But we thnls IL appropriate to say that
the patrons Of the extensive electric lines
of this company nteAver much dells hieo
at the change Of ownership. The opera
tion OF these lines rrider Mr.. Fishers
Snpnagement was most unsatisfactory TO
tlie public; the operation of the lines uil.
der htr. Gould's ownership and MIR.
HUNS management is etiinently satisfac-
tory Indeed, the service Is so good that
there is llttle to complain OF, and IT IL
rarely that we hear any complaint what
soever. To the people Of Richmond, the
people OF Manchester, tho people Of Pc
stersburg and those who live along the
extensive lines Of the Virginia Pas
senger and Power Company It would be
"a misfortune, indeed, for Mr.. Gould aifd
4 his associates to be retired. 81
II The Republicans are doing their best
TO get up ia show OF enthusiasm In their
convention, and are even resorting to
tricks, such us sprnging a portrait or
Roosevelt upon the delegates. But 1t Is
a tamc convention, and the enthusiasm
is manufactured to order. But wait TIL
the Democrats assemble in st. Louis!
Then the lwelkln will ring, tho little hills
will skip and the stars will clap their
hands. They are the people.

terings, which display was always SO de,
llightful to the average Southern dele
gate.

The President is now having the most
quiet time Of his eventful career. All

y Chicago Is tame enough. Walt week
or two and you will hear something
that sounds like a sure-enough National
Convention coming over tho wires from
