AN IMPORTANT ELECTION
A very important election is to take
Mace in Virginia next Fall; and we urge
tbe republicans of the State, and OF the
Tenth Congressional District especially,
to commence preparing for the contest
Every Republican who has not register.
ed should register without delay, and all
who are on the registration books should
sec that their poll-taxes are paid. There
remains only about twenty-five more
DAYS for the performance of that impor-
tant duty.
Atthe coming election State Senators,
Members of the House of Delegates, and
County Treasurers, Sheriffs and Com
monwt alth's Attorneys are to be elected
1t is important that the Republicans OF
Virginia should elect as many of these
officers as possible as well as members OF
the General Assembly. The party had
very respectable minority in the last
legislature and that minority can be very
largely increased. There are many is
sues upon which the Republicans car
assail the Virginia Democracy. The
many gross iniouities of the new Consti
Union will become more distasteful &c
the people as they become more familiar
~ them Honest men will continue Il
revolt against the numerous partisan OBJ
str,lctions that have been placed betweef
voters and the ballot box. Another yer,
nnnonular feature of the Constitution is
the taking away from the. people, the
rigbt to elect 70 many of their officers
this is especially true as to Commission
ers of the Reye nue. -
The Virginia Democracy. will also D
he assailed for the corruption and mis-
management that have prevailed in man!
Of ihe Departments ofsthe' State Govern
ment There will be much to say abou
craft in the Corporation Commission
she Department of Education, the Stat
7, library and the Encouragement OF tn
Eastern Hospital at Williamsburg Eyer
Democratic newspapers have been DIS
gusted with the farcial Investigations o
legislative committees. that have reSulte'
in finding unclean spots only to have a.
abundance of whitewash applied to cove
