Chicago, Nov. THE election was
in some respects more OF a republican
landslide even than the one of four
years ago. Mckinley will have con-
siderably greater electoral vote than
then, but his stupendous majorities
are considerably reduced. The east
evinced marked disposition to recede
from the high water mark of 1896
while throughout nearly the entire
west the administration was accorded
a stronger vote. At national republi-
can headquarters the roll of states was
thus given:

that Indiana is also. In fact, the lat

ly enough. the bridge had been con-

exposition authorities as unsafe. The
public was, therefore. not allowed to

disaster even more terrible than
that which occurred was averted.
The victims first recovered were
mostly only the injured, the dead be-
ing found later beneath the center of
the structure. The first body was
found after a quarter of an hours
frantic labor. 1t was that of n little
girl seven years old whose head was
horribly crushed. Victim after vic

of nine mutilated cOrpses had been
placed upon the sidewalk. and nearly

carried in ambulances or driven TO the
hospitals.

HON. THOMAS E. WATSON.
The Distinguished Georgian VIII
Not Accept the POpuIist Nominal
ton for the Presidency.

Atlanta, Ga, April 2S.-The action
of populist conventions in several
northern states IN endorsing Hon.
Thomas J.. Watson, of Georgia, and
naming him for first place on the
ticket, has caused something of a stir
in political circles all over the south.
The association of Mr.. WatSon's uame
with his rumOred re-entry into poll
tics took the form in one instance
OF a report that he had decided to
accept the nomination and that he
was considering who should present
his name. Mr.. Watson has stated
several times that he was out OF poll
tics, but in view of the recent rumors
connecting him prominently with
the populist nomination, the distin-
guished Georgian was asked for
final declaration. The following was
received from Mr.. Watson Friday:
Under no circumstances would 1
accept any nomination or any Office.
Please number me among the pOlit~
ically dead and let me henceforth rest
in peace"

Washington, April 2s.-The house

a $5,OOO,OOO appropriation in its aid.
This has attracted the attention and
encouragement of the sections

commercial and national standpoint
and 10 give a status which il is hoped
will secure favorable consideration in
the present congress. The delega-

A Movement on Foot I'm Virginia
Looking to That End-A Con-
stitutiOnaI Convention.

Richmond, Va, April 29.-The ques-
ton of calling n constitutional con-
vention in Virginia primarily for the
Acknowledgement of the Negroes has
been practically settled. so far as the
democrats are concerned. \ majority
of the delegates to the democratic
state convention, which meets at Nor
folk on MAY >. are instructed in favor
of making the call for the conven-
ton a party issue. This matter is now
the absorbing one in Virginia, and the
demand for the Acknowledgement Of
the Negroes and other constitutional
reforms has entirely OvershadOwed
the original purpose for which the
Norfolk meeting was called.
The constitution under which the
people now live was adopted in 1869
by what was known as the Under
wood convention. That body was
composed of northern settlers and
Negroes. The white people of Nir-
ginia, very many of whom were then
disfranchised, had little or no part in
formulating the organic law under
which they have since lived. There
is an overwhelming sentiment in the
state in favor of eliminating the col
ored vote from its politics forever.
This can only be accomplished by
constitutional revision. The elimi-
nation of the black vote is demanded
not only from the great black belts
of Virginia, but also the white cOUn-
ties. Some of the largest and most
influential of the latter elected dele
cations instructed to favor a con-
ventiOn.
The elements opposing this move
ment are the great corporations, the
local officehOlders, and the repub-
licans.
