printed interviews with members Of the
Legislature OF that State showing. as IT
says. an almost unanimous sentiment in
favor of radical changes in the election
laws Of Kentucky. And the Dispatch
tells us editoriaily that several of the
gentlemen interviewed expressed pre-
ference for the Virginia law, "a measure
which has operated with great satisfac-
ton to the people Of Virginia, insuring
fair elections and at the same time pro
tecting the intelligence and virtue Of the
State against those who are ignorant or
those who might be corrupt
We do not know just what the Dispatch
and its friends are after If they are
looking for an election law under which
the party in power may perpetuate Its
power, then the Virginia law is just the
thing. But if they are DESTROYS Of law
that will insure honest elections, they Will
shun the Virginia law as they would the

The idea that the Parker law is mas
querading abroad as ''insuring fair cleo
