FIRST AMERICAN CARDINAL.
No Right of Succession 10 the Red Cap.
Washington Star

Washington STAR
"There is no right of succession to
the Cardinals cap" said Father Ahern
to Star reporter to-day. " In case of
Cardinal McCloskey's death Coadjutor
Archbishop Corrigan will succeed him
as Archbishop of New York, but not
as Cardinal, unless the Pope is so kind
as to bestow the cap upon the Diocese
Of New York. 1t is quite likely, how
ever, that this will be done. A cap
bestowed upon New York would neces-
sarily go to Archbishop Corrigan."
Cardinal McCloskey was the first
cardinal of America, and upon his
death he does not Of necessity have a
successor. The growth Of the Catholic
Church in this country has been so sat-
isfactory, however, that there is no
doubt felt about the continuance of the
cardinals cap in New York. But it
is thought that even greater favor will
he shown the Catholics in this coun-
try than that, and that before the
cap is again given to New York
either Archbishop Gibbons, Of. Balti-
more, or Archbishop Williams, Of BOs-
ton. will be made a Cardinal. 1t is
thought most likely that the cap will
be given to Archbishop Gibbons. The
cap will probably then be given to
Archbishop Corrigan, and there will be
two Cardinals in America. The Cardi-
nails elect the successor TO the Pope,
and in bestowing the cap the number of
Catholics in a diocese or country and
the condition and influence ofthe Church
is taken into consideration, and there
IL no rule to regulate the distribution
Of Cardinal iavors.

arraignment Of the Republican party OF
Virginia, its inconsistency, arrogance,
corruption, falsity OF assertion IN
its platform, and che grasping avarlce
Of lis leaders was terrific. HIS
advocacy Of the claims of the Demo.
cratic candidates satisfied the most
skeptical that they were indeed iortu-
nate in securing q ticket so pre-
eminently worthy of their support. HIS
allusion to Massey did the highest credit
to the noble political veteran, and
could only have been expressed
in such terms by one with the
head and heart Of Major Dan
lei. As matter Of paramount
importance, he implored his hearers to
relax no effort in securing the election
of their candidates for the Senate and
House Of Delegates. Upon Demo-
cratic Legislature rested the political
fate Of Virginia. What q sad predica-
ment would the gallant Lee be placed
in, occupying the gubernatorial chair
with a General Assembly antagonistic
in politics His hands would be tied,
and he would be powerless to achieve
for Virginia the grand results he was so
eminently fitted to achieve.
The speaker said he had advocated
and defended the public-school system,
and the party with which he was iden-
tilted have placed the schools on a firm
and enduring basis, and under its con-
troll had greatly increased their number
and efficiency, and no Daniel with
his torch =" would or could ever endan-
ger them. lie assured his hearers that
throughout his canvass, from the Poto-
mac TO the Carolina line, from noun
tsins to sea, the people were aroused as
never before, and the universal shout
was Lee and victory"
His speech throughout was the one
needed for this stronghold Of Republic
canism and accomplished great good.
The weak are now stronger, the hesi-
tating ale decided, and harmony and
determination for Democratic ascend
ency were visible in the countenances
of white and colored. Several negroes
informed me that they belonged to a
Democratic club, and appeared to be
proud of the fact.

This has been glorious day for the

A stand had been erected in beauti-
full grove, the weather was delightful,
band of music had been engaged, and
long before midday people from oil
parts of the county and from Mecklen-
burg and Halifax commenced to assem-
bic. Hundreds Of richly-dressed ladies
graced the occasion by their presence.
The business Of the village was suS-
pended. and all were eager TO hear the
eagle orator Of the South Side.
Promptly at the time appointed Major
Daniel assembled the stand, accompanied
by Hon. $. L. Reed, candidate for the
Senate, and Hon. A. j. Terry, candi-
date for the House from this county,
and other distinguished gentlemen. The
grand shout Of welcome that greeted
the appearance Of Major Daniel eylnced
the great appreciation the people of this
county entertain for their congressman,
the first Democratic one since the war.
Major Daniel spoke for over two
hours, and exceeded the expectations of
his mos; ardent admirers. The most
respectful attention was given him
throughout. lie indicated Cleveland

LEBANON, VA, October T.--Yes-
terdsy was the greatest day the Dem
ocracy of Russell has ever seen. In
the grove Of Mrs. Carroll, about one
Quarter Of mile from the courthouse,
General Lee and John A. Buchanan,
ESQ.,, addressed the largest crowd that
ever assembled in this county.
4 General Lee had spoken on Mon
dsy in Pulaski, and arrived at A Abingdon
at Q O'Clock yesterday morning, and
left there for this place at s o'clock.
At Mr.. John Y. Mason's, about six
miles from here, General Lee was met
by 1895 actual COUNTY mounted men,
in charge Of Captain II. II. Dickinson.
General Lee says it was the largest
procession OF mounted men that he has
seen during his canvass. General Lee
rode at the head OF the procession on
Captain John Fugate's sorrel horse,
which is said to be the best horse IN
Russell county, andwa accompanied by
Mr.. Howard. the Democratic candidate
for the House from this county. The
procession was one and half miles
long, and was preceded by the Bristol
Band. which furnished excellent music
for the occasion. The procession march
ed through town and back TO the grove
where the speaking was to be.
General fitz Lee spoke first, being
introduced in happy manner by Mr..
ii. A. Routh. lie spoke for some two
hours. covering almost every point in
the canvass. His speech was a most
excellent one. lie was followed by
John A. Buchanan, ESQ.,, in speech
of one hour. Mr. Buchanan's speech
was Of abe very first order. Both
speeches were received with the greatest
applause and enthusiasm.
At the conclusion Of General Lees
speech Mr.. Routh, on behalf Of the la
dies Of Russell, many Of whom were
present, presented Lee with a tree of
flowers. General Lee in handsome
manner returned thanks to the ladies'.
While in Abingdon General Lee
was the guest of Captain James
J.. White. and in Lebanon of Dir.
Routh, and spent last night with Mr..
William A. Stuart. lie speaks to-day
st Midway, in Tazewell county, and
will speak in Abingdon on the 18th,
when the people Of Washington will
vie with Russell in doing honor to our
distinguished candidate for Governor.
Page Morris spoke to the Nahoneites
in the courthouse here yesterday. lie
was introduced by County-Judge Nc
Broom, who said What means this
great demonstration Of mounted men
here to-day? Does it mean peace or
war? 1t does not mean peace, but
war" The Democrats here say that it
did not mean war such as McBroom
would have the people believe it meant,
but it did mean war on bloOdy-shlrtism
and Radical Mahoneism.
Russell is safe for Lee, Graham, and
Howard.

The French Elections.


LONDON, October The Times
to-day publishes an interview its Paris
correspondent had yesterday with
Prince IIohenlohe. German Ambassador
to France. respecting the recent cleo
tons for members of the Chamber OF
Deputies. Prince HoheDlohe said: In
my opinion, the only possible way I'M
der the circumstances, to form a stable
Government is by the union Of the
two Republican sections OF the Cham
Der. as am afraid that the
Radical Left minority will not de-
fer to the desires Of the moderate Left
majority regarding governmental mea-
sures. Europe has hitherto been ena-
blcd to be on good terms with the
French republic, but the republic OF
tomorrow mavdiller from the republic
Of yesterday. If the Conservatives use
their comparative victory solely in the
interest Of the country, they may easily
contribute towards maintaining or even
improving the relations of France
with the rest Of Europe. If, however,
they should use their increased forces
to disturb the situation and call IN
question the established order of things,
France would enter into a period oil
troubles and agitations, and would re-
oure the closest watching by foreign
statesmen. Every oscillation in France
at the present moment makes sensible
difference in the political calculations
which now occupy the attention OF Eu'
rome.
