The Electiou in other States.

] Virginia wasn't the only State revolu-
tionized on the 9Th. The Democratic ma
jority of 100000 OF last year in New FORK
! was reversed and tt lie head Of the Republic
can ticket elected 10y 10000 majority, with
both branches of tile legislature Republi-
can, against De- nocratic majority last
year on joint ballot Of 40.
n In summing up the result the New \ Ork
Tribune thus explai MS the situation
Last year General Butler was elected by
about $4,000 plurality in Massachusetts,
this year he is beatt N by about $4,000. Last
year the Democrats elected Governor Of
PENNSYLVANIA by 40, 900 plurality, this year
their State ticket is beaten by over $1,000.
Volumes of explans ltiOn and argument will
fail to break the force Of these simple
facts. When the o hio election had ended
in Democratic vic tory, but byadecreased
majority, the Tribu ne observed that when
the tide had once clearly turned, even the
most ignorant fist herman could predict
with certainty thu vt the reaction would
continue. The Der nocratic party was at
high tide when it elected Cleveland, But
Ter and Pattison last year. Ohio proved
that the waters had begun to recede. The
elections of Tuesday proved that the Dem
ocratic party has OF a bit more chance
than it had in 1880 of carrying any North
ern State. The It'd g is going out rapidly
and those Democra is who have political
sense know that it will be lower before it
returns.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1883-11-15

The result of the election in the North
ern States on the 9th disposed of severa
Democratic candidates for the Presidency
Gov. Cleveland. Of New York, Gov. Pat.
tison, of Pennsylvania, and Gov. Butler
of Massachusetts, were notified that the,
must take back seats.
Judge Thurman, of Ohio. is beginning
to be talked of as the probable Democratic
nominee for the Presidency next year.
Thurman, of Ohio, and Randall. of Penn
sylvania, would be the hardest ticket for
the Republicans to beat the Democrats
could put up. But beat it they will.
"Whom the Gods would destroy, they
first make mad. Bourbon wrath and
desperation in Virginia. have saved the
country from Bourbon rule in the nation.
The Liberals of Virginia can bear their
defeat. when the means to accomplish If
promise such fruits to the nation.

Hoist on their own Petard.

The Democrats Of Rockingham have
put their foot in it. They made technical
objection to the counting of the vote on
the ground that some of the judges OF
election had certified the returns from one
precinct in favor of Jos. B. Webb and
from the others in favor of J. B. Webb.
The ruling was allowed and when the re-
turns were all examined it was found that
under it Webb was elected by about 400
Herring by about 1900, and Soule by about
800. Keezles name had been spelled two
or three ways, ..and Grattan's and Harms
berger's initials were wrong IN q number
of instances.

of the politicians and managers will BIZ
directed chiefly to the North. One couli
hear to-day on every hand the declaration
that New York must be the great battle
ground next year. Statistics were resorted
to to prove that this would be the case
The Republicans took encouragement from
the following election estimate, which ap
peared to receive general approval:

The Bourbons will now have the coupon
question to tackle, and the railroad YAK

consequences.

1t is stated that the Bourbons expended
half million dollars in the recent Virginia
campaign. They evidently went in with
the determination to win.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1883-11-15
SURE REPUBLICAN.
DOUBTFUL.

According to this estimate, the party
which obtains the thirty six votes OF New
York will elect the President, and neither
party can win without the New y ork vote.
From what has leaked out to-day here 1t IS
probable that the Republican campaign is
to be shaped on the above basis. The talk
Of capturing several Southern States is not
received with much favor since Mahone's
eclipse in Virginia. 1t appears to be the
general opinion here in official and polltl-
| cal circles that from now till after the
Presidential election the politics OF the
State of New York will be OF eXtraor-
binary interest and attract very great az
tentiOn.
To make the above estimate correspond
more nearly with the probabilities OF the
case, Indiana and Florida ought to be
transferred from the Democratic to the
doubtful column, which would reduce the
estimate for the Democrats to 146, and by
placing Connecticut, Colorado and Neva-
da in the Republican column would bring
that up to. 1870. The Morey letter forgery
gave Nevada to Hancock in 1880, but
that influence will not operate in 1884,
New Jersey, too, might reasonably be
classed in the doubtful column, with the
probability that both that State and New
York will vote the Republican ticket.

The Presidential Campaign.

On the 18th inst, Col John A. Martin.
secretary OF the national republican COM
mittee, sent ont call for meeting of the
Republican National Committeeto be held
at the Arlington hotel. Washington, D. c.,
on Wednesday, Dec. 18th, 1888, at IL
o'clock, for the purpose of deciding upon
the date and place for holding the next
National Republican Convention. The
committee will also elect chairman, vice
the committee held at Washington ON Jan.
II last the following resolutions were
adopted:
| Resolved, that the call for the next re-
| publican national convention shall be SO
broad and liberal us to invite the co-opera-
| ton, without imposing any other tests OF
| fealty, of all citizens who are in favor OF
elevating and Identifying American labor,
protecting and extending home industries,
giving free and popular education to the
masses OF the people, securing free suffrage
and the honest counting OF ballots. ana e1-
fectually protecting all human rights IN
every section OF our common country, ana
who are willing to support the nominees OF
| the convention.
| The committee also fixed the basis OF
representation in the next national con-
yention and the manner OF elect1ng dele
gates by adopting the following order:
! The republican national convention OF
| 1884 shall consist of four delegates at large
| from each state and two delegates from
| each congressional district. The delegates
at large shall be chosen by the popular vote
of the delegates to the state convention
called on not less than twenty days pub

On the announcement of the result of
the elections in the Northern States, in
favor of the Republicans, on the morning
of the 18th, there was decided improve
ment in the stock market. This is always
the case when the country is assured of
Republican success, and just the reverse
when the indications favor the Demo-
Gratis. This was notably so in the case of
Virginia last Tuesday. Although the
Democrats carried the State by large
majority, both in the Legislature and on
the popular vote. there was no favorable
impression made on Virginia securities.
The record of the Democratic party on
finance, in State and Nation, IS not assur
ing, by any means.

To one who willsstudy all the cire'm-
stances of the case and the incidents at
tending the development of the plot, it
has all the appearance of a well considered
and premeditated scheme. Not that the
butchery of the negroes ut Danville was
on the programme, but the sensational
circular was to do its work, let the conse-
quences be what they might.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1883-11-15


that.the Legislature chosen by the people
had adopted a settlement. and the courts
had decided it to be an inviolable contract
| We argued that even if the decision OF
the Appellate Court were wrong, as we
| Thought it to be, it were better to bow to
its determination, and submit to an injus-
tice than to assail this most conservative
bulwark of the peoples rights and libel
ties.
Considered from standpoint of equi:
ty the Riddleberger settlement is not
reputation, except in the feature Of
the rate of interest, and that was justi-
fed, as was claimed, by the condition of
the State and the accepted rate of interest
at which the governments Of the United
States and of Great Britain placed their
loans. There has never been any real re-
pudiation party in Virginia except the
Bourbons, as we have shown. To acknowl-
edge debt, and then refuse to make pro-
vision to pay the interest ON it-allowing
it to accumulate at nearly a million dol
lars annually, was constructive and inevita-
BILE reputation in the end. And the re-
solves of the Lynchburg Convention and
the sentiments we quote from the Dis
patch dispose of all the pretenses of the
Bourbons about being debt-paying party.
And the Dispatch speaks for the Demo-
cratic party of Virginia, whether it
pleases the Democracy across the Potomac
Or not. Time has exposed the deception
that the Bourbons have practiced on the
country as to this question, and made very
clear that as between them and the Read
justers, the latter have been infinitely more
honest and defensible.
