Mahone's Electoral Ticket.

The State executive committee of the Malone
republican party have made changes in the cleo
toral ticket so as to make it conform with new
districts of the State The following is tho ticket
as amended Electors at large, Lewis E. Harvc,
of Amelia and William II. Turner. OF Norfolk
city District electors-Fir>t district, T. Bayly
Brown of Accomac; second district, G. II. Causey,
of Nansemond third district, S. Blair Morris, of
Richmond: fourth district, J. II. Van Aukcn, Of
Petersburg; fifth district. +. r. Brown, Of Henry
sixth district, p. H McCaull, Of Roanoke; seventh
district, R. ]. Walker, of Shenandoah eighth dis
trict Lewis Mckenzie. of Alexandria, ninth dis
trict, II. w. Holloway, of Scott; tenth district.
S. Brown Allen, of Augusta No concession was
made to the straightout leaders in these chlnges.
The new men selected by MahOnc with the ex-
ception Of Mckenzie, of Alexandria, were until
recently democrats. 1t was generally given out
by Mahonc's people that when their electoral
ticket was amended the new men would be chosen
from among the old time republicans in the State.

AND so, rs a means to get some money
from the national republican committee, Ma
hone has partially complied with the condl'
ton imposed by that committee, which was
to change his Presidential electoral ticket,
and put upon it the name of at least one
man who has heretofore voted the re-
publican ticket The changes are as fol-
lows: Morris, of Richmond for Hubbard ;
McCaul, of Roanoke, for another HUBBARD
and Mckenzie, of this city, for Louthan.
Craig, the internal revenue collector, came
here to inquire about E1r Agnew's fitness
for the position, but as that gentleman was
not selected, it is supposed he did not
possess the qualifications found in Mr.. Nc
Kenzie. Both these gentlemen are republi'
cans, and both opposed Malone last fall
and did what they could to defeat him, the
only difference in their opposition being
that that of the former resulted from prin'
ciple and was cxerted quietly, while tina,
of the latter was induced by his removal
from office by Malone, and was manifested

OYSTERS Tho long drought has not only dam

OYSTERS The long drought has not only dam
aged the crops throughout the State, but has
had an injurious effect upon oysters. The Cen
trcvile Md Observer says: "This might appear
strange to many not posted in oyster culture, but
it is nevertheless truo. In the absence of rain
the streams of fresh water flowing in the tributa.
res of the bay have been very meagre, and the
oystcrmen say that thore has not been sufficient
fresh water mingled with the salt water of the
rivers for the development and fattening Of the
oysters. This is applicable especially to the beds
of tongmen planted in shallow water for shipment
in barrels. And several in tho Patuxent river
have taken up the oysters and removed them to
the small streams of fresh water emptying into
the river. This is accounted for by the oyster
men from the fact that at the head of the streams
there is more nurimcnt for the oysters on account
OF the vegetable matter contained in the fresh
water, which, as general thing flows through
rich lnarshy and grassy SOIL and that better pro-
lection is offered by the solt bottoms of the
streams The tide carries q sufficient flow of salt
water to the removed plants to enable them to re-
tain their flavor"

Mr.. PuRCELL Was the editor Of the lead
ing democratic newspaper in Rochester, and
was on the electoral ticket Of New York.
He was SO much opposed to Governor
Cleveland's nomination for the Presidency
that he resigned his editorship and with
drew his name from the electoral ticket as
soon as the Governor was nominated. Mr..
Purcell was grossly deceived by the I'M
founded stories about the Governor-now
circulated, it is proved, at the instance OF
MIR. Blaine-and By the reported disatfec-
ton among the democratic voters. But

THE BLAINE travelling show had added
to it yesterday Bruce, the negro register of
the Treasury. The negro vote in several
of the Northern States will decide the
electoral vote of those States, and Bruce
has been added to the show to attract his
race. The negroes in the North, as in the
South, will be made to vote solidly for
Blaine. And Yet there are few white men
in the South who, having no other means of
rendering themselves notorious, do so by
pra,ing about the evils Of the color line
drawn hy The democrats. The democrats
do not draw the color line, but the Blaine
ties do, and they do it efectually by teach
ing the negroes to make it hot" for such OF
their race as may express a. wish to vote

A RAIN MAcH1SE.-After great battles, violcn,

A RAIN MACHISE.-After great battles, violent
rain storms are Of very general occurrence
This is due, it is now known to the agitation
produced in the air by the violent explosions of
cannon and musketry. The detonatons attract
clouds, and at length comes the grateful rain to
disspate the smoke of the battle, soothe the agony
of the wounded and dying. Acting upon this
hint. inventors have been at work at the task of
making machines which wonld break up seasons
of dIonght Great fires and explosions of gun
powder have been suggested, but the cost would
be too great for the'small area benefited by the
sll ,wer that would follow. In Australia new
rain-producing machine is about to be tested 1t
is simply balloon which carries up into the air
heavy charge of dynamite. At sufficient dis
lance above the earth the dynamite is exploded
by an electric current that passes through the
wire communicating with the earth. This ma
chine will not be expensive, and should it sue
coed in breaking up drought, tho human RAGS will
be vastly benefited. 1t will be the f st step en-
ahing us to control the amount of moisture we
get from the heavens. Should we succeed in rid
ding any portion of our planet of dry spells hurt
ful to vegetation we would soon find means of
dissipating clouds which were dispensing too
much rain. 7 he fertility of the earth would be
quadrupled if man could at will produce rainy
and dry weather, and who will say in view of the
In Irvels of modern control over nature that man
will not in time have as complete command of the

TIE DEMOCRATS of the 4th congressional
district in this State ought to know what is
best for them better than anybody else. But
it may be in their case, as in some others,
that those less directly interested are better
able to determine what is best for them
than they are themselves. Ifso, it is hoped
that the congressional convention they will
soon hold will make no nomination. Let
Mahone's white candidate, Brady, and Cam
eron's negro candidate, Evans, have the
contest to themselves. That fight will do
the democrats more good than even the
election of democrat, if such an imIos-
sible thing were possible. That fight will
keep every negro in the district there on
