FACTORS IN POLITICs.-We agree
with the Dispatch that the unthinking
too often give to public speakers far
greater credit for gaining victory than
they are willing to give to the press.
They do not know that whilst speaking
is more snowy and attractive, writing
is more efIectual and substantial. They
do not remember that the public jour-
nails largely furnish the basis and mate
rial for public speeches, and that, more
over, while the public speaker is adj
dressing his audience the public jour
nal is speaking to ten times as many.
The Saul Of the hustings Stays his
thousands, but the David Of the press
his ten thousands. 1t is forgotten, still
further, that during three fourths of the
year, while the public speaker is rest
ing from his political labors, the editor
is defending the principles of his party
and keeping the people awake to their
danger.
But there is still another factor in
public affairS-One which is far greater
than press and public speaking COM
bined, and without which both of these
would be powerless. 1t is that force
of earnest workers who win no fame
beyond their neighbOrhoods, but who,
by their faithful and intelligent labor
from man to man and from house tC
house, always win the right to the
greatest share Of glory that descend'
upon a party in time Of victory.-&ats
Well put, indeed.

Referring to the elections yesterday,

tons in either New York or Virginia. |
expected that Hill and Lee would be
elected, and wrote to that effect in
letter | addressed to Mr.. Cox, our Min
lister at Constantinople, several days
ago. regard the result in New York
as a straightout Democratic victory,
with all that that implies. OF
course / am sorry that the In
dependent Republicans felt like
taking the opposite side to that
which they espoused last year, but they
have chosen their place and must abide
by the result. ] think this will prove
to be one of the most far-reaching, as it
is one of the most sweeping, victories
that has been won for many years. 1t
will, in my opinion, settle good many
questions. Judging from the returns
of this morning, there seem to have been
Democratic gains in several other States
beside New York and Virginia, indica-
ting that the Democratic Administra-
ton has come to stay. AS to the Viz
ginia contest, | have long regarded it as
impossible that the Malone combina-
ton should be permanent. 1t is too
bad for such thing to be thought Of"
Said Senator Mcdonald 1t shows
that the Administration is holding its
own and doing very well. The result
in New York is an endorsement Of
President Cleveland, and the general
result shows that there are no breaks
Of any consequence in the lines Of the
two parties, only the Democrats seem
to be in the best shape and gaining. !

Aquilla Jones, who is still postmas-
ter, was in highly complacent frame
of mind this morning, and sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Hill:

platform, it seems proper that | should
send you my hearty congratulations.

There is absolutely nothing in the
point made against General LEE that

hold Office in Virginia. 1t is evident,
however, that it was MALONE secret

natl Commercial Gazette on Monday
night as follows:

Which shows that +. d. NJ. doesn't

No Sunday Nanspnper..

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, November 5.
Somethink like the effect Of thunder
bolt from a clear sky was the sensation
of the community this morning when
they woke to find that the City Coun-
ell had passed a regular blue law for
Sunday government. The ordinance
prohibits all kinds Of traffic, except the
selling of medicines, including the sale
of newspapers, the keeping o)en of
barber-shops, the employment of boot
blacks, and even the running Of street.
cars and liSery-stables. Mayor Lane
opposed the measure, but says he will
enforce it as long as it is law. The
matter will raise trouble. The passage
of the ordinance is attributed to the ln-
fuence of Sam Jones and Sam Small,
the Georgia eyangelists, who have been
here for the last ten days preaching in
a big tent three times day to vast
throng Of people.

A MARTYR RIO SCIENCE.
Lima Medical studears Fatal Experiment:
on Himself.


The following particulars are given in
the Panama Star and Herald Of fatal
medical experiment made in Lima A
young medical student studying for his
final examination selected as the sub
ject Of his dissertation report on the
well-known disease Indigenous to Peru,
known as verrugas, or oroya-fever. la
order to form q perfect diagnosis Of the
case, the student caused himself to be
inoculated with virus from yerru-
gas pustule, and then awaited the re-
suit. He soon exhibited all the symp-
toms Of oroya-fever, and was confident
that his experiment would prove
valuable to the medical profession. I'm
fortunately his strength was not sutti-
cient to withstand the yirulence Of the
fever, and on the 5th instant, after suf-
fering excruciating agony, he died. The
police ordered an investigation to prove
the culpability Of the physicians who
permitted or practiced the innoculation.
The remains were followed to the grave
by the scientific and medical notabili-
ties Of Lima, who declare that the stu
dent was a martyr to science, and that
his name must be associated with those
Of Pasteur, Jenner, and Ferran.

The Old Dominion

While we are rejoicing over the re-
suit in New York State, it is we'll to re-
member that the result in Virginia is
even more important from the point of
view Of a southern Democrat. Malone
ism was the entering wedge, and many
northern Republcans--comparatively
honest and respectable men-have been
led to make substantial contributions
to the Malone party in Virginia in the
hope that the success Of Mahoneism
would lead to the breaking up of the
solid South.
We have observed that many honest
and intelligent Republicans, who are
sane on every other subject, have been
led into the belief that solid South is
somehow menace to the nation; but
it is to be hoped that these honest Re-
publicans will discover, before the solid
South melts entirely away, that this
section is solid only in behalf of honest
government, honest political methods,
and national unity. In behalf Of these
things the South is indeed solid, and
will remain solid.
This is the lesson of the result in
Virginia. Rascality can prevail in the
Old Dominion no more than in Georgia.
1t secured stronger foothold in Vir-
ginia than it could possibly secure in
Georgia, but this fact grew out of cir
cumstances that were natural in Vir-
ginia, but which would be unnatural in
Georgia.
The returns show that Mahoneism,
which is only another name for tbs worst
form Of Republicanism, has been COM
pletely buried in Virginia, and for this
the South should be profoundly thank
full. The contest, once settled, will
not have to be fought over again. Vir-
ginia is redeemed and Mahoneism is
destroyed. -Atlanta Consultation.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 7, 1885.
Let That Day Come.

Everything goes to show that the
bloody shirt has been furled. We are
pleased to perceive indications that
even MuRAT HALsTEAD has seen the
error of his ways. He has made upon
the results of this weeks elections in
Virginia no comments indicating that
be had ever attempted to arouse Sec
tional prejudices. The following para
graphs appear to have been penned
when he was in good bumor and not
at all afraid of FITz LEES cavalry.
Mr.. HALsTEAD says:
"The solid South stands mistaken
and the walls Of the Democratic citadel,
New York city, have not been over
thrown by the blowing Of Mugwump
ram's-horns or the playing of game
of double-shuffIe with the Democratic
Administration.
"This is the old state of affairs. As
Il was it is, but we trust it will not
ever be so. Cleveland and the Repub-
lican party are both rid Of the Mug
wumps, and if the Democracy are able
TO disassociate themselves from the
boodlers and blackguards who have
been setting up as ruling class within
the party, there is prospect that with
in q couple Of years we may have a
fair fight with some relations to an al
legged policy OF possible principle"
Those harsh words are intended to
apply only to certain Democratic lead
ers in Ohio-not to Democrats every
where.
Now, we say let the day come as
soon as possible when the people may
divide upon economic questions. We
in Virginia have had unique expert
ence in politics in our party relations.
Protectionists and nti-Protsctionists--
monometallists and bimetallists-Fund-
er Democrats and Readjuster-Demo-
crats-have felt themselves compelled
to stand together as against MALONE
and his methods. He has been elimi-
nated," let US hope and let us hope,
too, that the next campaign here will
not be directed merely against any man
or any mans methods.
There were nearly thirteen thousand
votes cast in this city last Tuesday.
OF these General LEE received q ma
iority Of 2,492. There are, we sup
pose, over five thousand negro votes
and over eight thousand white votes
here. But General LEES votes were
nearly all of them cast by white men.
We do not suppose that one hundred
negroes voted for him. On the other
hand, it follows that if nearly all FITz
LEES supporters were white, but few
hundred whites could have supported
WISE.
Does Mr.. HALsTEAD wish to per-
petuate that condition Of things? If
not, let him never again wave the
bloody shirt.

Mahoneism is dead in Virginia. In
the United States Senate Malone will
be succeeded by the Hon. John 5. Bar
bour, who for the third time, and in
three successive campaigns, has or
gained victory, or by some other De-
mocrat equally loyal and capable.
Unable any longer to reward their fol-
lowers, and shorn of political power,
Malone and Wise and the whole rapa-
cious gang will go to the rear and re-
main there. Political troubles and diff
ferences Virginia will doubtless have in
the future, but the greatest danger is
escaped. The better elements Of or
ganized society have triumphed, and

The Vote the silver Advocates Will

Have -NtAA
CHICAGO, Ills, November A.
Scudder's investment agency Of this
city has issued the following circular /:
Hon. A. j. Warner stated in paper
read before the Chicago Commercial
Club October 81, 1885, that 300 votes
in the present House Of Representatives
can be counted to oppose the sus-
pension of the coinage Of silver dol
lars, or words to that effect. As this
matter is of great Importance in buSi-
ness point Of view, and as doubt con-
corning it produces delay in enterprls IS,
we are endesvoring to ascertain as near
as possible the probability concerning
the attitude of the present Congress on
this question, we find that Of l49 repre-
sentatives who voted last winter against
a suspension of the rules in order to
allow the consideration of the civil APP
preparation bill containing the clause
authorizing temporary suspension OF
the coinage of the silver dollar, % have
been reelected and are members Of
the present Congress. These may
be counted on to vote in the same way.
OF the llS votes in favor of suspend
ing the silver coinage, 81 only have
been reelected. The silyer-men seem
TO have been more successful than their
opponents, securing the reelection of
new members, and those not voting on
this question last winter lin all III
more than one half came from those
parts Of the country known to be OPP
posed to the suspension Of the silver
coinage.
1t is therefore probable that at least
$50 votes in the present House of Re-
representatives. can be counted on to ap-
prove and prevent any attempt to sus-
pend silver circulation.
We have taken means to ascertain the
opinion Of new members and Of the alb
sentees last winter, and shall communi-
cate the result to our subscribers as
soon as ascertained."

We think thet we can say of Danville
what cannot be said Of any other town
or city Of Virginia-that not single
white man in the town voted the Ma
hone ticket. This is something to boast
Of. Our people have been libelled from
one end Of the Union to the other as
assassins and murderers, and yet there
was not a fight or disturbance of any
kind in the corporation. Every man
was allowed 10 vote without let or
hindrance. Two lines Of voters were
formed at the polls, and the tickets were
taken from the voters alternately and
with absolute fairness. Can there be
better evidence Of the falseness of the
accusations brought against Danville
by Malone and Wise than the conduct

telligent men to ponder this question
and answer honestly. Register.

try. Malone was buried in Virginia
beyond the possibility of resurrection,
the Democrats not only defeating his
candidate for Governor by great ma
jority, but also carrying the Legisla-
ture, which he relied upon to reestab-
lish his power by again electing him to
the Senate. His overthrow
is matter for scarcely less congratula-
