The Summing Up I'm the Whit.
taker Case~Decision Against
Whitaker.

WEST POINT, N. Y. May 3d.
The Whitaker investigation was
resumed to-day. Lieut.. McCler-
nand testified to inspecting Whit
takers room. in company with Re-
corder Sears, and finding citizens
clothing concealed there. This was
contrary to the rules. Lieut.. Ran
dolph testified that when Whitaker
had first been questioned by the re-
corder about the presence of such
clothing in his room he denied it,
but subsequently qualified his deni-
al and identified the clothing as be-
longing to him. He said, how
ever, that some one else must have
placed it there. Lieut.. Coffin and
Recorder Sears testified to the same
effect. Other testimony was given
tending to impeach Whittaker'S We
racity, Portions of Whittakers d.
airy were read, showing that his
mind was in a morbid condition on
the question of color. In one of
his entries he said at least one of
his instructors was ''negro hater."
All the evidence being in, the re
corder began to sum up. He re-
viewed the whole case, taking the
ground from the start that all the
testimony went to show that Whit
taker was the author OF his own as
sault.
In concluding the recorder char
ged that Whitaker had failed to
clear himself, but, on the contrary,
the circumstantial evidence was so
strong against him as to justify the
the recorder in demanding that he
be tried by court-martial for conduct
unbecoming cadet and a gentle
man and for perjury.
This statement made a marked
sensation. Lieut.. Knight then
arose and made an able argument
in behalf of his client. He claimed
there was nothing in the evidence
to show Whittaker's story was not
true, and that no evidence had been
produced to reflect on his clients
character. He held that the note
of warning was forgery of Whit.
takers writing, and that the paper
had been stolen from his room. H'
showed how the experts had con
tradicted themselves and each other
and demanded a court of inquiry

The Richmond Election.

The effort of the MahOneites to cap
ture the city of Richmond IN the ap-
preaching municipal contest has thus
far proven a miserable failure. The
stock in trade upon which the canvass
was inaugurated, that of opposition to
"rlno government" was so iranspar-
emily fimsy as to expose TO full view
the miserable demagogues and retain
ers of the Little General" who sought
shelter under it, and for whom tie peo'
pie have but little respect. Although

Other Cities than Ours.

The news from the elections held
Yesterday in the others towns and ci-
ties of Virginia is generally satisfactory,
and in some cases quite gratifying as to
the results. In Norfolk and Peters
burg only haye the Readiusters, aided
by the solid negro vote. been able to
effect anything. In the former city
they claim to have elected the Mayor,
WIN. LAMB, while the sheriff and most
of the other officers are conceded to
the Conservatives.
In Petersburg, the hot-bed of Malone
ism and readjustment, they polled a
heavy negro vote, and succeeded IN
electing their city ticket by majority
estimated at about 700. This was OK
pected, and, IN facs, we gave them
credit for more strength than they have
shown in the citadel OF their hopes and
votes, In Alexandra the Conserva-
tives elected their ticket by majority
of over 300, and Alexandra has been
claimed as a readjuster city. AT Ports
mouth they were beaten at every point,
and on full poll. In Stanton and
Danville party lines were not drawn,
but Conservatives are elected IN both
cities, while IN Lynchburg, where the
opposition made a determined stand,
the Conservatives achieved a splendid
victory. AT Farmvllle the respectable
Republicans joined US in the fight, and
the Readjusters and their allies met a
Waterloo defeat. In Manchester things
are slightly mixed, as the contest was
between the Conservatives and Repub-
licans but the Conservative candidate
for mayor and an equal part OF The other
ticket succeed by very handsome ma
jorities.
We find the news from all parts oil

friends of good government and public
integrity, and we think it furnishes
abundant evidence that the Conserya-
tive party in Virginia Is still united and

The Staunton Virsinian seems to be
of the opinion that the Readjuster Con
vention will nominate an electoral
ticket headed by the nominees OF the
Cincinnati Convention. A scheme 80
transparent as that will only command
the support of those who desire to see
the success of the Republican party

Candidates, while all the Republicans
would vote for one electoral ticket might
give the Republicans the State Of Vir-

the Democratic partyln Virginia would
be based upon the fact that the people,
who are Democratic would repudiate
the "galvanlzed " ticket.

Isit a Barren Victory ?

Assuming tina Grant will be the Re-
publican candidate for President, il re-
mains to consider his strength with the
people. The ex-Presldent is opposed
BY the better clv.s Of Republicans OF
the country, who are outspoken in
their disgust at his candidacy. He
cannot win the votes Of the independent
voters of the country, men who always
vote from principle, Eand are welded to
the fortunes of no political party. He
is not strong with the business men OF
tho country, who remember only too
we'll the scandals which made his adj
minlstration notorious, and the venallty
of his public officials, which can be
characterized as simply infamous. The
people have no confidence in his ad-
yisers and hackers, for they are the
same old set of scheming and unscru-
pulous politicians who guided him in his
administration during the two terms he
held the Office of President. The tri-
nuph Of Senators Conkling. Logan and
Cameron will be but a barren victory,
and they will themselves be buried in
the political grave 10 which their can
didate will be cOnsigned.-STacu'e

News ABOUT BISHOP KAHN
Bishop Kain, of Wheeling, spent
three weeks in Rome, visited the
Catacombs and other prominent
places, and was admitted to a pri-
vate audience by Pope Leo, TO
whom, by permission he introduced
Rev. D. O'Conner, of West Vir-
GINA and other clerical friends.
All were charmed with the Pontiffs
sweet and easy manner. Amongst
the questions put by the Pope to
the Rt. Rev. DR.. Kahn, one of the
first was, how one so young as he
looked managed to govern his Do
cese. The next was, if Virginia
had Catholic press ? to which he
sent his pontifcial blessing. The
sovereign Pontiff next asked about
the Catholic schools of the Diocese
of Wheeling, and sent a hearty
blessing for all the pupils and pa
rents, and also for the Sodalities.
DIR. Kahn. at last accounts, was
in Naples, en- route to Paris via
Strasburg and Vienna.-C Catholic

The Virginia Democratic Convention
resolved that "party lines in Federal
politics should be drawn with sole refer
ence to Federal issues y; and 1t could
not have expressed .truer sentiment
IN fewer words. Those members Of the
Readjusters' party in the State who
propose to keep aloof from the two
great political parties of the country
and to vote for a presidential electoral
ticket composed solely OF Readjusters,
may have excellent reasons for their
action, but if they have, other than a
desire to defeat the nominee OF the
National Democratic Convention, they
have not been gracious enough to give
them TO the public. All the Republi-
cans in the State will vote as unit
for the candidate selected at Chicago,
whether he be Grant or anybody else,
and the only support the Readjustcrs'
ticket can possibly receive will be that
which il can succeed in drawing away
from the Democratic party. Therefore
every vote that may be cast for the pro-
posed Readjusters' ticket, will be one
vote taken away from party that is
possibly making its last effort to take
the Government out of sectional hands
and place it in the control of those who
will at least be national IN their public
feelings and sympathtes, The Nation
al Democracy has now as good chance
for Success as il ever had. certainly
much better than it could have legiti-
mately expected, and it would be a
great misfortune 20 this State and the
whole country if those who have here
tofsre been Democrats in Virginia,
should throw obstacles in the way OF
that success. Possibly, as we have
just said, the Readjusters may have
sufficient reasons for interposing OBJ
staclss, but if they have, the rest OF tue
people in the State would like to know
what they are.-Alexandria Gazette.

VICTORY OF CONSERVATIVES IN
ALExANDRIA.-The conservatives OF
Alexandria are TO be congratulated up
on the victory they achieved Thursday
1t was a decisive ,and gratifying one,
and may be legltimately considered in
the light Of an earnest OF what Alex
andria will do next November in the
effort that will then be made to pre-
vent the conservative strength OF Virgi-
MIA from being fritted away in order
that tue republicans may carry the
State. They had to contend against
republicans, readiusters, and, il reports
be true, other and not legitimate ele.
meuts of opposition, and yet over all
these combined opponents they won a
victory Of which they may well be
proud, and which will brighten the
hopes OF their friends Throughout the
State and county. The result is more
gratifying because the vote plainly
shows that Notwithstanding all the talk
to the contrary the opposition to con-
servaism in this city IS confined chiefly
to its old enemies, the republicans, and
that the readjusters, if they have any
real strength here, outside OF the re-
publican party, intend, like sensible
men, TO use il upon tit OCCASION Tho
election of members of the Legislature
and not in contests III which tue State
debt question has neither lot nor part,
and into which it is only logged by sell
fish politicians for the sole purpose OF
advancing their own individual ends.--
