Atlanta, Ga. oct. s-From combined
official and unofficial sources the total
majority is fixed at 36,129. This esti-
mate is based upon the vote for Atzin-

cases less than that cast for other state
officials. 1t is not believed the Novem-
Der elections will materially change
the situation. The almost unanimous

A GREAT OVERSIGHT.
Mr.. r.. G. vennble and the Peters
burg Election Recalled.

The Richmond Times. in publishing the
list of names OF the election officers OF
the city OF Petersburg at the Mckinney
Thorp election. was guilty OF very de-
cided oversight. 1t neglected to state
that the chairman Of the Fourth DISTRICT
Democratic Committee during the cam
paign referred to was no less a parsonage
than the Hon. K. c. Venabe. at present
one Of the high priests OF that parentless
crew called sound-money Democrats.
Whatever unfairness may have crept In
at said election was done under the su-
pervision OF Mr.. Venable and received his
sanction. The Times charges that gross
fraud was perpetrated in the Second Ware
OF said city; but it forgot TO say that Mr.
Venable. the then district chairman. re-
sides and votes in that ward, and II he
has ever objected 10 the results. as pro-
mulgatcd by the election officers, his OBJ
jections have failed to reach our ears.
This same Mr.. Venable was elected 10
Congress several years ago under law
which the Times claims was infinitely
worse than our present electoral system
When unseated by Congress his lamen-
tations could be heard far and near. and
he claimed with unwon.ed vlgor that
Justice had been outraged. This same
Mr.. Venable IS now clamoring for n fair
count Can IL be that he admits that ne
was elected 70 Congress by fraud. ard
that he acted as chairman Of ais district
at an election which was won by invad-
ing the sanctity of the ballot-ooX? For
any information regarding the clect'ono
held I'm the Fourth District We respect
fully refer the Times TO Mr. Vcnable,
than whom there is no higher authority.
This year Mr.. Venable appears IN a
new character. The editor OF the Times
is essaying the role Of a political Martin
Luther. and has secured Mr. Venable as
his leading man. This Is a spectacle
that will, no doubt, make angels weep.
but at which those who know the gen
tleman mentioned will be constrained TO
laugh. ONE WHO KNOWS.

Tho Cnmpaign at n Glance.

CNew York World OF Yesterday
Beneath the noise and smoke of the
campaign the quiet. steady progress OF
fusion recorded from time TO time in a
para graph hidden among columns OF po-
ltical speeches has attracted little at
tention. Yet IL now presents very DIFF
ferent aspect from that Of a few weeks
ago. Then Republican hope was high
on account OF Democratic and Populist
discussions. Now that hope has dwindled
to few faint and fading glimmers
from a few States that are normally
Democratic by large majorities.
Fusion has to a reasonable certainty
added Alabama. Kansas. Nebraska. North
Carolina. and Tennessee-hfty-two cleo
toral votes-to the forty-siX electoral
votes OF Arkansas, Colorado. Idaho. Mis-
sissippi. Montana, South Carolina, Utah,
Washington. and Wyoming that were al
ready assumed TO be reasonably safe for
silver. II has presumably given 6000
Populist votes in Illinois. 5000 in Indiana,
1900 in Iowa, 2O.O00 in Kentucky. 1900
in Missouri. and 5000 In Minnesota
towards making good the losses from the
detection OF sound-money Democrats and
towards swelling the accessions Of free
silver Republicans. While ii has not yet
been consummated in Georgia and Texas,
those States are anything but certain for
honest money. In brief. fusion has made
it necessary that there shall be enormous
Democratic OBJECTIONS from the free-sil-
yer ticket II Mckinley is to have even
respectable majority Of the electoral
votes For. even II he gets every State
east of the Mississippi and north OF the
ohio and the Potomac. which includes
Delaware and Maryland. and gets West
Virginia also. he still needs two votes
10 make the necessary majority.
This is the campaign at a glance-the
peril of free silyers success, the peril of
free silver's bare defeat.

THE STORM.

We saw man yesterday who said he
was looking for the weather-prophets
who had told everybody that Virginia was
without the area OF cyclones and would
never suffer from one. Whilst the irate
person is hunting up better weather
prophets let Us be more reasonable, and
hear what Weather FoTecaster Evans has
TO say on the subject. We quote Mr.
Evans as reported by Dispatch man:
This storm had been forming down
near the equator for several days. and
when It reached Richmond 1t was what
we call a regular West India cyclone. 1t
was not in the nature OF a tornado. as
the area of the storm was too great-it
was probably 1000 square miles in extent.
| am under the impression that we in this
section got the full force OF 1t. and that
Norfolk was probably about the centre.
because OF the great blow here and the
light winds at Norfolk The other end Of
the storm was probably couple of hun
dred miles at sea-"
Perhaps the vast quantities of electrici-
ty which are being made all over the
world may have something TO do with the
changed conditions which many persons
think the atmosphere has undergone At
any rate. there Is good reason for appre-
bending that old Virginia can no longer
wrap herself in her dignity and fear no
danger from the Storm King.

President Harrison had been on a duck

alleged that he ,had killed a hog, sup
posing from its nimbe-footedness that IL
was a deer. The newspapers of the
country printed the story in good faith,
not suspecting that any Mark Twain Of
a rural correspondent resided i'm Surry
county; but the Hon. Benjamin. being
man without humor himself, and totally
unable to see a joke whereof he was the
victim, would make no allowances for
the inaccuracies in the porcine incident,
as printed. and instead OF stopping in
Richmond, as he was scheduled to do, he
snuboed the committeeman who went
down the river to meet him, and scooted
from the wharf to the railway station, in
utter contempt of the dinner that was
waiting for him.
And it IS waiting to this day. so far
as the printed records which we have

In an article urging Mckinley to speak
out against the trust evil" in order TO
capture the "hesitating' voters, who are
thinking about "the insolent aggressions
Of the law-defying. law-perverting. cor
rupt trusts and monopoles," the New
York World says:
Suppose Mr. Mckinley gets only enough
States 10 just elect him. and those States
all In one section OF the country, what
viii be the net result of the election?
The silver heresy will have carried ten
or a dozen more States than did Mr.. Har-
rison in 1892. 1t will continue it's alb
solute control Of the Senate. IL will con-
troll the machine of a national political
party. 1t will be intrenched as never
before. 1t will organize Immediately for
the congressional election two years
hence. and for the presidency two years
after that"
The World. we think, IS asking RATHER
too much OF Mckinley. when 1t asks him
10 turn upon his best friends-the trusts
and monopolies. But our New York con-
temporary forecasts pretty accurately
what will be the situation should McKin-
ley be elected. whether he speaks cut
against the trust evil or not. And that
situation will mean four years more OF
financial agitation which Is a fact well
worthy Of the consideration OF the
moneyed interest that Is so bitterly fight
ing Bryan.

The Mexican dollar can be bought ,or
less than 53 cents. Mexico has free coin
age Of both gold and silver. but gold
has long $50 disappeared from circula-
ton, and is now bought as a commodity.
and the Mexican silver dollar has fallen
to its bullion value OF a little more than
so cents.-Richmond Times.
The Mexican dollar i'm Mexico is worth
100 cents, just what the American dollar
is IN the United States. Both dollars
get their value from the fact that in
their own countries they are legal tender
for debts, and receivable for all dues to
the government. The bullion In either
Is worth about 65 cents. or thereabouts
If the United States were to open its
mints 10 silver again, the bullion required
to make one dollar would be worth
100 cents. In this opinion we have the
support, of Major William Mckinley. Jr..
who has the assistance OF the Times's
efforts in his candidacy for the presi-
dency. and who should have weight with
IL. In a letter written September II. 1880
when he was chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee of the House. TO Mr..
L. S. Perkins. a member Of the Ohio

free and unlimited coinage OF the silver
