ITO THE VOTERS OF FAIRFAX COUN.
l. TY-At the solicitation of many friends, I
announce myself candidate for reelection to
the next House of Delegates of Virginia. Re-
cognzing the Importance to the best interest of
the State and Of the success OF the Conservative
party, make this annancistion, subject to the
action OF the party in determining who shall be
their candidate, believing that the harmony and
success of the party can be best maintained by
organization and trust that at the meeting to
be held at August Court some satisfactory mode
may be adopted by which, in the selection of a
candidate, that result may be attained.
Conservatism, in the darkest days of our his
tory saved us from the fate of our Southern sis.
ter States, and it is at this time our strength and
hope, and I sincerely trust that it's harmony
may be preserved. If I shall again be nomi-
mated by you, in being selected as your candi-
date, can only promise that, as in the past, my
best abilities will be directed to the maintainsnce
of the honor and integrity of our beloved COM
monweslth, and to the adoption of such meas
ures as will tend to the material prosperity Of
the county and State.

A offer myself a candidate to represent Fair.
fax county in the next House of Delegates of
Virginia. vii not submit to the action of
county convention, which, according to the pre-
sent organization Of the Conservative party. is
only calculated to defeat the will OF majority
of the l.eope; but MS fully recognize tho i'm
portance Of securing n Conservative representa-
ton and maintaining the unity of the party,
am ever ready to submit to primary election,
where every voter has chance to caet his vote
for the candidate he prefers.
| feel it right to state the general principles
which will govern my action, if you should
tn nix proper to elect ms. | consider ours y con-
federated republic. All power emanating from
the people, the government officers are the SER
wants OF the people, and should at all times feel
their responsibility and duty to serve them for
the public good. The General government, as
we'll rs State governments, are bound by written
constitutions, and have no right to exercise any
power not therein delegated
The State policy should b. 80 shaped as to
give all possible encouragement to the business
Interests of the State Agriculture, commerce
and manu-! lectures constituting the basis of all
prosperity in country, should be fostered and
encouraged by the laws of the State. free
school system is indispensable to q free country,
and should be sustained by an amendment of
the law dividing the townships into school dis
trlcts OF proper sizs and electing three trustees
tor esch district by the patrons of each school,
who shall manage the schools without compen-
saton and withoutcounty superintendent saving
all the school tax for the benefit of the children.
The commerce of the State should be secured
as much as possible to our own cities
Public and private credit should be sustained
rs much rs possible by law
Reputation of the State debt has been talked
of iii some quarters, and should be condemned
10y every honest man. 1t would be n crime ard
curse upon the State from which it would never
recover.
Interest on money should be uniform through
out the State, and should be so liked as to secure
the money of the State for The business interests
Of the State.
The present rate of taxation is ample to carry
on the government and pay of the State debt If
wisely and economically applied.
