Now we know who are to represent Rich
lnond in the next House Of Delegates.
The Democratic Primary took place yes
terday. and the outcome of it is that
Messrs. MuNYoRp, SrRATroS. JACKSON
and STEEL, have been chosen from the
list OF nine competitors to receive the
votes Of their party on the Sd of Novem-
Der, and this done. they will be clothed
with the duties and responsibilities OF
Legislators.
They have been chosen for public ser
vice ct an important juncture. and that
they will represent us with ability. zeal.
and discretion we have no doubt. The
contest from which they have emerged
VIGOROUSLY was conducted with dignity
and good feeling. and We believe that the
defeated can iidates will accept the results
with becoming resignation. No doubt the
future has in store for them compensation
for the msfortunes of yesterday.
The vote polled was large one consider
ing that only nominations for the House
were to be made.
We should now begin to give earnest at
