The coliect0rship.

1t seems probable that the appoint
ment of collector for the port OF Burling-
ton will he conferred upon ex-Lieutenant
Governor Mansur. This fact is observed
with quite general satisfaction through
out the State, for Col, Mansur, by virtue
OF his manifold qualifications, his labors
on behalf OF his party and his sacrifices
for his country, is entitled to priority OF
consideration. Col, Mansur is popular
among the old soldier element, for it was
in defense of the flag that he lost an arm
He has had experience in customs Office
work, and has been faithful, painstaking
and upright in the performance of all his
public duties, aud is man of recognized
executive ability. There is no other man
in the State upon whom the honor OF the
appointment could be more worthily be
stowed.-Benningto Banner.

Results of JudiciOus Advertising.

Here is AL object lesson in advertising,
taken from the Morrisville News and
Citizen, that is worth studying:
Ex-Gov. Page has just received from
the News and Citizen Office the last in
stallment of 5000 calendars. The pub
lication of these calendars involves an
expense, including postage and labor, OF
fully $1,000.
We imagine we hear some narrow
gagged, doubling individual exclaim,
what waste of money ~ But is it a
waste?
Here is fact which we commend to
these croaking 'ioubters for their care
full consideration: Last month Supt
Folsom of the B. & NJ. X. K. made com
plant to the agent here that his expenses
for help during the winter months were
more than they ought to be.
An investigation as to the number OF
shipments received by Gov. Page during
the last three months of each of the
years 1891 to 1897 revealed the fact
that there had been constant and con
tinuous increase. In order to show tn
exact percentage of increase year by
year. the year 1891 was taken as TIL
standard or unit with which 20 max
comparisons, and calling this year 100
or 100 per cent, the exact gain per cen
is shown bv the following figures:

In other words, there were three and
thirty-one hundredths times as manv
shipments received in 1896 as in 1891 I,
and the number of shipments have nearly
doubled in the past two years.
Confess for arguments sake that Gov.
Pages close attention to business, his ex-
celient business methods and his system
of so subdividing his stock as to give
every tanner the exact speciality required
for his production. are responsible for
the larger part of this increase, and yet
we believe every candid man will con-
TESS that there is a large margin to be
otherwise accounted for to provide for
this wonderful growth.
A pound of fact is worth ton of
theory, and the facts are that 10 other
man in the hide trade pays as much, and
we presume not one-tenth as much, for
printers ink as Mr.. Page, and when we
combine that quintette Of Progressive
p's--Push, Pluck. Persistency, Printers
ink and Page-the results are easily ac-
counted for.
Moral: Do not hide your light under
a bushel. Be enterprising. Let the
world know what you are doing. Pat
ronize the printer. 1t pays.

THURSDAY, JUNE "a, 1897.
VICTORY MAY BE WON.

We have heard Republicans say that 1t
is almost useless try to drive Democracy
from power as long as it has control of the
election machinery in the State, or the
present election law is in force. The task
we admit is hurcllean one. There can be
no denial ofthe fact that in many Of the
eastern counties of the State Democratic
election officers do not scrurp!e to practice
the most outrageous frauds upon the ballot
box. In those counties where the negro
maiorities are largest the Democrats, by
the use of the present election law, have
secured their largest majorities. This
proves one of two things, that the claim
of the Democrats that the negro vote is
almost solidly Republican is untrue, or that
the election officers are stealing the negro
votes for Democratic candidates. With
such unlimited means for the employment
of fraud and such positive proof presented
that the grossest fauds are practiced by
election officers, it is no wonder Repub-
ems are discouraged. But wrong cannot
always triumph and the right will eventually
prevail.
There is a very large element in the
Democratic party in Virginia that is weary
of the election methods of the party, and
dissatisfied with its Populistic tendency.
This element will ultimately assist the
Republicans in securing fair election law,
which will furnish honest elections
throughout the Commonwealth and settle
the contention of the Republicans that a
free ballot and fair count will place Virginia
in the Republican ranks.
1t may be that the coming election will
afford an opportunity go long desired by the
Republicans. The Democratic organization
is determined to make the Chicago platform
the shiboleth of its faith in the coming
campaign. No matter what may be the
individual views ofmembers Of the party
on the money question, and others equally
important raised by the Chicago platform,
the individual voter will have to abandon
his convictions and subscribe to doctrines
he despises or be treated as deserter ano
enemy. The gold Democrats OF proper
courage and SET respect will not be likely
to tameIy submit to such treatment
There will be a revolt in the ranks, ano
that revolt ay bring an opportunity fol
securing fair elections in Virginia. Othe
things may conspire to bring confusion ant
dissension into the ranks ofthe Democratic
Populisti; combination. Republicans
should therefore be hopeful and ready.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-06-24

OUR esteemed contemporary the Rich
mond Times must be very fond of being
snee,e ed at by the Democratic press of
Virginia. 1t continues to make suggestions
about what action shall be taken by the
Roanoke Convention, and its Democratic
friends keep OH telling it the party neither
wants its advice or support. Therd is but
one way for the Times to put itself in favor
with the Democratic-Populistic combin-
alton, and that is to acknowledge that it
did wrong in 1896. Then the combination
will receive its support but never its advice.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-06-24

Our Democratic friends are very i'm
patient, and are constantly complaining
because Mckinley has not, in a little less
than four months, relieved them from the
terrible condition produced by. four years
of Democratic government. They must
wait and let the Republicans do it in their
way. The patient is now in the hands Of
the Republican physician, and he will
prescribe the medicine which tie disease
demands. The medicine is now being put
up labelled Protection" 1t will prove,we
have no doubt, fine tonic and splendid
