DR.. swallow, an estimable Quaker

DR.. Swallow, an estimable Quaker
gentleman of Pennsylvania, ran for
Governor of that State, having for
his motto: tThou shalt not steal"
He received fewer votes than any of
the other candidates. Whether we
are to conclude from this that bis
motto was disapproved by the voters
or that he was unpopular, personally
or politically, we do not know. Per-
haps the Doctor himself wonders
whether it was the candidate or his
platform that was so displeasing to
the citizens of the keystone State

1t is understood that the State
Board Of Education has notified all
of the book publishing concerns who
were given contracts for text books
that they must not permit any Of
their agents to take anyappeals from
the decision of the local boards. If
tt is persisted in the board intimates
tl.oy will revoke these contracts. The
i6.ea of adopting this policy is to
break up g course which is a source
of the greatest annoyance to the Vir-
GINA School authorities.

ESTIMATED DISTRICT MAJoRIT1Es.
The Democrats Make n Clean Sweep in
North Carolina.

Raleigh, November S.-The result
of the election in North Carolina is
such as to surprise even the most
sanguine of the democrats. AS the
democratic State chairman says, estl-
mates actually cannot be made. he
said: I'VE have the State by not less
than $4,000 majority if the counties
not heard from do one half as we'll as
those heard from, and we have elected
three ourths of the lower House and
two thirds of the State Senate. In
dications are that we have elected
seven or eight of the nine Congress
men,
The ouietness.of the election is nota-
bic Not q fight occurred anywhere,
so far as reported. Here, for instance,
the day was nearly like the Sabbath.
One of the interesting things about
the election is that such great num-
beers of white republicans voted the
democratic ticket, or, as they very
plainly termed it. The white man s
ticket AS for the populists, they
literally turned their backs on the
fusion their party managers had ar
ranged. Not few negroes voted the
democratic ticket. This was quite
noticeable in some counties
Raleigh, November 9.-Chairman
Holton, of the Republicans, comedies
everything to the Democrats.
Richmond, November 9.-From
Wilmington comes the announcement
that meeting of the white citizens
was held this morning and the editor
of the Record (the negro paper,
mortified to leave the city The Mayor
ann Chief of Police will vacate their
offices.
Washington, D. c., November o.
North Carolina has elected a solid
Democratic delegation. No Repub-
licans are elected in Georgia, Florida.
Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and
Arkansas.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 70, 1898.
Entered at the Postofice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The result in last Tuesdays election
was not all that was desired by us,
but there was much in it that is very
gratifying to us, if we did not entirely
have our way in the matter. There
is much cause for rejoicing on Our
part, in having won in every Con-
gressional district in Virginia and q
peculiar satisfaction in knowing that
General James Walker, who has so
long mlsrepreSented and DETAINED
Virginia, is to step down and out of
the position which he has so long dis
graced. There is real JOY in the
thought, that democracy was trium-
phant in almost every part OF North
Carolina on last Tuesday aud that
white supremacy is not only in the
ascendancy in the old North State at
this time but is there to stay. There
is much to cheer us in the election OF
two democratic Congressman in
MARYLAND and to inspire us with the
hope that the redemption of that
State from republicanism has begun.
Nor are these the only evidences
that democracy is not dead through
out our land. The election Of from
forty to fifty more democrats to the
House Tuesday than in the last Con-
gressional election means, that demo-
cracy still stands guard over the
liberties of our country and is signlfi'
cant of the doom in the near future
that awaits republicanisIn in its
wild career toward imperialism and
for it's utter disregard of the laws and
sacred traditions of our country.

A PROCLAMATION.
President Requests that Next Monday
Be a Day Of Thanksgiving.

Washington. July 6.-President Nc
Kinley at 11.40 tonight, issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the American
people: To the people of the United
States of America: At this time when,
to the yet fresh remembrance of the
unprecedented success which attended
the operations of the United States
fleet in the bay of Manila on the 1st
day Of May last, are added the no less
glorious achievements of the naval and
military arms of our beloved country
at Santiago de Cuba, it is fitting that
we should pause and staying the feel
ing of exultation that too naturally
attends great deeds wrought by our
countrymen in our country's cause,
should bow reverently before the throne
of Divine grace and give devout praise
to God, who holdeth the nations in the
hollow Of his hands and worketh upon
them the marvels of His high will. and
who has thus far vouchsafed to us the
light OF His face and led our brave SOL
diers and seamen to victory.
I therefore ask the people of the United
States on next assembling for Divine
worship in their respective places of
meeting, to offer thanksgiving to Al
mighty God, who, in His inscrutable
ways now leading our hosts upon the
waters to unscathed triumphs now guild
ing them in a strang land through the
dread shadows of death to success, even
though at a fearful cost. now bearing
them without accident or loss to far dis
tant chimes, has watched over our cause
and brought nearer to success the right
eous attainment of a just and honorable
peace.
With the nations thanks let there be
mingled the nations prayers that our
gallant sons may be shielded from harm
+alike on the battlefield and in the clash
- fleets, and be spared the scourge Of
offering and disease while they are
Hriving to uphold their country's honor.
Ind withaq, let the nations heart be
Killed with holy awe at the thought of
tale noble men who have persisted as he
roes die, and be filled with compassionate
S yrHpathy for all who suffer bereavement
or endure sickness, wounds and bonds by
ral son of the awful struggle.
And, above all. let us pray with earnest
r. Mor that He, the dispenser of all good
mE speedily remove from us the untold
Affections Of war and bring to our dear
qa,t tho blessings of restored peace and
to MI the domain now ravaged by the
ovn III 1krffQ the nrca1pSS bnOn 0f serenity
