Laughing il Down.

Some Of the Democratic newspapers
ia Virginia have q way of laughing
DOWN everything that is proposed for
the good Of our State BY any one other
than a Democrat. Such is the case with
some If them now as regards the move

honest elections. Some of our esteemed
contemporaries are so hide-bOund that
they viii be surprised to see Repubi-
cans. Populists and ProhiDitionists adj
mitted into heaven. for they hold To the
idea that nothing is good unless IL comes
from the Democratic party.
We hlVe not read the proposed law

Walton law must be amended. and that

no. OF that class who think that dis
honest cleo tions IN Virginia, or else
where. should be charged solely 20 the
Democratic party, for we believe the
Rpubican party as guilty along this
line as any party can be, but two wrcrss
never did and never will make One night.
These remarks, Of course, DO not apply
locally. for we believe the elections in
Botctourt came as near being isir as
elections can possibly be.

of Richmond. Va, says;

this performance. The whole run Of
