The convict labor furnished by the
State of Tennessee to mine owners
has resulted in Il conflict between
State authority and lawless power,
to the great injury of the State. The
miners objected to being brought in
to competition with such labor, and
On Saturday and since. at Briceville
and in other parts of the State, at
lacking the stockades, in which the
ccnvicts were confined, turned loose
scre five hundred or more of them
to prey upon the State-to commit
murders and robberies it may be
Ihe lawlessress of the miners OF
course is to be condemned, but the
legislature pas sing the law, which
made it possible to supplant honest
labor by such methods and the Legis
)aturc especially convened to repea
it, but which failed to do so, deserve
greater condemnation.

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, VA, November L.
Later returns from the election in
Virginia confirm the claim that the
Democrats have swept all sections of
the State. In the Senate the Demo.
Gratis with the old-over Senators have
IS and may have 80 of the forty mem
bers of that body. In the House the
Democrats are almost certain to have
over s. of the 100 members.
These figures are conservative. For
the first time since their enfranchise-
ment the negroes will not have rep
resentatives in either branch of the
Virginia Legislature. The Republi
cans made no showing in Yesterdays
election. The Alliance and Indepen-
dents were the chief opponents OF
the Democrats, and neither OF these
cut much Of q figure.

The Republicans Garry PENNSYLVANIA

The following extracts, from our ex-
changes, show the result of the cleo
tions in the principal States on last
Tuesday, and very gratifying one
to the Democratic party. Losing
Pennsylvania and Ohio, means about
the same, as saying, the Dutch have
taken Holland, but victory in Massa-
chusetts and Iowa, former Republi-
can strongholds, and an increased
majority in New York, means, that if
they can be kept into line, grand
Democratic victory in the next Pres
idential contest:

The result of the election, on Tues

success of the Democratic party in
the next Presidential contest and de-
cided one question beyond all doubt
under whose leadership the Demo-
cratic party will make the fight
Heretofore, anticipating success liz
Ohio, Governor Campbell has been
regarded by many, perhaps, as the
coming man-otherS have been equal
ly enthusiastic in presenting the
claims of the distinguished Governor
of Pennsylvania-but they together
with Others. formidable candidates
of yesterday, henceforth, in view of
the splendid victory of the State Of
New York, Won in a great measure
by u distinguished citizen of that
State, will hardly be considered. 1t
is perhaps not too much to say, the
victory was that of Grover Cleveland
as it was won on the national issues,
with which he has identified himself.
With New York in the Democratic
column placed there by Cleveland
and likely to remain there through
his efforts and influence to whom
else can the Democratic party turn
with greater prospect of success?
No one else has such O hold upon the
popular heart in that State, as was
testified to by the enthusiasm with
which lie was received everywhere
he appeared during the late cam
aisn-and the same is equally true

pivotal State and supported by the
masses everywhere-only the politi-
clans of his party oppose him and
the current in his favor is too strong
Tor them soon not TO drift along with
it.
