HE'S G0MIN6 HOME!

to convulsion by receiving telegram
which tells that Henry c. Stuart has
left France and sailed for home. In
megaphonic tones the Times makes the
momentous and portentous announce
ment: 'Stuart's Coming Homel'' Mr.
obiie dict,-wonderful to be told-lE rabile
uistt-wonderful to be seen.
This announcement our ecstatic con-
temporary fondly believes is a moment
OF victory to the Democracy and Dor
tent Of disaster to the Republicans in
the Ninth. But our scintiIating con-
temporary ought to remember that when
Napoleon returned from Elba he was
received with rapturous joy by his faith
full Marshals, the 'Old Guard, " and the
veteran army he had previously led to
victory, only to have them follow him
to his Waterloo. And, so, after the 9Th
of next November Mr.. Stuart's now en-
raptured trumpeter will be sounding
plaintive funereal notes when the Ninth
district Democracy have met the certain
Waterloo the Republicans have in store
for them.
This homecoming Of MIR. Stuart has
30 convulsed our Roanoke contemporary
that its mental vision has become vic
tim of decisions and halucinations.
While under this spell our contemporary
assumes to possess the gift of prophetic
vision, and undertakes to read the
thoughts and feelings of the voters of
this district. Thus sees and speaks the
Times of the people of the Southwest
They will be delighted to know that
Stuart's coming home. They are proud
OF MIN as he always and everywhere and
In all circumstances is Of them. He is
one of their own and they know him
from the ground up, as he knows them.
They know that wherever he has been
tried he has made good and that this
man of theirs is accepted everywhere
IN Virginia as about the biggest man
the State has,
Mr.. Stuart may be the biggest and
strongest man tie Democrats have, but
he wasn't big enough or strong enough
to go up against the Machine last wear.
And all these words of praise for Mr..
Stuart are amusing to Republicans out
here. They. truly know him from the
ground up, and they know that he has
always made good in his service for cor
rupt Virginia Democracy and has done
everything he could to crush Republi-
canism in the Ninth district. They
know that, assisted by the Machine. he
is now lending himself to movement
to make, as the Times says: ''The Ninth
district one of the boss Democratic dis
tricts, talked OF and shouted over by the
Democrats of the whole continent as a
Southern Republican district won back
to its natural standard"
Then the Roanoke Times becomes a
boastful prophet, and tells how the Dem
ocratic leaders have been holding the
fort for Mr.. Stuart while he was away.
Thus speaks the Roanoke trumpet: II
"They have been holding the fort for '
him mighty well while he was gone. {
They have got all the Democrats in Z
shape In the district to vote. Thew
have forced the Republicans to DESTROY
their own campaign and give it the lie I
by putting on the books every man thew i
could rake and scrape after making I
their main fight against Stuart on the
ground that he helped to disfranchise
10000 white men in the district" :
Thus does the distorted vision of our o
Roanoke contemporary see and record d
what has been Transporting in the Ninth J
district. The Republicans out here.
