CLERKS AND JUDGES.
The clerks and judges of election are
going to have long and tlresome Job
on Thursday and Thursday night, and It
will be eninentIy in order for the City
Committee to have supper, at least, fur
nlshed them.
A small allowance made for this pur-
nose to each precinct could be adyan-
tageously spent in this way.
The general opinion is that it will be
almost indispensable to have more cleri-
cal help at the large precincts unless the
committee expect the counting to be
going on all night long.
RULES GOVERNING THE ELECTION.
The following rules have been adopted
by the City Central Democratic Commit
tee for the government of the election:
"The polls will be open from 6 \. ~ 10 p,

There was large attendance at the
Mozart mUsjcate last night and bril-
liant programme was rendered by the
Boston Star Concert Company, assisted
by Captain Cunningham and the Amateur
Orchestra
Mrs. Medora Henson-Emerson, of the
Boston Company, has a grand soprano
voice, which she uses with consum-
mate skill. Her first song last evening
was "Dis Moi" by Caryll, the second,
angels Lullaby" and the third, Go
ing to Market, by Delhi, all Of which
were given with great expression and in
truly artistic manner. The LULLABY"
was composed by Mrs. Emerson-both
words and music-and was sung with
cornet obligato, the latter by Mr.. Emer-
son. If this song IS a fair sample OF
what Mrs. Emerson can do in the way OF
composition she ought to write more
pieces for publication. All of her num-
bers we're enthusiastically received last
night, but the "Lullaby" was n gem.
Mr.. Emerson as cornet-player was
among the very finest We have had here,
aud Mr. Kings piano solos and accom-
paniments were excellent.
Miss Brown is fine reader, and she
last night carried the audience by storm.
She is probably the equal of any reader
that has ever appeared before a Rich
mond audience.
Mrs. Emerson is a daughter of Rev. 2.
S. Henson, ID. d., Baptist minister Of
great distinction, formerly of Virginia,
but now pastor OF one of the wealthiest
churches i'll Chicago. She was born IN
Fluyanna county, in this state. Mr..
Emerson is member OF DeMolay Com
mandery of knights Templars, OF Bos-
ton, and he and his lovely wife have
many friends here.
The entire company have received
much social attention since they reached
our city last Saturday evening.
An enjoyable feature of last evenings
entertainment was the singing by our
own sweet amateur tenor, Captain
Frank Cunningham, Of song composed
for him by Mr. n. B. Clapp, Of this
city, entitled "Thy Sunny Smile Once
More ] See" This composition is one
of decided merit, and reflects credit
upon Mr.. Clapp. 1t was well rendered
by Captain Cunningham.
The Amateur Orchestra, under the dl-
rection of Mr.. Kessnich, performed well
their part Of the programme, and were
applauded for their efforts. All Of the
artists received numerous cncorcS, to
which they gracefully responded.

Isoen & Co.'S LithoGraphic Pressmen
CONT

The lithOgraDhic pressmen OF A. HOen
e Co. S establishment stopped work Sat
urday noon contrary to orders from the
foreman, and yesterday morning when
they came TO work Mr.. Hoen would not
let them 60 on.
While the animus of this action seems
to be dissatisfaction with the foreman OF
the press-room, the question OF hours IS
also concerned.
For several years the men have worked
nine hours a day (including Saturdaysl
during the winter and ten hours Except
Saturdays. when labor ceased at noon
in the summer. The number of hours
(fifty-four) is the same the year round.
Last Wednesday one of the pressmen
asked Mr.. Hoen when they could begin
the warm weather arrangement. he
answered, Gas soon as .yOu please, "
and added that it made no difference TO
him. The men then decided that it
should commence Saturday, the first day
OF their working week.
Friday evening. however the foreman
told the hands under him that they would
hare to work full hours Saturday. 1t
seems that the place was crowded with
work, and Mr.. Hoen therefore wanted as
much accomplished on Saturday as pos
sible. If Mr.. Hoen had asked the men
to work, they say, they would not have
gone out; they would do anything for
Alr. Hoen that they could but the i'm
perative tone of the foreman they de-
clare they could not stand, and SO they
left.
OF course if the presses cannot work
the other work is paralyzed temporarily.
Mr.. Hoen will get other pressmen from
the North.

FOR 1886.

The APbeai enters upon ITS forty
sixth year ripe in he experiences of

or the whole country, but especially for
this this and the neighbering States
that shall surpass the dreams Of the
most sanguine All the question
growing out Of slavery, and which left
tnearly three generations have been set
tied, and the states have adjusted them
selves to the new conditions in a spir
it Of unity, peace and concord. There
are heretofore, no issues before the
country that are net common to all the
people, and that are not of an econom
cal and national character. There are
no questions before the National Leg
stature that do not equally affect the
he interestsof the States and that can
not be discussed from a basis Of per
soma | welfare by the by the citizens Of
all Oh them. For the future therefore
egisla, on both national and State. is
to be OF business character, and Is
for that reason to come home closer
and closer to the individual citizen.
Personal politics is with the bosses, to
be regulated the past, and civil ser
vice reform is to secure to the country
honesty efficiency and Industry in
public places. The political outlook
IS all that could be desired. Presiden
Cleveland has made an abiding impress
sion upon this csuEtry, and at the close
Of bis administration will have recon.

mineral lands Of the North and West.
