Editor of Irginian: Above | send you the
official vote for this county. Goggin's majority Is
l27. His vote is the largest that was ever given
to Wing in this county in n party contest. The
day of election happened tn be an exceedingly
busy time with the farmers, and many Of them
did moi turn out; but for this and the fact that at
one precinct no poll opened there is no tell
ing how lnrge Gnggi majority would have been.
This was bad luck for Us. but under the crcum-
stances we have done pretty we'll.
saunders majority for the Senate in this coun-
ty is 1911 over Thomas. This contest has turned
upon local question mainly, the Democrats of
Henry and Patrick having nominated Mr.. Thomas
with view to the extension OF the Danyille Road
To Wythcvie, by which absurd project many of
Al. l..
We hear that Thomas ujority in Henry is G553
thar the result Of the contest rs to the Senate
depends upon Patrick, from which county we
have news. We hear that GoEglns majority
in Henry is Ia, and Martin is elected to the
House oi Delegates over McCabe Dem. But the
report is that Martins vote is not large ns g. &
gias. Mr.. Martin, though gentleman of un-
doubted talents. has committed the mistake al
Lending himself to IL mere local issue, and one
which IN the end he will find to involve u foolish
aud impractcnble scheme: that OF running the
panvlle Road over around the Bull Mountain
and over the Allegheny and several other high
and impassnblc mountains to Wythevllle, ut an
/ llnncnse cost.
This state IF affairs accounts for Thomas ma
iorl,y ever Saunders in Henry; the smallne's OF
Goggin's majority IN the county; and no doubt tar
! the fact that Mr. Martin himself was behind the
] actual Wing vote. Had he staked himself uron
1 the State issues, AMI made common cause with
been mach larger than i, is. and Goggins majority
also increased. Yours truly. - =.
