A GRAND RALLY!
Democracy's Able Advocates.

Democracy's Able Advocates.
Last Thursday night the Opera House
contained large audience, eager to hear
the distinguished gentlemen, General
Fitzhugh Lee and Hon. Fl. st. Geo.
Tucker. the latter the able Congressman
from this District. The speakers arrived
here about $50 on the limited G. " y.

yeyances and driven directly to the
Opera House. Mr. G. F. Moore acted as
Chairman, and introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Tucker led off In a vigorous speech,
discussing briefly tle issues OF the pres
ent campaign and ineidently referred to
| the important work accomplished by
the recent session of Congress. The
audience manifested its appreciation OF
his remarks by frequent applause. Gen.
| Lee followed, giving an interesting &C
count of the economical manner inwhich
the Democrats had managed the State
government, and urged voters not to
desert their friends when they were in
possession of the promised land.
A number of ladies were present, and
General Lee paid them high compli-
ment declaring that he always enter
tanned the opinion that ladies, as rule.
were wiser politicians than the men. 1t
was very successful meeting and those
in attendance were highly Entertained.
After the meeting was over, number
of Democrats called at the Hotel Clifton
and paid their respects to these popular
Democratic champions. Hurrah for Lee
and Tucker They are men of whom
any State might well be proud.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Proclaiming the Thirtieth as Thanks
giving Day.

WAsHINGToN.D.C Noy. 4.-Although
there may have been no connection be-
tween the two acts, it is remarked as
somewhat significant that the Presi-
dents proclamation of Thanksgiving
followed fast upon the adjournment of
the extra session of Congress. The text
of the proclamation is as follows:
"While the American people every
day remember with praise and thanks
giving the Divine goodness and mercy
which have followed them since their
beginning as nation, it is fitting that
one day in each year should be especi>
ally devoted to the contemplation of the
blessings we have received from the
hand of God, and to the greatful ac-
acknowledgement of His loving kindness.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
3Oth day of the present month of Novem-
Der, as a day of thanksgiving and praise
| to be kept and observed by all the peo-
| pie of our land. On that day let us fore>
go our ordinary work and employments,
and assemble in our usual places of
worship, where we may recall all that
God has done for us, and where from
| grateful hearts our united tribute of
praise and songs may reach the throne
Of grace. Let the reunion of kindred
and the social meeting of friends lend
cheer and enjoyment to the day, and let
generous gifts Of charity for the relief of
the poor needy and prove the sim

Bartholomew 5 Equine Paradox.

Bartholomew Equine Paradox.
An event Of more than ordinary inter
est will occur at the Opera House Tues
day November 14th when; the attractive
and interesting performance. of Prof
Barthoiomew's Equine Paradox will
take place.
The Boston Globe says While the
universal sympathy between man and
the horse is recognized by everybody, it
no doubt is true that the feeling is inten-
sifed with regard to the trained horse
The great difference, however, between
Prof. Bartholomew animals and the
average trained equine changes in the
sentiment to one, which one dare not
reduce to proper terms for fear of being
charged with dealing in superlatives.
They have not been seen here in some
time, and their exhibition was therefore
| enjoyed all the more keenlv. In the
main, the performance has not changed
aud the audiences who have remembered
| the horses and talked about the won>
! derfnl things they do, would not be sat~
! isfied to have them changed. The school
room scene, the playground antics,
the courtroom trial, the military drill
and sham battle, the principal features.

THE VOICE OF THE BALLOT.

Elections were held it thirteen States
Yesterday, namely, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York, Ohio, Virginia.
Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Wisconsin. Nebraska
and South Dakota, and from latest ad
vices the Republicans have carried nine
of them by large maioritles. Kentucky,
Missouri, Maryland and Virginia still re-
tain their place in the Democratic col
umn, but there has been wonderful
change in the Western States since the
Presidential election just one year ago.
The change is attributed to the business
depression, caused by vassiilating policy
of the U. S. Senate After all, it is
consoling fact that the people still have
the power to decide who shall hold thu
reigns of government.

THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTER.
.
Wholesale Merchants Expect Bet
ter Times Now That the Bill
Has Passed.

There is better ana more encourag-
ing feeling now existing among the whole
sale merchants of Richmond in regard to
their fall trade.
A number of the leading wholesale
houses were visited yesterday. and
ithe consensus of their opinion is
about as follows:
July and August were exceptionally
dull and discouraging months, but with
September and October matters took a
more favorable turn. Collections that
had almost entirely ceased from the in-
interior districts began to come in slow
ly, and conservative orders for goods
were received. Notes long past due,
having been renewed by the Richmond
merchants, were curtailed, and as the
weeks passed merchants in small cities
and towns OF Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, West Virginia, Tennes-
see and Georgia began to show decided
disposition to settle old accounts and
lay in new stocks. With all the tinan-
cial scare driving money out of circus
latlon, rendering the small banks pow
erIess to aid the farmers and small mer-
chants, had it's effect and to-day, though
the outlook is better and there is every
promise Of steady improvement, yet
the effects of the financial Lanic can be
felt on all sides,
The condition, however, is better,
much better, and there are now scenes
of activity where few weeks ago were
anxiety and hopelessness to considera-
BILE degree. The country is in good
condition, crops haye geen good, and
Just as soon as confidence is restored,
money taken from safety vaults, and
the farmers can receive just return for
their products, then will have arrived
the time when the South will again be
in the lead upon the high road of pros
perity.
Throughout the entire trouble the
Richmond merchants and bankers have
been conservative and prudent. They
have weathered the storm admirably
and now all of the m have strong hopes
| for. better times.

To the Editor of The State:

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 6, 1898.
TO the Editor of The State:
see by the daily papers that there is
q movement on foot to install the Vir-
ginia exhibits in Chicago as perma-
nent exhibit in our exposition here, and
Iwrite to request you to use yourinfu nee
to prevent such a thing being done.
The majority of our counties would
hesitate before sending such an exhibit
to our State fairs. and by no stretch of
the Imagination could it be considered
as representative exposition of our
resources, and I, with other visitors to
the Fair do not wish to tell the world,
by installing it here, that we consider it
fair representation of our States re-
sources.
The Mount Vernon building was all
right if we had had an exhibition of our
resources of forest, field and mine, but
the sooner the old State concludes that
the relics of dead ancestors do not at
tract capital and immigration, and that
only our material resources do. the
sooner she will take her position as a
progressive, go-ahead State.
am not belittling the memory of the
fathers of our country, but they were
progressive men, and wonld not have
exhibited relics at place In which the
! whole world was vieing to show the
material wealth that God had given
them.
Virginia has lost grand opportunity
and her exhibit in Chicago placed here
would only add lasting memory to {
wrong perpretated on it.

A LOVER OLE VIRGINIA.

The people of Chicago would have
been entitled to no less honor for the
glorious achievement of the Worlds
Fair if it had proved the financial fail
ure that was at one time feared. 1t is
the country at large that would have
been disgraced by that. But it must be
gratifying alike to Chicago and to the
country to know that the popular rec
ognition, though little tardy, was ade-
quate, and that the enterprise had paid
all expenses, with small balance to be
returned to the shareholders. The Cen
tennial did as we'll, but both the expenses
and the income were on on smaller
scale and Chicago had gift from Con-
gress instead of the loan that Philadel-
phia had to return. But those who
worked hardest at Philadelphia are the
most ready to applaud the splendid re-
suits at Chicago. There were more than
twenty-one millions of paid admissions
during the six months of the Fair, with
out counting six millions of admission
passes, and the receipts from various
sources. added to the capital stock of
$40 900, 900 will aggregate over $2S,00O,-
600, the actual cost of the exhibition
being about $25, 100000. These are huge
figures, but they show what a big coun-
try this is and what Americans can dc
when they try. They show, too, what a
widespread influence this great Worlds
Fair must have.

Masonic Hall on Saturday night last, to
an appreciative audience. Mr.. Gravely
is very earnest and impressive speaker,
and while there were many of his hear

cause he advocated, they could not but
admit that he had made an able defense
of his party. Mr.. j. G. King acted as
