BREAD AND BUTrER.

ihese two staple articles of food are
represented at the Fair by numerous speci.
mems. upon which we have word to saw.
There are few loaves of first class bread.
The premium loaf is fully equaled in our
opinion by several others. The sad. and
we might almost say the disgraceful fact,
IN this connection is, that the premium on
bread and butter shows a total lack of an.
probation of the value of these all-import-
ant elements Of good living.

best bread and butter, exposes a surprising
Ignorance of true values and most fla

IL what MIR. Ruffner says, in his letter
to The Wing, as to the speech Of Mr..
Ramsdell at Christiansburg, be in every
respect literally true, we can hardly see
why he should have felt it necessary, not
once but repeatedly, to call on leading
Republicans in the legislature of the state
to aid him in getting through that body i'm
portant educational measures, which would
have been voted down except for the aid
he thus secured from Republican members.
We have very high personal regard for
Mr.. Ruffner, and should have felt as Mr..
Ramsdell expressed himself in regard to
his retention in Office, in case we were
successful in the present political contest.
But We regret that he should feel compelled
under what might seem Conservative
pressure, to deny, or in any way qualify,
the very complimentary mention made oil
him by Mr.. Ramsdell.
Was Mr.. Ruffner. as our State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, in .sentire
sympathy" with Mr.. r. T. Daniel in the
educational interest which that gentleman
repeatedly expressed in regard to OUT
public schools? And did he 90 to this
Conservative leader Of the House to cham.
pion his educational bills through thai
body? We reckon not.

FREEMEN of Virginia! On Tuesday
next we must place the grand old historic
state ON the enduring platform of the Con-
stitution and the Union, and thereby render
Conservatism forever powerless of evil in
this ancient commonwealth. Remember
that the friends Of the Union send their
entreatles and prayers to you that you abate
no exertion, spare no effort, shrink from
no duty, but resolutely press on to victory.
The day is ours if we do this, and the can.
yass is virtually at an end the moment we
are fully determined to do it. Give the old
know-Nothing ticket complete squelcher.
