THE STATE rICKEr.

The latest estimates put Judge Lucas
majority At about 7,OOO-an cold time"
Democratic majority.
We belive there was some talk among
Republicans about West Virginia surely
going Republican this year. 1t was fig
ured out to the entire satisfaction Of Our
Republican friends that according 10
the ratio of decrease ia the Democratic
majority West Virginia was surely Re
publican-and it did look that way.
But figures are deceitful things some
times.
Our Republican friends claimed that
West Virginia wanted the Republican
brand of protection, and that she was
practically Republican State. Well,
We have had practical experience Of the
Republican brand of protection in the
Mckinley tarif-a measure that en-
bodies the Republican tariff platform Of
1SSS-aud West Virginia votes II down
by between 1000 and 1900 majority ON
the Congressional and State tickets
an average Democratic gain taken
all around Of about 1000 per cent.
Judge Lucas, though the predictions
were that he would De slaughtered at
the polls, made a magnificent run, and
the total Of his majority shows that the
grand Little Mountain State, despite
fraud and imported voters, is as safely
Democratic aS ever.
West Virginia IS not quite ready 20
break loose from the Solid South.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Federal Election Law Will Pro.
badly Pass the Senate.
Especial to State Chronicle. J

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-Sen-
ator German has, by general consent,
been put in charge Of Democratic inter
ests in the fight which it is now evident
will soon be engaged in upon the floor
of the Senate. 1t will be consolation
to Democrats throughout the country to
know that under his skilfnl leadership
everything will be done which is possible
to be done to prevent the consummation
OF the Republican threat of hrottling
the minority in the Senate, az Speaker
Reed has already so effectualy uore in
the House.
The Republican Senators who have
been opposed to the new Force bill, h.
erwlse known as tho Federal Election
bill, ARE slowly yielding to pressure which
has been brought to bear upon them.
Even Senator Evarts it is said has, un-
der compulsion, promised the new Re-
publican boss Representative Belden-
that he would vote for the bill. 1t now
looks as though the bill would become a
law. It is regarded by the Republicans
as last desperate chance to gain enough
Congressman in the South to offset the
losses which they are certain to have in
other sections. In fact Mr.. Belden
openly uses this as an argument to con-
vert Republican opponents Of the meas
ure.
Many Of the moro decent Republicans
are dlsgusted with Mr. Beljen's attempt
to manufacture sentiment in favor of
the Force bill, BY sending that remarka-
bic appeal to the Republican editors to
come to the rescue of the G. 0. P.

gathered together this morning to at
tend the business meeting Alfred
Peace, o! CT. siertCwn, was made tenn
porary president. After the credentials
OF the various organizations We're found
correct, letter from eX President
Cleveland was read in which he said :
Il am sorry that | have made such
plans aud engagements that 1t Is impOs-
siblc for me to accept your invitation.
In common with all who are interested
in the movement, | am exceedingly graf
flied with the evidence constantly pre-
sonted Of activity and organization in
and hope that the proposed conven-
tion will be full of encouragement to
to the friends Of the cause"
The sentiments of the letter met with
hearty approval.
john Dewitt Warner, of New York,
will deliver an address upon Methods
OF Tariff Reform Work and Organiza-
tion" this afternoon. The great public
demonstration will be held this evening,
at which number of Senators, Con

Greensboro PatriOtl

d. NJ Thornburg, South Greensboro
carpenter, created something of sensa-
ton Saturday night by pretended at
tempt to commit suicide and determin-
ed attempt to commit murder.
Thornburg left home angry with his
wife Saturday evening and wrote her
note telling her that he was going to
commit suicide and that she would find
bis body at midnight behind Hodgin's
store. His wife, frightened nearly ont
Of her senses, began to look for him aud
notified Chief of Police Rees Of her hus-
bands threats Mr.. Rees found Thorn
burg in rear Of Hodgin's store with
nearly empty bottle of sulphate Of NOR
phia in his hand. He informed Mr..
Rees that he had taken the drug and i'm
mediately tumbled over as if dead.
Assisted by Frank Hodgn, Mr. Rees
attempted to pick the apparently dead
