Virginia votes tomorrow. The cam

the confines oi the state. For two rea.
sons.
~ The republicans held what was
called, and what in fact was, white
mans convention. Men of col-r were
excluded on account OF the~ color.
Some Of their leaders resen,sd this,
called a convention composed exclu-
sively Of colored men, and n.sminated
q state ticket of their own. Three
tickets, therefore, are in the field-a
democratic ticket, a white republican
ticket and a colored republican ticket.
(2) The white republican candidate
for governor has made his campaign
on the proposition that the real issue
is not political, properly speaking, but
Of a business character. He has
charged that the democrats, who for
years have been in control of the
state, have had an eye only to political
supremacy, and in that way neglected
or mismanaged the states business In
terests. He has promised that if elect
ed he will give the people a strictly
business administration, and put the
states affairs on business basis.
As usual, there are on the eve Of
election conflicting claims. The demo
cratic managers declare that their
candidate for governor will receive
tho largest majority thrown for a
democratic standard-bearer in many
years, while the republicans. encour-
aged by the accession to their ranks
Of number Of business men hereto
fore prominent in democratic circles,
are predicting success, and some put
the figure as high as $4,000.
The republican appeal is SO bold and
unusual in a southern democratic
stronghold, the result is awaited with
much more than ordinary interest,
and will be searched for suggestions
as to the future, not only in Virginia
but elsewhere. =.

place there he was only a part Of the

Of two-thirds Of that body before it

have been SO much influenced by him.
And had they further known and
considered that he himself was fgnor.

that feeling of resentment had been
aroused by the fact, they would have
been still more careful Of what they

Viewed from the front. the smphi.

Empty, it is eloquent Of possibilities.
Filled on ceremonial occasions, it is

and representative American officials
and citizens to participate In q cere.
mony of unusual import, the reburial
in American soil Of an unknown sol.
dier who went to France under the
Stars and Stripes to fight in the world

theater had no conception Of the pos

not much larger than the rostrum

lack of size does not lessen the signifi-

most eloquent men have spoken there.
And it should be preserved always as
souvenir of the first work Of ma
tional commemoration of sacrificial
patriotism. e.
Across the river from the new

National Capital memorials, that to
Lincoln. Though not formal
ly dedicated, it is now open to the
public, and it proves one Of the most

through colonnade are gained vistas

complete state Of the approaches,
thrilling in their peculiar vividness and
effective composition. The massive
statue of the war President dominates
the interior and gives all beholders a
deep sense Of the great personality Of
Lincoln. At night bright lights shin
ing upon this classic pile cause 1t to
stand out in the darkness Of the park
and river beyond. To the east glows
the dome Of the Capitol, that struc-
ture Of unequaled beauty. shining like
a beacon. The memorial, lower and Of
different form, bounds the great park
on the west. In no other city in the
world is such scene presented.
