The QUIETEsT congressional campaign
in Virginia which can be recalled has
come TO close and tomorrow the cleo
ton will be held. To this district not a
mass meeting has been held and save in
the Fifth and Ninth districts but few pollt-
zeal speeches have been made by either
democrats or republicans. 1t IS quite
sure that the democrats will re.elect nine
of the ten congressman from Virginia
and there is strong hope that they may
regain the Ninth district and relegate
Col. Slemp to the oblivion from which
he should never have been dragged.
In this, the Eighth district, Mr.. Rixey
will have a walk-over if his friends will
only take the time to go to the polls. Un-
fortunately he has been prevented by ill
health from making canvass, but his
friends owe it to him to rally to his sup
port and show that they appreciate his
worth aud the efficient services he has
rendered them ever since ne took his
seat 10 Congress.
From throughout the country encOur-
aging news comes Of gains thatsthe dem
ocrats will make in the next House.
Chairman Griggs, of the congressional
campaign committee, claims majority.
1t is to be hoped that his claim may be
made good.
The hottest fight in any of the States
isin NJ W York. The New York Hearld's
political forecast gives the State to

in New York city, the paper declines to
predict. The majority, one way or the
other, it says will be so small as to be
immaterial.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS on the stump
in Maryland recently is reported as hav-
ing expressed the belief "thst the coun'
try is on the verge OF breaking up OF
old party alignments and that in five
years there will be two great parties,
one paternslislic, composed Of men who,
having lost all confidence in the capacity
of the people to do anything for them
selves, would intrust everything to the
government. The ether party will be
composed Of men who still believe 10 the
initiative of the individual and in the
principles euunciated by Thomas Jefier-
son. Indeed, to many, things seem to
Je drifting that way.
