Mr. Wendenburg Is an experienced cam? paigner and will make a strong canvass. Mr. Bryant's friends stato that their man defeated Air. Wendenburg two year? ago. and confidently predict that he will win by a larger majority this timo than be? fore. Certainly Mr. Bryant IS sparing no effort to confirm tho faith of his fol? lowers, era. FOR THE HOUSE. Next in point of public interest to the race for Commonwealth'a Attorney Is that for the Houso of Delegates, for which Hon. Thomas W. Gardner, Judge T. Ashby Wlckham ahd others are re? garded as certain candidates. Mr. A. von N. RoBenegk Is nlso regarded as a candi? date, and will have a Btrong following. Tne fourth man mentioned Is Mr. JnmeB Russell, who has run before. Mr. Gard? ner has tho prestige of an Incumbent. Judge Wlckham Is tho present county Judge, whoso ofllce Is abolished by the new Constitution, and Is one of tho strong? est men In the county for nny ofllco to which he may aspire. Mr. von Rosencgk Is very popular In the county, and his friends are hpoeful of his election. All threo of the candidates will poll a'large vote, fur the fact that all the other olllcos aVo to bo tilled at tho same election will bring out almost the entire vote regis? tered. Mr. F. M. Jones, ex-member of tho Houso, and Mr. W. J. Blnford, another ex-momber of the Houso, deBlro to return to that body, and are said to ba avowed candidates. The field Is al? ready full, and still there are others In prospect. In tho event that Mr. Bryant resigns the Senatorshlp before tho primary, It is said that Mosern. Alexander H, Bunds a.n.1 Addlson Mnupln, tho latter on ex member of tho House, will make the raco for tho unexplred term. There may be others. For county treasurer, Mr, William H. Brauer, tho Incumbent! Mr. Honry C. Hcchler and Mr. XV, J. Todd are candi? dates. For clerk of the court and the county, the. Incumbent, Mr. Samuel P. Waddlll, Is considered hard to beat, but Mr. John E. BioiidduB will measure strength with him In the September primary. For commissioner of the revenue In the upper district, Mr. Charles W.

Editor of Tho llmea-DIspatchi Sir,?W* country folks up hero in Ooochland would 111'? you to iinilerstnnr how we are looking at the Cloveland boom. Most of our foil's are too busy planting corn to writo you, and I am a ?oil-constituted committee of one .to ox press our vlows on thin subject. In the first place, wo don't want Mr. Cleveland, even If wo could get him. Wo want no man who thinks ho Is bigger than tho Democratic party. Wo don't want Mr. Bryan, for two reasons: first, because we can't get him, nii'l having been taught by our good mother never to cry for things wo enn't s"l, we have given him up; and, second, because Mr. Bryan has become a little soured, and thinks lie tin? been usod badly by a purt of tho Democratic party, und this has inndo til in gay thlnriH that ho no doubt does not rnrilly niean, but which many of his friends seem to regret. Both men nro shelved and we regard thorn hencoforth as so much newspaper inutorlol, which may bo resorted to In times of now? famln?>s. Now, if you would come out and whoop up our Governor or tell tho people what a Irlrr voto Mr. Swanson is going to get in the primary, then you would be doing somo good, Mr. F/flltor. Or, If you prefer, wo would wish you to toll tho people to gird up their loins and fix the roads and build somo decent schoolhousen, and pay tho touchers no they can llvo. Wo want to know, Mr. Editor, how a man can tench school When ho has to scratch his head all the time to find out tho rulo of one?how to mako buckle and tongue moot? Tell us, Mr. Editor, You may liavo taught school yourself. Now, we ha.Ve come to thn matter nJboitt which wo desired to write you. Wo want to know If you will help us to gel some good roads. Stop wasting your editorial breath on Mr. Bryan and Mr. Cleveland, and for goodneFs' sake, Mr. Editor, let up on Mr. Roosevelt, and his colored post? masters. Mr. Roosevelt Is Just plnvlng with his colored frlendn of the South. When h* gets tho nomination ho will si or? the show. Now, Mr. Editor, leave these matters s nil give your attention to home affairs. If you would Ju?t como up here and travel from tho State farm to our home you would Mv yoxir pravors moro than once, Mr. Editor. Wo want you to get these ronds fixed, Ton have gotten rid of the Monti bill and the Campbell tut* elusion act, nnd now p?ense get down to buslnens and fix our road*. If you don't know how to fix the roods, just bor? row the money for us. We w<ll spend It for von on tho ronds: and If we don't fix th* ronds to suit Von we will spend tlii mon?' to suit ourselves. Noiv, Mr. Editor, we nre going to give you n reasonnblo time to fix our roads, nnd If you don't do It we nre going to do It ourselves. Seo If we don't. P. A. I?. 8. Ooochland. Vs. The Davis Monument. Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch: Sir,?I have been Interested In the movement to erect a monument to Presi? dent Davis In Richmond, and realizo the difficult task the ladles have In the selec? tion of * proper design. Why not com? bine this undertaking with that of the Battle Abbey of the BouthT In connection with tho Abbey, several plans have sug? gested thsmeslves to me as appropriate In tho first plnco, let the building be cnll e?l the Jefferson Davis Momorlal Build Ing of tho South. Instead of thoTlattle Abbey, and let It bo built entirely with tho Abbey funds bo used for momorlal purposes In accordance with the original plan, but so constructed as to Include n statuary hall. Blmllar to the One in th? Capitol nt Washington. Then let thn ladles take tho money they have In hand nnd place In this hall, as Its chief central figure, a mngnllVccnt statue of Jefferson Davis, to which can bo added from time to time, subsidiary statues of distinguished Confederates, contributed by the different Southern States, say ono or two from each State. Or, If preferred, the monument could be placed In front. Instead of In the building. Then, axain, In connection with the Abbey, I can seo how appropriate how strictly memorial an arch would be, and, according to my Idea, morn suitable than either of tho above plans Supposo tho Abbey Is known as the Joffer son Davis Memorial Building of the South; Suppose thin building Is centrally located In ono of tin? many .beautiful parks of Richmond, and then supposa the arch, as originally designed by the ladles is erected over the main approach or driveway to the building, what a magnifi? cent and Imposing momorlal this would be? It would be one that not only Rich? mond, hut thn whole South would he proud of. I believe an arch would still he appropriate, though the bouldlng Itself should be known as tho Battle Abbey?for what would be more appropriate in driving to a memorial building than beneath a memorial arch? Theao Ideas may bo used, but I hope sufficiently suggestive a? to lend to sonn thing bettor than an Isolated statuo on soma dusty street corner, Yours truly, JAMES T. PRICKETT. Rural Retreat, Va., May 10, 1903. A Onrd From Mr. West. Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch: Sir,?Tn your Issue of th's date, It Is reported that I am a Candidate for mem? bership of the State Bdnrd of Education. There is no occasion for offenso lo ms; and I do not Intend this to be so under? stood, i While I do In every way appreciate the honor and the Importance that 0.0 with the appointment. I am not. either ac? tively or passively, a candidato. In ex? planation of mi own position, I may be pardoned for saying that Inasmuch as the State Board of Education Is tho op polntlng power of tho superintendents of Softools and Is fully posted as to thilr fitness, .1 would, under any circumstances deem It unbecom'ng in mo to present ?ny self before them for ndmlttaice to the'r ofliclal body. Moreover, my closeness to the members of tho Board In tho recent past and the faot that Dr. Kent and Prof. Bowles, both my friends of uvnv years, are my countymon, make It inle'i? cato for tho Board to appoint mo or for me to accent the appointment, ?omo members of the Board know my hai'tfen in this matter. This explains it to all. I am not a candidate. FRANK T. WEST. Supt. Schools Louisa. County. Huron, Louisa county, Va., May 19, 19?3, No Compromise for Prohibitionist?.

We have no compromiso to make with any party on this question. There will bo a big battle next foil In Virginia, The Republicans will iniike a strenuous effort to carry tho State. What position their convention will take on this whiskey question, no one can tell. But one thing1 Is almost certain. License or no license will ho rfne of the- Issucn In tlint campaign, In /the prisant uta o of ' tho public mind, It seems Impossible to Ignore this question.

Let It be distinctly nnd emphatically understood that the only way to kill the Prohibition party Is to destroy the sa? loon. L. A. CUTLER. Louisa, Va, . ? Hill Put in Nomination, Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch:. BIr.?For sovoral months you have seemingly hoped that Cleveland would be the nominee In 1SW. True, you have not been a thick and thin advocate of stich a lerriflo blunder, but the burdon of your song has been "four years more ot O rover." Mr. Editor, will you toko a fool's ad? vice arid drop Cleveland, as you would a hot potato? If Cleveland la nominated, not even Bryan's support would avail, be? cause there are millions of vote? of every shndo of political persuatlon?Silver Re? publicans, Gold Democrats, &c.~who are , altogether persuaded that Cleveland was ' tho causo of Ihe last panic and that his? tory would repeat Itself If he should bo clecteil In i:?i|, because he is the same old Orovi-r, "unchanged and unabridged." Since thon It Is Impossible to convine? no many as to the error of their views, seeing that only ono per cent, of the news? paper rending public read the editorial columns of tho papers, and only one per cent, hav?? an opportunity of lieurlng Mr, Brynn talk, why It would bo inviting In? evitable defeat to nom?nalo Mr. Cleve? land In 1804, Besides, sir, tho Democratic party Is not now suffering and never has suffered from a paucity of presiden? tial timber. At this time, there Is one man pro-cml nently suited to moke a successful can yasB and that man Is David Bennott Hill. Mr, Hill Is very popular with Silver Dem? ocrats (witness tho ovation lio received at the Kansas City Convention). He is by long odds stronger In the South trian any other prominent Democrat, and If ho cannot carry New York, no other man can do so. Mr. 11111 la a'great constitu? tional lawyer, a statesman o? wide ex? perience, a man of good habits and a gentleman of unblemished character. If the Democratic party will nominate Hill on a conservative Platform, they will carry New York. Maryland, West Vir? ginia and Kentucky, in addition to the States that were in tho Bryan column in 1?S0. il may bo that Virginia will hold the balance of power at tho next convention, and that tho sentiment of Tno Times-Dis? patch will control .a majority of Hie dele? gates from thw sovereign State. How im? portant then for you. Mr. Kditor. to bo on the right aide? Your paper belongs1 to a new era, but it Is always well to "prove all things and hold fast to that which la good." We know Mr, Hill, und should by all means place the banner In his hands, fooling assured that In mien case ho will prove that "he J* a Demo oral." E. T. GORDON. Richmond.
