A Precedent for Us.

The Washington Post says Of Ohio ;
"There were year ago in the con-
test for Secretary Of State thirteen
counties with less than three hundred
majority on the one side or tho other,
all Of which were sharply contested
last week"
There are in Virginia more than thlr-
teen counties which last year gave ma
iori,ies each less than hundred for
CLEVELAND or for BLAINE. In so
counties must all be sharply con-
tested" by the gallant Democracy.
Look at Ohio, and be encouraged to be-
lieve-nay, fully persuaded-that you
can easily carry the Legislature oil 'ir-
ginia. If in Ohio the Democrats could
come so near defeating Of election such
a man as SHERMAN, surely in Vir-
ginia the Democrats can easily defeat
Of election such o man as MALONE.
The results Of the elections for members
of the Legislature in that State oughtto
convince the Democrats Of this State
that victory lies within their grasp, and
that all they have to do is to stretch
forth their hands and pluck 1t.
BE sure of the Legislature. Swap
votes with nobody. Vote the straight
Democratic ticket. A victory in Vir-
GINA that should not include the politi-
cal death Of MALONE would be poor
victory indeed. Give him another
lease of legislative power, and nobody
could imagine the schemes that he
would concoct and perfect for perpetu-
ating his power. Give him another
Legislature-one without the Big Four
in it-and all the party schemes Of four
years ago will be harmless compared
with the measures with which he will
next winter aillict the people Of this old

The Providence Journal says

The Providence Journal says:
1--WE do not believe that it would be
Of benefit to the Republican party in
Virginia to have northern speakers visit
the State and take part in the campaign.
Virginia is peculiarly provincial in her
State pride, and must be left to fight
her own battles and work out her own
salvation"
AS a rule nothing pleases us more
than to see paper like the Journal ad-
vocate the policy of non-interference
from the outside in State elections. In
this instance, however, our Providence
contemporary puts in its oar against
such Intervention most inopportunely,
and affords another illustration of the fact
that it has no sense of humor. What does
the consideration thatit would do the Re-
publican party no good to have northern
speakers visit Virginia amount to when
we consider the fun that would be occa-
stoned by tilt between the average
northern Republican canvasser and the
average Virginia Democratic stumper
We hope our staid contemporary will
unbend for once and throw the weight
of its influence in favor Of allowing the
circus to proceed.

in maligning the people of Virginia, to
Boston. to beg money from the South
haters Of that city, with which to de-
bauch and buy voters in this State to re-

yirginian who respects himself or has
any regard for the reputation and wei
fare of his State resolve that no matter
how much money the General may get
from his political friends in the North,
it shall not be sufficient for the accom-
plishment Of his selfish, netarious. and
pernicious purpose. The next Virginia
senator will be chosen by the peoples

her own borders to prevail in the State,
are, contrary to the usual order OF

Lynchburg Virginian: There is no
fear Of defeat in this contest if the true

been an election in Virginia when a
large majority did not favor that which

NORFOLK, October 10, 1885.
Ala darky feast on the Great road
near Indian Greek, Norfolk county, on
Saturday night, there was drunken
row and tragic ending OF the iestivi-
ties.
Hamilton Blount and several Of his
friends wanted to take charge of the
entertainment. Jim Solomons objected,
and the row began, the females mostly
taking fight. Solomons, after a hard
struggle, got Blount down on the floor
on his back, and then getting astraddle
his body, drew o pistol and shot his
opponent, Blount, through the forehead,
killing him instantly. Solomons at
once left the house, and after going
home fed across the line into North
Carolina.
Officer Carey Brown started in pur-
suit of the fugitive yesterday morn
ing, and traced him to different places
in Currituck county, but failed to over
take him. Brown says he has reason
TO believe the murderer has reached
Norfolk. An inquest was held yester-
day by Justice Of the neighborhood.
A party Of New York capitalists ar
rived here last night, and left this morn
ing on q special steamer to make tour
of inspection over the Dismal-Swamp
canal as far as Elizabeth City, n. G.
These gentlemen propose to take hold
of the canal, if the prospect pleases
them, and make it the great inland
waterway for vessels Of large class.
To widen the locks and deepen the
canal to ten or twelve feet will require
q large outlay, but this company of
capitalists, it is said, are willing and
anxious to make the improvement un-
der conditions that will give them con-
troll Of the property.
1t is very probable the Norfolk Gym
nasium Association will close its fine
Nsin-street establishment on the first
of the year, owing to lack Of interest
on the part of the members. The
property includes an elegant amuse-
ment hall, boats, boat-house, baseball
park, etc., which will sell for much
more money than the Association owes.
At one time the roll embraced a men,
bership of several hundred. The
Portsmouth Gymnasium Association
has also fallen into decay, and closed
doors, and the few remaining members
will shortly sell out the property and
paraphernalia. Athletic sports are at
low ebb in the twin cities just now.
There were several Democratic meet
ings held in Princess Anne on Saturday.
William Cutler and Henry Wilson
(colored), have been arrested and are
held in Portsmouth for robbing Ed
ward Gordon on Friday night of trunk
containing 900.
The shipping in the harbor and va
rious public places have flags hung out
to-day in honor Of the anniversary of
the surrender at Yorktown.
The Democratic Pioneer Club of this
city will meet General Fitz Lee on his
arrival here on the 9th and escort him
to his hotel, and will be joined by the
Democratic clubs Of the surrounding
country. The pioneers s" will be
suitably uniformed, and the reception
and demonstration at night promises to
be an imposing affair. q.

Recently the Dispatch stated that so

subordinate all other questions to the

commenting on this, declares that we
put volume of vicious, calumnious
Misrepresentation into half a dozen
lines, and adds:

pie of Virginia have not been 'yilifed,
