testimony to that of nearly all the other
we'll known Virginia republicans, in respect
of the cause of Gen. Mahone's recent over
whelmiDg defeat. He, like all the others
referred to, thinks the real causes were the
cutting the General received from his own

open revolt, and the cold and unanimous
opposition of the democrats. Gen. GroneF

Among the new members of the House at

the 9th, or Southwest district, of Virginia.
Mr.. Buchanan Gays there was no fraud at

tration at Pocahontas, by which some Ne
groes who had voted 10 West Virginia on
the 9th of November, 1888. were prevented
from voting on the 9th of November, 1889,
but that was right and proper, as the law
provides that man must have lived In The
State one year before be can vote.
The indications still point to the election
of MIR. Reed to the speakership OF the next
House. Wall street has declared for Mr.
Reed, and no matter how some of the west
