CLEANSE THYSELF.

For more than year the Democratic
press in Virginia has been teeming with
acknowledgements that there was aud Is
q fearful condition OF corruption existing
in the politics of the State. The party
leaders, on the stump, through Interviews
and bv declarations in the CONSTITUTIONS
Convention, have been making the SAINT
admissions; and both the press and the
leaders have been expressing earnest de
sires to have the degrading and democrat
izing condition removed. The most
urgent reason they have assigned for hold
ing a convention and reforming The or
ganic law of tie Commonwealth was the
necessity for getting rid Of the "cankernp
sore" which they all admit has been de
stroying the moral life Of tie people To
accomplish tlItir purpose they have fran
ed most drastic suffrage measure; and
are getiirg ready to enfurce it, without
first asking or securing the consent Of the
people.
1t is admitted that tie new suffrage Law
will have to be temporarily partially Ill
legally administered 10 effect the plans Of
the so-called r,formers in their proclaimed
purpose of purifying The electorate and
establishing honest elections. The "un-
Outstanding clause in the suffrage law, ii
is said, has been made with that design,
and many citizens SAY they have given
their assent to what they believe TO he a
vicious measure, only because 1t is to be
temporarily use +.
Those otherwise conscientious citizens
who have consented to the understand
ing clause, with the knowledge that it is
to be administered partially at the first
registration of voters after the new Consti'
tuition goes into effect, have made danger

themselves at the absolute mercy OF a

things its own way for many wears to
come.
: To establisl, honest elections in Virginia
the Democratic party will have to purge
itself of the unscrupuluus element that
has been controlling our elections for the
past twenty years This is very serious
task to undertake, ia view Of the fact that
this element MiIl be 10, ked to and en-
ploved to administer partially the "under-

AS it is, the good men OF the Democratic
party in Viglnia have pledged them
selves to bring about purity in elections,
and lave plead with the public to not

this branch of the Democracy We viii say,

honest people will have faith in your plans
