WHY DID THE VOTE FALL OFF,

No election was ever held in Virginia
which ought to have aroused the interest
OF her white people to greater extent
than the recent one should have aroused
Il. Her Governor, Lieutenant-Gover
AttornCy General, and Legislature were
elect two United States senator's. all the
judges Of the Court Of Appeals for
twelve years and all the circuit and cor
poration judges for six years. Surely
If the people ever mad stake in an cleo
ton, the white people Of Virginia had a
prodgious one In the last, for every right
and interest they had in life was liable
to be affected by the result Of ii. When.
therefore. we see that from forty 10 sixty
thousand OF white men who voted IN
the preceding gubernatorial election,
which was only an ordinary one, refused
to come to the polls and vote the case
becomes one absolutely astounding IN
its import, and one which should be
studied and examined until we can find
out with certainty what is the matter,
that the evil may be cured before IT en-
tirely contaminates the whole body poll
tic. 1t will not do 10 say that the per
sonal warfare made upon Colonel O'Fer-
rail- was the cause OF the falling of IN
the vote. That has been fully and unre-
lentingly made on him for the past ff-
teen years in his own congressional dis
trict until all the voters in it have long
known every charge that was made
against him In the recent one. But they
have regularly elected him TO Congress
in each election by the full or very near
ly full Iarty vote. But what was the case
in the recent election? IN his own congress
sional district his vote fell 5311 below
the vote that was cast for Mckinney IN
the election of 1889 We give the vote
in his district in the election Of few
days back and in that Of 1889 for Gov
ernor Mckinney. We use the vote for
Attorney-Gei eral Scott as the oTicial
vote for O'Ferrall has not yet been pub
lished, but as OFerrall ran behind Scott,
the case is all the better for him on
Scott's vote. 1t is as follows:
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1893-11-21
Totals............-~...~...16,5ii

O'Ferrall. therefore. ran behind McI<in-
ney in every county in his district ex-
cept all in numbers ranging from PSI TO
1.022 before voters who have known Of
all the charges made against him for
fifteen years. but who have nevertheless
regularly come to the polls TO vote for
him as a n ember Of Congress at each two
year period of that time 1t will not
do, therefore. 70 say that il was the per-
senal charges made against Colonel
oFerrall that caused so many voters TO
stay at home. There was another and a
deeper cause. That cause was the pro-
found discomfort of the people of Viz
ginia with the method OF politics that
made Colonel OFerran the party's can
didate for governor. 1t is not confined
10 disgust at claims that Colonel O'Fer-
rall held Mr.. Clevelands ear, though that
disgust played a powerful part. There
is a growing belief amongst the
people that the use of money
and patronage in our politics has convert
ed the whole party OF the State into a
vast machine. where principles are no
longer thought OF. but humbuggery Of
the people to secure salaried places for
men is the entire party object.
Our whole party politics must be re-
modelled, and that Iemodellng must
commence with a change in our election
laws that will bring back to the people
confidence in the purity and fairness Of
elections. We reserve what we have to
say upon this point for another article.

THE GAS.

II WIS very far from our purpose to
disparage Mr.. Adams, the Efficient super
intendent Of the Gas Works in what we
said Of the gas day or so back. We
look upon Mr.. Adams as one Of the very
best public servants that the city has and
she would suffer an almost irreparabie
loss, in our opinion. II she should lose
him as superintendent OF gas We ques-
ton, however. whether he has the knowi-
edge OF chemistry that is necessary FOR
the determining with certainty the source
OF the bad odor in the gas. 1t is no dis
paragement to him TO say this. None but
skilled chemists have this knowledge and
they are not very abundant. We intended
to suggest that gentlemen who are skilled
chemists should be asked to investigate
the matter. for II is all-important, before
we begin practising on the patient to
know exactly and accurately what the
