MARSHALL of Indiana.

FOR CONGRESS H. D. FLOOD of Appomattox. The above ticket invites the support 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 as the executive head of the great State of New Jersey.

He has "made good" as the candidate of the great Democratic party. During his canvass he has shown that he possesses qualities of leadersbip and constructive statesmanship that challeage the admiration of all honest men. Governor Wilson has bright prospects of election next Tuesday. There is no question how Virginia 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 President.

Governor Marsball, the nominee for the Vice- President, has an enviable 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 eflicient public servant, and has been instrumental in securing for the Tenth Congressional District many advantages. Rockbridge and Lexington should rally to his support. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS Virginia voters will have the opportunity at the November election of favoring or opposing two amendments to the State Constitution.

Both of these amendments are of interest 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 cumberson city governments now prevailing in Virginia. The other amendment proposes that the provision forbidding the re-election of treasurers and commissioners of the revenue of cities be repealed, so that these officials may be re-elected if the people desire to retain them in office.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, the people will be able to make a change. County tressurers and commissioners of the revenue may be re-elected, and discrimination should not be made against city treasurers and commissioners of the revenue. To vote for these amendments it will be necessary for the voter to scratch the word "against." And it seems only fair that city treasurers and commissioners of the revenue have the same privilege of reelection as county treasurers and commissioners of the revenue. Announcement of the engagement of Mrs, Grover Cleveland to Professor Thomas Joseph Preston of Wells College, bas been made.

Mr. Senseney for the South Carolina Legislature Among the candidates for the House of Representatives in South Carolina to be voted for next Tuesday is Mr. Harvey Greenlee Senseney of Charleston, son of Mr. James M. Senseney of Lexington, who went to Charleston when a boy, about twenty-eight years ago.

He was nominated by the Democratic primary, as the candidate of the labor organization. Nomination is equivalent to election. The Charleston Review had the following to say of Mr. Senseney's candidacy before the primary. "Harvey Greenlee engineer of T.

M. Conlon Division, No. 340, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and one of the labor candidates tor the House of Representatives in the primary last Tuesday, showed the way to all others in the race by leading the list in a field of twenty. The total vote accorded Mr. Senseney was well above his nearest rival and is not only a substantial compliment to Mr.

Senseney but is an extreme satisfaction to the friends of organized labor. "Mr. Senseney has been chief of Conlon Division, No. 340, B. of L.

E. for twelve years, and for a like period has been representing No. 340 in the Grand Division. His integrity is one of the things that engineers love to talk about. He has never before aspired to political office and it was only at the urgent solicitation of the local Brotherhood that he consented to make the race for the House."
