become a candidate for G congressional
honors in his District, the Ten h. and
we trust that his popularity may carry

Mr. Barclay in politics, we are con-
vinced that no more worthy and capable
man can be placed in the field by either
ra"ty. A true son of Virginia, his
empty sleeve is mute witness to his
loyalty aud devotion to his State, a
devotion which would be as loyal in
the Legis 'ative halls as on the battle
