VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND, Va. Nov. 5.-Returns
from nearly all the precincts In this
(third) district that can be heard from
give Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston MAORI
ty Of about 800 over W. W. Newman,
green back candidate. Other precincts
to hear from, it Is believed, will increase
Johnson's majority still more. The
vote polled was not more than hall
usually cast. Very few negroes voted:
the law requiring the capitation tax to
be paid as requisite to vote Kept most
of that race from the polls. Johnston's 's
majority in Richmond was 2,0l2. Re-
turns from the Norfolk district indicate
tb at John Z. Goode, Jr., is reelected by
good majority. .s
ALEXANDRIA, VA, Nov. 5.--Eppa
Hun.on was reelected for the fourth
time in the Alexandria district. There
as been since his nomination no seri-
ons opposition to him. No Republican
convention was held, and the vote cast
for Messrs. Cochran and Garter, lnde
pendent candidates was small. The
entire vote of the district was light,
and Gen. Hunton's majority is sstima.
ted at seven or eight thousand.
LYNoHBuRG, VA, Nov. 4.-Hon. J.
Randolph Tucker is elected to Congress
by 1900 majority. He carried every
ward in his city. His majority in this
city over Patterson is 485. The nintl
district is probably carried by Fayettt
McMullin, Independent. A very smal
vote was polled. ,a-,.

tion as certain, but not by a large ma
jority The vote in all the counties nam
I'd is very slim.
NORFOLK, Nov. 5-Norfolk and Ports
mouth give Goode, dem, for Congress
majorities aggregating 1882 over De
-ndorf, rep. The returns to-nigh
throughout the second district show
heavy falling Of in the Republican vot
cast i'll 1876, but owing to the capitatio
tax it is confidently estimated tina
Mr.. Goodies majority will not exc-e
1900.
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 5.-The ele'
tion in this, the ''black district, pass
ed off very quietly to-day, after an an
mated and somewhat bitter persona
canvass. Hinton, conservative, carrie

The republicans claim the district b
$500 but several large counties are "
to hear from, which may change thes
figures. It is pretty certain, however
that Hinton is defeated.

dicats Goodies election by fair ms
jority. Returns from the fourth ii.
