GOV. CHAS. T. O'EERRALL.

The death of Gov, Chas. 7. OFFER
rail-, which occurred at his home in
Richmond on Sept 22d, removes from
Virginia one of the most renowned
and chivalr0us of her citizens, one who
with heavy odds against him in early
life accomplished more than ordinary
men. Coming out of the Confederate
army with nothing but a record for
valOr and splendid s0ldiery, be began
life. The struggle be made then was
in keeping with the struggle he had
just pass ed through. both were full of
self sacrifices and heroism. His fellow
citizens began to honor him with their
confidence, he began TO prosper in the
profession of law which he had chosen,
he was soon called to the county court
bench Of his adopted county-Rock
ingham. Afterwards other positions of
less importance were thrust upon him
until he was elected to Congress from
his district. Here he served with dis
tinctiOn for six terms until he was
elected Governor of Virginia, and here
too he displayed the same qualities for
command over men, and for fulfiiiment
of duty he had displayed throughout
his career. He served his State hon.
orably and well. But about the close of
his term of governor be made one fatal
political mistake. He fell under the
blight of Grover Cleveland and the
gold standard, he left bis former party
associates and allied himself with the
gold element of his party. This error
Gov. O'Ferrall must have discovered
when too late, and must have cost him
deep and lasting regret. This took
him entirely out of the field for the U.
s. Senate or for Congress, either of
which positions he might haYe held
had he been in line at the close of his
gubernatorial term. Certainly, but for
this, be would have been most for
midable candidate against Mr.. Martin
six years ago, when the party was
earnestly seeking candidate and none
but Gov. Tyler offered. But in this
blight Gov. O'Ferrall was not alone,
and whilst he suffered with Carlisle,
and Wilson. and HOke Smith. and that
line of distinguished men who went to
oblivion, he displayed through it all
the same nobility of character that
was his heritage and shield in all he
did.
AS friend none was truer. Gentle,
manly, thoughtful of kindness, and
generous to fault, he made personal
friends and held them as in a wise.

FOR STATE SENATOR.
EDWARD ECHOLS.
FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
SILAS III. WALKER.
JOHN W. CHURCHMAN.
Different MORAL CODES.

1t may not have been noticed by all,
but it is nevertheless fact, that acts
performed by Republicans are often
held to be not only virtuous, indeed
holy. which if performed by Democrats
would be basely criminal. Start so late
as the campaign of 1896, and there never
was such an election held, MIR. Hanna
went into New York and personally
begged funds, which he knew and
which those contributing knew, were
intended to corrupt voters. At the
same time Chairman Jones of the Dem
Ocratic committee was denounced not
only for receiving money, but for al
lowing any of it to be used in the
campaign.
About that time it developed that
Senator Jones, the Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, own
ed some stock in the round cotton bale
trust, and if ever a man was damned
as criminal he was. The fact des-
troyed his efficiency as chairman and
defeated him for the Senate from Ar
kansas. AT the same time Mr.. Hanna
who was the Republican chairman,
was the president of many trusts. He
had stock in many more. He was re-
garded as trust magnate, and yet he
was 1.-THE holy of the holies," and 1t is
believed had he lived he, and not Mr..
Roosevelt, would be in the White
House today.
Senator Jones is the only Democratic
Senator who has ever been known to
own any trust stock and that owner
ship killed him politically, but Quay,
and Allison, and Depew, and Hale land
Platt, in fact all of them are heads of
trusts of some kind, and Depew was
sent directly to the senate to guard
railway interests, whilst Allison has
been placed there to guard the Nation
al Banks and the STANDARD Oil. Quay
was the tool of the Pennsylvania Ry.,
whilst Platt is the head of an express
company. Suppose these men were
Democrats, does anybody believe they
could be given control over the peo-
pie and over the United States Treas
ury2 Never.
1t is not worth while to individual,
lie more particularly. The Democrats
of this nation cannot violate decency,
and their constituents not call them to
task. but Republicans can; they indeed
can do boastfully what would be de-
MED Democrat, they can ever bring
about Credit Mobeliers," ''Star
Route frauds, they can serve rotten
beef to soldiers, they can pile graft and
corruption mountain high in every
department of the nation, and so soon
as few of the poor indefensible devils
like the Groffs are convicted, the wrong
has been righted and the matter blows
over. 1t is pleasing to know that if
such acts were committed by Demo
Gratis they would be wiped off the
map. But one code of morals serves
for Republicans, another for Demo.
Gratis. When old Bill Sherman said
That anything was justifiable in morals
which would defeat the Democratic
party, he gave voice to the standard of
morals then existing in Ohio, and
since spread over the United States
lie should have added that anything
was Justifiabe which was done in the
name OF the Republican party.
