John Ryan for Governor.

We would like TO see Hon. John
Ryan, present speaker of the House
of Delegates, elected Governor of
Virginia. Mr.. Ryan has been speaker
of the House for number of terms,
and has been member of that body
since the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary. He has an intimate
acquaintance with the affairs of the
State, and his retention in his present
position for SO long time goes to
show, that he is a man of sound sense,
and one who makes few mistakes.
No son of Virginia loves her more,
than does the gentleman from Lou
doun, and there are few citizens of
the olG Commonwealth who are as
much beloved. The only objection
to Mr.. Ryan that we have ever heard
advanced from friend or foe, is, that
he is an old bachelor, and wont get
married. We think this objection
might be remedied, and that the
name of John +. Ryan be added to
the names of Willard, Anderson,
EllysOn, and Swanson, as guberna-
tional candidates.

The Richmond Horse Show

The Richmond Horse Show comes

in some fifteen or twenty counties in
the State, and the progress in raising
equine ideals is so great as to attract
the attention of many eastern buyers
to the horses of this State. An
agreeable consequence of this i'm
provement is the better price the
breeder how deservedlv gets for his
fine stock. Let the good work 20 on
There can not be too many horse

the bad ones will die for want of sup
port. 1t is unnecessary to say that
the one held at the State Capital has
