is Overwhelmingly Republican and Col.
Campbell Slemp, the brill ant Repubi-
can congressman in the Ninth District
has been reelected.
The election passed of quietly in
Richmond and among the business
white men, there seemed to be a feeling
that they wanted Mr.. Roosevelt elected
anyway. Bot there were others. Many
people believed that Mr.. Parker would
carry New York and accordingly the
country and they clung TO that hope to
the last.
There was some betting at odds in fa.
vor of Mr.. Roosevelt. The TMEs-DI
sPATCH had employed Iardella's Band
to discourse lively airs and to celebrate
the Democratic victory. Moving pic
lures were also displayed on the can
vas during the intervals. This proved
TO be wise forethought for the Demo-
Gratis who were present as these were
about the only consoling features of the
evening.
! SAD TINES AT THE BULLETIN BOARD.
| Then came the returns from New
York, stating that the city of New York
showed a plurality of 10000 for Parker.
Some of the crowd understood this to
mean New York state and loud hurrah
followed. Then came the news from
New Jersey, Indiana. Connecticut and
another report from New York, stat
ing that the state had gone for Roose-
welt, but that the Democratic candidate
for Governor, Herrick was elected
Then came another report that paral-
lied the Democratic crowd. 1t was
that West Virginia, the home of the
Democratic Vice Presid ential candidate
had gone for Roosevelt by 23, 900 plural

Ninth Virginia District showed that
Col. Campbell Slemp. the Republican
candidate was elected by two majority
and then 10y 16. The later returns
show a ma ajority for him Of 4 600. This
was the district in which vigorous at
tempts were made TO arouse the race is
sue and where President Roosevelt was
mercilessly assuiled on account of the
Booker I. Washington lunch at the
White House.

REPuBLICAN GAINS EvERYwHERE.

The latest returns show that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will have 343 electoral
votes and Judge Parker only 1913. The
fact is that the Democrats have met the
worst defeat the party has experienced
in fifty years. Not only is it n solid
North but n broken South, for Missouri
has gone Republican by about $4,000
plurality and although the ID mocrats Of
Maryland had gerrymandered the state
and dlsfranchiSed the colored people by
the adoption of a new election law, the
state has gone Republican.

FELTON, and the Cutoff.

Things keep stirring down at
FELTON,, Mexico's new suburb. The
Burlington Bulletin makes this
reference:
A very unexpected order was
issued last week notifying train
masters that no more Burlington
freight would be hauled jointly by
the G. & A. and Burlington be-
tween Kansas City and st. Louis.
At the same time orders were Civ
en- to reduce the yard force at Eel.
ton. The night yardmaster, helper
and switch engine at that place
have been taken Off. This order
will doubtless reduce the business
to a considerable extent on the
western division and have a ten
dency to reduce the number of
employees. The passenger arrange
ment between the two roads will
remain in force. There will be
two passenger trains each way and
one local freight over the cutoff.
