THE TIMES TAKES PLEASURE IN
ANSWERING.

The Virginia Gazette. published at Will
liamsburg. Va, contains the following re-
marks on a question TO The Times:
at is TO be hoped that The Richmond
Times In the future will see it's way clear
10 saddle one mule or the other, and
ride him like a true knight. Nobody cen
sures The Times for having the courage
OF its convictions. but when IL lent its
influence 10 the Fair Election gang II
was not only fighting the white people of
helping to undo those very things il at
one time contended for. The Times may
he a Democratic journal. but II II Is we
should like to know why every ReDubli-
can I'm town falls over himself In getting
IL in preference to other Richmond dali
les? or course. we don't expect TO get
an answer from our contemporary, but
Democrats all over the State would be
pleased 10 hear from them
The specific question put TO us by the
Gazette is, "why every Republican in
town a. e., williamsburg falls over him.
self In getting 1t in preference TO other
Richmond daiies?' The Gazette ought to
be able to answer its question as well as
The Times. 1t Is because The Times has
all the latest news tersely and compend-
ously stated: because the people know
that nothing but the truth can get into the
columns of The Times with The Times
knowledge and consent. and because The
Times has opinions and sound opinions,
upon all public questions which no die
tate OF expedicncy can induce IL to con-
ceal 1t does not wait TO have opinions
reluctantly dragged out of it, 1t is ready
to express them upon every public ques-
ton that arises, and the people are eager
TO hear the counsel of a friend whom they
know to be well-informed. honest. and
sincere. These are the reasons why Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans fall over
themselves" to get The Times In prefer
ence to other Richmond dailies.
The Gazette ought not TO say that
The Times 'lent its influence TO the Fair
Election gang" 1t is not fact The
Times expressly refused 10 have anything
10 do with that movement. The Times
mas steadfastly urged its Democratic
brethren TO clear the Democratic party OF
Virginia from all connection with fraudu-
lent elections, but The Times refused
steadfastly. from the time the Petersburg
convention was called up 10 the election,
TO have any correction of any sort with
that movement. ! any times deplored
the movement in it's editorial articles and
urged those connected with 1t TO abandon
IL.
But after all. it was a movement whose
object was 10 secure fair and honest
elections in Virginia We don't believe
anybody thinks that it's aim was dis
honest elections. and we believe that
every one thinks IT desired TO bring about
a state of affairs in which every voter
would be allowed to vote. and his vote
would he counted just as he cast it. How
would The Times have been fighting the
white people OF the eastern counties of
Virginia" II 1t had lent its influence TO
the Fair Election party? Are the in
tcres,s OF those people supposed to be
identical with fraudulent elections? We
should like to hear from the Gazette upon
that point.

The indispensable thing for such fortih-

fused TO allow German any voice in the
appointments. Accordingly. at the last
session OF Congress. German. who has
an influential place on the Appropriations
Committee. killed the appropriation for
this gun plant. and MIR. Cleveland has
been driven to every sort of expedient

means, however. so that the gun plant

provide for enlarging 1t even beyond It's
present limit, and for keeping 1t steadily
at work turning out great guns. Ana
earth-works should be at once provided
at all of our seaports, on which these
guns should be mounted as fast as they
are made. 'In time OF peace prepare

Washington Authorities Notify Mr.. Reed
That His Request is Granted-Assem-
blage of Fine Vessels.
Congressman Reed has received word
from the. authorities at Washington that
they have granted his request to have the
North Atlantic Squadron present in Port
lad Harbor during the New England fair.
The vesselsSwill arrive in time to be pres
ent from the 9th to the Both of August.
Their presence in the harbor will be a
great additional attraction at the time
of the fair. The feet will be the largest
and finest that has ever entered this har-
Dor. There will be Admiral Bunce's flag
shin. the New York; the two new battle
ships Maine and Texas; the Amphitrite
