THE ELECTION RETURNS,

II ia Believed that They Will Bring Good

monts to Display Them, &c.
what delugc Of ballots there will be to-
! dayl virginia will cast over 300, 900, and
the grand total will not fall short OF
| II 100000. Think Of that Who ever had
an army Of that size? In two ranks these
4 voters would almost stretch from the Atlantic
| 10 the Pacific. The earth would quiyer under
their united footsteps, and the sound OF their
voices would be hike the roar Of Niagara.
1 They are coming from the roadside hut
and from the palace Of the millionaire; they
/ are coming from the peaceful farm and from
/ the strife OF city life, from the counting
room and the workshop; and the men hoary
with the crown Of time and the youngster
eager 10 exercise the right OF suffrage for the
/ first time will be iostlmg each other in the
/ line.
twill be demonstration unprecedented
| in history, and win show whether IN the
multitude of voters there Is much wisdom.
Here with patriotic Nirgnians there is
/ scarcely possibility that the average citizen
| Of intelligence can 90 wrong. inasmuch a. IL
Is not his nature 90 be un0ratciul, and OF the
! two men To be voted for for President one
! has never shown the slightest interest IN u.s.
/ though the pride OF family should have
| kindly inclined him. while the other has
/ been our friend and has Ofer and again
served US at risk TO his political safety. 80
/ il would seem that with those Nirginlaus
who can read the history Of the times and
understand the bearing Of parties Cleveland
/ will have nothing 10 fear, Harrison nothing
/ 20 hope from Us. Greatly as Cleveland has
/ helped the South in the past four years 1t ~
| as nothing 10 what he can and will do In the
coming four should the people endorse bis
| administration and say TO hlm: Well done;
proceed with tho work OF rcuniting the coun-

! Gratitude, good sense, and loyalty 70 party
and State all demand tha. Virginia should
vote for Cleveland. And she will do II II
Richmond does her duty; therefore, Rich
mond men, be early at the polls; he sure TO
vote the Democratic ticket; be earnest IN Sc
curing other voters; help to bring them 10
the polls in the forenoon.
BE up early.
Go at once to the polls.
Don't leave them until you vote.
Pitch in and help the committees TO bring
up other voters.
THE CONTEST.
The Repubncans, ousted from the Govern
mcnt buildings four years ago, have ever
since been signing for the nice warm places
from which they were driven by the ballots
OF their indignant cOunt'ymen; but they
have never accepted the situation, which
meant no situation Tor them, aud they have
ever since been at WORN with II zeal and a
hatred and a determination that IT Will not
do 10 disregard. There is hut one course for
us. and that is to meet work with work; TO
confront determination with determination,
and this day 10 proceed to the polls resolved
that our party vote shall be cast promptly
aud soidly for our nominees.
Who are our nominees2
For President and Nice-PrCsldent, Grover
Cleveland and Allen G.. Thurman.
For Congress, George ID. Wise.
For the Senate, Conway K. Sands.
For the House, Charles +. " Ortham, JT.
These two last Offices are not usually filed
at the presidential election, but II happens
that there are vacancies in them and 1t Is
convenient and economical to iiil these va
cancies now. The Democratic nominees are
young men OF intelligence and character and
wel-deserving the enthusiastic support OF
their fellow citizens.
The Hon. George u. Wise has been the
most successful representative this district
ever had. lie Is a practical man. HIS dili-
pence on behalf Of the working people and
the business people and the farming people
could not have been eXceled. He has got
ten our share of the Offices and OF the ap-
propriatlons every time But he has done
more than this; he has bcou representa-
tive who when occasions demanded could
get up and speak for us-speaS eloquenty;
denounce caumnieS; uphold the truth, ana
strike for the right in a way that no Reprb-
Ecan could have done In way that very
few men at All could have done. Notice, too'
that the record in Congress OF hr. wise mas
not only been that OF an industrious man
aud drst-claSs debater, but that he has been
prudcnt representative, aud while he has
never failed TO punish swiftly and severely
any one who undertook to malicn the State
or the South, he has never given the enemy
any opportunity to make capital out OF him
lie is capable; he is deserving, and his
record shows that he Is faithful and willing
ana able 10 serve The most important con-
gresSoual district in Virginia.
Give him your vote.
Reflect him by q large majority.
Show him, show the country, that you are
proud Of him.
BE esry at the polls, and don't forget your
faithful representative.
