dates for the General Assembly.

But two more days will now elapse be-
fore the voters of Virginia will be called
upon to assemble at the various voting
precincts in their respective counties and
| cities, and by their ballots decide who
shall man the ship Of State on Its jour
ney OF progress for the next four years.
They will also have to select the men
| who are to compose the next General
| Assembly. AS 1t is foregone conclu-
| sion that Democratic officers will be
chosen TO preside over the old Common
wealth. more interest is felt In the
various legislative contests than In the
| fight over the State ticket.
The Republicans, the Populists, the
Socialists, and the Prohibitionists have
all tickets, or parts of tickets, in the
field, but none of these tickets will re-
ceive anything more than compliment
tary vote. II is not so with the legisla-
tive contests. however. The Republi-
! cans. next to the Democrats, the best
organized party in the State, are making
| an aggressive fight in some OF the dis
| tricts. and are striving hard by means
| of coalition with the Populists and other
wise to weaken the strength of the De-
mocracy in the General Assembly, which
will assemble in December.
