RAIN HAS NO EFFECT.
That Is the Opinion of Election
Managers.

Although a much worse prospect for
an election day could not have been i'm
agined early this morning, neither side
regarded the weather with apprehension.
They did not seem to care whether il
rained or not. few years ago the fu-
sionists would have regarded a stormy
election day as a visitation of Provi-
dence against them. In those days the
country vote was largely POpulist, ard
stormy day tended to keep the farm
ers away from the polls. Now the coun-
try vote is pretty evenly divided between
the two parties. and bad weather hurts
one as much as the other.
If the bad weather OF the early MORN
ing has any effect at all it will probably
be to slightly diminish the Republican
vote. This viii be because the Repub-
licans are confident of victory any way
and some of the less enthusiastic voters
Will think their votes are not needed ard
VIII not go through the mud and wet TO
the polls
bad weather won't make any differ
ence to the fusionists one way or the
other" said Secretary John Curran of
the Populist state committee this morn
ing. Two years ago we wanted a pleas
ant election day. We got it. The farm
erS all turned out to vote and we also
got it-in the neck. AS matter of ia ct
our vote has been changing from the
country to the cities during the past
three or four years. so we don't care
about the weather one way or another"
The fusionists expect their returns to
begin coming in about o'clock to-
night. The Republicans may receive a
few dispatches even earlier than that.

chine for throwing bluerocks and one of
the best devices of the kind made. The
Topeka shooters should go to Granville

Richmond, Va, Nov. THE station mas
ter at the Main street depot recently OPP
ened jointly by the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Seaboard Air Line. issued notice
prohibiting ladies from smoking in the
luxurious apartments set aside for their
comfort. The negro waiting maid reported
that ladies came there daily to smoke and
sent her to the cigar stand to buy cigar

the service of the maid that she reported
it to the stationnaster.
These rooms are frequented almost en-

thew are of course the offenders. The maid
says the smokers are largely fashionably
dressed ladies.
The smoking has stopped since public
