VIM. NJ Lowe, who died at Huntsville, Ala
bama, Friday, was elected to Congress from the
Eighth-or Mountain district of Alabama,
III 1873, as an Independent Democrat. In 1880,
when he ran as Groenback Democrat" he
was defeated by forty-thrce votes by General
Joseph Wheeler. On the Sd of June, 1882, the
Republicans seated Lowe on contest, and the
management of the canvass in Alabama Lad
practically been placed in his hands by the
Hubbell Committee when his failing health
compelled him to visit Colorado. During
his brief incumbency, however, Mr.. loves
name was heard of in connection with the
garden-seeds" telegram mentioned by The
World of Juno Il, which brought good deal
of ridicule upon, as it proved, a dying man.
His death makes an end of the "anti- bourbon Z"
movement in Alabama. The immediate cause
Of his death was bronchial affection, though
his health has been bad for some time.
Judge Lawrence, first comptroller of the
| Treasury, returned Friday from an electioneer-
ing tour through Ohio He says the causes
which brought about the Republican defeat are ::
First, the issue as to the traffic in Intoxicating
drinks; second, discussions and ill-feeling
growing out of the nomination of Republican
candidates for Congress in most of the districts
| third untOunded complaints against the recent
Republican Congress; fourth some complaints,
equally unfounded, against the recent Reiub-
lican Legislature, abseAteeism of Republicans
from the polls from the causes Just stated, and
from their bad chronic habit of voting only
every other year.
A Democratic editor of a South Carolina
paper, writing to a friend in Massachusetts,,
says: Ere this you have heard of the Lancas-
ter massacre. Cash was there and spoke; the
intolerant spirit was aroused, the result of
which was four colored men killed and eighteen
or twenty wounded. The only fair way to get
an honest expression of opinion at the next
election is for the United States troops to hold
the election all over the State. 1t cannot be
done otherwise, as the leaders Of the Democratic
party say they are determined to carry the
election at any cost"
The latest returns from West Virginia con-
firm the election Of John W. Mason to Con-
gress in the Second district over Wilson, the
Democratic candidate, by a majority of from
twenty to fifty. Advice5 from the Fourth
district reduce the majority for Gibson, Demo-
crat, to about SEQ The Republicans have
made decided gains in the Legislature, but not
enough to control it. The majority for the
Democratic candidate for Judge of the State
supreme court will probably not exceed 1900,
and some Republicans even doubt his election.
After ex-senator Eaton had been nominated
far (ronurasS by-t ia DarpopratS in ba First
district of Connecticut he made a speech &C
cepting the honor but declining to make any
pledges lie said he had not sought the nomi-
nation, but now that he was in the field he
naturally did not want to be defeated. He
had always voted against river and harbor APP
preparations, and should continue to do SO if
sent again to Congress.
Hon. EustaCe Gibson who has been elected
to Congress from the Fourth West Virginia
district, is a brother of Col. j. Catlett Gibson, OF
Culpcper county, Va. He once represented
Giles county in c Virginia Legislature, and
during the war was seriously wounded by
cannon-ball fired from d United States gun
boat.
General Butler, it is announced, will not
take q very conspicuous part in the Massachu-
sets campaign. He will speak in a few of the
larger cities and give the rest of the time ne
