Obsiructing the Watirg.

At some precincts here it has bee' the
custom Of the negrOes-Or, at least, Of some
negToes-to vote and then fall back in line,
or to cOngregate close around the polls, so
as TO create the impression upon busy white
men that the precinct is crowded with yo-
tcrs and that the newcomer will have q
long time to wait before his turn comes.
This may or may not amount TO what the
law calls an obstruction Of voting, but it is
calculated to create a breach OF the peace in
the present temper OF the public mind.
The judges Of election and police should,
therefore, make each man, after he has
voted, get out Of the way OF others who
want to vote. Better arrangements than
usual ought to be had to receive the ballots
quickly and TO allow the voter TO get out OF
the way. All the Democrats ask is to have
their vote pOlled. That is their right, and
denial of it cannot be refused. The judges
Of election have grave responsibility upon
them. Let them see to it that they do nc
thing to disturb the public mind.

RuIes of Judgcs OF Election.

Each set OF iudges-thqt is to say, the
two Coaitionists and one DemOcrat-ought
to meet to-day and decide upon what rules
they will adopt for next Tuesday. Ii any
of the established uSageS are TO be altered
the public Ought to have notice. This is a
matter that simply concerns the peace and
good order Of the city. The result is not
in question, for it is well known that no.
thing the enemy can do VIII prevent the
Democrats from carrying Richmond by 4
large majority.
We are going TO try to have an unusually
peaceful election here. The Mayor and
Chief Of Police will no doubt have suf-
ficient constabulary force within call Of
each precinct to crush ont the first sign oi
disturbance. Now, all that remains is ior
the Judges to say, each set OF three fOI
themselys, whether old customs are TO be
followed or new ones introduced. All that
the Democrats demand is fair notice. They
will comply with the law, and try to see
to it that everybody else does likewise.

Specimen Coalition Fraud.

The CoalitIoniStS make big pretensons
about the peoples party, free ballots, and
fair counts, just as the monk with the
goose up his sleeve yelled Stop thief"
The Democrats, however, have not been
deceived. but have been quietly watching
certain fraudulent operations, and at the
proper time will expose them.
Yesterday morning at the Police Court
Daniel Graham, a.negro, one OF those hon
est suflIaeans for whom the Governor and
Senator Malone affect such deep concern,
was brought up TO answer the charge OF
registering at the First precinct in Monroe
Ward while he was already registered on
the books Of the First precinct in Madison
Ward. The evidence was conclusive. and
the accused was sent on TO the Hastings
Court for trial. Time will show many
cases OF this sort. wherein the poor larky
has been made the dupe OF sharp and un-
scrupulous white Coalitionists.

was awarded at our recent Fair to Mr.. .Jo-
seph VI. Blair for the best display OF fine
groceries. The novelty and ingenuity OF
Mr.. Blair's exhibition consisted OF the
perfect representation OF life-sized rail-
road locomotive and tender, built entirely
of groceries and grocer'S fixtures. Vine
casks were used for the boiler, wash-tubs
for the large wheels. and butter-tubs for
the small wheels. Tea-chests formed the
cab, large tea-canister made the head
light, and a pile OF fiye-pound mackerel-
cans, with a cOnical waste-basket, made
the smoke-stack, while feather busters re-
presented smoke. The tender was built
up into a pyramid with the handsomest
and rarest condiments and cereals drawn
from every cline. The tender rested on
four barrels OF Royal Premlum Flour,
which represented its wheels. The whole
design was entirely different from the usual
packing up OF goods on shelves and In
showcases. and the whole exhibit, 10 by
% feet was so handsome and ingenious
that IL excited universal wonder and admi-
ration at its conception and construction.
We heard many wishes for photograph
OF it. We asked Mr.. Blair how II was that
he had secured such 4 large business in so
short a period As Two years, and he simply

The Theatre Last Night.

Planquette's new comic-opera, Grip
Van Winkle," was performed in Rich
mond for the first time last evening by
Ford's company, now playing at the Thea
tre. Quite fair audience was present,
and IN even and pleasant performance was
given. The opera is. on the whole, de-
cidedly interesting, with a quantity Of
'pleaSins music, much OF it suggestive Of
the Chimes Of Normandy.
With the exception OF Mr. Chapman. who
played the titlc-role, the cast and chorus
did very well. Mr.. Chapman is clever
actor, but he has not the voice to sing the
part OF " Rip Van Wrinkle" Miss May ap-
peared as Gretchen, and won much favor
with her auditors. She is an intelligent
lyric actress. and does well everything she
essays. ON the whole the performance
was good
Tonight the same opera will be repeated,
and at the matinee to-day "Girola" will
be thc attraction.

The Final Verdict

at the State Fair yesterday seemed to be
that no such exhibit OF pianos and organs
had ever been made in the South rs that OF
Messrs. Ryland & Lee. The style and
number OF instruments and their artistic
arrangement impressed all visitors. No
thing like it has ever been seen ut our State
Fair before. With such line OF pianos as
Steinway, Chickering, Kranich & Bach,
and Fischer, and such organs as Mason &
Hamin, Wilcox & White, Burdett, and
Shoninger, this firm is to be congratulated
on the manner in which they met public
expectation and gratifed public taste.
