; and whenever
the American laborer consumes, the
American farmer finds ready mar
ket for the products of his farm;
and whenever the American farmer
has q market, he in turn becomes a
consumer and the American manufac'
turer also finds a market, and he in
turn employs labor, and so the cir
cult is completed and repeated
Wages, food, raiment, markets, fur
naces ablaze, savings deposited

Why did we not import? Because
we did not consume. And why die
