WHY BARNES TOOK IT.


The nomination of j. Walter Barnes
for congress in this district by the
Democrats was under rather peculiar
circumstances. The day OF the conven.
tiou some Of the lenders Of the party
held conferences and decided that none
Of them could afford to take it owing
to the hoPlessness Of the situation and
then they had what they Thought was a
happy Thought and 50 they went forth

N tap the Golfers OF that corporation in
the event he accepted, but, for business
reasons that gentleman declined. Then
they were Mt sen again, but something
mad to be done and the figure of the
superintendent of another corporation
came fitting by and they chased it.
They found it to be that of Barnes
But even he was in no disposition or
mood to be led into the ways that are
dark and without hope, but they finally
impressed him with the fact that there
is n considerable floating vote in the
district and they held out the idea to
him that if the state were to 60 Demo.

Barnes to take the empty honor and
thus was narrowly averted the situa.

district going begging for candidate

The fact that there was withdrawal
from the senatorial convention, before
any thing had happened to show the
strength of the opposing elements, or
rather the contestants, is sufficient to
convince the voters that the side that
withdrew recognized that it lid not
have the majority of the votes. That
is true always. The minority ill-advis-

Candidate Cornwen talks very gIibly
Of the Democracy's plans for the reform
Of orr tax laws but fails utterly TO
outline any detailed proposition which
viii relieve the people and equaIize the
burdens. Mr.. Cornwell says the Demo
cratic idaa is to relieve the taxpayers
gradually and surely, but he does not
reveal how 81 when the thing is to be
done. In recent article attempting
to reply to the Hon. George c. sturgiss,
he tells a tale Of Democratic Obstruction

proven their efficacy but on the main
questions involved in the tax bills
agreed upon by the Republicans ae is
silent except for n few glittering gen
eraiities which viii not fool the people
If, as Mr. Cornwell AYERS, the Demo
cratic party is SO heartily in favor of
tax revision, may we be permitted to
ask why the party took no step in That
direction when it was in full control OF
every department OF the state govern
ment? The evils which now exist in
our system of taxation were just as
fragrant under Democratic rule as they
are today, and yet the Democratic party
in its long lease OF power never made
any attempt whatever to bring about
the mucn needed changes. 1t was con
tent to let tine tax laws stand as they
were since the war; It was satisfied
with the antiquated and unequal sys-
tenn handed down to us by old Virginia.
II had neither the courage nor the in
cIination to even propose modern plan
which would do away with the past and
bring our tax laws up to the require
ments of the times. On the other inand
the Republican party's record is one OF
achievement. despite Democratic OBJ
struction. 1t had not been long in
power until the agitation for better,
fairer system began and it nobly in
3augurated the reforms promised at the
recent special session. of the Legislature.

summation if intrusted with power

hope of true tax reform lies with the
Republican party.

THE REPUBLICAN way.

All our state institutions ara in
splendid condition. Large sums nave
been expended in buildings for the. Nor.
mai Schools. University, Preparatory
Schools, Miners Hospitals, Insane Asy-
lumns, Reform Schools and humane re.
formatory and penal institutions, as
well as the Capitol. All these expenses
nave been betrayed without increasing
direct state taxes. on property, and with
small increase in the valuations Of real
and personal property for purposes of
state or local taxation or revenue.
Waen the Democrats turned over the
state administration and books to the
Republicans at the end of Governor
Nlaccorl1le's term there was an apparent
balance of s2ss. 9so45, but deficits and

THAT EDITORIAL INDIFFERENCE.

The lethorgy ana lack of enthusiasm
among Democratic newspapers all over
the country in the present national cam
paign have caused no end of anxiety
among the leaders of the party of a
forlorn hope. In recent Issue of the

OF the Democratic country editors fail

DIR. Weymouth, according to the in

about printing any Democratic cam,
