POLITICS IN VIRGINIA.
Elections for Congressman Only--Out-

Richmond, Va. Nov. 5.-(SpeciaD.-
The Virginia elections of Tuesday next
are for Congressman only, save that one
or two members Of the State Senate and
House of Delegates will be returned to
fill unexpired terms in the present Gen
eral Assembly. The Legislative cleo
tons have no significance, as a United
States Senator will not be elected until a
new General Assembly shall have been
chosen in November of next year.
The Congressional has been
the most spiritlesss in years, except in
the Ninth District. where Rhea CDem.)
bent, and in the Tenth District. where
the candidates are Quarles DEM and
Hubbard (Rep.). No question seems to
be raised as to the return of Jones, from
the First: Young. from the Second;
Lamb from the Third Epes, from the
Fourth; Otey, from the Sixth; Hay. from
the Seventh. and Rixey, from the Eighth
District. All of these are Democrats.
State Democratic Chairman Ellyson
said tonight:
"The outlook in Virginia is as encour-
aging as the most ardent Democrat could
desire. We will certainly elect eight out
Of the ten congressman. The Ninth and
Tenth are very closely contested districts,
and | believe that the chances are in ia
vor of our carrying these making a sol
idly Democratic delegation from the Old
| Dominion"
! Those in touch with Republican head
quarters, however, claimed that the Re-
pnblicans will carry the Ninth and Tenth
| Districts, and probably the Fifth, in
which last named districts Swanson. the
Democratic incumbent is opposed by
Parr (Rep.). Neither side is inclined to
give figures.

Z. The negroes constitute over three

NEGRO AND WHITE.
Encounter Between a White Man and
a Negro Candidate on the Radical
Ticket.
(Newbern Journal.)

The result of IA white man putting him.
self on the level with negro is shown III
an occurrence that took place Thursday
night at one of the outside speaking
places. Prof Isaac Smith and II. W.
Carpenter spoke from the same platform
Smith began saying more against white
people than even Carpenter liked, and
he took the trouble to reply. The re-
suit was personal scrimmage between
the negro and white man. No one was
hurt. but as the two speakers had to
ride home in the same carriage without
Speaking to each other, the social result
was unpleasant.

HOLTON AS A CHASER.
(Statesville Landmark

We find this in the Raleigh CORE
spondence of the Charlotte Observer:
Chairman Holton is getting out a
circular instructing any and all Re
publicans to at once report to him any
disorders, so that, as he says, he can
have the grand juries to take up the
matter. The chairman ridicules the idea
of any threats amounting to anything,
and says he could suddenly jump down
in the Sixth district and chase away
any man who makes them"
Mr. Holton is a mighty brave man at
long range Whenever he wants 20
chase anybody he ought to go to Sails
bury and try to chase Mr.. Tom Wander
ford. Remember Mr.. Nanderford, Mr..
Holton.
