The facts of the case are a follows.

The Jewish New Year.

Rosh-Ha-ShO-Nah, the Jewish
New Year, will begin after sun

next evening.
This observance, known in the
faith as the Sabbath of Sabbatbs.

The season comes later this wear

much solemnity attached to these

Money Talks.

The campaign expenses of most
of the recent candidates. are now
before the public. 1t seems that
MIR. Martin spent something over
$1,000. Gov. Montague some
thing over $1,000.
Mr.. Martins majority over Gov.
Montague Is please by the official
figures Of the State Democratic
Committee at 1854. If money
counts in an election Mr.. Martin 5
success many be attributed TO the
fact that he spent $1,000 whilst
Gov Montague spent only 81. 900.
1t therefore may be argued that
Mr.. Martin was by far the better
politician since he was able not
only TO place more money than
Gov. Montague, but to place it
where it did more good. The win
ming vote Is the one 10 command.
and the susceptible voter is the one
to be sought. Mr.. Martin 5 money
being more plentiful and his ave
nueS of approach being probably
better toward those who might be
influenced. he was successful. The
cost to Mr.. Martin of his majority
was something over one dollar per
vote. This Is considered cheap. a
two dollar bills were the ones used
some time ago in the presidential
election. and in some local option
elections we have heard Of - and
$40 being paid right along.
1t seems. however, tobe we'll set
tied now in Virginia as in other
parts of the United States. that the
man with the longest purse gets
the Office. 1t is rumored. how
ever, that the $1,000 reported by
Mr.. Martin. whilst it may be his
individual contribution. was by no
means the real amount that went
into the campaign in his behalf.
There are those who believe that
one of the principal railroad cor
porations of the United States
turned loose for Mr.. Martin =
benefit large sums of money.
There was certainly plenty of
Martin money everywhere. There
Is no denying that Mr.. Martin $
vote which gave about three mil
lion dollars of the peoples money
to help build 4 railway station i'm
Washington, did warm the railway
heart toward him. because they
saw in him Just the man they
needed, and if they were not CRATE
ful they are indeed without a soul.
1t Is rather hard on Mr.. Martin
that he should have spent more
than q third of his next terms
salary in re-electing himself. but
If he i thrifty he may get it all
back with usury. There was once
a faithful steward who was given
ten talents. Mr. Martin should read

Mr.. Kent impressed his audience
aSaneloqucnt and forccful speaker.
and NE WAS given close attention
and every courtesy, Judge Harri-
son having granted recess of
court i'm order that the speakers
might have the use of the court
room.
Captain Kent's strongest points
were made over the continued re-
fuSrl or neglect of the Democratic
party OF Virginia to give better
schools, better roads. and free
school books TO public school chill
dren, even after having passed
resolutions favoring such improve
ments IN several party platforms.
He said the Republican party Is
pledged Ia increase the appropria-
tlons for school purposes. give free
books 10 every child in the public
schools OF Virginia, and that the
National Republican party will
use every effort To secure the pas
sage of an act of Congress provid-
ing for the construction Of puplic
highways at National and State
expense.
Mr.. Kent laughingly referred to
the late primary and the truths
which had been told by the candi-
dates therein.
The speaker took occasion to
read from a statement by Hon. j.
Aston Cabell, who was a candidate
against Hon. !. Taylor EllySon for
acknowledgements before the pri-
mary. He said that a bill was
introduced in Virginia legislature
providing for the purchase of free
school books by the State. Itpass-
ed the lower house. and was refer
red To the Senate. When the vote
was taken, it showed l3 for the bill
and - against it. Hon. j. Taylor
Ellyson, member of the Senate.
than rose and said that he had not
been recorded as voting, and that
he wanted to vote against the bill.
That made a tie vote. The speaker
of the Senate, Hon. John +. Mas
sey, then cast the deciding vote,
against the measure, and it was de-
feated Ii to IL.
Mr.. Blair. who followed Mr..
Kent, is a talker of ability. and his
anecdotes and comparisons were
sometimes laughable.
Mr.. Blair said that the people
of Virginia speaking particularly
of Democrats had followed the
same paths for many years, and
that their motto seemed to be Il
am what | was; | will be what
am"
He told his audience that when
he reached the age of twenty-One
he looked about him to see what
party he should support, and had
decided for the Republican, be-
cause he believed it the most pro-
gressive, and because he believed
it offered more assistance to the
efforts of the poor man. He called
the attention of his hearers to the
fact that his father, an ex-Confed-
crate soldier, had served the State
on the same ticket with Col. Chas,
T. O'FerralI, recently deceased,
Mr.. Blair quoted at length from
a pamphlet by Senator Thomas, of
Lynchbur2, y Democrat, who stated
that the first steps taken in Nir-
ginia toward the establishment OF
, a public school system was by the
Underwood Convention of 1869,
which was Republican.
A majority of the audience were
Democrats, but there was respect
full and courteous attention shown
throughout both speeches, which
consumed more than two hours.
The two gentlemen left on the
$50 train Monday evening fol
