SATURDAY, April 10, 1897.
Entered at the PostofIice at Accomac
@. H. Va. as second-class matter.

The election returns this week from
many cities in Ohio, Chicago and
Detroit seem TO indicate q remark
able change in sentiment at those
points since last November The
homes Of President Mckinley, Sena-
tor Foraker and even OF Boss Hanna
did not escape the democratic tidal
wave, which swept over those sections.
Canton, the home of Mckinley, went
democratic; the republican plurality
OF 10000 last year in Cincinnati, the
home of Senator Foraker, was dis
placed by q democratic plurality of
over 1000 and large democratic gains
were made at Cleveland, the home OF
Boss Hanna. The result isattributed
TO various causes and loss of con.
tidence in republican bosses and the
growth of free silver sentiment are
mentioned among them. They seem
to have found out that they were
duped by the republicans and to be
willing to correct as far as possible
the mistakes made by them in the
fail election. The probable result OF
these elections in State or national
politics, it is too early of course to
estimate, but it may be accepted IS
the forerunner, perhaps, of what the
republican party has the right to
expect in 1893, when Congress is
again to be elected, if it can succeed
no better than it has done in full
filing its promises TO improve in
dustrial conditions and cause better
times

Hon. William A. Jones has arrived
at the conclusion, after q long and
careful consideration of the subject,
that it would be mistake to cali a
Constitutional Convention at this
time. His views in the matter are
published in another column, and
because of his great ability and high
standing with his party. should go
very far in convincing those who
have no definite opinion on the sub
ject what their duty will be in cast
ing their votes at the May election.
