Il. T.. Barton of Winchester, Va,
recently read Il paper before the
Virginia Historical Society entitled
The First Election of Washington
to the Virginia House Of Burgesscs.'
From this it appears that political
methods then did not greatly differ
from those of the present day. and
the rum power, then as now. was an
active factor. In 1851 Washington
was one of the three candidates to
represent Frederick county, Va. IN
the House of Bur"esscs. Although
he had recently achieved the distinc-
ton of having saved the remnant of
Braddock's army from anniiiiIation
Washington WAS not able TO overcome
the rcvengeful opposition OF one
I.inHlcv. whose liccnce 10 keep an or
binary had been opposed by the
Young Colonel. Washington was
badly I eaten. receiving only 40 votes
TO the 27l and 30 votes cast for his
opponents. Nevertheless, the next
year Washington again essaycd to
serve his cnuntryIncn at RichWond.
The election came off July -, and
Washington got $40 votes, or 40 more
than were cast for the next highest
candidate. Ii is related that the
future Father of his Country in this
campaign had to foot bill of election
expenses OF $l95, the chief items of
which were - hogShcad and a barrel
OF punch, ttirty-live gallons of wine,
forty-thrcc gallons of strong cider,
and dinner for his friends"

presented the picture to Glandorp in the
year 1872. This picture was engraved

the root of II radish has taken this par
