THE Republican State Conven-
ton Of Virginia, which met at Lynch
burg, adjourned Thurs ay without
making nomination. There was
two wings-one favorable to nomi-
nation, and the other in favor Of a
coalition with the Readjusters. The
Straighouts adjourned without max
ing nomination, and the Coalition
lists, who also held a convention, en-
dorsed the Readjuster ticket. The
Coalltionists were in the majority
and thus it is that the Mahonites
have won in the preliminary skirm-
ish. This is as we expected, and so
announced several weeks ago. The
straightout Republicans and the
Democrats moderated the ability
and shrewdness of Malone and his
lieutenants. They talked too much
and worked too little. They utterly
fail to comprehend the ability,
shrewdness and desperation of the
forces they have to deal with. Ma
hone and his lieutenants have gone
in to win, and they will not be nicely
scrupulous as to tie means. 1t will
now be said that thousands Of the
straightout Republicans will vote
for Daniels in order to defeat the
Readjusters. 1t will not do for the
Democrats to rely on any such con-
tingency. The very fact that more
than half the delegates to the Lynch
burg convention favored coalition,
does not warrant such a theory. The
Readjusters will now go forward
with redoubled hopes and energy,
and the fight will be a close and bit
ter one, with the chances about even
ly divided. The result will depend
largely on the manner in which the
campaign is conducted on either
side.

THE Virginia Democrats have
nominated q strong man for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Daniel, the nominee, is
young man Of fine talents, and a
brilliant and forcible talker. But
while the candidate is all that could
be desired in leader, the platform
shows disposition to "hedge" on
the debt question. 1t has not the
clear ring. It's language is not the
utterance Of bold and determined
msn who believe in the business of
their cause and are willing to stand
by it at all hazards. Ia fact, it is
something of a concession to the
doctrines Of the Readjusters. In
deed, fairly judged, it is even worse
than that of the Readjusters, be-
cause it lacks its straightforward
boldne5s. The Readjusters declare
openly and squarely that they are in
favor of paying but $20,000,000 of
the $40, 100000 debt, claiming that
amount as all the State justly owes.
The Democrats, while acknowledge
ing the business of the entire amount,
declare their intention not to in
crease the taxes for the purpose of
paying it. If there is any real diff
ference in the position of the two
parties on this question, it strikes us
it is in favor of the Readjusters,
who declare openly, and without dis
stimulation, their purpose not to pay
but certain portion.

NOTES AND COMMENT.


And now the fight in Virginia is
badly mixed.
The announcement that the Presi-
dent signed his name on Tuesday,
brought joy to the heart OF many an
office seeker.
Politics is about four degrees
hotter than the weather over in Vir-
ginia. Malone can ster up big
muss for a little man.
Think of i'll A Nihilist meeting
to be held in Faneuil Hall The
Cradle of Liberty to become the hot
bed of regicide
Sitting Bull is getting fat and cor
respondingly saucy. A few days in
the guard-house and short rations
would do that gentleman good.
The name of Roscoe Conkling is
rarely heard now, but little Billy
Malone is still a subject OF much
mention.
Joshua Dye, who was noted dur
ing the war as daring leader of the
Knights Of the Golden Circle, died
Monday night at Abingdon, Va.
The western papers put divorce
suits and railroad accidents in the
same column: Breaking of coup
ling.
DR.. Agnew, who returned to Phil
adelphia on Tuesday, was very reti-
cent in regatd to the Presidents
condition, and referred all reporters
to the official bulletins.
1t would be very good of Mr.. Ven
nor, if he would send along, in ad-
vance, an instalment of the cold
weather which he predicts for the
Goth inst.
The Buffalo EGpreSs says the pro-
motion of Chalmers, who held a seat
III the House by dubious means, to
the United States Senate over Lamar
would be disgracefui to Mississippi.
The "Long and Shorto men are
again at work robbing stages in the
far Southwest. We hope it won't
be long before short work is made of
the gang.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says:
General Malone employs a large
force of men," and gravely adds
that "thc man who gives imploy-
ment to men is. a statesman We'll
worthy of peoples confidence"
When the lawyer kills his client,
as happened a day or two ago in the
Bradford oil regions of Pennsylvania,
either the estate has been exhausted
or the attorneys patience is worn
threadbare. In the Bradford case,
both these contingencies occurred,
and the wound was fatal.

The Conservative members Of Par
lament thought it rare joke to see
the member for Northampton, Mr..
Charles Bradlaugh, violently ex-
PEELED from the House, and the
police inspector, Denning, whose
forces accomplished the feat, waxed
very humorous over Brad
laughs threat to come back again
and demand his seat with "some-
thing less than million" at his
back. 1t was quite awfully funny,
no doubt, the spectacle of one elderly
man trying to force his way into the
Congress of England against the
will of all lords and lordlings and
gentlemen of England, assisted
by the whole police force in London.
No wonder he didn't get in, no Won
der he was carried back to the side
walk, no wonder the conservative"
representatives of the nobility and
the Church Of England laughed at
the absurd struggles of this queer
old fellow, which availed him moth
ing whatever against the force
brought against him, and left him
pale and breathless on the street.
But then Nero fiddled while Rome
was burning, and the gay mobiles Of
France found infinite amusement
in the first grumblings of the peas
ants which finally resulted in the
Terror. History is full of instances
of men and women laughing at in
cidents which were really big with
their own fate; of jestings at that
which should rather have excited
their tears, if not their deepest fears.
The violent and dlsgraceful eXpul-
sion of Mr.. Charles Bradlaugh from
the House of Commons, in which he
was legally, morally and equitably
entitled to a seat, on the flimsy
ground that his religious belief was
unorthodox, is the gravest political
event that has happened in England
during the life time of the present
generation. 1t is Of such stuff as
this that the web of Revolution is
woven; the woof whereof is already
on the loom in England in the shape
of popular dissatisfaction with the
useless expenses and pomp of sup
porting a royal family and establish
ed church, and popular observation
Of the fact that republican America
and republican France get along
quite as well as England without
these appendages, Let the Conserv.
atiyes of England beware OF Brad
laugh and his million. They are
| playing with lion and a tempest.

Mr.. GARFIELD, will, in all hu-
man probability, be fully able to re-
sumo the duties of his Office before
Congress meets; but if not, it is
clearly within the power of Congress,
under the Constitution, to assign

the discharge of the powers and
duties of the office, without clothing
him irrevocably with the Office of the
Chief Magistracy.

shortening of the pork supply this
