he stands no chance whnteycr for being
nominated and elected. He say, that he
has four sons, and Il has been his des.re
and ambition TO have them live in Viz

that under existing conditions his Only
hope now is TINT he may be aoic to dis
pose OF rs property at fair Waite ana
take or send his sons to some other
State. where the will of the people may be
regarded and where they can enter the
race of life with fair chance of success
and with the assurance that political.
ring will not dominate.
This is a terrible Indictment, and the
worst part of it is that It is true There
is an officc-hoiders' trust in Virginia
There are a few men who dominate the
politics of this State, and, more's the pity,
IN some of the counties of the State cleo
tons are mere shums and do not pretend
to register the viii of the people.
How long will this sort Of thing be toll
Grated IN Virginia? How can we hope to
maintain the position Of honor which this
State has always occupied? How can We
hope to induce desirable settlers to come
here? How can we hope to keep our
bright and ambitious young men so long
us we permit ourselves to be dominated
by ring and the suffrage to be de-
bauchcd2 We say that 1t is time to stop.
The whole wrctched business is demoraliz-
ing the State and bringing Us into public
contempt.

letter from 4 correspondent saying that

ruption. Now comes another correspon-
dent with similar declaration 1t IS
