Correspondence Alexandria Gazette
LURAY, Va, Oct. 24.-NIicajah Woods,
esq, aud Col. ]. C. Gibson addressed Il
large democratic audience here to-day
il front of the Hotel Laurence, the
Courthouse being occupied by The peo-
pies party in listening to their congress
sional candidate, Mr. Lewis, of Clarke.
Both speakers made excellent and in
teresiing speeches. discussing the issues
in fair and straightforward manner
and the large crowd remained unbroken
20 the close.
Gen. Fields is adding no strength to
his ticket in this part of the State, and
from all accounts will get but one vote
in Culpcpcr and that one a brother, and
not more than a dozen in Albcmarle
This party has made some converts in
Page, but its strength will be unimport
ant as to numbers and its effect will be
to give the county to Cleveland.
Col. Gibson in speaking of the tour of
Weaver, Fields and Lease through the
South, denominated the trio as the ''un
holy trinity" and their campaign there
as one to break the solid South by mere
force of numbers and had this unholy
and homogeneous three stayed there
while longer, instead of reducing would
have increased the vote of the solid
South.
A handsome Cleveland and Steven
son banner, with their portraits painted
on it, was raised here to-day and was
much admired 1t is nicely executed
piece of work and hangs across the
main street on the hill.
The present outlook is gratifying and
encouraging to the democratic party
here, and the belief is strong with them
that we will have return of the good
old days of democratic rule for four
years at least.
Mr.. Broyles was bailcd in the sum Of
$4,000 by Judge Turner, of the Circuit
Court, a few days since, by virtue Ola
writ of habeas corpus issued by him.
The ground of the application was the
danger to health in Mr.. Broyles's con-
dition by remaining in JAIL the physi-
clans testifying that he was suffering
with disease of the lungs and could not
stand longer confinement b.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 26.-It is annunc-
ed that there is 10 foundation for the
rumors that the democratic organiza-

the leaders are hopeful of carrying Ne

it would under the circumstances be
sheer folly to support the Weaver elect

A SCANDAL AND A TRAGEDY.-Dr.
II. Jones, physician at Dallas, Texas,
Yesterday shot and killed w. G. Vial
at ex-Confederate headquarters. Yes
terday was Confederate Day at the
Texas fair. A great crowd, including
Generals Reagan, Ross, Harriet and
Mrs. Hayes, daughter of Jefferson
Davis, were present. Captain Vial was
in the room of the Confederate head
quarters writing at a table, when DR..
Jones appeared, and, without word of
warning, shot Vial in the right temple,
killing him instantly. Walls head fell
over on the table, and he presented
sad sight to his fellow x-Confederates.
Jones was arrested and placed in Jail.
Two years ago Vial was Methodist
preacher at Waxahutchie, and was af-
forwards expelled from the church and
ministry and also from the masonic or
der for adultery. and efforts to seduce
a young lady whom he had baptized.
Since then he has been in real estate
and railroad booming at Fort Worth
and Dallas. Jones is an Albanian.
1t is reported that Jones charged Vial
with ravishing his wife some time ago.

CONGRESSMAN OuTHwAIT OF ONO,
when in Washington yesterday, SAID
that while he was not betting that his
State will 90 for Cleveland, he would
not be at all surprised lift did go that
way, for the trend of popular feeling
seemed to be in that direction in all
parts of the country. That the surface
indications sustain Mr. outhwait there
is no doubt; but still the equanimity
maintained by the New York republic
cans, and the confidence with which
their leaders speak Of the result and of
the inability of their party to afford de-
feat, naturally suggest the idea that all
may not be as well as it seems, and
should stimulate the democrats to great

1t is whether government clerks en-
ployed in Washington can vote IN the

large number of clerks have presented
themselves at the polls for registration,
Some were refused and those accepted
were told their names would be follow
ed on the books with Il mark indicat-
ing that they were not qualified voters.
The district attorney thought, on first
consideration, that the Washington en-
ployees had right to vote somewhere,
but he could not construc any federal
statute to interfere with State laws.
His advice was that registry clerks
should accept the names and then
strike them oil as they would III case
