FINAL Figures from the Third Dis
tric,-Col farewell EIletf.

The democrats are well satisfied with
tho result of the election In Nirginia-se-
curing nine out OF ten congressman.
The great disappointment at the cleo
ton of James A. Walker 'hep), IN tne
Ninth district. over Judge Morrison, Is
palliated. II not Offset, by the election or
Democrats in what was CONSIDERED douDt-
ful districts. The victory OF the sallaht
Otey. in the Sixth, Is an especIal cause
for Generalization, as that district was up
10 the day Of election cohsinereu the
weakest link in the chain.
His election by such fne majority was
indeed a pleasing feature, when MS most
sa1guine friends had given him only
Senafor Daniel. who Is Major Oteys
personal friend. threw himself neart ana
soul into the canvass of the SKIN as
trict. and his influence was great FACTOR
in the result. In the last few days OF
the canvass the impression grew IN iorce
that a vote for Rucker. the Popuhst can
didate. was a vote for Hoge, and Otey
became the beneficiary.
KLLETT or THE THIRD.
Col. Tazewell Elicit made magnificent
canvass and wins by about seven thou
sand majority over Southwark, the Re-
publican candidate.

received the hand shakings and con-
gratulaHons OF many warm personal
friends. lie is. OF course. in fine spirits
and naturally feels much compimented
at his splendid plurality, which is the
largest ever received by a Democrat in
the Third district on an "off year
Col Elicit received large number or
kilograms Of congratulation from per
sons In and out of the State. and for
hours was kept very busy In paying the
penalties in the way OF cOurtesies that
follows political success.
Col Elletts success Is due to hard per-
sonal work and close organization by
the party leaders.
CHAIRMAN ELLYsON.
State Chairman Elyson yesterday after
noon received kilograms which satisfied
him of the election of Mckinney and
Tucker, without a doubt
Mr. Ellyson made few predictions dur
ing the canvass and worked for close or
