that he pandered TO the Knights OF

advised Cloney 10 arm himself. The

10 the office. Five minutes later Major
William Gentry entered the room, and,
stepping up TO Heard, seized him by the

Following so close upon one OF the most
bitter political contests that has ever taken
place in the district, the hasty meeting be-
tween these noted leaders OF the Democratic
party created great sensation. Mutual
friends have endeavored to effect recon-
Citation between the chief actors. but no.
thing in that dire ction has yet been aeon
plishod. Both men are impulsiye ~ nature

feared that when they meet again the trou-

oh,For One Hour OF Barbour.

We suspect that this cry has gone up
from more than one Democratic heart in
Virginia within the last twenly-four hours.
rs the dishcarieniug returns came in only
too swiftly from the various sections Of
tbe STATE, showing bow sadly we needed the
man 10 whose great executive and admins.
ustve ability was 80 much due the sue
c,sscs Of the Democratic party I'm the two
ureyious campaigns. What Virginia Demo-
Gratis needed in this contest. Just ended so
d.as,Iously to them, was a leader-an ctfi-
Gent. hard-wOrking chairman Of the Cen
ual Executive Committee, such man as
was Hon. John ;. Barbour, who has been
absent IN Europe. We trust that he may
le prevailed upon TO take the helm again
and bring the State out OF her difficulties.
We presume that the failure OF the Dem
ocratic party 10 give Mr.. Barbour the re-
Wsrd his services deserved by electino him
10 lbe United states Senate, was one OF the
potent causes that contributed TO the Re.
publican victory on Tuesday.
Undoubtedly the most potential reason
that kept the Democrats away from the
polls was the great dissatisfaction with Mr..
Cleelapd's policy as il effects the South,
and this city IN particular. They see no
