are on hand doing their utmost to facilitate
the burial. The largest procession to-day

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Information from
the Virginia election, held yesterday, so far
| as received, are adverse to the readjusters.
A number of republican senators and rep
resentatives who went to New York when
the senate adjourned, have returned here.
All Of them took an interest in the senatorial
contest in New York and some of them were
consulted by leading republicans of that
state, having in view some settlement of the
senatorial fight that will prevent any serious
division in the republican ranks. The prop
osition or plan urged by many in relation to
postponng the senatorial election is as fol-
lows: That the present legsia ure being
two.thilds republican mu7t elect senators
special session, after the present bitter feel
ings shall cool that both wings of the party
say they are willing to obey the majority
opinion Of the republican party in New York
Let us take recess until next December.
Between now and then the republicans of
every county will meet in convention and
| nominate candidates for legislative anu local
| officers. That these conventions can by res
outions express their wishes and sentiments
as to their choice for Senator's and thus the
| legislature dt the adjourned session will have
the distinctive will of the party to guide it..
| This plan would make sure of electlng re-
publican senators by the present legislature,
and republican senators who know much Of
party affairs in New York think it will be
adopted as the best way out of the trouble.
