As Viewed in WASHINGTON.

Washington, Nov S.-The Reprbli-
cans here are not at all jubilant over
the result OF yesterdays elections and
really they have no cause to be. Dis
patches here today from Ohio from Re-
publican sources, estimate the ma jori-
ty for the Republican ticket all the
way from ten to fifty thousand, and as
it was victory or death to both the
President and Mr.. Hanna, and as they
had all the money they wanted to buy
success, not to have achieved it would
have been surprising.
The result in Kentucky is still doub t-
full, though ex-senator Blackburn
at half past twelve o'clock today sent
the following dispatch here: .'Goebel
is elected" The decisive Democratic
victories in Maryland and Nebras-
ka ale especially gratifying, as
the Republicans had professed them
selves as confident of victory in
both. There is no other public talk
here today except about the result of
yesterdays balloting and its possible.
effect upon next years Presidential
election. While the endorsement of
Ohio is thought sufficient to secure
the denomination of Mr.. Mckinley, the
general impression among the conserv-
atives is that yesterday gave black
eye to imperialism. In Kentucky the
gains were along the line
of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, in the towns and counties
through which that road runs. Its
squandered money in ia
vor of the Republican ticket.
The President talked today as if be
were perfectly satisfied with the gen.
eral result. While Nash's plurality
will probably not reach his expectations
be regards the Ohio result as complete
of the administration.

We have heard of some bombastic
offers to give employment to 500 men
at $1.4O per day. being made recently
in Staunton, and we have informa-
ton leading us to believe that the par
ty making such offer employs few
skilled men and does not pay some OF
them as much as S1.25 per day.

Apple Crop Yields S28O,O00.

The apple season has closed at Win
chester after the biggest yield ever
known. The industry brought $3.50, O0O
to Frederick, Warren, Fauquier aud
Loudoun counties. The shipments
amounted to 10000 barrels, which
bought Oh an'average of 81 a barrel.
The apple and peach Industries are
recent additions to the farm products
of this section, although the latter was
an entire failure this year, owing to
an off season. Theapple yield next year
6 estimated at over 200, 900 barrels.

G. T. Harris said in his announce
ment card for the Legislature that he
had had nothing to do with the So
called Democratic convention. And
we see from the returns that the people
had nothing to do with Mr.. Harris.
This game of ''had nothing to do
with" can be played two ways.

FISH FOR

Mr. T. r. Robinson has gener-
ously contributed quite a large
number of red and silver fish for
the large basin of the fountain in
beautiful Willowdale Cemetery.
The fish have already been
placed in the basin and seem to be
comfortable and contented in their
new habitation, and gather in full
force when keeper Tudor comes to
feed them.
It is to be hoped that no wan
ton boy or reckless person will
modest these fish, for aside from
the law, which protects them,
sentiment should insure them
from harm.

EWart's Position.

Greensboro. n c.; Nov. IT,
The following is absolutely re-
liable with regard to Judge
Ewart's position. There is no
truth in statements that he will
resign, that he will not allow his
name to be sent to the Senate, or
that he has made an agreement
to such effect. On the contrary,
his name will be sent to the
Senate, Judge Ewart being conf
dent of confirmation. On the
3rd of March last every Repub-
lican Senator, except four, and a
large number of democratic Sena-
tors, joined in a written request
to the President, not only to re-
appoint Ewart, but to again send
his name to the Senate, because
they had not had an opportunity
to vote on his nomination, owing
to the dilatory tactics of Butler
to prevent a vote. Ewart's com
mission does not expire until the
end of next session, a fact which
does not appear to be generally
known. With a fast and firm
friend in Senator Pritchard, sew
enteen Republican majority in the
Senate and the active and open
support of Democrats like Lind
say, Bacon, McEnery and others,
and the support Of practically the
entire bar of the Western Dis
trict, Ewart considers that he
would be a monumental idiot to
retire. Both Pritchard and Butler
have been recently petitioned to
exercise their best Offices in Sc
curing Ewart's confirmation. The
judge is in to stay, expecting to
win hands down.
