DOMESTIC.
The Coming Election in Virginia.
WASHINGTON, February 1st.-In Novem-
Der next the people of Virginia will elect
State officers, members of the Assembly
and half of the members of the State SEN
ate. The Republicans will make an extra
ordinary effort to carry the election, as they
realize how much depends upon the result
with reference to the Presidential election
of 1888. Senator Malone told your CORE
spOndent tonight that he thinks the Re
publicans have an excellent prospect OF
success. Il think" said Malone, that
the leaders of the Republican party will
pay greater attention to the South IN the
next Presidential election than they have
done for many years past. By the exercise
of Federal patronage, it looks very much
as though the Democrats might make New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut prac
tically secure. The change of patronage
from Republican to Democratic hands gives
the latter party great additional strength
in the Empire State. If the Republicans
can carry all the Northern States excepting
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and carry Virginia also, they can elect the
President. Give the Republicans Indiana
and Virginia, with their other Northern
vote, and it will more than overcome the
loss of New York, Connecticut and New
jersey
