orn nEGIsTRATioS.

The figures published showing the to'h'
registration at the recent general rcs's
tration I'm Richmond disclosed tho iac'
that several thousand city voters nave
not yet qualified themselves 10 vote OF
November 3D. This seeming lack Oh iu-
terest. we take II, Is really duo 10 'he
knowledge on the part OF the average
voter that he can go 10 the registrar al
any time between now and october Eitn
and be registered. Until the 9th the
voter must seek the registrar at the lat
ter's home or place OF business; but on
the 2ith the registrar must ST at tne
usual place Of registration and then ana
there revise and add to the list Of voters.
The present footing up Of the twenty
I'VE sets OF books gives US total 81 ls'eiS
the whites ou,numbcring the blacks about
two 20 one; hut TO this aggregate many
names viii doubtless be added by night
fall OF the oath.
While IT f. doubtless true mat many
who are entitled TO register DID not aVah
themselves OF that privilege last week.
II Is. we believe, equally true that there
are not a few names on the new books
that ought not 20 be there; names Of ne
cioes. who are DISTINGUISHED for crime
and others OF them who are not bona-nde
citizens of Richmond.
However. all such men will vote at
great risk And il. we have as chal-
lengers in Jackson Ward on November
Sd gentlemen as fearless and untiring
and as well posted in the law as those
who have often heretofore served us in
that capacity. few OF the DISTINGUISHED
will vote without imminent peril OF the
penitentiary. We would suggest TO our
City Committee and ward clubs to look
over the lists Of those VINO have served
us in the past as challengers in Jackson
Ward and invite the same persons TO act
again. They ought to be mustered on NO
vember Sd, and marched out TO Jackson
Ward in q body And. for the conven-
fence OF a number OF them who now
adays are often to be found in that neigh
borhood we suggest that the place OF
rendezvous be the Boilers headquarters
here.

The boiling Democrats Of Richmond DO
not seem to know exactly where they
are at" Many OF them Will vote for
Palmer for President. and Lamb for
Congress. These can't go Mckinley
and Lewis. Per contra. some Of the most
distinguished OF these erratic Democrats
viii vote for Mckinley and Lewis.
Curious. isn't it. that a man who gets
ansered il you intimate that he is not a
Democrat. should purpose 10 vote for the
Republican candidates for President and
congressman? Yes; but not more curl
Gus than 10 find certain members OF the
Bolter party organizing the negroes,

their votes expeditiously and accurate

themselves by when they insist that
their Democracy should not be suspect
ed. though they are determined to vote
for Mckinley and Lewis.

The general coercion that has been at
tempted towards the workmen Of the
country by the Mckinley people has
brought about very natural result,
and IT is thus detailed in a Chicago tele-
gram OF October 9th. to the Washington
Post:
The effort Of The Chicago Record 10
make a postal-card canvass Of this and
adjoining States has been practically
frustrated BY the action Of the labor
unions and other organizations that are
cooperating with the Democrats. Not
withstanding the assurances of the Re
cord that the names OF the postal-card
voters will be held confidential, the
laboring element fears that II Is
scheme to secure the names OF the Bryan
voters in order that they may be
coerced. The Knights Of Labor and other
organizations have advised their mem
hers 10 refrain from participation IN
the mock election, and the Democratic
campaign committees have issued similar
instructions
Under such conditions. how many OF
the workmen who marched in the Hanna
procession at Chicago Friday are likely
20 vote his ticket?

THE GOAL THEY SEEK.

We would again urge upon the Demo-
cratic speakers and our local party man
ayers the importance OF keeping before
the neople the fact that the triumph OF
cold is not the main stake the ant-Bryan
combination is playing for IN virginia
with that combination the financial issue
"a the paramount issue only in 80 far as
&, can be made TO start a split In the
Democratic party, which our enemies
hone they can continue 10 widen until
November. 1881. From the standpoint o.
Democracy. It is emphasized as ihe para
mount issue just IN proportion as the
Marty shall present solid front and re-
sistance 10 the entering wedge. In VIZ
einia. therefore. the financial issue m
wolves. aside from its economic phase
the question OF the continuance Of honest
local government and the reign OF la"
and order-in short. It involves the ques-
ton OF our civilization.
November. a year hence. Virginia VIII
elect a Governor. a Northumberland,
and an Acknowledgement; a full House
and half the Senate. The Legislature in
turn viii elect what are known the
capitol officers, and certain OF these Of
fcers. with the Governor, viii constitute
the several boards that have such large
interests OF the Commonwealth 10 look
after. Furthermore. the Governor viii
have the appointment Of number OF
members on the boards OF State institu-
tions. and last. but not least, It viii de-
volve upon the General Assembly TO elect
a successor 10 Hon. John W. Daniel in
the United States Senate
The power and the patronage that IS
represented in all this Is the ultimate
goal for which the Republicans are stIiy-
ing. and towards which their bolter
dunes are helping them. What their sue
cess would mean for Virginia should not
need TO be told 10 any one who has even
the most indistinct personal recollection
OF the saturnalia OF extravaganza and
corruption that has ever marked Repub-
l,ean rule in the South. To those. how
ever. 20 whom the horrors Of reconstruc-
ton and negro and carpet-bag domination
have come merely as a tradition. IL Is
he duty OF our speakers to give the facts
In the strongest lights.

dor the Dispatch)
In the Richmond Times OF the 18th
instant q party. writing about the po-
litical speaking at Gloucester Courthouse
on the 9Th instant. stated that Judge
Joseph Christian was not permitted TO
speak. In justice to the people OF
Gloucester, permit me 20 write and state
the facts. Hon. W. A. Jones was adver-
tised 70 speak at our courthouse on that
day, as was Mr.. Walter Tyler, Republi-
can candidate for Congress. and also
Judge Joseph Christian. 10 represent the
Palmer and Buckner ticket. Judge Chris
tan asked for the courtroom, which was
vacated at p. NJ. Mr.. Jones commenced
speaking al l O'Clock from the hotel
porch. and Mr.. Tyler commenced at the
same hour to speak in the courthouse
square. Mr.. Jones spoke for two hours,
and as soon as he concluded Judge
Christian came Immediately 10 the front.
without being invited, and attempted TO
speak, when the large crowd called for
Mr.. Robert McCandlish. and the latter
then came forward and spoke. Then
spoke. Then Mr. Donovan was called
for At this time both Mr.. Donovan
and Judge Christian were standing be-
fore the crowd trying 10 talk. and / told
Judge Christian IL was our meeting, and
the Democrats wanted TO hear our
speakers.
In the mean time, the speaking by the
Republicans had concluded, and some OF
the Republicans came over, and they
called for Judge Christian. IL is right 10

Judge Christian spoke to large crowd
in the courthouse. and our people gave
him patient hearing for over two hours.
Then he was very severe I'm his de-
nunciations OF the Chicago nominees and
platform, and the Democrats did not
want him 10 interfere with their meeting
with the same abuse.
knowing Judge Christian as wen a.;
I DO. and admiring him as our people
have always done / venture the asser-
ton that Judge Christian himself. and
every fair-thinking man who knows all
the facts. will conclude that Judge Chris
tan made a mistake in attempting 20
speak. and that the Democrats were not
discourteous. The Illness correspondent
could have given an s4ccOunt Of the
speaking. and written a. longer letter
than he did II he had told that the
Palmer Buckner ticket would not have
six votes on election-day in the county,
and also described accurately the two
meetings. ] have never known our peo-
pie 10 be discourteOus 10 any speaker.

HOW TO PREPARE ONES BALLOT.

81 far as we know. Virginia Is the
onIv State IN the Union in which the
xoter votes directly for President ana
v,cs-Presldent. Nor has this been our
usual custom The law which authorizes
this is a new one. and Will so into erect
for the first time on November sd. Under
The names OF the candidates OF each
marty the names of the electors thereof
will be printed. and there Will be but one
ballot used. and this viii be the official
ballot. How ones ballot should be
prepared before being dropped into the
ballot-box Is clearly and conciseiy stated
fn the following circular-letter wnich
Chairman Ellyson has written. Read
II. The information that ii contains
is absolutely Indispensable 10 whoever
would vote intelligently at the election
TO be held in this state on November
80. And We much doubt If one out OF hum
dred OF our voters understands this mat
Ter as thoroughly as all may easily DO
by giving a careful reading 70 Mr. Ely
sons letter For Bryan and Sewah to re-
ceive In Virginia greater number OF votes
than Is cast for any other candidates Tor
President and Nice-PresiGeni would
ruean that their electors, whose names
appear on the ballot. are to assemble In
Richmond and cast their votes for our
candidates, as has long been done. So
while for simplicitys sake, we VIII vo-e
for Bryan and Sewall, the effect will be
10 elect the Bryan and Sewall electors
There viii be no pictorial device upon
our official ballot. but under the names
OF the candidates Of each party for
President and vice-President the names
OF the proper electors Will be grouped.
Here is Mr. Ellyson's letter:
Virginia state Democratic Committee.
nicnmOnd. Va. october 10, no.
NV Dear Sill deem IL important TO
call your attention TO the Tact that a
change was made by the Legislature last
winter in the matter OF voting for Presi-
cent and Vice-President. Ii is very sim
ne. ana for that reason can be easily
explained TO our voters; but / desire
mai you shall at once take steps to see
that all Of those who intend 10 vote our
ticket shall be made familiar with the
change in the law. Section = OF the act
approved March 4. 1886. provides that
.qualified voters al said election shall
designate their preference for any can
didates for President and Nice-President
Is scratching the names of the other
candidates for President and Yice-Presi-
dent" In other words II you wish TO
vote for Bryan and Sewall you will
scratch of the names OF all the other
candidates for President and Nice-Presi-
dent, leaving untouched the names OF all
The electors OF all the candidates. In
other words. DO NOT. UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, SCRATCH THE
NAME OF ANY ELECTOR on THE
TICKET. In voting for a member OF
Congress. you scratch out the names Of
those for whom you DO not wish to vote.
leaving only the name OF the candidate
for whom you desire your vote to be cast.
Yours, very truly.

EXCITING CONTEST ~ OHIO.
The Campaign WAKES Hot Toward
Election Time In Buckeye state.

Especial to the Washington Post)
CLEVELAND. O.. October n.-Conser-
vatlve campaign managers on either side
arc making no extravagant claims as TO
the outcome at the polls in Ohio three
weeks from next Tuesday. 10 Is how
generally conceded that the state Is IN
the doubtful column, and unless some
remarkable development arises between
now and election day. managers vii have
10 accept the uncertainty philostpnically
and await the result.
Democrats and Republicans both claim
the state. The former declare that ohio
will give Bryan a plurality ranging from
1000 10 $500. Republicans thnk Nc
Kinley will capture the State by plurali-
ties ranging from 1900 up 10 10000. only
Yesterday a member Of the Democratic
state Executive Committee declared that
By an actual poll OF the state ONO would
give Bryan 30oQ0 plurality.
The campaign grows very exciting as
the election draws near.

THE CLUB NEEDED.

In New York II IA proposed to start n

death by political talk. 1t is TO be a
sort OF House OF Refuge. socially speak
ing.
We suppose that there Will have 70 be
referee or umpire 10 decide when the
conversation IL bordering upon a politi-
cal question. and TO call halt. II 50.
his Job will not be an easy one. 1t will
be two TO ono harder than the umpiring
OF Il same OF baseball. The fact Is that
the New Workers are not on the right
track. Wha. is wanted IS not club at
which politics are not discussed. but a
club where every member can have his
say" and every other member will sit
still and listen TO him.
Such n club during this season. At
least. would enjoy a measure OF popu-
larity which would "astonish the ma
tives." Our observation inclines us to the
belief that the average man doesn't be-
come fretted because politics are discuss
ed. but because he isn't allowed 10 do
the chief part OF the talking.
