FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence OF the Alexs. 6AzEr
WAaHINl.roN d G. Nov q. 1895


WASHINGTON. D. O.. Nov. 4, 1889.
The possible result of to morrow's election,
aud especially of the one to be held in Vir.
ginia, is the chief if not the only topic Of
CONVEX 8 ton here to-day. The Virginia re-
publicans here don't hesitate to acknowledge
that the National Republican Committee
has supplied General Malone with all the
money he required, and that at least an av-
erage of one thousand dollars has been given
to his agents in each of the one hundred
counties in the State. II all that money be
spent, it will unquestionably buy good
many votes but the democrats hope and
believe that ninety out of every hundred
dollars of 1t will stsy where the agents re-
ferred to think they will do the n ost good
in their own pockels An immense number Of
negroes from this city have been sent to
Virginia to vote, and large number frum
New jersey and Pennsylvania passed
through here to day OF the same mission.
So many have left here that only a few OF
them are seen on the streets to-day. The
democrats also have been activein the work
of sending their voters home. ut.unlike the
negroes, every one of them Is known at his
voting precinct. No fraudulent white vote
can be polled In Virginia, because every
white voter there is known to every other
man around the polls; but it is entirely diff
ferent with the negro voters. They are not
easily identified where they vote, and less
easily where they apply for transportation.
Both the democratic and Malone headquar'
tiers here, Notwithstanding the many people
to whom they have already given trenspor.
tation, have been besieged to day with appi
cauts for railroad tickets to all parts ofVirgn-
| ia. Manyof these applicants are notregistered
and only want to save the fare of pleasure
trip others do not even intend to SO to
Virginia, but want to sell the tickets that
may be given to them. The sherpers are
numerous, and are more successful at the
Malone headquarters. because the demo-
cratic. have been established oDger,and the
clerks there are more experienced.
A Boston democrat here to-day, while
talking to the GAZETTE's correspondents said
that while every body here seemed to be IN
terested in the result of the election in Vir.
ginia, Ohio and Maryland, be had moi heard
word said of that in Massachusetts. He
said that though the republicans carried
that State by thirty thousand major
ity last year, he would not be
in the least surprised If the d,mocrats Car
ried it tomorrow. The old republicans
there, he said, were mad because their ia
yorite, Mr.. Grape, had not been nominated
for Governor. The nominee. he said, Is a
ringster, while the democratic nominee is a
young man of unsullied reputation, who
will receive not only the vote of the united
democracy, but that of the mugwumps also.

A Terrible Ordeal.

CHICAGO, Nov 4.-Eight passengers in q
street car had narrow escape from death
at the Lake street bridge Sunday. A ves-
sel was approaching aud the bridge tender
rang the bell. After doing so he let drop
the "stop, danger" card at the ends of the
bridge, turned on the steam and the bridge
began to move The bridge tender noticed
Milwaukee avenue car approaching on the
viaduct, 800 feet away, but supposed
the driver would stop. Seeing, how
ever. a moment later that the driver
had started down the incline toward the
opea bridge at rapid gait the bridge tend
or realized the possibility of horrible acoi
dent and st once reversed his engine. He
had swund out some twenty feet from the
pier and the bridge was moving rap.
idly, but full reversal OF the engine
brought the heavy iron structure to
standstill with a jolt and then
the ponderous treste work began
to swing back. The eight occupants
of the car, having heard the bell
on the bridge, peered ahead as passengers
will at such times to see if the car would
make 1t. When they saw that the bridge
had moved away and that the driver did
not attempt to put on the brake or stop the
car they were horror stricken with fear.
The bridge was now moving back more rap.
idly. and the frame work fairly trembled
with the impulse of the engine under full
head of steam. At the same time the
driver was letting out his horses as
if determined to plunge into the
stream 80 feet below, before the bridge
could swing straight. Nearing the jump.off
the horses refused to make the leap and
swerved to the left. Al that instant the
south end of the bridge shot even with the
tracks and the car famed full against 1t With
crash. It was soon pushed back to place
of safety while the trembling passengers
crowded around the bridge tender and shook
his hands.

STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

The State democratic committee have
been notified that numbers of forged trans.
fer blanks have been issued to negroes
throughout ths State.
A Richmond dispatch to the New York
Herald says: Instead OF gaining votes Gen.
Malone Ia loaing rapidly, and the demo.
Gratis ars giving odds 90 ten, fifteen and
and twenty thousand majority against him.
At Richmond, Saturday. Circuit Judge
Wexford dismissed the application OF repub.
lican counsel to compel the registrars OF
HeDrico county to enter the names OF
al! rejected applicants for registration,
and to replace the names of those stricken
off.
A special from Richmond to the Balti
more Sun says: The democrats feel conf
dent that their whole State ticket will be
elected by f. large majority The most CON
servative estimates place the majority for
Mckinney at from fifteen to twenty thous-
and.
Gen. Malone states to an linden Appeal
reporter that the article ia the New York
World purporting to have been an interview
with Banker Scorell, of London, concerning
himself and the Virginia debt, has not one
word Of truth in it. He declares that he
has never had any negotiations at any time
with any agent of the English creditors.
T. A. Fox, q registrar of Dinvlile, was ar
rested Oh Saturday and taken to Lynchburg
on thu charge Of erasiDg names ofrepublicans
from the registration books. After pre-
lmirary examination, Fox was sent on to
the grand jury. The democrats are highly
indignant, and the whole city is in state
of excitement over the warranted inter-
ference of United States officials with cit
z3ns just on the eve of State election.
E apecial from Richmond 10 the Philadel.
phia Record says; Unless all surface indica'
tons are at fault Virginia will poll next
Tuesday much the largest vote ever cast 10
the State and General Malone will be de
feaed ty u1aj,'ity decisive enough, though
probably not SO large as claimed by the
democrat Pha fight between Malone and
Mckinney is watched with even greater in
terest in the South than in the North, for
it is recognized that the issue ia vital 10
Southern interests. The democratic mana.
gers are not placing much reliance upon the
republican detection from Malone, for it is
believed that most of the kickers will wheel
into line AID cast their ballots for the little
General on election day. Nor are they
counting much on negro dissatisfaction with
Malone because Of his treatment of Lang
8 on but they have their hopes of victory up
on their complete organization and upon
the issue of white or black government
which had beer raised

To the Merchants and Business Men o
Alexandria.

The election for Governor and members
of the Legislature takes place on Tuesday,
Nov. s. An active canvass has been made
throughout the State, and from the last in-
formation obtainable the election of the
democratic candidate for Governor is as
sured.
Malone is now lending all his energies to
secure majority of his adberents in the
General Assembly, and it behooves every
friend of latc, order and good government to
unite and work ndusttiously to defeat
the vaccinations of the boss in that direc'
ton. The ticket for the State officers, Mo
Kinney, Tyler and Scott, ia unexceptional,
and the democratic nominee for the House
of Delegates in this city and county is too
we'll known to require any introduction
to the business community. It Is of vital
Importance to any business man that the
democrats should be in the ascendancy 10
the Legislature and the opposition has made
and is still making an active canvass for
their candidate, and We now urge you, IN
protection of your and our interests, to unite
with US heartily aad actively in securing the
election of Frank Hume to the House of
Delegates; and to this end we urge you to
close your respective places OF business on
the day of election in order that you and
your employees may have an opportunity to
perform such duties as will aid the commit
tee in protecting your interests.
Do this, and we promise you handsome
majority Tor the whole democratic ticket In
