WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 7, 1885.
AT a meeting OF the Virginia democratic
association of this city, held last night, the
association settled up their accounts lor Un9
resent campaign-showing tnat they nau
sent three hundred voters to Virginia aelel'
mined to continue Their organization, puI,
until the next election 10 their stale, 0nly as
social club, and adopted the ioi'o"lng
resolutions: -,
Pesolred, That we hail with profound
qualification the great victory OF Ine oe'no'
Cratic party in Virginia.
1st Because we believe it brushes forever
Mahoneism, the most dangerous political
faction that has ever disturbed the State;
Cd, Because it assures confidence socially,
politically and pecuuiarily among all classes
of her people. .,
Sd. II stops the tongue of SANDER, which
for political purposes through so many years
has been falsely directed against US.
4th, 1t shows that Virginia advocates pure
Jetlersonian democracy as the proper basis
of republican government.
9Th, Because it enables her to send ut
persons to represent her in the United States
Senate.
We congratulate our fellow citizens
throughout the entire country that the
States of Jefferson, Hamilton and Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, united their voices so
decidedly in procaiming pure Jeflersonian
democracy to be political truth.
Notwithstanding the posted notice on the
door of the White House that no oihcc seek
ers or their advocates are admitted, ueie-
cation of Illinois democrats obtained admis,
sion Yesterday and advised the President
to remove some Objectionable republican
Office holders in their State:
! close friend Of Mr. Barbour, in the city
to-day, says that that gentleman has already
received numerous assurances from members
of the Legislature of his State, that they IN
tend to support him for the Senate, and that
they will do so not only because they think
he Justly merits that reward, but because
their constituents think so too.
Among the numerous congratulatory let
tiers Mr.. Barbour has received upon the
successful issue of his management of the
recent campaign in Virginia is one from
medical friend in Norfolk, containing an
official certificate Of tho death Of Malone
ism. The first or chief cause Of death is set
down as an overdose Of honest democratic
ballots, and the second, the loss OF Arthur's
federal patronage, and its own innate cor
ruption. =
Congressman Hill, of Ohio, and Col. II. $.
Walker, of West Virginia, who stumped
Virginia for the democrats during the re-
cent campaign, are in the city to-day, and,
of course, are delighted with the result of
the election there That they did good and
effective service there is attested by nu-
merous people from that State now here.
1t is understood that the report of the Ia
Dor commission, now almost ready for de-
livery, will present marked contrast be-
tween the condition of labor in free trade
England and that of the protection coun-
tries of Europe, altogether favorable to the
former.
Congressman Townshend, of Illinois, and
Wilkins, of Ohio, both democrats, when in
terviewed this morning on the subject of
silver, agreed that the coinage Of silver dol
lars would not be suspended by the next
Congress- but that probably the intrinsic
value of the coin might be increased by put
ting more silver in it.
Local inspectors of steam vessels Nalen-
tine and Saville have made an investigation
of the case of the late collision between the
steamer 7. Y. Arrowsmith and the schooner
J. F. Clark, in tow Of the tug Hanson II.
Keys, between this city and Alexandria, and
conclude their report as follows: I'VE
deem the parties in charge of the schooner
as being in fault and exonerate the officers
in charge Of both steamers"
A gentleman from Alexandria here to. day
| says that Judge Stuart, of that city, who
| was the able and efficient Speaker of the
| last Virginia House of Delegates, has al
ready been informed by forty.two of the
one hundred members of that body that
they will vote for his reelection.
A Virginian in this city to-day, when
asked by friend what had become of Ma
honeism, replied it had been buried in
Foraker lot. 1t is the general impression
here that the trip of Senator Sherman to
Virginia induced thousands of democrats to
vote who otherwise would not have done SO,
and the hope is universal among democrats
that he may be the republican candidate for
the Presidency in 1888.
People here from Richmond say that
Governor Cameron's threat to defeat General
Malone if he shall attempt to run for The
U. S. House of Representatives in the
Petersburg district, or something else, has
| induced the General to declare that he will
not be a candidate for that position, and
that after his Senatorial term shall expire
he will be- content with private station in
Petersburg. They also say that Mr.. Wise
will remain in Richmond, practice law
there, and wait for opportunities.
Molie Dove, the drunken woman who,
being locked up last night in the third story
of house near 18th street, south of Penn
sylvania avenue, by the keeper of the house,
in order that she might get sober, and who
either jumped or fell out Of the window,
died about noon to-day.
