A Word to Our Party Friends Through
out Virginia.

We are publishing Republican paper al
heavy expense and great labor, and we claim
that the VIRGINIAN is equal, in all respects.
to any weekly journal in the State. We have
received fair support from the party, and
asave a respectable circulation among those
who sympathize with us politically, In vari-
Gus sections. 1t is not what it ought to DC.
however. We write this notice for the p,ir-
pose OF calling the attention of our friends
20 the Importance OF exerting themselves to
increase the number OF our issue, and give
the VIRaINIAN wider circle of readers.
We are row about entering upon another
four years OF Republican administration. 1t
will be our aim to give Gov. Hayes a cordial
support, and to discuss with fairness and
friendship all the measures which may in
tercst the public, connected with his admin
tratiou.
The dissemination Conformation affecting
the interests of the government, aud the par
ty which will administer it, and place before
the public the facts and arguments upon
-1hch its policy is based, is very desirable in
Virginia. We have but two or three Repub-
.lican papers in this State. The V1RoINIAN,
probably, is the only one that has a general
circulation, and that is not what it ought to
be. The great want of the party is newspa-
lpers. Our opponents have their publiea-
eions In almost every county. They spread
broadcast every species of false statement
and Misrepresentation TO our injury. They
care not what the nature Of the charge,
whether there Is any truth in it or not, SO it
ia designed to defane Republicans, It Is print
ed and read with ayidity, and no core elton
ds ever made through the same channel
Hence the necessity OF naore general en-
.aouragement and circulation of Republican
papers which have managed to maintain an
existence up to this time.
We have no complaint to make OF the sup
port we have received. 1t has been liberal,
and we have met the liberallty by large out
bys to improve. But, il the active Republ-
cans In each locality in the State would make
an effort, there would be no difficulty in Civ
eng the VIRGINIAE 4 rery large circulation,
and extending the sphere Of its usefulness
The encouragement we may receive will
measure the efforts we will put forth IN the
future. We promise TO be equal to any de-
mand, and furnish Our patrons with q paper
that will amply repay them in the reading
it will contain, and the energy with which it
will be conducted.
ave deem it only necessary to call the atten-
lion OF our political friends to the importance
Of sustaining their party papers, and to pre-
sent the EIRGTNIAN to their favorable con-
sideration.

The Cronin fraud, by which q vote was
attempted to be stolen from Oregon by the

an evidence of it, barcfacedness, not single

that Cronin should have a vote. Here was
5000 OF Tilden's money thrown away.

question:
"rhe Republicans have had legal tech-
nical case all along. The Democrats never
had any but sentimental case. If We ex-
anime the sentimental aspects of the subject
we must inquire into all OF them; and when
we do that we find that there is as much
to be said for the Republicans as for the DEM
oc1ats. 1t is wise and just course, then, as
is the easiest course, to resolve whatever
doubts exist by the. technical law Of the case.
So there will be general content with the re-
suit.
