N OUR DISTRICT.

besides the election for the. pres
dency, the membership of the Ma
tional House of Representatives
must be determined at the election
on the End of November. 1t will not
do for the voters. TO overlook this.
Virginia has nine Democrat mem
bers of this body and they are fine
men; every one. but frankly we do
not believe that any district in the
L. s.; is better represented than ours.
Mr., Moore has been in Congress
iustsabout two years and he has for
ged to a place in the estimate Of his
fellows that few men reach III a ten
