Three pretty maidens were the victims
OF a large and influential jolly last night.
Somebody told them Hampton Hoge was
leading the ticket in a spirited race for
the finish. ana that Montague. the Red
Fox candidate for the gubernatoriai chair,
cculont possibly catch up. These three
little maidens grew excited, and with
flushed cheeks bolted for The Times Of

Virginia for election returns.
..Do tell us,'s.tlley.z cried with flushed
cheeks and half out of breath. "how about
the election? Is Montague beaten? The
reports up our way say Hoge IS elected

So?"

mass of election returns. an avalanche Of
bulletins from hither, thither and yon.
and IL wilderness of specials accumulated
from places on the map and other points
ignored through lack of population.
Then the three little maidens heavcd
three sighs of relief, smiled gayly with a
merry three-hy-four sunburst each. and
were lost in a frivolous chatter down the
elevator shaft. They were serenely con-
tent over the result. Like Frederick the
Great who hated three religious sects
without knowing wherein they differed,
the trio of maidens had it in for Hampton
Hoge. The assurance of his defeat was q
welcome bit of news.

The result Of the battle of the ballots
throughout the country yesterday, while
in the nature Of a stand-off, is regarded
as being slightly more favorable to the
Republicans. Seth Low, the Fusion can
didate, was elected ever Edward NJ. Shep-
herd, the Tammanys candidate by a. plu-
rality Of from $4,000 to 100000, while the
whole Fusion ticket, with few exceptions,
was elected.
The latest returns from Maryland indi-
cate that the result in Baltimore city is
very close, while the Democrats made
gains In the State.
Ii, Ohio the Republicans elected Nash
Governor over l1ilbourne, the Democratic
nominee, by a majority considerably re-
duced from, that of 1885,
The vote in Pennsylvania was light,
but the Republican candidates were elec-
ed. though by reduced majorities.
The Democrst tss1ca.rIed kentucisy.
where interest was certered in the legis-
lative ccntests, on which hung the cleo
ton Of a United States Senator. The Re-
tpubIicans carried New Jersey. Iowa, Ne
braska, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The Democrats. Of course. carried Mis-
sissippi.
The vote in many place was light. and
the day passed off quietly and without
striking incidents. In New York city quite
a number of arrests were made, but few
CT the cases were of serious enough
nature to be held by the magistrate.
There weres q number of fights at the
polls but they did not result in any way
seriously. Mr.. Croker took the defeat OF
Tammany after a rule of seventeen
years quite phiIosophically, and attributed
it largely to a desire for a change on the
part of the people. Tammanv. he hopes.
will be improved by the defeat.
Mr. Low was greatly gratitied at the
result, and was generous in attributins
the success OF his ticket to the aid of the
newspapers On the whole both sides are
fairly we'll satisfied with the days re
suits. the Republicans because OF vic
tories in mcst of the places, and the Dem
ocrats are gratifed at having made in
roads upon the pluralities of their oppon-
ents.

The Democrats have carried the State
by probably 10000 ma ajority for Montague,
Willard and Anderson.
All tho returns indicate that the DEM
ocrats have done better, even than they
expected They not only elect their
State ticket, but will have fully four
1ifths of the Legislature.
The early returns indicate that the
Republicans have not elected more than
twenty of the members of the General
Assembly.
GOOD MEN DEFEATED.
It looks as If Captain r. S. Parks is
defeated for the House in Page and
Rappahannock. lie is one of the most
distinguished members of that body and
has served several terms. He is the
member of the Constitutional Convention
irom his county.
Major John 7. Cowan appears to be de-
fcated in Montgomery county, by Mr.
c. A. I4eermans, a Republican lawyer, OF
considerable reputation.
Colonel Robert Catlett is probably de-
feated in the Lexington district for the

FUSlONISTS WIN.
Tn Norfolk county, where there has
been hot factional fight, it looks as II
Mr.. Cromwell has defeated Mr.. Coleman.
The Democrats did much better than

Mountains. and they surpassed their eX-
pectations in the eastern portion OF the
state.
The vote was nowhere very heavy. There
was no disorder anywhere to amount 10

pursuit of which we cheerfully accept
and in fact desire all the assistance
which can be given our movement by
those reform forces which stand for
the betterment of mankind"
While the report advises the con-
sideration of all questions of political
economy or of a public nature hav-
ing reference to industrial or polit-
ical liberty in the homes of laboring
men, in the meetings of their unions,
and through publications in their Of
fetal journals, it concludes with this
significant statement:
I'VE submit that it is not within the pow
er of this organization to dictate to mem
bers of our unions to which political party
they shall belong or which party's ticket
they shall vote"
The socialists, in declining to take
up the discussion, explained that the
convention had so much business to
dispose of in the limited time at it's
disposal that they would not seize
the opportunity at this time to show
that socialism could cure the ills of
humanity. The substitute was adopt
ed by large majority.
Samuel Gompers was reelected
president. New Orleans was chosen
as the next place of meeting.

War Tax Reduction.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means com
mittee, says that no definite plans
have been made thus far for consid-
ering the question of further reduc-
ing the war taxes. At the same time
there has been much informal discus
sion of the subject, considera bic data
have been gathered concerning the
items which can best be reduced, and
there seems to be a general purpose
on the part of the members of the
committee to push this important
question to the front soon after the
holidays. In speaking of the matter
Mr.. Payne said: with surplus of
about $1OO,OOO,O00, / have no doubt
the ways and means committee will
frame bill reducing the revenues,
probably on the general lines of the
last war tax reduction bill"

FOR TRADE ALLIANCES.
Federation of Labor Committee Fa-
vOrs q Close Union of Sub
divided Crafts.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 16.-Two sur
prises developed in Saturdays ses-
sion of the American Federation of
Labor convention. The first was the
report of the special committee which
had the question of trade autonomy,
or organization along industrial
lines, in its keeping; the other was
the ease with which the socialists
bowed to the inevitable. The COM
mittee on trade autonomy recon-
mended:
where there are only a few craftsmen
In a large industrial concern, the best in
terests of all would be conserved by the
few Joining the paramount organization.
I'VE hold that the interests of the trade
union movement will be promoted by close
ly allying the subdivided craft, giving con-
sideration 20 amalgamation and to the or
ganization of district and national trade
councils to which should be referred ques-
tions in dispute and which should be ad-
justed within allied craft lines.
The American Federation of Labor, be-
ing a voluntary association, cannot direct
and should not adopt methods antagonlstic
to or in conflict with established trade
union laws, and in order 10 carry the above
recommendations into effect. and in full
recognition Of its logical position. the Amer
lean Federation of Labor pledges It's Of
iicers to aid and assist in the adjustment
of such craft encroachments as disputants
may be willing to submit to its arbitra-
ment."
The failure of the socialist dele
gates to attack the substitute for ~
socialistic resolutions was the second
surprise. The report stated that "the
aims, desires and aspirations of
trades unionists comprised all that
is necessary or possible to the well
being of the human family, and in the
