Especial 1.-The election IL over and nobody
Is happy except the Republicans. Their
faces are wreaths OF smiles and pictures
of unalloyed happiness. We who are
yards and yards deep under the snowy
flakes endcavor TO console ourselves with
the thought that there Is hereafter"
However this may ell be, no one can find
any serious fault with the Walton cleo
tion-law. 1t has worked finely in this
county. and your correspondent has
heard Democrats az well as Republicans
express themselves as greatly pleased with

that old Virginia, in the midst OF the sor-
row and fan of her sister States, has re-
NAMED solidly in the Democratic column,
now, as always, true TO her principles.
This election, taken in connection with
that Of 1892 shows plainly one fact, and
one that is TO be much regretted. the utter
lack OF stability IN the American citizen
In political matters.
