VIRGINIA..
THE COALITION TRIUMPH.


GOVERNOR AND CARRY THE LEGISLATURES
RICHMOND. Va. Nov 9.-The Editor of The hicH-
mond State Funder organ, believes that the head-
iusters have elected their State ticket. He compares
the regular Hancock and English vote WIN lhe
Garfield vote. The returns up to noon to-day SHOW
that eleven counties and cities give Daniel gius VI
1925, and nineteen counties and cities gives nun
losses of 6,617. The Democratic majority III tio
State as far as heard from is 5000 but some proper
tionate losses and gains will carry it for the Read
justers by good majority.
The returns this morning are of the same general
tenor as those of last night, showing slight add-
tional gains for Daniel (Dem.) for Governor Dut
still leaving the result in doubt The Democrats
however claim to have gained five more members
of the Legislature and have lost one making the
net gain to this hour-11:30 n. m.-thirteen, whlch
renders necessary further gam of two to siVe
them majority on joint ballot. The ReadjusterS
are confident that their State ticket is elected
and they estimate Cameron's majority at $4,000 or
10000. As to the Legislature, they claim good
working majority on joint ballot
Further returns up to this hour p PM received
at The Dispatch Office reduce the Democratic
gains in the Legislature TO II, which leaves the
Democrats 4 short of majority on the joint ballot.
The vote for Governor is still too meagre to justify
positive statement TO the election OF either Dah-
iel or Cameron At the Office of The Whig the ke-
adiuster organ, the full and estimated votes from
40 counties and cities which cover over one-third
of the State indicate only 400 loss 10 the Read
iusters based on the last Presidential vote; ne
ported gains for the Readusters IN the southwest
will overcome this loss. The Readiusters claim that
their figures insured the election NJ Cameron py
II 900 to Is, 600 majority. They also claim gam
of ii members of the Legislature and concede the
loss of the same number which leaves the Loglsla-
ture the same as in $40 and 1850 that IS "a Re
aduster and Republican majority on the JOINT ballot
The Funder strongholds in Virginia have nearly
all been heard from and the result seems 70 Dc i'e
adiuster victory of somewhat unexpected dlneh-
sions. There is possibility that the leglsiature
will have FundeT majority but il is probable that
the remaining counties Will show cOantlon gains
and that the present coalition majority In the Legs
latuTe will he kept intact or will be Increased Inc
Funder leaders are whistlng TO keep their courage
up and still try TO prove by hgufes that tleie IL
hope. They do not, however, convince thelr own
partis.ns and their ranks are filled with dcspond-
ency On the other hand the ReadJusters are JuDl
liant. c
70 600 and claims the Legislature on Joint ballot
will have a coalition majority OF 20 or more. Re
Dspaich editors say that only one hall OF the state
is vet heard FROM but the remaining bali IL inclined
toward the Readjusters. They gam l6 and lose Z
members of the Legislature, making q net gam ot
8 for the Funders on joint ballot; Their hope OF
securing majority on the Joint ballot IA founded on
the belief that eight of the counties yet to be heard
from will give Fundcr majorltios. They must nc-
cording TO their estimates, gain six moro men-
bers To secure control.
WAsHINGToS, Nov. 9.-Thc following telegram
from Petersburg. Va. received by Commissioner
Raum at a Late hour last night:
The few reports have fully up 10 expectations
Goode DemI L. beaten aud Norfolk II ours by over 400
majority Norfolk County, Dezendorl's home. We have
earned by 900 majority Trustworthy reports come In
orrnse's district is heavy and We have carried all ot
DezcndOrfs district excepting Portsmouth Unless all
OF our careful estimates OF this morning are erroneous
we have elected Cameron by more than 10000 majority
and carried the Legislature
The editor Of The Washington Post has received the
following dispatch from Richmond, from one of the
editors Of The State, (Democratic):
Cameron Is certainly elected by decided majority; The
STAT saws by about 5000. Mahonites claim 1000.
Daniels friends very desponden Legislature stlll
in Doubt thus far there are eleven Democratic gansi
net gains necessary to give the Democrats
majority on Joint ballot
1t is generally conceded by Democrats IN Wash
ington this evening, that the AutBourbons in Vir-
qinia have elected their State ticket by decisive
majority, and that there will be an Anti-Bourbon
majority IN the Legislature, Impressed with this
belief the Democrats engaged in active specula-
ton regarding the political consequences Of what
they style "Alahone's victory" OF course their first
sensation was one Of incrcdulity aud that fol-
lowed by emotions Of despair Virginia has gone,
and North Carolina. Tennessee and Arkansas viii
follow If we are not careful" exclaimed Bourbon
politician this afternoon. The opinion thathe result
in Virginia portends general political dsintegra-
ton of the Solid South is freely expressed by nearly
all the Southern politicians ono meets here, and
occasionally one Of them is heard 10 whisper that
this is the very thing for which he has hoped. One
of the speculations i'll which of the Democrats
indulge may be outlined as follows:
Malone is now the central figure in Southern pol
itics, the recognized leader in the revolt against
Democracy. He il in high favor with the Admins
tration and with the Republican party of the
North. If the Anti-Bourbons have majority
in the Legislature just elected, why
may not President Arthur offer seat in the CaDl-
net TO Malone as representye Southern supporter
of the Administration, and what is TO hinder Ma
hone from being the Republican candidate for Vice
President in 1881. The transfer Of Malone from
the Senate to the Cabinet would not change the po-
litical complexion of the former body because he
would be succeeded by man who would Loyalty
support the Administration. As member OF the
Administration Malone would be able TO exert ~
number of the other Southern States the same iniu-
ence which he has used TO demoraze and defeat the
Democratic party III Virginia.
The gentlemen who indulge in these and similar
specuatons frankly Init that there are IN several
Southern States thousands of men. nOnnaily Demo
Gratis who are only kept in the party traces because
they lack fearless and aggressive leadership.
