Virginia Legislature Ratifies Amendments and Adjourns
The Virginia House of Delegates ratified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments by an almost unanimous vote and adjourned to October 18. Upon reassembly, the election of United States Senators will likely be the sole business. The writer questions Democratic coverage of the Virginia result and notes George Gille spy’s Newton speech in Iowa. He portrays Gille spy as a plow-holder and pork packer who opposes liquor sellers, claiming he has abstained from alcohol for twenty seven years and supports jail for liquor sellers rather than drunks.
