VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS SUPER.
SEEDED.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond Dispatch writes
Recent arrivals here state that the
efforts Of the boiling democrats in the
last few days in Virginia to make con.
verts among the democrats to the de-
coy ticket are attributable to the re-
ceipt of huge campaign fund, donated
by Mark Hanna. This is the backbone
that has caused such squirt among
the boiling democrats, but it is crafty
ing to say that the republican Doodle
campaign carried on by the decoy ticket
spell binders has resulted in dismal
failure. Hanna forgets, as do his local
agents, that the people of Virginia are
not purchasabc. The whole matter in
a nutshell-and it will be we'll for the
Virginia republicans to know it, if they
are not already informed-is that
Hanna's Doodle has been transferred
from them to the boiling leaders. 1t
is stated on pretty good authori.
ty that it was feared the re-
publican campaign fund could not be
trusted in the hands of Virginia repub-
lcans-that it might stick" and
that it might not reach the places or
the people where it would do the most
good On this representation by GER
tain interested persons, the ''astute"
Hanna transferred his Virginia Doodle
fund to the alleged "honest. money"
managers, and they are now disbursing
it in a wild, reckless sort of way, in the
vain hope of buying Virginia for Nc
Kinley, as their chosen master, Hanna,
is doing all over the country.
Hasn't it come to a pretty pass with
the republicans in Virginia, when such
leaders as Colonel Lamb, General Bra
dy, General Edgar Allan, General Jas.
A. Walker, and others, are left out in
the cold, and the Mckinley campaign
in the Old Dominion is taken out Of
their hands, and turned over, wholesale
and retail, to the boiling democrats ?
Let them ponder over this. They are,
no doubt, bordering very seriously just
now, and it must be doleful and dis.
nal ponder.
There is more behind which the bolt
ing democratic Mckinley men are
looking forward to in the sweet By and
by, and which will make the prospect
awfully gloomy for the deserted and
abandoned Virginia republican leaders.
1t is understood that, in the event that
Virginia goes republican, and that Nc.
Kinley is elected-two of the remotest
possibilities-the boilers will not only
fall heir to the federal patronage in the
State, but will also be rewarded by
several fat places, both in this country
and abroad. This is said to be the bar
gain, and it is rumored that certain per-
sons are already being named and Stat
ed for certain good places in the event
of McKinley's election. This will &C.
count to the white people of Virginia
for the zeal recently thrown into the
campaign by the democrats that bolted
their regular party ticket, and are en-
deavoring to saddle upon the southern
people another force bill, social equality
and republican administration.

boat Bancroft is to play an important
part in international politics in the next

a virtually new policy in our transac-
tions with the Turkish government, has
been guarded with characteristic care
by the State Department. No one has
been found who will officially disclose
the plan of the President, and nothing
has been vouchsafed beyond the ad-

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL says he was
too busy to give the free silver ques-
ton serious attention when he was in
Congress, and had to vote on it, though
he had the business of only one district
of his State to look after, but he has
had plenty of time for that purpose
since he has had the business of the
whole State to attend to, though he
has not been called upon to do so, as he
has not had to vote on it. The Gov.
ernor, for his own sake, had better left
his recent letter unwritten.

PAT. MCCAULL's NARROW ESCAPE =
NJ. Pat. McCaull, republican nominee
for Congress in the Eighth District
came very near not getting his name on
the official ballot and doing all his
speech making, handshaking and baby
kissing for nothing. Mr.. McCaull a
few days ago wrote to Captain Asa
Rogers and asked him to notify Secre
tary Lawess that he was running for
Congress. Captain Rogers received the
letter Monday, and soon found out
that the simple notification would not
do. 1t had TO bear the names of The
chairman and secretary of the conven-
ton. Captain Rogers spent several
dollars telegraphing after McCaull and
finally located him. Mr.. McCaull got the
signatures and sent a messenger with
the document to Richmond. He ar
rived yesterday and filed the paper, so
Mr.. McCaull is safe.-Richmond State.

DENoUNCEs ATTEMPTS TO CoERCE.-
At yesterdays session of the 1nterna-
tional Typographical Union at Colora-
do Springs, Colo, the subject of the
labor vote in various parts of the coun-
try was brought up and the following
resolution unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the International
Typographical Union denounces the
efforts being made by certain corpora
tons to coerce or influence their en-
ployes in their votes as defiance of
the most sacred rights of the citizens
as guaranteed to them by the constitu
ton of the United States, and believing
that the permanency of republican in
stitutions depends upon an honest bal
lot, we demand that the laws relating
to intimidation of voters, no matter to
which class, rich or poor. the offender
belongs, be rigidly enforced"

A PLACE FOR BISHOP KEANE.-It
was reported in New York last night
that to day at the residence of Arch
bishop Corrigan, Cardinal Satolli, Bish.
op McQuaid and many other Catho-
lie dignitaries would consider the ques
ton OF dividing the archdiocese of New
York. Archbishop Corrigan, whose
province, all Of New York State and
Newark and Trenton diocese, has long
found mis- work too heavy. Bishop
Fairly acts as his assistant. and should
the diocese of Buffalo be made into az
archdiocese, the diocese of Rochester
and Syracuse would probably be added.
1t is said that the Right Rev. John j.
Keane would be appointed archbishop
to preside over the new archdiocese.

THAT the old bloody shirt is still
supposed to have power enough to in
fiuence votes in the North, is proved by
the fact that the ex-iederal generals who
are now stumping the western part OF

not only telling the ex-federal soldiers
to vote as they shot, but are resorting
to all the means at their disposal to re-
vive the old war feeling in the towns
through which they pass. They are
accompanied by a bugler who sounds
all the camp and battle calls and by a

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL's recent let
ter in respect OF his flop from silver to
gold has naturally started the demo-
Gratis to talking about him, and some
things they say are anything else than
complimentary. They are hunting up
his political record also. and will soon
print it. 10 the House on May 10,
1890. the now Governor made speech,
in which he denounced the trusts, com
bnes, monopolies ard syndicates in
as severe terms as Mr.. Bryan ever ap-
piled to them. A prominent man from
Richmond, and not silver man either,
says there is nothing too bad for the
people there to say about the Govern
or. Well, when men do wrong they
cannot expect to escape censure.
