WEDNESDAY EVENING NOV. 14, 18 4.
All that the republicans will have
to do to elect the next President will
be to unite in the close States with the
populists, as they did last week, and
give the latter a vote large enough to
throw the election in the U. S. House
of Representatives, where each State
will cast one vote, and as the House
elected last week will be the one by
which the election will be held in case
the Presidential electors fail to elect,
they will have no further trouble, as
they will have thirty votes in that
body?a large majority. But the ad
ministration was so intent upon defeat?
ing Senator Hill in New York that it
either lost sight of this contingency
or recklessly disregarded it, and never
turned a hand even to save any other
State. ____________
One ok the most noticeable changes
that have taken place in Virginia since
the war between the States, is the large
republican vote that is now cast in the
9th and 7th congressional districts.
Those districts before that war were so
democratic that one of them, the latter,
was known as the "Tenth Legion" of
democracy but since then, both have
sent republicans to Congress, and only
last week the former elected another
one, and in tho latter the vote was so
close that the republican candidate will
contest. And yet the 9th district has
always been nearly bare of negroes,
and there never were many in Page,
Rockingham and Shenandoah counties,
which.before the war,were overwhelm?
ingly democratic.
The 'Railway Age of Chicago com?
pletely reports the premises and conclu?
sions of the recent report of tho com?
mission appointed by the President to
investigate the Debs's strike, and con?
victs the members of that commission of
deliberate falsehood, of gross ignorance,
nnd of transparent prejudice anddema
gogism, and winds up by saying their re?
port is" worthless and discreditable alike
to themselves and to thelcountry." That
the Age is correct is patent to every
disinterested man of good sense, who
may ha%'e read the testimony taken by
the commission.
Mr. T. C. Waite, late special agent
of the census bureau, and lecturer at
the Johns Hopkins and Columbian
universities, says the late overwhelm
ing democratic defeat was the result of
five million stay at home voters. He
does not say what made them stay at
home; probably because he supposes
every body knows.and it is therefore un?
necessary. In case there may be some
who have been asleep ever since that
time, and therefore don't know, it is
stated that the cause of the defeat com?
menced in June, 1S92,and has increased
ever since.
Real estate is very high in Washing,
ing, so high that the interest on its
value and taxes reduce the profits of
manufacturing to little or nothing, and
besides, Washington is a residence, not
a business city, and manufactories there
are not agreeable to a large class of the
city's population. It is just the reverse
here. Factories of all sorts, except
soap and fish, will be welcomed in
Alexandria, and lots are so cheap here
that the interest and taxes on them
would not affect the profits there of to
any appreciable extent.
A short paragraph in the Gazette's
Washington correspondence of yester?
day's da.te was strikingly suggestive.
It was to the effect that while the
President and nearly all the members
of his Cabinet had time to go to Phila?
delphia the day before, to see a ship
launched, only one of-them had time
enough, the Tuesday before to go home
and cast a democratic ballot. And yet
some people who call themselves dem?
ocrats were surprised at the result of
the recent election.
The new fifty million gold bond is?
sue, and the consequent increase ot the
public debt to that amount, and the
necessary Increase of taxation to pay
the five per cent, interest thereon, are
not at all conducive to tho suppression
of the free silverites and of those in fa?
vor of fiat money. But administrations
as well as individuals must go their
own gait.
Masonic?The Grand Royal Arch
Chapter of Virginia convened at the
Masonic Temple in Richmond last even?
ing in its eighty-seventh annual con?
vocation. There was a good attendance,
and the opening session was full of in?
terest to the members. Grand-High
Priest John T. Carter, of Danville, read
bis annual report, which showed the
chapters throughout the State to be in
good condition, and Mr. Bumgardner.
of Staunton, proxy for Grand-Lecturer
V/. H. H. Lynn, of the same city, who
was detained at home by sickness, read
the Lecturer's report. Another session
was held to-day. Messrs. J. H. Fisher
and J. E. Alexander are in attendance
as representatives from Mt. Vernou
Chapter, this city.
The Grand Commandery K. T., of
the State will meet in Richmond to?
morrow morning. Grand Emminent
Commander E. E. Downham will be
present as will also Messrs. Alexander
and Fisher to represent Old Dominion
Commandery, of this city.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[Correspondence of the Alexandria Oamtte.]
Washington. Nov. 14,1894.
Senator Ransom says the story print?
ed in a newspaper of this city this
morning, to the effect tbatthe old legis?
lature of his State will be convened for
the purpose of electiug two democratic
U. S. Senators before a new one can
meet and elect republican and populist
fusion Senators, is absurd and not
worth the trouble of denying it. He
would scorn to be a party to any such
trick if it were possible, but it is not, as
the Governor would not think of con?
vening a legislature for such a purpose,
but if he should, the legal body that
would meet would be the one
just elected, and it certainly is not such
a desirable one that any dem?
ocrat would hasten its approach.
The Senator also says he puts no reli?
ance in the report of the likelihood of
the organization of the Senate by the
populist and silver Senators. He says
the Senate will not be reorganized un?
til December 1S95, and by that time,
ii seems to him, the conservative repub?
lican and democratic Senators will be
wise enough to come to some arrange?
ment by which the populists will not
be factors in the organization of that
body. But, said he, all this is a matter
of the iuture, and upon it neither the
democratic Senators here nor any
where else have had any conference or
consultation.
A Capitol clerk just returned from
Texas, to which State he went to vote,
says the main causo of the small demo?
cratic vote there is located in the
White House. A distinguished U. S.
Senator, now here, when told of this to
day. said, well there were other causes
in my State, bnt that was the mam
one, and but for that the others would
have been ineffective.
Attorney General Olney has decided
that salt imported from Germany is
dutiable under the present tariff act.
It is said here that the rumors about
the attempt of the President to force
Secretary Carlisle to resign are without
the slightest foundation, and that the
fact is that Mr. Cleveland's relations
with the Secretary are closer than with
any other member of the Cabinet.
From present indications, if any Cabinet
officer shall resign, he will be Attorney
General Olney.
People from Laesburg, Virginia, here
to-day say the prohibition law will be
submitted to the voters there next
month, and that disinterested men there
say it will be adopted. They also say the
town is by no means too prosperous or
attractive now, but will be even less .'0
>f strangers who go there be prohibited
from getting a drink when they want
one. Of course, they say, the residenis
will not sutler, as they will get their
supplies in packages from this city or
Alexandria.
The President to-day designated As?
sistant Secretary Charles Sumner Ham
lin of the Treasury Department to act
for six months as Secretary of the Treat*
ury, in the absence of Secretary Carlisle
from the department. Secretary Car?
lisle to-day began the personal prepara?
tion of his annual report to Congress,
and during the writing of it, which will
require a week or ten days, will deny
himself to all visitors.
Among the visitors hereto day is Mr.
Oast of Norlolk, ex-U. S. supervising
inspector of steamboats at that city,
and a pronounced republican. He says
no less than eight thousand ballots were
thrown out in the Norfolk district at
the late election, and that Mr. Boreland,
the defeattd republican candidate, was
fairly elected and will be seated. Hi
does not say, however, that the reject?
ed ballots were not defective, aud that,
under the election law, they should not
have been thrown out.
Judge Nicol of the Virginia Circuit
Court, here to-day, says the election
law is an excellent law, and that it was
to secure perfectly fair elections that he
advocated it when he was a member of
the legislature of his State. It effectu?
ally does away with the use of money
for bribery at elections, prevents the
annoyance of voters on their way to
and at the polls, and affords every voter
an opportunity to cast just such a bal?
lot as may suit him.
It is known here that certain Wall
street bankers were informed a weeK
ago that a new issue of bonds would be
made, and they profited by that knowl?
edge to no small amount.
A prominent real estate agent here
says the President is a very rich man,
richer than anybody supposes, aud that
all his investments have been exceed?
ingly profitable. When Mr. Cleveland
came here two years ago he was a poor
man.
Senator Sherman says "events have
transpired since adjournment that may
cause much pressure in the direction of
silver legislation. The silver men in
this Congress are stronger just now than
they have been in the past and stronger,
as I view it, than they will be in the
future. The desire to force the issue
and the further wish, possibly, to em?
barrass the President by compelling him
to veto a free coinage bill, may be a
potent factor in controlling legislation."

THIS MORNING'S PROCEEDINGS.
Rev. T. S. Dunaway, presiding. Af?
ter devotional exercises, conducted by
the president and prayer by Prof. H.
H. Harris, a communication from the
Virginia students at the Baptist Theo?
logical Seminary, at Louisville, Ky
was received and the president was re?
quested to reply in suitable terms.
The report of the treasurer was read,
showing the amount of receipts dur?
ing the year from the twenty-three
district association for the six boards of
the General Association for the year
ending October 31,1894, to be $-30,000.
The chairman of the committee on
co-operation, J. B. Montgomery, read
the report. Said report shows that
the contributions were less than the
year previous, though there were many
causes for such loss, the hard times be
iutr tho main cause. The report also
suggested several Hues of work, and it
was discussed by Rev. E. W. Winfrey,
touching the work of the district asso?
ciations. He suggested more work by
these associations aud not so much de?
pendence to be put upon the visiting
brother. Information touching the
work of the board should be sought
and utilized by the members of the dis?
trict associations, and the visiting broth?
er, always welcomed, should not be
asked to give all his time to the dis?
cussion of the questions at the annual
meetiugs of the associations, but the
brethren comprising these district as
social ions should do the work and the
speaking.
Prof. Harris also spoke to the report,
being in favor of the suggestions there
made.
Dr. Hatcher, in referring to the re?
port, said that this body should be
careful not to neglect the work of the
Foreign Home Missions and Sunday
School work. He was in favor of
giving more time to the discussion of
these departments of the work.
Dr. Landrum, Dr. Owens, P. G.
Elson, G. E. Truitt, C. H. Ryland and
Dr. Willingham made addresses upon
the report.
Proi. Harris moved to amend the re?
port as follows "To restrict the work
of the Southern Baptist Convention to
one mass meeting during the session of
the General Association,].' which was
carried and report was then adopted.
Several visiting brothers were here
introduced. Revs. Smith and Swem,
of Washington city; Revs. Fields
Cook and W. D. Harris, colored, Dr.
Carson, pastor of the M. E. Church
South, ol this city.
Report of the State Mission Board
was read by Wm. Ellyson and showed
great progress in the work of the mis?
sionaries employed by that board, One
missionary has died upon the field,
Rev. A. M. Grimsley. Amount col?
lected for this board, for the year end?
ing Oct. 31, was $11,S74.19; amount ex?
pended by the board $11,101.46 num?
ber of missionaries employed 78. The
report was spoken to by Wm. Ellyson,
chairman of the board. He referred to
the work done and it shows an increase
all along the line. The contributions
are not ?s large as they were last year.
He-is afraid that the work would have
to be curtailed for the coming year. To
do this will necessitate great judgment
and care. Just where to cut down,
and the field to be left out in this curr
tailment is a question that now agitates
the committee. More applications are
coming to the committee than can pos?
sibly be met, as the amount in hand
wilfnot meet even half of the demands.
Dr. Cooper in very earnest words en?
dorsed the address of Mr. Ellyson, re?
ferring to the painful necessity of cut?
ting down the appropriations at least
one half. He also addressed the asso?
ciation upon the present methods and
plans of the board; and said that if the
time has come for a new departure this
was the place and he urged action now
if auch was desired.
Rev. John Hart was in favor of hav*
in a secretary who could give his whole
time to the work, as the time for it
had come.
Revr-F. B. Beale made an eloquent
appeal for Virginia's spiritual growth,
and closed with an earnest address in
favor of an increase all along the line of
this work.
Rev. M. L. "Wood addressed the pas?
tors and urged them to bring the press?
ing needs of the board to the people.
Rev. W. A. Gains, recently of South
Carolina, now located in the far west?
ern part of Virginia, was introduced
and made an interesting address upon
the work of the State Mission Board in
his part of the State.
Dr. Landrum, read a statement of
the work done by the State boards'
work in several other States Vir?
ginia stand first in contributions while
she reports fewer members. Dr. Cocke
urged the duty of the pastors in this
work. The report was theu accepted.
The chair announced the following
committees On education Dr. Lan?
drum, Edmund Harrison. 0. T. James,
L. G. Broughton, T. B. Thomas. On
