MONDAY EVENING. OCT. il. 1897.

THE republicans and their allies, the
boilers, in Virginia have led the preJu'
diced Northern people to believe that
elections in the State are fraudulent,
and the republican newspapers OF that
section are now teeming with denuncl'
atoms of the election laws of Virginia,
which, though utterly ignorant OF
them, with characteristic recklessness
they assert, deny the people of the
State free vote and fair count. Every
intelligent and disinterested man who
will read the laws referred to, will see at
once that no laws could have been
conceived and formulated better calcu-
lated to secure to every man in the
State the right to vote and to have his
vote counted fairly. All people famil-
lar with the true condition of affairs in
Virginia laugh at the alleged charges
of unfair elections here, while MIR. John
Wise's statement that 100000 of Mr..
Hanna's corruption fund was sent to
the State last fall, and Captain Lurty's
assertion that he was cheated out OF
the nomination of the recent Lynch
burg convention, remain uncontra'
dicted.

THE REPUBLICANS in New York
scout the idea that there are no politics
in the approaching municipal election
in that city and appeal to the sectional
and partisan feeling of the members Of
their party there to rally once more for
the defeat of the democrats, and there
by to strengthen those who favor the
double price of the necessaries OF life
and oppose the resumption of silver
coinage, and who applaud the President
for appointing negro officers in the
South and refusing to appoint them in
the North. But the boilers persist in
the foolish pretense that there are no
politics in the election referred to, and
that only the question of good munich
pal government is involved. But it is
observed that if they can injure the sil-
yer cause, they will be entirely content
with high tariff, and with negro domi'
nation in the South.

endeavoring to hamper the liberals,
Gen. Weyler has cabled the following
statement to the government
"The principles which constitute my
character, as well as my wsll.known
military history, are strong guarantees
that l have never created, nor will l
ever create, any difficulties for the con-
stituted government, be that whatever
it may.
II have always been, and in every
case shall ever be, the first man to &C.
cept, respect, obey and enforce the gov
ernment's orders. I would not allow
any demonstration to go beyond the ex-
preston of personal affection and the
approval of my policy"
