POLITICAL.

Additional election returns do not change
in any way our estimate as to the democratic
msiority on the State ticket or the complex
ion OF the General Assembly, as published in
yesterdays GAZETTE.
Gen. Malone declines to tell the demo.
Gratis what his plan for settling the State
debt was aud says if he did they wouldn't

The Indications are that there will be but
three colored members in the next Virginia
legislature. These are Senator Griggs, OF
Prince Edward, who held over from the last
legislature Ross Hamilton, who has repre-
sented the county of Mecklenburg for near
ly 20 years, and Delegate elect Fields, OF
Elizabeth City county, who is the only ne
gro Commemorative attorney in Virginia.

ry, superintendent of public instruction,
superintendent of public printing, commits

The few members of Congress who have
arrived in Washington express the opinion
that the result in Ohio puts an end TO Nc
Kinley's chances of securing the speakership
of the House. There is also an impression
among Ohio democrats that an effort will
probably be made to redistrict McKinney's
district 30 as to throw enough democratic
votes into 1t to prevent his return to Con
gress. The district adjoining is heavily
democratic, and it is thought that few
thousand votes can be spared for the pur.
pose of retiring the protectionist leader.
1t is said that ]. Donald Cameron, the
senior Senator from Pennsylvania, will have
the fight of his life when he shall appear
before his State legislature for re election
a year hence.
There is a report that some the republican
members o! the Iowa Legislature will not
support Senator Allison and that by combn'

defeat.

Especial Correspondence OF the Aloxs. dAGETTEJ
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 8. 1889.
Senator Blair was at the Capitol to-day.
The Senator, 1t will he recollected, stumped
Virginia for General Malone during the re-
cent campaign In that State. Being asked
this morning what he thought of the result,
he replied that he was surprised at the mag
nitude of the fraud, as the public meetings
he addressed there were always larger and
composed of better material than those ad.
dressed BY democratic speakers; but that 1t
was Just as easy to steal forty.three thousand
as five thousand. When asked what effect
the result would have upon the proposed
adoption of federal election law for State
elections, he said he did not know, and that
the solution of that question depended upon
the extent the peope of the whole country
would allow such outrages upon suffrage to
proceed. He added that the proposition
would certainly provoke long and exciting
discussion, but that what the result would
be he could not tell.
Mr.. Lsdom. sergeant at arms of the
House, and several other people from Ohio,
at the Capitol to-day, say that the demo
Gratis having elected ajority of the Iegis
lature of that State will redistrict it so that
of the twenty.one members of the House to
which that State is entitled, the democrats
will be sure to have sixteen.
Mr.. Randall Is still con6oed to his bed,
which indeed he has not left since he ar
rived in this city. His many friends are
very respondent concerning his condition,
being fearful that he will never again be
able to take an active part in the proceed
ings of the House. MIR. Randall Is consid.
srsbly surprised at the result OF the recent
elections in both Ohio and Virginia. 10
which States he supposed the protectionists
won have made a better showing. he
prophesied republican msjority OF thirty
thousand in Ohio, as Campbell had voted
for the Mills bill; and his son lost bet on
Virginia.

No MAN can vote In Massachusetts unless
he can read aud write, and in Pennsylvania
not until he has paid his poll tax. But the
congressional representation of neither State
ia diminished by these restrictions. Those
States. to be sure, are in the North, but they
are also in the Union, and as all the States
in the Union ara equally free. what Is per.
mitted by Congress in some of them. should
certainly be permitted In others, even
though the others be In the South. AS the
recent election proved that, with few e1cep-
lions, the negroes of Virginia. unless bought
are so Ignorant as to vote even against their
own interests, the Legislature, which will
meet next month, should adopt some
means. either the Massachusetts OF
the Pennsylvania plan, or both, or some
equally as efficient, for restricting their suf-
frage. poll tax is now laid in Virginia,
and no white man who respects himself, and
has any regard for the value of the privilege
of suffrage, would object to making Its pay
rnent prerequisite to the exercise of that
privilege. Something must be done to ward
of so serious danger to the State as a solid
negro vote at every election.
