BALTIMORE AND VIRGINIA.-So many Viz
gfnians have found a home in Baltimore that
the Monumental City has come to be consid-
cred almost part of the Old Dominion. AT
any rate it has so strong flavor of our good
old State that all Virginians have strong
love for il. This feeling is doubtless strength
ened by the popularity in this State of the Bal
tiInore Sun, which is household word in every
part of the Commonwealth and a familiar
friend at thousands of our firesides. Though
published in Baltimore, 1t seems almost like
Virginia institution, and its readers here take
as much pride in it as if it were local publ
cation. There are few newspapers which have
so thoroughly deserved their success. 1t is
clean, honest and brave. scrupulously avoids
coarse and vulgar sensationalIsn, and while it
does not hesitate to throw its light upon the
public acts of public men, it never suffers It's
colnpnns to be made the vehicle of attack upon
private reputation. 1t gives Virginia news
special prominence, and has careful cores
pondents 10 all parts of this State When the
Sun says anything people may be sure that
they can rely on 1t.
