Now Mr.. Editor, before | close this

encouragement to you, and to congrat-
ulate you for the bold stand you have
taken against the machine which is
put in motion to run this Democratic
primary. We are heartily tired Of
Martin and Button, or but in"
schemes and trickey. and | agree with
you fully that the time has come to
knock that internal machine into
smith Greens, before it's sitting inf1u
epce benumbS the bedy polite, and
while in the comatOse state another
Malone collar is put around our necks
which will destroy all feeling of man
illness and independence. Stand up for
our Governor A. j. Montague and see
that he has justice done him, even if
the press and the machine are working
for his defeat. La your good efforts for
pure politics We old farmers of North
River District and all of Augusta
county will stand to yodr back and
cry Lay on McDuff," sc. Again we
say go on in the good work, until like
Sampson you have slain the last Phil

piled with invitations to the various
balls and entertainments that are Civ
en-; but cannot attempt to meet the
hotel expenses of the two Thousand who
will be present, or provide them with

provided by those who select the young
ladies to these positions. Neither can
| the Committee allow them in the pa
rade, even though they supply them
selves with carriages, as the line must
be made as short as possible, that the
old heroes, for whose pleasure the Re-
unions are given, WHO are rapidly
growing fewer in nun berS and feeblef
