A FRAUD ON ITS FACE.
Rockingham Register.]

Some of cur State exchanges are
printing a fac smile of the ballot pre-
yided for the late election by the
electoral board OF Scott county, in this
State. 1t is not easily described to q
person unfamiliar with terms used in
the prin ing office, but it is sufficient
to stale, that so jumbled and mixed up
were the names of the candidates for
President and Vice President and their
respective electors their was such an
absence of captions and paragraphs
that probably not FIVE men in one h1n-
Gre !, of full average intelligence, could
mark the ballot with any assurance
that the marking indicated, within tie
legal requirement, how they desired to
vote Further than that, we do not
believe that any man, no matter how
keen of comprehension or adept IN the
use of the pencil, could at the first at
Tempt mark it correctly within the time
allowed by law.
Not to mince words, we believe that
this pa ticular ballot was designedly
arranged 20 mystify and mislead the
voter. 1t was fraudu ent in it. pur'
pose and fraudulent on its face, and
| tn, electoral beard which directed the
printing and the county Judge who
| assisted in the stamping of such a
ballot were guilty Ct fraudulent act.
This may be strong statement, but it
is the plain, unvarnished truth.
The Re lister is Democratic news
paper-a Demo or9ar, if you
choose-and its record for party SER
vice, its loyalty to Democratic princi-
pies and Democratic candidates upon
all occasions, gives it the right to pro-
test IN the name of the Democratic
| p ,rty against juat such methods as are
reflected by this Scott county ballot.
The plea may be that this expedient
was resorted to IN behalf Of party
success. Such an excuse is as bad as
the offense itself. We do not believe
that success by fraud is better fer any
party or for any man than honorable
defeat. We do not believe that the
end justices the means any more in
politics than in business or in religion.
A temporary advantage to be attained
cannot compensate for an indelible
stain OF dishcnor, leaving out of the
question the ignominy of delayed but
inevitable day of reckoning.
1t is high time for Democrats to
disclaim and dencunce official cor.
ruption such as is disclosed by this
Scott county performance. II is a
plain question of right and wrong and
no political party can afford to ccndone,
much less endorse, vi hat is clearly i'm
moral. But even viewed from The
standpoint of expectancy, the continued
practice OF fraud must in time react
alike upon its perpetrators and its
benefciaries, and no political organi-
zation therefore can afford to endorse
corruption-even as matter of policy.
1t is not only right to be honest, but
it pays in the end.
The Democratic people Of Virginia
are honest and the Democratic organ
ization, as whole, is an honest organ
ization. 1t will be good thing, and
the time has now arrived for it, When
dishonest methods shall lee der ounced
and dishonest men retire from official
positions in which they bring reproach
alike upon their party and upon the
fair name of the Common wealth.

horns here today in old-fashioned

publican crowd listened to speeches
by Yerkes, Congressman S. J,

pie, and Mr.. Dunlap spoke TO an
overflow meeting of 300 or 400.
Messrs. Wheeler and Kehoe spoke
to 5000 people in the courthouse

out in street parade with four
bands and over 1000 men in line.

A VERY OBLIGING TAILOR.
Administered well-Dsserved Rebuke to
a Customer with His Ready Chalk.


A well-known London tailor was
spending his holiday at a seaside re-
sort, and one morning on the pier he
met a customer.
Good morning" said the latter.
"Good morning, sir" replied the
tailor, who then passed on.
"Stay just a minute, want to show
you this coat" replied the other; "it
doesn't seem to fit me at all"
The tailor was a man of ready wit.
He stopped, looked carefully at the
coat, and then drawing a piece Of
chalk from his pocket, said:
"You are right; the coat wants tc
be taken in here, and let ont there
and shortened here, ana just Bit
heightened there" and at each ''here'
and ''there" be made heavy chalk,

"Now," he continued, as he saw a
curious crowd had gathered round,
eff you will just take that coat up to
London, marked as it is, my manager
Will see that it is altered to your sat
isfaction."
The tailor, who did not like to have
his holiday thus interrupted by bust
ness, had'adopted this methOd to mark
his displeasure. The customer lost
no timein bailing cab and driving to
his hotel, where the chalk was soon
rubbed oH.-London Tit-Bits.

There is a thrilling story of dan

days by the master of Canadian
fiction, Charles G. d. Roberts. a
wounded ensign beloved by two
girls is saved by both, solely be-
cause Of the selfrenunciation of one,
who goes back to die in order to de-
lay his pursuers. 1t is a skillful
piece of heart anguish done into

a picturesque Chinese article illus
trated by several genuine photo

thing in the present rush oil Chinese
literature. The Delineator is
