OPPOSITION TO MIR. ELLYsON

says one of Mr.. Ellyson's warm sup
porters, there is no active opposi-
ton to his nomination for Governor
of the State" Time enough, vet.
however. Some time ago there were
4 number of candidates mentioned,
and at least one or two formal an
nouncements of candidacy. 1t may
be that the candidates will all agree
to withdraw, and as in the case of
Governor Stuart, allow Mr.. Ellyson
to have the nomination without oppo-
sition. 1t would be graceful, prop
TT thing to do, perhaps. This, and this
time only would seem to be Mr.. Ely
sons time. If there is a good reason
why he should be Governor, there is
good reason why he should be Gov
ernor the next term. Evidently it
will be now or not at all No good
can come of a fight for the nomina-
ton. We believe that the rank and
file, with n few exceptions, of the
Democratic party in the State, arc
not only willing, but anxious to see
Mr.. Ellyson succeed Governor Stuart
in the gubernatorial office as a worthy
and deserved successor.

that she had Il lawful right to commit
the most brutal crime in history

The Republican, to have been en-
tlrely just and fair, should have not
quoted garbled extract. Following
the statement above made the Clinch
Valley News said: "This is not ius-
trying the way they did it, which was
heathenish and barbaric." But the
Republican chose to leave out this
part of the statement, not thinking,
perhaps not caring, that a wrong i'm
preston was made as to the position
Of the Clinch Valley News, and that
we endorsed the committal of "the

to constitute sign of the end of the

ment is surely at our doors" MAR
