,,upGE RHEA,S STAND.

we cid not have before us Judge
Rhea's announcement when the article IN
Yesterdays paper concerning the situa-
ton in the Ninth District was written.
1t is an interesting coincidence. there
fore, that our remarks we're on all tours,
as the lawyers say, with the sentiment
expressed by Judge Rhea- He says that
he is sure that the Commissioners OF
Election were perfectly honest and cor
scfentious in their belief that the returns
from the disputed precincts should be re-
tected because Of legal technicaliues and
that they had no legal right to count tne
rotes, yet he believes that the two pre-
cincts Of Pattison and Mendoza belong 70
his opponent, and would probH bly, elect
him and entitle him to the certificate.
That being mis- belief Judge Rhea then
declares that even II a certificate OF cleo
ton should be awarded him by the State
Board OF Canvassers based upon the ex-
clus!on OF the precincts mentioned. ne
would decline 1t. That disposes of the
whole question In q way that reflects
great credit upon the honor and chivalry
OF Judge Rhea He is a good fighter.
and he hates to be beaten. He has been
uniformity successful in his undertakings.
and he is always ready to fight for his
rights. But he is unwilling to win upon
a mere technicality OF the law.
That was what The Times contended
for ard all that it contended for. We
deeply regret that Judge Rhea has been
defeated. He is a strong man. a true
virgin;an and loyal Democrat The ser.
vices Of All such men are needed in Con-
gress, particularly at this time. and it
Is pity for Judge Rhea to be supplanted
by a Republican. But the Democratic
party in Virginia stands for fair cleo"
tions. no matter what the result may be.
The negro vote is out Of the way. and
there is no sort of reason OF pretext why
elections should not be absolutely fair.
II the Republicans can beat Us. it is their
right to elect their candidates. If we can
not beat them by fair means. we must
certainly not try to beat them by techni-
calities
Judge Rhea has bravely and magnani-
mously declared the doctrine.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The meeting of the General Assembly is
always an interesting occasion for Rich
rnond. The members are either old ac-
ouaintances or very agreeable new ac-
Guaintances, and so the personal and So
oial feature gives an additional zest to
the gathering from Richmond's point of
view. Il is very pleasant for US to have
these representative incorporating all
sections Of the State-come here to spend
the winter, for they are charming ac-
quisitiors to our society, and they and
the ladies who come with them add no
little to our social functions. They are
very welcome, and we hope that the
members will enjoy Richmond as much
as Richmond will enjoy them.
AS for the business of the session. there
is much important work to be done. and
the session promises to be one of the long
what the members may regard as the
" Fighter matters we hope that they will
not overlook the proposed appropriation
for suitable exhibit at the st. Louis
Exposition We regard this as matter
Of great importance to the State. vir-
ginia has much to advertise. and she
should not neglect this splendid opportu-
,,.ty to let the outside world know what
itdlnite resources she has and what IN
dpcements she offers to investors and
home seekers. It would be bad, indeed.
should Virginia be conspicuous by her
absence and the failure to have an cx-
,.bit would be reflection upon our en-
terprise and progress.

DEMO- RACY VS.. SOCIALISM.

Some time ago when the coal strike
was on. the .Accomac News. which I'M
hertook to defend the coal plank in the
New York platform. asked The Times
what remedy 1t had to offer by which
the public might get coal, that did not in
rolre either an agreement between the
mine owners and the workers. a thing
then improbable. or interference by the
National or State Governments
The News gays that The Tines evaded
the issue b. replying that the coal strike
was settled. The Times evadcd nothing.
1t is true that we replied as tie News
has said. but we explained fully what
~as inADlied in that reply. We said that
the tanity and conservative and over
e,hainaina sentiment of the American peo-
Die prevailed and we believe tina, ii will
always prevail to prevent such contin-
gency as the News suggested.
But, says our contemporary. the con-
tingency is likely to arise again and
