We urge upon all such Judges to conduct
the election in their respective precincts
in such a way as to give the Republicans
no pretext even for crying fraud after the
election is over: we urge them to be
careful to make the election SO fair and
honest as to be above question and above
suspicion. The great body of Virginia
Democrats demand this. No one thing
could be done at this time to injure tho

fraud In next Tuesdays election The
Democrats of Virginia simply will not
stand for it.
We have no reason whatsoever to be-

|lae7e weekly newspapers, with a total
circulation OF nearly forty millions. These
figures do not indicate that the day Of
the weekly newspaper has passed. 1t ia
true that the daily newspaper is l,ecofn-
ing more and more into general cireula-
ton, and the rural FREQ delivery is lend
ing valuable aid, but the metropolitan
daily, With all It's fine features. cannot
take tho place OF theSweekly paper In the
rural districts. The local paper deals
especially with local news. with bits Of
neighborhood gossip concerning persons
and things which the metropolitan paper
does no, cover, and. In addition, there
vertlscments OF lnnd sales, announce
ments OF meetings, and all chat sort Of
thing. which make a local paper not only
entertaining, but Indispensable to every
family which wants to keep in touch with
neighborhood affairs Many families In
the rural districts take a daily newspaper,
but they take the local paper also. und II
they had to give up one or the other the
chances are that most OF them would
give up the daily.
For these reasons the weekly news
papers OF Virginia have a larger circula-
ton to-day. and are more generally pros
porous than ever they were In the history
Of Virginia. Any man who doubts this
statement may have his doubts removed
by attending n meeting OF the Virginia
t,l.t
tho most part, of country editors. Their
reports from year to year are more and
more encouraging, and they show III their
appearance that they are prosperous.
We arc somewhat reluctant to make
the tatemcnt, for 1t may sound like fiat
terry, but the statement is true, that the
editors OF the country newspapers in Vir-
ginia IRE men of intelligence, integrity
and OF clean life. They are jolly. warm
hearted and sociable, but they are tenn
pcrate In all things. and their conduct
at their annual meetings Is above criti-,
cism. ID r.
A few years ago the proprietor of a
hotel at which the association met re-
marked to several of the members that the
Virginia Press Association was, without
exception, the best behaved body Of men
he"had ever in a long experience enter
tanned.
1t follows of necessity that these edi-
tors are men of influence at home, and he
who thinks that the rural press of Virginia
is not power in politics and all affairs
Of state is poorly informed as to the fact.
In our opinion 1t was never more influ-
entail than it Is to-day.
