rOW. 1'ONURKSS M. D. FLOOD of Appomattox. The above ticket invites the sup? port of all Democrats and others who desire that our Government shall offer equal opportunities to all and special privileges to none.

Governor Wilson has "made good" as the executive head of the great State of New Jersey. He has "made tho candidate of the great Democratic party. During bis canvass he bas shown that he possesses qualities of leadership and constructive statesmanship that challenge the admiration of all hon? est men. Governor AYiIson batt bright prospects of election next Tuesday. There is no question how Yirginia will vote, but apathy due to over-confidence may keep many Democratic voters from the polls.

They should all go and have a voice in the election of a Democratic Pres? ident. Governor Marshell, thc nominee for tho Vice-President, bas an envi? able record as Governor of Indiana. He is a man of capacity and honesty of purpose, and will preside over the next Senate of the United States with wisdom and ability. Representative Flood has been a faithful and efliuient public servant, and has been instrumental in secur? ing for the Tenth Congressional District many advantages. Rock? bridge and Lexington should rally to his support.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS Virginia voters will have the op? portunity at the November election of favoring or opposing two amend uients to the State Constitution. Both of these amendments are of in? terest to the cities of the State. One proposes to give Virginia cities the privilege of having a commission form of government, provided such form of government is desired by the respective cities. Many cities of other States have this form of government and it has proven an advance step over the old and cum berson city governments now pre? vailing in Virginia. The other amendment proposes that the provision forbidding tho re-election of treasurers and com? missioners of the revenue of cities be repealed, so that these officials may bo if the people de? sire to retain them in office.

Their election will depend on the wishes of the people, and the people should rule. If they desire an efficient treasurer or a faithful commissioner of the revenue to continue in office they have a right to that choice. If such officers prove unworthy, tbe people will be able to make a change. County treasurers and commission ers of the revenue may be re-elect ed, and discrimination should no be made against city treasurers ant commissioners of the revenue. To vote for these amendments i will be necessary for the voter ti scratch the word "against." it seems only fair that city treas ur ers and commissioners of the reve nue have the same privilege of re election as county treasurers ant commissioners of the revenue.
