The election in Virginia is for governor,
lieutenant governor attorney general, and
legislature ON which will deyOlve the
choice Of n United States senator. With the
personnel of the ticket IN this and other
states our readers have been made suili-
cicntly familiar. The Democrats carried
the state IN 's3 aud 81, but II is not by any
meals evident that they have had a majority
ui the voters ON their side since the first Re
adlustcr victory. They now have complete
control of the election machinery, under
law passed by means OF bold, unblushng
usurpution. The campaign has been in
tenscly exciting, and Is universally CON
codcd to have been much more ably man
aged on the Republican than on the
Democratic side II Is the sincere
belief Of the HgpumIcAN that II the
election approXimates II decent stand
ard Of fairness, the Democrats viii
suffer defeat by at least 5000 adverse ma

Republicans will be prevented from voting
by finding their names dropped from the
lists, and that larger numbers will he kept

THE quotation from the Presidents state

was pure accident, the headline being
intended simply to give proper Significance

CHAIRMAN BARRoUG Of the Democratic
state committee of Virginia has adrOtly kept
his competitor for the Senate, Hon. John
w. Daniel, travelling in those portions of
the state where the formers interest, would
not be imperled or the latters advanced.
The friends Of Mr.. Daniel do not enjoy
this, and in the event of a Democratic ma
iority In the legislature will take care to
knife Barbour with dark horse.

tiierds Of civil service reform on the Demo
cratic side Of either house. Not one OF the
DemucmtU state conventions of this year
las indorsed the law, not one OF them has
failed to hit II hard blow directly or by
clear implication. The Democratic party,
rs whole, opposes the law and indorscs the
President only so fur as he departs from the
spirit Of the reform which that law was in-
tended TO Introduce aud help on.
But there will be n large Democratic far
ticn In each branch Of Congress that Will
stand by the President aud, as a matter Of
policy, oppose any assault on this law. The
Republicans will vote with them. The re-
suit will he that the act will stand as It is.
There are various other subj bjocts-notably
the silver Question--on which the Demo-
cratic brethren are sure to have any amount
Of hard talk. bnt on which they are unlikely
to pass bills. In fact, the country may look
for eight months Of talking with very little
Of doing.
It will be n lively session, and very en-
loyable to Republicans. There is not the
least danger that Il will do any serious harm,
and there is room to hope that 1t may do
some good in non.partisan directions.
National Republican., 1885-11-03

Attentive readers Of the NATIONAL Re.
PUBLICAN may have noticed in its columns
during the last three months tendency to
touch upon partisan political topics with
some degree Of frequency. In fact, the
state campaigns Of 1885, especially those Of
Virginia and New York, have received that
large measure Of attention at our hands
which their importance seemed to demand.
The first party contests under the first
Democratic administration in q quarter of Il
century could not fail TO excite deep and
general interest, especially IN this capital,
where although there is no voting for pub
lie officials, there is stronger party feeling
than iu almost any other American city.
But the state campaigns Of the year being
now virtually ended the REPUBLICAN will
chccrfully turn to other subjects, not doubt
ing that events sufficiently varied and in
tcrcsting will follow each other in such
close ORDER and at such rapid pace, that
the chief difficulty will be to select from
the many the comparatively few that can be
discussed at length.
In less than five weeks the forty-niuth
Congress will have assembled for a long and
undoubtedly exciting session. The two
houses being politically at odds, the domi-
nant party in the House Of Representatives
being altogether out OF accord on each aud
all of the great questions which will be pre-
sentcd for consideration, the two branches
of the executive standardization and
Senate-being politically opposed are con
t,1 I1t,1 1,a11 I,
duciye to the reverse Of harmony.
1t Is not the opinion Of this journal that
the Republican Senate will desire to pro-
woke any unpleasantuess with the Demo-
| cratic President. OF course the President
can have no wish to invite opposition on
| the part Of the Senate. But 1t will be very
strange indeed under all the circumstances,
sharp collisions are avoided. There are
| appointments which will he strenuously
| opposed for good reasons and which will,
| in all probability, fail Of confirmation
not because the appOintces are Democrats,
but because they are such Democrats as in
| the opinion Of many honorable men Of both
| parties, ought not TO have been nominated.
II Is by no means necessary 10 impute
| wrong motives In these cases. Honest
differences of opinion between the appoint
ing and tonliming powers are quite sufli-
| cient TO account for what Is likely to hap
! pen--the rejection of names that will be
sent in. But such reflections will almost
inevitably create deep feeling in the Senate,
and anmosities engendered there are not
unlikely to he transferred to the other end
Of the avenue, We do not apprehend very
serious trouble, but the public may safely
rely on this source for share of the win
ter's excitement. lnasmuch as Republican
/ Presidents and Republican Senates have re-
| pcatedly failed to get along smoothly, it
may be fairly expected that there will be
friction between Democratic President
and Republican Senate.

The causes which lead to lawyers
verbosity are variously given. Some
ascribe it to the fact that ancient scri-
veners were paid for drawing deeds and
kindred documents at so much dozen
words. Others assert that the redundant
expressions such as ''to have and to
hold" "divers and sundries, " Sin such
cases made and provided" "said and
aforesaid" "to-wit," /" namely" and
other repetitions add binding force,
riveting, SO to speak, the declarations;
while others scynically remark that super
abundance of verbiage is like Count
Cavour's idea of craftsmanship used to
'sconceal ideas" and make litigation
continued business for the lawyers. In
many respects, New Jersey law affords
greater room for improvement than
even the neighboring State of New
York. Our practice is mainly copied
after the old English law and we have
inherited all the verbal fux for which
the old documents are noted. In New
York the adoption of the code and
more modern practices have curtailed
somewhat the longevities and repeti-
tions, but there is still enough left to
require liberal pruning and elimination,
and it is refreshing to know that the
New York lawyers themselves are set
ting about the work of reform.
At the last meeting of the Language
club of the metropolis, David Dudley
Field spoke against the 'damnable tier
alton of lawyers language. Judge
Dillen indorsed the sentiment; it was
stated that 1910 unnecessary words in
every mortgage entail an unnecessary
expense of S1oo, 900 annually on the
people of New York, and bold stand
was taken in favor of reform and ver-
bal contraction This is move in
the right direction and when undertak-
en- by the lawyers themselves bids fair
to amount to something. New Jersey
lawyers will do well to follow the ex-
ample speedily.
