Editor of The Times:

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-In connection with your very able
editorial in to-day's issue of your paper,
Under the head of .'01cKinIey's Example.
in which your show so conclusiyely that
every good man has a public duty. viz,
to use all the power at his hands FOR the
betterment and promotion of good gov
eminent, permit me to call your attention
to some of the very many persons why
so many good men do not use this power.
and as q private citizen of Virginia and
one of your constant readers to solicit
the influence of your paper in behalf of
what, in my opinion, is the most discOur-
aging thing the good man IN politics
must contend with and which keeps more
good men from doing all they can in the
interest of good government than any
thing else, viz: rotten and uuf-ir cleo
tons.
It is not Indifference on the part OF
good mon, but their absolute disgust
with our present farce elections as coa-
every community. and the absolute and
officers and public men who are consider
ed good men to this shameful state OF
affairs.
[ say Indifference because after decla-
ration and after declaration on the part
OF numerous speakers in our present Con-
stitutional Convention. we are offered an
outline Of a suffrage nIan that is IN insult
TO the age. We have seen and heard the
convention of 'fS called a convention of
foreigners, scalawags and carpet-ba Sgers
only to see the very men that so speak
sit by and let such law as is now offer
ed by our Suffrage Committee be suggest
II Ia Of mi iTYs nfF
to the age; far worse than that: it is a
crime against civilization and morality to
put in the organic law OF Virginia q
clause requiring it's citizens to So their
right to vote from a board OF three men
in every county.
This is what disgusts and discourages
good men. and especially after they have
done all IN their power to vote for the
very best men 20 make a Constitution.
Why not require all Except disabled
Confederate and Union veterans) to pay
So capitation six months before election
or to have $500 worth of property upon
which taxes is paid or to mark their.
own ballots in voting, or some require
ment that will put out the vicious and
ignorant voters and let every citizen come
UP to it.
This is the work of poll tfcians, and If
recognized or allowed to be put through
by the people of Virginia will be a terri
bIe misfortune. We want fair elections,
SO that after voting a man can reflect the
great satisfaction that if in the minority
there is no question about it. Again ask.
ing your aid in denouncins this insult TO
put morals and good Institutions.
I am yours. etc,

REPLY TO PRESIDENT BEMIss.

Messrs. B. t. Hobart and J. NJ. Bar
bee, representing Division 152, Anal
gamated Association, Street Railway
employees, have written polite and
dignifed reply to the letter of Presl-
dent Bemiss, Of the Richmond Trac.
ton, in which they present their side
of the case. Mr.. Bemiss had said chat,
according to the bylaws of the asso-
ciaition, every dismissal his company
might make was subjected to review
and vote by the union. and further that
no matter for what offense Il member
his conclusions were to be reviewed
by the association.
Messrs. Hobart and Barbee say in re
ply:
1t is true that such laws do exist
in our bylaws to an extent, but not
to the extent that every case was to
be investigated or that the union would
uphold each or anygcaSe on infractlon
Of the rules of the company. Covering
this discussion, we have a letter from
oul. international president, which was
published in the .NewS" of 4 month
ago, to the effect that rules OF the c0l!i-
pany must be Obeyed; but if rule
was obnoxious TO the employees they
could discuss it in their meeting. and
a majority of the members, feeling
such to be the case. might ask the
company to change it: but there was
no intention that we We're to resort &c
extreme measures in seeking to have
!: rule changed, or ito have any changes
made in the management of the com
pany's affairs
In view Of our comments on the let
ter of President Bemiss, we think II
but fair to reproduce the above extract
from the reply of AIessrs- Hobart and
Barbee. We have not meant to NEEDLE
in this affair." but simply to express
our approval Of a general principle of
business. which President Bemiss had
laid down.
