1t is treason to that party to listen

But that party must in the near future
take in its horns on the tin question. as

MORLD's FAIR MONIES

Twenty-tour foreign nations have now
officially accepted the invitation to par
ticipate in the Exposition. Russia, Tur-
key, Denmark, Persia and Egypt are
among the recent acquisitions.
The colored people. through the Nat
ional Emancipation Monument Associ-
alton, propose to erect a superb
monument "a feet high, in the EXPOSE
ton grounds, commemorative of the
emancipation of the negro race. The
plans provide for huge stone plinth
surmounted by a negro soldier, and
surrounded at the base by bronze stat
ues of Lincoln, Lovejoy, John Brown.
Garrison, Phillips and two or three
others prominent in the emancipation
movement.
There is possibility that the visitor
to the Exposition may see the celebrated
Splitter art collection, the most compre.
hensive collection of European art in
the world, and valued at above 81, 1000,
600. M. Splitter of Paris is dead, and
the magnificent collection is for sale. 1t
is the hope of artists all over the world
that this treasure may be kept together,
and all are looking to America for the
purchaser. The legal adviser of the
Splitter heirs is anxious that the collec-
ton shall go to America, and he will do
everything possible 10 bring this about.
The bringing of the collection to the
Exposition must be the work of private
enterprise, and it is possible TO effect
this, it is claimed, if the owners can be
insured from loss. This collection in
cludes everything known in art during
the middle ages.

THE refusal Of Judge Clementson to
grant a new trial to Rosa ZOldoske was
what every one familiar with the details
of the trial expected. The argument
for new trial simply brought ont in
stronger light the careful rulings of bis
Honor and the thoroughness of his
charge to the jury. Even council for
the defense had to admit that there was
no conflicting evidence, and that moth
ing had been improperly left out or adj
mitted. The dignified defense of injured
innocence was totally lacking, and the
attack on Juror Green was the last play
in desperate chance TO dodge justice.
THERE is a diversity of opinion
among Democratic papers as to the
issue involved in the Ohio campaign as
outlined by the platform adopted by the
democratic convention. Some claim
the tariff as the issue and that free sill
yer coinage cuts no figure, while others
say free coinage is the issue. This
seems to be due to the opinion of the
respective papers as to which issue the
republican party will be most likely to
dodge. They need not confuse the
people on that point, however, for the
republican party is firmly committed to
both a protective tariff and limited
coinage of silver, and will meet either
one as the Ohio issue in manner to in
defentely retire to private life the dem
ocratic nominee.

PHILADE LpinA, May 2S.-[Speciall-
The books were closed on the Norfolk

Cablegranls from England and the
Continent are to the effect that the last
annual report of the Norfolk and West
ern created strong, favorable feeling
in foreign financial circles, and that the
success of the present loan may, in a
large measure. be attributed to it, This
splendid subscription will certainly be
followed in the near future by u large
and steady stream of money from
abroad in the direction of Southwest
Virginia enterprises.
The news that the Norfolk and West

scribed for by the present shareholders
was received with great pleasure in
Roanoke. 1t seems certainty that
great activity may be looked for all
along the line of the Norfolk and West
ern, particularly at Roanoke, where the
management OF the road is pledged to
expend large sums of money in improve
ments and developments. 1t is fair to
suppose that in building the Union de-
pot, paving streets adjoining its prop
erty, building the belt line and in
throwing large share of the work of
equipment. in the way of building new
cars and locomotives, into the Machine
Shops, the commercial interests of
Roanoke will receive an impetus ex-
tremely beneficial to the whole city.

GRAVES AND WELSH
The Successful Candidates III the Third
Ward.

Ward.
At the Third ward polls there was n
crowd wading through the mud the en-
tire day, or standing with umbrellas
hoisted to keep off the drizzling rain.
There were only two places that afforded
shelter, and those were the porches in
front of Johnson's store and the closed
up liquor saloon, in the rear portion of
which building the polls were held.
small pine board was placed under
the window sash with 4 small square
hole cut in it through which the voter
had to pass his ticket.
hole was in the guttering also. and
a stream of water about the size of 4
mans finger fell straight down in front
OF the window. Whenever n man
wanted to vote he usually got wet. If
he held an umbrella over his head he
spattcred the falling stream over every
body who was looking to see how he
voted. That stream continued all day,
and it was source of much worry; so
much, indeed, that several efforts we're
made to suppress it, but without avail.
All the candidates were in tho field
at an early hour, except Il. II. Wright
who was not paying much attention TO
the result.
In the forenoon Mr.. Scott polled a
heavy and surprising vote. 1t looked
as though no would carry every thing
before him, and Mcssrs Patio and
Graves were not far behind In the
afternoon the furnace vote came in,
headed by Mr.. Sproul. Much comment
was INDUCED i'll as TO how the negroe
were voting. 1t was finally ascertaincd
that they were voting for Pattie and
Welsh and friends of Graves and
Scott began to get uneasy.
There were $50 votes at tho furnace
and it was evident that the candidates
getting them would be elected. But
Welsh's vote was very light in the fore
noon. Graves hold his own, and worked
with Scott. Pattie run ''plumpers" in
on almost every occasion, and controlled
largo majority of the negro vote.
Hawkins and Rule were recofinizcd to
be behind from tho start. and did not
make much Of a fight. Scott had a fine
corps of workers in the field all day.
They did some effective work, and il
soon became reported that no was
ahead. This was general surprise, as
it was expected that he would be de-
feated, or would, if elected, come in sec.
ond best.
Mr.. Graves had his usual workers at
the polls. a tendency existed on the
part OF many to put the old members o,
the Council back, and worked for both
Graves and Scott.
Before the polls closed it became an
parent that Welsh would be one OF the

CoE LEADS IN THE SECOND.
McCahan Defeated, but the Contest Wa.
Close.


At the Second ward the polls were
opened promptly on time, and it was
not long until crowd of voters congre-
gated Being at tho market house
some of the voters killed two birds with
one stone-that is, they voted and pro-
cured beefsteak for breakfast.
The friends of each candidate were
on hand, some to hold tickets, others to
act as runners, and some to buttonhole
the voters.
Mr.. Camp had a splendid corps of in
defatigable workers, who never ceased
during the entire day. He was present
the entire time himself. A head taller
than anybody else, he moved amoug his
constituents like giant on battle
field.
Mr. McCahan was present also. and
worked with his old time energy. He
had several workers who were doing all
in their power to stem the tide, but it
looked like Camp and Coe all the fore
noon. In the afternoon tho McCahan
men rallied and he polled pretty
strong vote on till shutdown.
Mr. Coo was not present himself and
only came to the polls but once, yet he
had several workers in the field who
stood at their posts the entire day, and
spared no pains to see that his claims
were properly presented.
Bill Redd was for Mr.. Coo, and carried
many of the colored voters that way.
1t appeared all day that the voting was
close, but it soon became generally con-
coded that McCahan was defeated. ANY
one was willing to bet on Camp, and ,un-
like his former run for Council, he
gathered strength from every quarter.

solid.
In the evening the market was closed
and the voters were given free access to
tho pavement and public entrance,

No scraps" occurred and the election
passed off quietly in this ward. Some
times Il hard-headed negro would inter

words would follow. Some talk of fight
would cnsue, then the crowd would burst
out in laugh and dispense.
At 10 o'clock several men were sent
for at the Machine Works to work for
McCahan. Two or three came and set
right in. among them being Prof. Keely.
The ballots were nearly all printed
for Coe and Camp, but McCahan and
Coo were on many of the tickets
Messrs. NlcCahan and Camp had
