Since our last letter to TnE FREE LANCE
we have had the pleasure OF visiting the
iairy-like Capital of the United states
and witnessing the imposing ceremonies
of the second inauguration of President
Mckinley. The inaugural parade was a
pageant rarely ever seen, although the
ARRANGEMENTS were somewhat dcmoral-
lied by the inclemcncy Of the weather.
Yet in all that splendid array oi military
grandeur which was 50 immense M to
require nearly four hours To pass gwen
point. there was no body ot men that
presented a finer or more sOldierly ap-
pearance. or received more applause than
those gallant men that marched under
the emblem Of the Old Dominion.

To Tmr FREE LAME:

To TnE FREE LAME:
As your paper takes broad ground ON
the suffrage question for fair vote.
please publish the following review on
| that question:
Hon. ". A.. Jones, in his published in
teryicw, says that none ought To I've dis
qualified from voting, except the wi
cious" by the Constitutional Convention
when il meets, but he entirely fails To tell
how the article in the to-be-Constitution
is to be worled to accomplish this result.
Something like this might beimagined To
cover his idea: "All male citizens Oi the
United States who have been residents
Of Virginia for - months aud the county
wherein they offer to vote for q months
before the election shall be qualified yo-
/ ters in Virginia, except the vicious.
/ This wouh leave the whole matter to
| determine the yiciOus Ia the Judges oi
election. In plain words, the machine
would still be all powerful, and could
exclude any voter not agreeable to the
ring. and the certificate of election
awarded To candidates who never ~
ceiyed a majority according to the inten-
tion of the voter.
II Mr.. Jones desires every qualified yo-
ter to have his ballot polled and counted
rs intended, 10 be honestly carried out.
might not n provision OF this nature
have been suggested 10y him NJ mn abso-
lutte protection to the ballot:
lst. The Legislature at the first session
after the adoption Of this Constitution
shall make n law Of this kind-Anyone
bribeing a voter, or offering pay 10 one
in any form to vote, shall be deemed
guilty of n felony. The voter shall be
free from prosecution il the bribe il ne
cepted or not and shall be "A competent
witness against the accused
2nd. II any officer of election shall
make out ticket for voter at the cleo
toral or voting place different from the
voters instruction he shall be guilty OF a
felony. On suspicion by the voter that
his ticket was being prepared contrary
to his wishes he shall take the ticket to
any person he may select To examine 1t
and determine the correctness OF the
ticket. and il found to be wrong the vo-
ter shall keep the ticket and the judges
of election shall give him another to be
fixed by person of his own selection
and voted accordingly.
3rd If any Judge of election shall ex-
change the ballot handed by the voter
for deposit in the ballot box for another
ballot and deposit the latter in the box
as the true ballot Of the voter he shall be
guilty of a felony.
4th. Each voter after the ballot is pre-
pared shall write his name in ink or in
delible pencil across the back of the fold
ed ballot. And il from any cause the vo-
ter cannot do this, he shall select some
person to do it for him, and in addition
to the voters name on the back OF the
ballot shall sign his own name thus
"John Smith by Sam Brown" then the
ballot to be returned to the voter for de
pOsit in the ballot box.

To THE FREE LANCE:
have read n good deal about the
Constitutional Convention, the most
striking being the remarks OF Congress-
man Jones. am not in favor of dis
franchising any one. no matter what
their condition may be. All men should
be treated fairly before the law, whether
they he white or black. There is n great
deal of ignorance in both races. II there
is any plan TO be put in operation let it
amply to all men alike, in the name OF
Justice. An ignorant white man has no
more right to vote than an ignorant
black. The pure and right sentiment il
the only way by which we should live
We should always impress upon our vo-
ters the necessity of having good and
straightforward men to represent MS, en-
acting laws for the peoples good. There
is hardly living man to-day who be-
lieves that il n new Constitution isframed
it will add as much as per cent. i'm
provement upon the present one. What
the State wants most is pure election
law. What the people have to fear is in
not having men to represent us who
have n kind and Christian heart. In this
Constitution question it appears to me
that the past Legislature could have fix
ed some way by which all voters could
be protected. However, we hope to see
some good result obtain.
