linn, i laude A. Swanaon. In Ids letter the voters of the State, announcing that he will be a candidate tor the liemocratlc Domination lor Gov? ernor ol Virginia, at the primary to be held the present year, 1 oui glad that the for this high ollice will thiiH by the gnat of the uiocratic votcrs All candidates should graciously aci'iifutce in the will of a majority of the party. This will can lie expressed and fully in a fair and just prl mary, where the use ol all money and corrupt influences are, as now in Vlr-1 giala, expressly prohibited by law. 1 am deeply sensible of the grave re- ii-ibilitie? ami important duties that1 iilve upon thia ollice, and.

if elect ed, would endeavor to discharge them f.titblully. fearlessly and to the best In ol all the people. 1 would strive to have my ad minist ration specially marked by the educational, moral and material pnigree? of the I I fully recusadas the vast Importance tu the State of a thorough, progressive and etliclent system of public e-luratlon. The public schools ol Virginia should equal thou? of any State. Nothing can bring to a people greater Meanings and benefit? than education.

I am aware hat many of the teas'hers in the public schools of Virginia are inadequately paid and that the terms of many of the public schools, in the country dis tricts are too short. 1 unds should be appropriated to give auch teachers a fair i ompeuaation and toe the terms of auch sehoohv The public schools of Vir ginia cannot be progressive and tbor Highly efficient until this is done. My as a wlioUr and teacher I In the school? ol the State has' made me thoroughly convenant with, the great good accomplished by our pub lie school system and upon me tbe neeesslty for It? further improvement, and betterment 111 should become Gov? ernor ol Vi uinia, tbe public achoul ays- tern and all of her educational Institu? tions would itceivc my care and' attention, and my liest effort? to make them and suci-eesful The Agricultural I nient, organ-. the legislature not many years! has accompliahed much good and brought many benefits to the farming interests of tie State. Its ueefulnsee can he further extended and Increased.

As agriculture is the firm induttry of Vlr-! ginia, engaging the largest portion of ti-r population, Its development and should receive her liest rare and most generous aid. Tbe and nredy Confederate soldiers, ami their widowa, deserve and should receive liberal aid from the State. There la no more important the material welfare and pro? gress ol Virginia than the improvement her public roads and highways. This is demanded alike by city and country. public roads would enhance the value farm lands and products and raakeTnuntry life more desirable and de? lightful They would also greatly add to the trade and business of the cities.

The extension of rural delivery in the country further increases the necessity lor good mads. The enhanced value of property and products, the demand that would arise lor farm lands, tbe Impetus which would tie given to Immigration, and the improved trade and business, all of which would Inevitably come from good roads, would more than pay for tbe expenditures of money and labor necessary to obtain tbem. 1 believe a combined system ofexpendltnre of money and labor by local, State and federal au? thorities would accomplish good resulte in this direction. The State can derive, no greater benefits from the expenditure of public money than lor education and for tbe improvement of her public roads. Under law, the Governor ol the State is empowered to make appointment? to ollice, to till many vacancies to positions, i to appoint the members of the Corpora-1 tion Cnunnlseion and ths varions hoards ol the State institutions.

If 1 should be elected Governor I would be controlled I absolutely in the discharge of these dntiee by what I believe to lie to the best Inter est of the State and her people I have made no promise to anyone for any posi? tion or appointment. I make none If 1 am elected Governor, I shall rece ve the blata absolutely untrammelled, un pledged, and nnder obligations alone to tbe people to discharge Its dnties faith? fully, fearlessly and to their best interest. All the work and responsibilities apper? taining to the office wonld have my con? stant rare and attention. I would desire to lie noted for my attentive and busi? ness like administration ol the office. I would favor and seek to produce In the State a policy of progress and growth that would invite capital, encourage de a'rable immigration and develop her va? rious Industries.

If a majority of my fellow Democrats should express a preference for me In the primary and make me the party's nomi? nee, my very best efforts would he given to achieve for the party a great victory at the election in November, and then I would receive this high office as a sacred trust to be administered for the benefit of the people of the State.
