PRINCIPLES defined and formulated con-
stltute parties, ard whenever a man II
sincere in acknowledging and holding the
principles OF a certain party, he Is under
obligation to support the regular, legiti-
mate nominees of that party. He mas no
moral right TO support his own lnuiviuuai
choice in opposition to that OF the state:
Whilst the nominee for Governor Is and
was our choice, we would. had ne not
been the nominee, voted and worked Tor
the nominee whoever he might have peen'
We believe II is the duty Of every Demo-
crat to support and work for the state
ticket; and hence, we shall do SO.

Chairman Ellyson told the Index-Ap-
neal correspondent that he expected 10
give all OF his time from now until elec-
ton. that is not demanded by his duties
as mayor to politics He said he counteu
the cost before accepting the position
and took Il knowing full well that for
two months his private affairs would
have TO suffer Mr.. Elfyson's success as
n political leader is due largely to his ca
pacity for organization and his remark
able tact I'm handling men. IL Is pre-
dlcted by his friends that the organiza-
ton OF the party will be more complete
this year than ever before In it's history.
The chairman IS one OF those who taxes
nothing for granted and believes IN
fighting as hard when victory Is certain
as when 1t is doubtful One OF his mot
toes IS: THE more complete the victory
the easier It will be TO win In the next
contest"
Henry Bulletin)
Since the Democrats of Virginia have
met I'm convention and have nominated
their candidates for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Attorney-General there are
no Tyler or Buford Democrats In
Henry county-all are O'Ferrall men now.
This county was largely for OFerrall,
and sent a solid delegation to the conYen-
ton for him. still thee are some who IA
vored the nomination Of Colonel Butord'
ana Il rev VINO were lyleT Ultil lHty
are to-day for the Democratic ticket as
fixed by the Richmond convention. and
they will be hard hitters in the ranks OF
their party till sundown on election day.
They will not only struggle TO carry the
State, but they want to redeem Henry
county which has 50 long occupied
a position in the column of Republican
| counties.
CWytheville Dlspatch)
So far as we have been able TO learn,
| the ticket gives general satisfaction to
| friends and enemies alike. 1t IS a strong
| combination, and will win by a crushing
| majority.
Charlottesville Jeffersonian)
Whatever may have been thought, be-
| fore the convention, OF the availability OF
OFerrall as a candidate, there can be no
| two opinions, now that the convention
| has recorde its judgment that the Con-
gresham was and Is the choice OF the
party.
The party having nominated the ticket
| the efforts of every god Democrat stand
pledged to It's election. Victory this fall
| is a necessity. We must have the leg
| islature, for we must have the senator
and judges to be chosen.
Suffolk Herald)
The selection of Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson
as chairman OF the State organization
| OF the Democratic party was in keeping
with the splendid work OF the convention.
No ADLER or more Jealous leader could have
been selected and in him will be found a
| ft successor OF the lamented Barbour. AS
a first rate leader and political mana
ger has no superior and we shall
| expect the victory this year to equal
that Of the past four years, II It is not con-
| siderably greater.
