Our Wards and Voting Precincts

The examination OF the poll-books OF
the late Democratic primary election has
been concluded to the satisfaction of
everybody.
SO we see how much better 1t was to
allow the examination TO be made than to
stand on the point that the time for
making contests having passed. 1t was
useless and unjustifiable TO allow de-
feated candidates TO look into the re-
cord.
Only one error was discovered, and that
affected no nomination. There can be- no
doubt that this was an error Of inadvert-
ence. However. IL is the duty OF our City
Committee to legislate so as TO have all
this election work done hereafter as ac-
curately as possible.
What We badly need are more voting
precincts. Twenty-Five are not enough for
Richmond. We should have five or ten
more. Our wards must soon be increased
and then the new voting precincts can
be set or In . proper manner.
Since public attention has been called
TO the fact that Madison Ward, with a
population Of 5000. has ~ many repre-
sentatives ~ Clay Ward, which has over
$500. this community. we believe. will
not rest until change Ii made and rep
resentation 10 fairly distributed.

General Gordon's Lecture.

General John u. Gordon was one OF the
most valiant and trusty of Lees ueu-
tenants. His name was tower OF
strength to W in the great struggle which
ended at Appomattox Courthouse.
He has appeared here several times
since the war in our great Confederate
celebrations In October, 1870, he and ex-
President Jefferson Davis addressed the
Lee memorial meeting held in the First
Presbyterian church, which stood on a
part OF the lot now occupied by the City
Hall, and when he gave utterance to
one of the noblest eulogies ever pro-
nounced upon the life of our great cap
tain. Tonight the General appears on
the lecture platform at our Academy of
Music, and his subject is "The Last
Days of the Confederacy."
This is charming lecture. All who
have heard 1t say so without reservation.
The subject is one which is close to the
hearts Of our people-especially at this
moment, when we are busy preparing TO
unveil the Soldiers monument-and TO
hear it discussed by such true and
tried soldier and distinguished orator as
General Gordon will be privilege in
deed.
The sale of seats indicates that the
General will have fine house. We
should be much disappointed If Richmond
failed to give him such an audience as he
has the right to expect here.

Butts a Broker.

The Washington Post explains Mr..
Butts's attempts TO bride senator's In the
following charitable paragraph:
From the information now at hand il
Is not unsafe to predict that. although
formal offer was made in the case Of
each senator named, II Will be found In
the end that the person who appeared In
tina role Of brbe-offerer was not the au-
thorized representative of any of the in
terests involved In the pending legislation,
but was merely acting upon his personal
inspiration with an idea that he might In
some manner turn his exploit to account.
Doubtless this would-be briber was actu-
ated by some of the sensa tional stories
that have recently appeared. and had con-
cludcd that 1t would be a good thing to
take an option on u few senator's, and
later on organize IL syndicate for their
purchase
The Posts guess may be true. but
nevertheless the Senate cannot afford to
dismiss the matter without having made
a thorough investigation Of IT. The peo-
Pile are now suspicious. They desire to
get at the facts.
But above all, the tariff bill must be
made a law. The Democrats in the
t'''SNA seHeNo 'NhaNN NphiA bc
In using this bribery question In the in
terest of tariff legislation.
Yesterday the Senate adopted resolu-
tions appointing a committee to inquire
into this attempt at bribery, and also to
report as to the truth of the charges
made by the Philadelphia Press that in
consequence of large contributions made
TO the Democratic campaign fund in 1892
influential Democratic senators have been
very watchful of the interests OF the
Sugar Trust, and that some of these
senator's have speculated successfully in
Sugar-Trust stock.
Major Butts Is out, too, in letter de-
handing an investigation. He denies that
he offered any bride to General Hunton
or to Mr.. Kyle
With the people Of Virginia any utter
ance made by General IIunton or his son
imports absolute verify. Their name Is
synonym of honor and integrity in this
State.
We are quite ready TO believe that
Butts's proposal to young Hunton was
made in a sly and insidlous way. else
Butts would have received bodily injury
for an answer instead of merely being
told TO get out Of the room at once.

until the House acts on the case OF
0oode ycryus Epes II Is not known
whether that excellent Democrat, Mr.
Epes. will offer for reelection. Probably
something depends upon the result OF the
pending contest. At any rate. We know
OF several other nrst-rate men who are
willing to undertake the fight In the
Fourth District, and who are confident OF
carrying our banner to victory.
In this the metropolitan district. we see
No s,rn Of opposition to Mr.. Wise for the
nomination. There are. however, one or
two vcnmresome Populists who threnton
ia run against him when the question
comes TO be decided at the polls. With
the Democracy Of Richmond and the dis
trlct the unit that they are we should
advise against any such opposition as
useless and Improbable work. but our
advice would probably not be received
in that quarter.
IL Congress- will give us tarin law by
July we think the Democrats oil tnis
State will have little TO fear from the
combined forces OF the Populists and Re-
DubllCans. however VIC Siiti w wv ~
make the campaign short. and, we hope
sharp and decisive.
From time TO time we are told that
is the purpose OF this Populists and Re-
publicans to test the validity OF the Wal
ton Australian-ballot law In the courts.
II that is their determination the sooner
they proceed with their plan the better
but we supposs no move can be made
I'm that direction for some time yet. In
decd, the law does not 80 into effect until
the LIST OF July.
We are advised that the law will stand
any legal test that 1t may be subjected
TO. but If the courts point out fatal errors
in 1t and sufficient time before election
remains the Governor will certainly be
duty-bound TO call the General Ass ennbly
into extra session to correct the laws
defects. or. at most should 1t be too
late TO have an extra legislative session,
we will still have the good old, we'll
