The Virginia Election.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Indications
point to the lightest vote ever polled
in Virginia to morrow. The respective
State chairmen will make no pre-.
dictions but say they anticipate
no heavy vote except in legis-
lative districts where hot con.
tests have been waged. The demo-
cratic state ticket undoubtedly will
win by safe majority Captain Cooke,
the populist candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, has made very vigorous
campaign. The prohibition vote will
be small. The legislature will be large
ly democratic. There is likelihood of
one negro lawmaker being elected in
the southwest, the first in years. The
weather outlook is fair.

of the latter, Mr.. Hanna's corruption

year, and he has use for all of it in his

than elections, except war, but it is not
unreasonable to suppose that the ex'

many voters with repubiicanism and

BRADsTREEr of Saturday, speaking
OF the low price of cotton, says: "The
course of the cotton market the past
few weeks has been decidedly in favor
of buyers, and the price of the staple
has fallen steadily, in face of the Amer
ican new crop, smaller by 3OO,o0 bales
than last year at this date, with visi-
BILE supply of 700, 900 bales smaller than
last year, and 100000 bales smaller
than 1896. Great Britain's consump.
ton OF cotton shows steady shrinkage
since 1S90-91." The complaint from
Bradstreet's standpoint is over produc-
ton, when the truth ie, woeful lack OF
consumption caused by the vast num-
Der Of unemployed, not having the
means of purchasing, and the increased
value of the money now in circulation
over the world.

Reports received from all the Vir-

is much greater than was at first sup
posed. According to the oldest inbab-

living men, and the continuance of the
storm and high water for almost four
days beats all records ofprevious storms
along the Virginia coast. Strange to
say, no lives were lost on these seaside

A NORTHERN white woman whose
negro husband had abandoned her, as
was natural, has sought and obtained
from the Washington authorl-
ties transportation for herself and
children to North Carolina, where,
she says, her husbands parents
will provide for her. If her husband
refused to support her, it is hardly pos
aible his parents will be more liberal,
even if they be able to be so, and az she
may therefore become q tax upon the
white people of the county to which
abe has gone, she will very probably be
sent back to the place from whence she
c,me. Southern people have az much
az they can do to support their own
poor, and cannot, reasonably, be expect
ed TO provide for those of the more
prosperous North.

RLANCO,S PLANS.

Captain.General Blanco had an inter
view lasting an hour on Saturday with
General Weyler, the retiring Captain
General, on board the steamer Mont
serrat, on which the latter sailed on
Saturday for Spain, at which General
Weyler formally resigned his command
to General Blanco. The latter then
returned to the shore, and the Monser-
rat shortly afterwards started on her
voyage.
General Blanco has issued an address
to the inhabitants of the island, in
which he says that he has come to Cuba
with the sincere desire of bringing last
ing peace. The government, he added,
has confded to him the duty of i'm
planting reforms and upholding the
sovereignty of Spain. In pursuing
broad, generous policy, he will endeav-
or to re.establish. liberty and fraternity
among the inhabitants, while strength.

General Blauco promises justice to
all, and that prosperity will once more
reign in Cuba. The protection of Spain
will be accorded to all conforming to
the law, while all those who refuse to
do so will be proceeded against with
the utmost rigor. General Blanco has
also issued an order to The soldiers.
When he debarked on Saturday from
the vessel which brought him from
Spain he was greeted with a salute OF
twenty. one guns. An enormous crowd
assembled to welcome him, and depu-
tation of autonomists expressed their
loyalty and adhesion. The chief of the
volunteer corps waited upon the new

To-DAY,s TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Maryland Election.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. with the
coming election but few hours distant,
both sides express the utmost conf
dence in the outcome and each puts
forth claims that include everything.
The legislative contest oyershadoWs the
State ticket, the municipal contest in
Baltimore city, and every other feature
of the fight. because upon its outcome
depends the political future of United
States Senator German. If ths demo-
Gratis carry the legislature be will have
another term In the United States SEN
ate; if they lose the fight, Maryland
will send republican in his stead. All
of the lower house in the general as
sembly and fourteen of the senators are
to be elected. Of the latter, nine
of the "holdovers" are republicans
and but three are democrats, the death
of Senator Bond, a democrat, having
created a vacancy in his district.
The republicans claim that thorough
canvass of the State shows a clear ma
jority for their side on joint ballot,
and insures the election of republican
to succeed Senator Gorman. The
democratic leaders claim with equal
confidence that exactly the reverse is
true, and both sides produce figures in
support OF their assertions. The same
may be said concerning the race for
the mayoralty in Baltimore city, in
which William L. Master, republican,
and Henry Williams, democrat, are tie
contending candidates. Two years
ago the republicans elected Lowndes
governor by nearly 10000 and last year
Mckinley carried the State by nearly
$4,000, but for many years prior to that
the democrats were uniformly sue.

TIE COURT and criminal expenses of
the State last year amounted to more
than four hundred thousand dollars.
There are divers and sundry ways by
which such an unnecessary and enor-
nous expense could be reduced, and if
the legislature to be elected tomorrow
shall adopt them, it will do good to its
members, to the democratic party and
to the State and all her people.

MRS. ALEXANDER'S ADDRESS

MRS. ALEXANDER'S ADDRESS.
One of the most interesting incidents
of the convention OF the Virginia Divi-
sion, United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, which was held in this city last
week, was an address made by Mrs.
Alexander, of Alexandria, on a petit
ton to have the burial place of the
Confederate dead at Bull Run suitably
enclosed and otherwise attended to-
Her language was chaste and beauti.
full, and its touching pathos appealed
30 strongly to the ladies present that
most of them we're in tears. 1t was a
remarkable scene, and one that will
not soon be forgotten by those who
were present.-[Lynchburg News.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE
The Lynchburg News gives a correct
version of the scene on the convention
floor when Mrs. Alexander gained the
attention of the chair and in earnest
and tender words enlisted the sympe.
thy of the Daughters of the Virginia
Division, q. D. c., in the subject near
est her heart-the unmarked neg
lected graves on the battlefield Of Bull
Run. This address from Mrs. Alexan-
der was the only plea made for Bull
Run and needed no finishing touches
or additional words, as her efforts on
behalf of that historic battle ground
had won the day from stern duty we'll
performed. The appeal was both time
ly and patriotic and We trust the result
will be the fulfllment Of the desire of
her heart to have those long neglected
graves enclosed and protected.
