Winchester. She deserves all the good
luck she gets, Broadway Rouse included.
They are delightful people there, among
whom if man chances to light, he is apt
to settle. Some OF Staunton's best citi-
zens have come from there. Judge Handy
had his choice. So to speak, betWt en- Staun-
ton and Winchester-he was here one sum
mer for couple of weeks, but We suppose
Winchester had already cap 5ured his
affections. He was exceedingly pleasan,
company, as most people orn Oh the gree,
sod OF Ireland are, and was extreme IN his
sympathies with the South, before, during
and after the war, and was buried in the
Confederate cemetery at Winchester
by his own request that he might
be with them at resurrection
day. He got to Winchester by
visit years ago to friend who had moved
from Scranton there. He had no relatives
living, and he left the town Of his residence,
Scranton, out Of his will because the city
council had erected corn and hay market
in front OF ahotel property that he owned,
because he had refused to put down an
asphalt pavement there. 1t was costly
piece of work to Scranton. For years
Judge Handy had borne all the expense of

the Maryland election law for adoption by
Virginia, and inviting suggestions regarding
amendments to the Walton law. was received
during my absence from the city.
There are, in my opinion, many objections
to the Maryland law, which, for the purpose
of this letter, it is not necessary to enumerate.
MWhat we all want in Virginia, is an election
law which, will give the assurance of fair
election and put an end to the charges of
fraud, which seem to have become part
of the stock in trade of defeated candidates
of all parties-the Democrats from 1879 to
1888, and the Republicans fl ON the latter date
to the present time.
Such hw,sit seems to- nae; can be secured
by two amendments to the present election
law: First, require the electoral boards to
appoint as judges, two from the party re-
ceiying the highest vote at the next preced-
ing State election. and one from the party re-
ceiving the next highest vote; these judges to
be named to the board by the county or
city chairman of their respective parties
This will insure an absolutely fair count. Sc
cond, abolish the constable feature of the
Walton law and have no election constable
at all. and forbid any person whomsoever,
except the voter to approach within forty
feet of the election booth. This will insure
an absolutely secret and interrupted ballot.
With the adoption of these amendments
would, think, be removed any ground for
charge of fraud.
