THE NORFOLK ELECTION.

We print this morning a highly interest
ing and thorough review Of the antece-
dent political conditions which resulted
in the overthrow in Norfolk Of the
RinG"-miscalled Democratic party-in
the recent election. We invite the at
tention of all our readers TO It.
The lesson to be learned from TINS
narrative Is that the people VIII neyita-
bly, revolt against machine and corrupt
government. and that the party that
adopts machine methods and election
frauds as part Of its policy and course
of procedure courts that dissracetui
overthrow which IS certain 10 overtake
II sooner or later. There Is but one sound
and safe course in politics as in business;
and that is advocacy Of measures when
secure justice to all, forwarded and pro-
NOTED b. those methods only which com
mend themselves to honorable men. our
party yet has time to reinstate tsef IN
that public confidence which 1t has now
forfeited. Let us cut ourselves entlieiy
loose from all alliance with machine
politics and its parent corrupt elections
and all will yet be well with the party
But if we attempt TO continue rule OF
conduct such as has sprung up in the
State within the past few years VIZ
ginia IS lost to the Democratic party.
Let Norfolk be a warning 10 every part
Of the State
