sonian democracy met to-day and issued
the following address:
The spontaneous and pathetic tribute
OF the people of Greater New York paid
ON Sunday night to the dead tribune Of
the people has demonstrated beyond the
shadow Of doubt that Henry George,
the father, would, had God spared him
to us. have been elected to the mayoralty
of our great city.
More than this, it foreshadows with
equal certitude the complete victory of
Henry George, the son, who now leads the
hosts his father marshalled.
This is still as 1t has been, the struggle
OF the people against bosses chosen and
supported by the chosen classes. 1t is
still, as 1t has been, a battle for real de-
mocracy within the democratic party. The
death of the great leader no more closes
the contest for equal rights, and the at
tack upon special privileges than did

behalf of the fusion ticket to-day and to-
night, speaking in Lincoln, Omaha and
number of smaller towns.
There is no state officer to be elected
this year, and the election hinges largely
upon local and county issues
Six counties elect state senators, who
will hold over to vote for a successor to
James Smith as United States senator.
There are thirteen hold-over republicans
and two hold-over democrats in the Sem
ate. The democrats will probably make
gains, especially in the lower house.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS WILL WIN.
And Consequently Senator John w.
Daniel VIII he Reelected.

DUTETVE TIL
Richmond, Va, Nov. There is no
change in the forecast of the election in
Virginia sent out Saturday night. The
democrats viii elect their state ticket, and,
with the hold-over senators, have clear
working majority in both houses. This
means the reelection of Senator John w.
Daniel as United States senator, he hav-
ing been indorsed for reelection by the
state democratic convention, which met
in Roanoke. The vote throughout the
state promises to be light especially If
the rains of to-day continue. The most
important question before the legislature
will be the reduction of expenses. The
canvass has been, on both sides, the most
spiritless known in years. In many of
the legislative districts the democrats have
no opposition.

Curses of fntermsrr,asc.


A writer in America, discOursing on
the results Of intermarrying, gives an
appalling list of the diseases and de-
formities with which various members
of European royal houses are afflicted,
owing to this cause. From mere facial
deformity up to insanity, there Is
scarcely any distressing afiiiction with
which humanity Is afflicted which does
not find place in the list. Very pos
sibly this catalogue may be incorrect,
but experience unquestionably proves
the fact that there Is degeneration in
royal families. To q certain extent
this may be due to intermarriage, but
I suspect that It Is still more due to the
species Of cult that Is paid to royalties
from generation to generation, and
which must In the nature of things
weaken their intellectual fiber. Moth.
