MARION, VA, Nov. 12.-Special.-Now
that the smoke of battle has lifted the
Democrats of this district are looking
around 10 learn where they ARE al" ana
the reasons for being there, and many
believe ii result OF apathy. Many OF
our important post-ofiices still remain
in the hands Of Republicans, whose terms
have long since expired, and whenever
Mr.. Marshall was urged TO make changes
he replied he had urged the Administra-
tion TO do SO but could not get II TO
act, hence many Democrats became
careless because after working for years
to get the Democrats in power that they
should then allow partisan Republicans
still TO hold the office. and use the power
of the same against us.
Aside from the facts above stated, the
Ninth district is an iron and coal one

either did not vote at all or voted for
General Walker, believing because ne
being an iron owner would not favor
the enactment of any laws detrimental
to that industry. our laboring people,
many OF them, voted the Republican tick
ct because they had lost faith in the
promises made two years ago by the
Democratic party, 10 at once reform the
tariff and relieve the financial depres-
sion Of the country by reason OF the
fact that nearly two years had passed
before any tariff legislation was finally
agreed upon, and yet no relief of the
financial and business depression.
These are the factors that caused the
defeat of Judge Morrison. and may have
entered into the reasons causing the
