Tucker says: "The result in Virginia is not vet

the fact that the coalition had and used rs never

democrats who voted for Daniel last fall voted for
Massey, he did not get the full vote. But one re.
suit is sure--the wedge of the debt issue which
has divided the democracy has been withdrawn,
and the democratic party of Virginia will hence
forth be united against republicanism. no longer

found il did not benefit them, and that they

Gratis are the friends and only supporters
of the free schools. which they instituted
years before they were required to do so by
the Constitution. He also knows that the
only district in the State in which ballot
boxes were ever stuffed was his own, in
which he had recommended the use of tissue
ballots. AS to the s.ull'ng Of the House of
Representatives, he also knows how that was
done last year by the party with which he

MONDAY EVENING, Nov'R. Is, 1892

GovERoR CAMERON is Oil record as saying
that if he should not be sustained by the
people of his State he would resign. His
words meant that if Capt. Wise did not re-
ceive majority of the votes of the people
Of Virginia ii would show that those people
did not sustain him, the Governor, and that
being condemned by them, he would re-
sign He intended that his words should
have that meaning, and everybody who
heard or read them put that same construc-
ton upon them nor could any intelligent
man have done otherwise. Well, the test
has been made. and he has not been sIls-
tanned. Leaving oui of view the character
of the support he received as contrasted
with that given to his competitor for
mer being almost exclusively restricted to
that Of ignorant, foolish, INDECENT and reck-
less negroes. and the latter that of the in
telligenl, industrious and thrifty white peo-
pie :; leaving ali that ont of view, Captain
Wise did not receive a majority of the
votes cast for Congressman at large. He
only received Il plurality. The votes for
Massey anil Dawson combined exceed in
number those cast for Capt. Wise. Every
body knows Chat nine tentlls Of the white
people OF the State voted against him, but
the returns prove that majority of
all the people voted against him. The
Governor, therefore, has not been slls-
tanned 10y the people of Virginia. VII! he
keep hi; word? or will another change come
