RESULTS OF THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. - Ex-Coneressman
Hunter of Virginia, who is in Washington, says
that Major Daniel the defeated Bourbon candidate
for Governor of that State has returned to his law
practice lie says the policy OF the Democratic
minority in the Virginia Legislature will be a
passive one. They propose to let the Readjusters
take their own course and assume all the response
bility for legislation, believing that If given rope
enough they will strangle themselves. Mr.. Hunter
says it is reported in Virginia that, rs the Republ-
cans bore so prominent part in securing the recent
victory the Readjustcrs will abandon or modIIy
their financial views making them conform to the
financial theories of the National Republican parry.

THE CONDUCT OF GUITEAU'S DEFENCE.
THE MAIN RELIANCE PROBABLY To BE THE PLFA OF
INSANIrY-THE sPEAKERsHTP OF THE HOUSE OF
n tPREsENTATIvEs-THE MORMON PROBLEM AND
THE NEXT CONGRESS-
1t has been suggested to Guteau's counsel
that to introduce the question of malpractice
before jury would do the assassin's case no
good. 1t appears probable that the main re-
lance OF the defence in the trial about to
begin will be the plea of insanity. There does
not appear any reason to doubt that the Re-
publicans will organize the next House of Rep
rcsentatives, and the question of the Speaker
shin is fast becoming one of interest to the
friends of the various candidates. The Mormon
question will doubtless come before Congress
very soon after the next session begins.

CONGRESS AND THE MORMON QUESTION.
lpn TEL trnRAPn TO TIE rRIBUNG.l


WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-There will probably be
an extended discussion of the Mormon problem IN
tile House of Representatives very soon after that
body assemblies. Delegate Cannon holds the certi-
fcate of the Secretary of state OF Utah,
Will. Mr.. Campbell holds that Of the Governor.
The Secretary of State is not authorized by law 10
give any certificate The law provides that 1t shall
be given by the Governor, who shall state in 1t who
received the greatest number of votes. Governor
Murray'5 certificates state that Mr.. Campbell re-
cciyed more votes than any other, citizen of Utah.
The Supreme Court having decided that Cannon Is
not citizen OF the United States, there would seem
to be little doubt that Mr. Campbell will get his
seat Cannon is poygamis having three or four
wIycs in Utah. II therto the Democrats in Congress
have been the indirect champions OF polygamy by
sustaining the MOrnons in their contest
in Congress and it is supposed that they WIN
do so again. 1t is the purpose of some OF the
Republicans to object to the admission OF Mt. Can
non to his seat and this will bring on the contest, II
