The OLD DOMINION REsToRED-MAHoNE
INDIGNANT.
RICHMOND, Nov. g. The weather is
clear and cool. The election is progressing
quietly, although both parties arc working
hard. At o'clock a number of precincts in
the county had polled over three-fourths of the
registered Votes. AT several precincts, where
the colored vote prcponderates, long lines Of
voters are apparently waitingltheir turn. 1t is
probable that when the sun goes down many
will have failed TO deposit their ballots. Re,
ports from other parts of the state indicate
the polling of full vote. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that the aggregate vote of the State
will greatly surpass that Of last November.
The election in Virginia to-day was for gov.
ernor, licutenant-governor and attorney-gen.
eral, also the entire new house and senate,
OF the new senators to be elected are now
Republicans and II Democrats
So far as heard from the election passed of
quietly. Some 400 precincts heard from show
Democratic gain of 1900 over CleveIand's :
vote.

about forty voting precincts, including voting
places in several doubtful counties, show ael

Cuipepper, Prince Edward, Halifax, Charlotte

will give the Democrats a good majority ir
both houses.
A DEMOCRATIC SWEEP.
