Correspondence, Daily Market Re.
ports, Local News and matters of
interest to Virginia, but more es-
pecially to this city and section of
the State.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper in the State, and with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun-
try, and its usefulness has been de-
monstrated and appreciated during
the NINETY. ONE YEARS of its exist
ence. In its columns has always
been found a mirror of passing
events and the careful chronicling
of the history Of what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house
hold, while in the counting room
and work shop it has become in.
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is so
close to Washington, the great CEN
ire of news, enjoys daily the bene-
6t of the ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES from every part of the
world hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has transpired that day in ev-
cry portion of the United States as
well as from every part of the hab.
liable globe. Consequently it is
an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every section of
the State is published regularly,
and all events of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
umns of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE great desider-
alum with merchants is its after
noon market reports from all the
great centres of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
In It's history and is steadily increas-
ing, especially among those who
consult its advertising columns be-
fore purchasing.
The COUNTRY EDITION is
nearly as large as that Of the daily.

Hills Possible Public Service,

Mr.. Hill will do his party, and through
that the country, n great service if he
shall knock out of the Democratic head
the idea that it is necessary or advisable
TO seek its presidential nominee in New
York.
1t is an intolerable thought that n
great party shall feel itself forced to
present to tho country for President the
most successful Democratic tricks,er
who may be- able to get control Of the
New York machine. Tho case would,
OF course, be no better ii the Republican
party or any other POLITICAL orsaniz-
alton having a chance Of success were
to feel under like obligation it'll regard
to any state.
To admit that the nominee must
come from u given state, is to set in mo-
ton the worst forces OF the party in
that state and to confront the organiza-
ton with tho necessity of accepting us
its standard bearer the greatest charla-
tan those forces can produce. In every
such case it would DO, as it is in New
York to-day, the survival OF the worst.
A party would infinitely better be
beaten than to submit to this degrada-
ton, for it cannot con sent to be so do
graded without bringing on itself tho
certainty OF decentralization with defeat.
The Democratic party OF the country
cannot succeed under Hills leadership.
Ii it could the triumph would be worse
for its future than any defeat it has
ever sustained. Another New York
trickster would bob up to succeed Hill.
The Democratic party would have to ac-
cept him, and tho country would not
stand two in succession.

On With the Worlds Fair

Tho Worlds Fair should be made q
success not because it is Chicago's con-
Germ but because it is the concern OF
the United States.
There was 4 good deal OF pulling and
hauling over the Centennial Exhibition,
bgt after the thing had boon made n
success those who tried to obstruct
were glad to have their part forgotten.
So. it will be with the World'g Fair.
After its success shall have been estab-

bered against him that he was so Jealous
or so pcnurious rs to try to place obsta-
cles in its way.
