WHEN the Virginia election cases

made co test the oonstitutionality of the
election law of this State, and, accord
ing to a dispatch to the Baltimore Sun,
General Walker, the only Republican
elected to Congress from this State, will
play a prominent part in the contest.
He has been in consultation with ex.
Speaker Reed in Washington this week,
and 1t is believed that he will be as
signed to the committee on elections by
Mr.. Reed. General Walker is an able
man. but, with all due respect to him
and to Congress. 1t would appear that,
while that body cAn decide as to the
eligibility of its members, the only
tribunal which can determine the con

Cleveland's name, there were groans
from some OF the audience.
Senator Hill first touched on the re-
cent defeat Of the Democratic party.
He said that perhaps it was cause by
a departure. from Democratic prece-

accepted the veriict with good nature
AMI realizad that defeat was an Incl

there had been too much Of q DISPOSE

leaders to adopt the ideas OF some
other party. This was always fatal to
