English Views or American Journalism.
Quite recently, writes London gossip

enterprising editors and news agencies

views of the general election happen

Lord Randolph Churchill have been al-

Republicans Uneasy About Illinois.

A dispatch from New York SAYS:
The political situation in Illinois is
giving the Republican managers con
siderable uneasiness just now, and
there is considerable doubt in their
minds about their ability to pull the
State through for the Republicans
on both the National and State tick
cts. A prominent Illinois Republi-
can, now in Washington, talked very
despondently to-day. He did not
consider anything safe for the Re
publicans but the electoral ticket.
He thought Harrison and Reid would
get the electoral vote of the State by
small majority. He was not conf
dent about the State ticket, and rs
for the Legislature he did not think
there was any hope of the lepnbli
cans having a clear majority over the
combined vote of the Democrats and
the few third party men who would
doubtless get in. Ex-senator Far
well, who has recently emphasized
his disapprobation of the nomination
of Mr.. Harrison by refusing to pre-
side at ratification meeting in Chi
cago, in a letter to friend here is
reported to have declared the Demo
cratic National ticket would carry
the State. Judge Gresham has a
strong personal following in Illinois
and his opposition to the Republican
ticket will probably influence good
many more votes than the party
managers are willing to admit. If
his friends do not follow him into
voting for Cleveland and Stevenson,
they are at least liable to remain
away from the polls and take no
interest whatever in the success Of
the Republican candidates:

democratic ranks. In letter to the
democratic State Committee Of that
State, Offering his services to the
party on the stump, he puts in some
telling licks against the 6. o. D., a
sample of which is given in the e1-
tract below:

clnsion that the Republican party is

Theoretically Infamous.

The editor of the Philadelphia

pointed by Mr.. Harrison. and re

about the story in regard to the wife
of Mr. Cleveland refusing to meet
Miss Winnie Davis. daughter of the
Hon. Jefferson Davis, q Washington
correspondent, wrote to ex Governor
FitZhugh Lee about it and received
the following answer:
.'GLAsGow, VA, October 3.-Dear
Sir: | was surprised to learn from
Your communication of the Goth of
September that the Third party was
distributing circular letter IN Tex
as containing 81 statement That Mrs.
Cleveland had refused to meet Miss
Winnie Davis at reception at the
Governors house in Richmond when
Mr. Cleveland was President and |
was chief executive of Virginia, and
the subject had assumed Importance
because votes were being diverted
from the national Democratic ticket.

I gave the uiject no further consid-

citizens were deprived of the oppor-
tunity to welcome a lady who had
ever discharged the duties OF her
high and trying position with "a tact
that surpassed the tact of her SEX

eoualed by the moderate estimate Of
her own worth and Importance.
las a matter of fact. the President

house. On the way from the fair
grounds to the station he especially
requested to be introduced to Mis-
Davis, who had been Mrs. Lees guest
for several weeks previous, and

in the South. / have read with great
pleasure Mr.. Cleveland's letter of ac-
ceptance. / am in full accord with

Virginia Alliances Oppose the Third

The Third party movement in Vir-

The Alliance of Opequon, in this

stating that the officers of the State
Alliance were improperly using the

The appointments OF Hon. VIM. A.
Jones on the Eastern Shore, tins
week. were filled according to an
nonncement in n manner entirely
satisfactory TO the people and
with results, we presume, Very graft
flying to him. HIS speeches at every
point were enthusiastically received
and assurances given, which could
leave no doubt in his mind, OF the
loyal and almost undivided support
of the Democrats of the. Eastern
Shore. Indeed, it is no exaggeration,
to state that the people were never
so united in the support of any can
d;date and we confidently assert
Without fear of successful contra
dition. that the votes which his OPP
porent will receive of Democrats, for
personal reasons, because of Third
party pnclivities or for any other
cause will hardly be in excess OF
bakers dozen. On the other hand,
the Republicans are not in love with
Captain Browne or his record and
while for the most part, they may
very grudgingly give him their sup
port. there are scores of them who will
either vote for his opponent or de-
cline to vote for the Congressional
candidates. The Democrats in fact
are practically so unanimous in their
support of Mr.. Jones, and the Repub-
LEANS so much divided in their sup
port of Mr.. Browne, that it looks as
if a majority unprecedented in any
political contest on the Eastern Shore
would be given to our candidate.
Democrats to the polls, is the only
injunction needed-and the Demo
Gratis of the Eastern Shore, when
duty demands it, usually get there.
Mr. Marquis Jones, of Gloucester,
was present at the meetings held at
Belle Haven and Cape Charles, and
delivered able and effective speeches
in the interest OF Democracy. He
predicted a grand victory not only
for our Congressional candidate but
all along the line this Fall.
