snirif of the State Press.

Gordonsville Gazette, The coming
political campaign will be one OF the
hottest ever fought in Virginia.
Norfolk Landmark We do not doubt
that j. G. Il. is as dead as Hector, but
we are sorry for it, as he would be
mighty easy to beat second time.
Lynchburg Virginian: 1t might,
therefore, be well enough to let mem
bers Of Congress understand that there
is a bound beyond which even they may
not pass in the selection Of agents of
the Federal authority.
Lynchburg Virginidn 1t is crafty
ing to see Mr.. Cleveland starting out
on a new line. He accepts fayors OF
no one and incurs obligations to none.
He is not a gift-taker, but pays for
what he gets. And why should a man
with an income Of $4,000 a year al
low himself to be made an object OF
charity?
Danville Register: Those disap-
pointed politicians from Illinois who
swear that they will not support the
present Administration because they
failed to get their applicant for the
marshalship appointed have evidently
forgotten that Cleveland was elected
without the aid of their States vote,
and he will probably live and serve the
country, Notwithstanding the threaten
ings of the disgruntled Illinois Office
seekers.
Leesburg WashingtOnian:: Those
who are in hurry to see the President
come up to the mark of duty they have
prescribed for him will find that some
of our most foreseeing statesmen,
whose Democracy no one can question,
think he is doing his duty, and that,
when he has time to perform the vast
task before him, he will prove himself
worthy of the party which elected him
and of the country whose laws he has
TO administer
