FRANK DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT
1.-THE report be true that the rev
euucs of the State of Virginia are
inadequate to provide for the in
terest on the public debt uuder the
Riddleberger bill after paying other
expenses of the state, then look out
for squalls Not even the Ander'
son. Mccormick election law can
save the Democratic party from the
consequences of such mismanage
ment. But we hope, and firmly be-
lieve, that the report Is a grOundless
sensation, and that our resources
are not only equal to all present
demands, but that the next assess
ment, now near at hand, will in
crease our revenues beyond all
probable need.-IRder Appeal.
Now let every paper In the state
revert erate this sentiment, and the
debt question will be quickly ad'
iusted.
The chief trouble about this debt
matter has arisen out of a cross
between the SnOrjOcracy and the
IdidOcracy of the Press, and the
Hastings. Gentlemen let US elimi-
nate this question now and forever.

Chickens have been shot this season in this
