POifTICAi NOTES AND COM
MENTS.

A Virginia Coalitionist, casting about
for some peg on which to hang his hopes,
suggested that perhaps the next Presiden-
tial election mas be thrown into the House
of Representatives. If 10, the Democratic
candidates are elected already. In an eiec'
ton by the House the vote is taken by
States, the majority of q delegation con-
trolling the State. Tsoenty-ttoo States are
Democratic, aud, fifteen are Republican,
and one (Florida) divided.
The Denver Tribune the leading repub-
iican paper In Colorado. says: 1.-THE re-:
publican party cannot afford to 60 into a
presidential campaign with Malone and
his crowd"
The Democrats of Bath county show q
practical spirit. At the convention held
for sending delegates to Lynchburg, they
reorganizsd their county committee.
The Prince William county Democrats
at their mass-meeting to appoint delegates
resolved that, 1.-THE Democratic party OF

will not further sgitate the debt question; ;

A good idea of the way the Republican
administration is running the Navy de-
partment may be gathered from these
facts: The U. S. Steamship Alaska, cost

Navy, Robson, spent on her $3.50, 900 to
make her 6t for service. Tbirtsen months

THE NEXT CHAIRMAN OF THE
DEAOCRATI CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.

We are very anxious for Democratic
victory next fall. IL We were not we would
not 90 out Of the usuaz track of avoiding
personal advocacy in public matters. and
urge the selection of John s. Barbour for
Chairman Of the Democratic State Central
Committee at Lynchburg. We do not
even know the man, but like most Wiz
Rinians We know of his public record.
He has been success in everything he
has undertaken. And in every public un-
dertaking be has made it profitable to the
people. He is the President of railroad
and has been for many years. OF how
shat Office has been administered in the
Interest OF Che people along its line. the
eountry through which it passes will tell
the story. With wide awake energy be
mas brought immigration from every quar-
ter to settle along the Midland road and
amprove the Piedmont land; even from
this fertile Valley Of Virginia he has
drawn entrants by the hundred to the
fields over which bis road passes. To every
1aan that owned land along that route
Mr.. Barbour's management has been a
practical financial benefit.
Again, he knows and is known by the
National Democracy, a not inconsidarable
advantage to the head Of State organi-
cation.
And lastly, of all men in Virginia. he is
the one least desired by the enemy, to be
placed at the head Of the Democracy in
the coming fall campaign.
A practical man, a successful man, 3
man widely known BY the Democracy and
widely feared by its enemies, John s.
Barbour seems to us to be the man for
whom the people Of Virginia have been
BOOKING, to lead them in the campaign
which will SO shortly be opened.

asked him if he could mix il up so as to

''Oh, yes,' says Speight. Presently
Speieht said: sWill you have glass of

oh. yes" says she. After drinking
the soda water. the young lady waited a
