Of cotton goods are IN a FIX. and there Is
a disposition on the part OF many Of them
to remove their plants TO Southern terri
tory. and the time is ripe. 1t seems to us.
for Southern cities TO bcstir themselves
and offer such inducements as they may
to the New England factories TO change
their location.
We cannot but believe that with proper
effort Richmond could locate one or more
New England cotton factories on the
hanks Of tn, James. and the subject is
we'll worth the attention OF tho Chamber
Of Commerce. That organization begins
the New Year with the determination
to bring new factories here and New
England is at this time a most promising
field in which TO operate.

pervcrt their will by the shameless use
OF money and the power OF combination
influences.
This. we believe. is tho beginning Of the
end OF our dainnablc election system.
We know Of no ono who has fought
more vigorously and more earnestly for
election. reforms than The Times. and We
welcome any and every expression from
whatever source in advocacy of honest
elections.
We arc gratined az the position that
Governor Tyler has taken on this qucs-
ton in the beginning OF his administra-
tloi. but we are still disappointed that he
stopped with a reference TO bribery, for
that Is not the whole evil nor Is II, in
our opinion. as some have asserted, the
root OF the evil. Bribe-givers should I'M
doubtedly. be apprehendcd and punished
as they deserve. but so also should those
who stun the ballot boxes who cheat
qualified voters out OF their votes, and
VINO make false returns.
Let Us not go az this thing in half
way fashion. While we are AZ 1t let MS
wipe ont the whole corrupt system and
purify the ballot. Let us be rid Of every
species of election corruption.
Wo take IL that Governor Tyler will
have something more 10 say on this sub
jet 10 the Legislature. and. in the In
terest Of good morals and good govern
ment, we hope that his message will deal
not only with one species Of fraud, but
will be broad enough and definite enough
to cover the whole case. His Excelency
has a great opportunity TO do the people
Of this Commonwealth q distinct service,
and we trust tina, he will not falter.
