| We therefore. appealing 10 she history
Of the Republican party as id1ntined with
the history of the country, do most spe-
cially and heartily commend the action ot
the last Congress in the passage Of the No

The principle Of protection Is not

section or any one class Of individuals, but
upon the interests Of the entire country.

TREE ELxcTIoN AND FAIR BALLOT.
We regard as one Of the issues which vii
1 not down the vital one Of securing free elec
tions, q fair ballot. and an honest count. Ans
while we are beaten down by an infamous
| State election law-made TO defraud snC
despoil--we shall continue to await IN con
fident expectation the enactment of [
Federal election law which shall secure I,
every lawful voter the sacred rights OF hi
voice at the ballot-box. To this issue th
Republican party stands unalterabl.
pledged.
We commend the course Of our Republi
can members of Congress in standing b.
the interests of Virginia in the great mea
sures before Congress. while all the Viz
1 einia Democratic members used thei
| voices and votes against the interests o
the State they misrepresented.
We commend the conservative ant
courageous administration of Presiden
Harrison in giving 70 the country such
1 management OF public affairs as to be emf
nently satisfactory to all patriotic citizens
and which each year grows in popularity
