Monday, August 30, was the forty
seventh anniversary of the second
battle of Manassas when the Confed-
crate forces under General Lee and
the federal troops under General
Polk (of headquarters in the saddle"
notoriety) met in battle array and the
latter's forces were defeated and
/ driven to this city, says the Alexan-
dria Gazette. In the battle the Con
federate and federal forces occupied
exactly the reverse positions that they
held in the first battle of Manassas,
but the result of each was the same
famous victory for the Confeder-
ates. In calling attention to the an
niversary the Manassas Journal says
Each succeeding year brings this
memorable date to the minds of Nir-
ginia's citizens this day of the second
great victory of the Confederacy on
the Bull Run field, which shines
through the deel ening haze of past
events with luster that can never
be dimmed Fewer and yet fewer as
the years slip by, are the answers,
@Here :" to the roll call of that great
host which once stood in the strength
of its youth and patriotism at the
threshold of the southland waiting
in grim patience for the coming strug-
gle. Silently the thin gray lie is
marching onward to the final rendez-
vous "beyond the river" where wait
in brotherhood the reunited armies
of the Blue and the Gray. Soon
there will remain to us of this genera
ton only a hallowed memory, and it
behooyes US with garlands, with song
and with timely tribute of word and
deed TO keep this memory green.

PARTY ISSUES JOINED.

: The two great political parties OF
the State have had, in convention as
sembled, their say. Each have
adopted platforms and these should
be read and considered from the
standpoint of the common good by
the voter ere he casts his ballot 10
November next.
The days OF voting the Democratic
or Republican ticket because the
voters father did so, have passed
and gone in this State. Political
sentiment is a side issue, void OF
common sense. Weshould vote now
for measures and men.
The Democratic party in its plat
form holds that the disfranchisemeni
proposition is the paramount issue al
present before the people of the
State, while the Republican party
contends the reverse, and the mere
discussion Of the question is dema

rate is a recognized fact,-the cry Of
"negro supremacy" is but bugaboc

if the colored mans voting is
objectionable, it is not menace to
general good of the State, as

from voting because the colored man
votes, when the latter is harmless,
which is the logical effect Of the pur-

the Republican ticket means more

Figures show that the colored vo-

mathematicians have as yet failed tc
