NEW YORK AND VIRGINIA.
The Ohio election havingbeen set
tled, public interest now centres on
New York and Virginia, in both of
which an active campaign is being
Carried on. In both; States the lead -ers
of each party claim to be confi
dent of victory, but sensible people
do , not Attach much importance to
ante-election claims.i Nevf York is, a
peculiar State,; very peculiar, and al
ways m presents I entanglements and
complications ' enough to1 leave " the
politicians in doubt as' to the possible
outcome.; ,Outsi4 Qf JiTew YorkcityJ
Brooklyn; and adjacent towns, the
State ' is not only Eepublican, but
very strongly , so, ': the1 majorities
ranging from 25-000 to 50,000 or more
according to the issues involved, and
the popularity of the respective x can
didatesjThe hope of the Democracy
is always in the cities above referred
to. A full. : and united Democratic
vofe in these ' makes the State' , sure
for the - Democrats. But the trouble
is that this vote is usually an ,uncer
tain factor on account of the corrupt
leadership of the rival factions, who,
bent : upon1 their own success and
gain, are open to bargain and trade,,
and would at any time sell a State or
national ticket for f local - success.
Right here the trouble lies with t the
Democratic State ticket in the ap
proaching election., The factions are
squabbling. They have several tick
ets in the field, Tammany has appar
ently been snowed under, and it is
only a question of how many votes
will be traded by one or the other of
tne 'factions' to the Republicans for
their State ticket in: return for Re
publican votes for the local tickets.
There is no estimating what the in
dependent or f so-called Mugwump
strength' is in the State, which it is
claimed, and probably ;did,. give
Cleveland the State by the small ma
jority whicn he had, but whatever it
is, it may be safely . counted ? on "as
sold, or nearly so, for the Republican
ticket,1 so that if the Democrats win
they must' depend upon themselves,
and win by a straighout vote. It is
saiu loat una ouuwarbxvepuuiicau, .
who were the friends of Folger when
he was so terribiy beaten by Cleve
land in 1882, will not support Davens
port, i who . did not support FoK
ger, but if. ... this "is so : they
are not saying much about it nor
taking any open course to beat him.
As the situation presents itself to us,
Mr. Hill must not count much on
Republican defection, and must de
pend for his success upon the support
which he ' recieves from Democrats
proper without any side aid. Whether
he can hold the New York and Brook
lyn factions solid and loyal is one of
"the things which remains to be seen,
and one of the things which he nor
any one else just now, can affirm
positively. Viewed" through our
glasses just now, to say the least of it
New York is a very doubtful' State,
much-more so than Virginia, where
Mahone Is making an able and des
perate fight, and which the Republi
cans hope to carry. The Democracy
of Virginia is united. Fitzhugh Lee
is making a splendid campaign,
which will call out a large vote
and a large vote " means a Democratic
victory. - - ' ' V
The New York World quotes the
following as an evidence that Mr.
Thoman, of the civil service commis
sion, is a model Reformer: "Not
long ago he purchased ' a, house in
Washington City with fraudulent
Indiana bonds. Me now refuses to
make restitution upon the ground
that he paid out .the bonds in good
faith and they were accepted after
due examination. If ' a man should
purchase a house with counterfeit
money he would hardly be permitted
to set up such a plea as this."

-.Miss Bayard, daughter of the
Secretary of State, who prides herself
on her equestrienneship, came near
killing herself, : a few evenings ago,
by a foolhardy attempt to ride down
a precipitous bank on the suburbs of
Washington. When a few feet from
the top of the bank, which' is 'sixty
feet 4eep to a : creek' below, and so
steep hat pedestrians climb it with,
difficulty, the horse stumbled and
fell. ,phe would have - been crushed
under the horse had not her riding
habitifortunateJy caught on the pum
mel of the saddle. .. The horse regained
his feet and made his way back to
the top, just as the young lady's
father who followed her from the
hoteLnear by. arrived and rescued
her, - not much damaged : but with
much tattered garments: Not long
ago a man slightly intoxicated missed
his footing and was killed in attempt
ing to'wlk down that sa'me' bank!

say that Mahone is making the big
gest effort of his life in this' campaign
to carrf the Legislature and secure
his re election to thec; Senate v and
warn the Democrats that' if ; they
would beat him they must work and
poll a big vote On election day. : Billy

Persons whose knowledge of Vir
ginia and West, Virginia- datesvfrom
a period fifteen years , past can form
an idea how much 'they are behind
the times by taking a trip , over the
Chesapeake and Ohio jRaiiroad from
Newport News to the Ohio River.
They will experience their . first sur-.
prise perhaps, in learning that in Au
gust of the present year ? fifty-six
vessels were loaded at Newport News
and Richmond with New River and
Great Kanawha coals the quantity
taken being 38,483 tons, and. their
wonderment .will not be diminished
at the statement that the quantity of
semi-bituminous coal that will Jbe
conveyed to market this year by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad is es-
timated at 650,000 tons: The supply
is obtained in great part from the
New River coal field, where there are
now thirteen collieries in operation.
At the Quinnimont, Stone Cliff, Echo,'
Fire Creek; Sewell, Nutall and; Fay
ette collieries there are coke ;ovens
which prepare fuel for the many large
iron furnaces -b'lilt in the last few
years along the Chesapeake and Ohio
and its connections. The product is
remarkable fcr its light percentage
of ash,- sulphur and phospnorus, and
is becoming a formidable rival of the
famous Connellsville coke. AH the
New River collieries are said to be
busy, and at many of them steps are
being taken to increase the output.
The workings are being extended,
and in several instances branch line3
of railroad of some length are being
constructed to coal properties back
from the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road. The Shenandoah Valley, the
Richmond and . Alleghany and the
Norfolk and Western have each a
similar story to tell of large industries
well established in districts which a
few years ago were mere backwoods.
It Should be Generally Known
That the multitude of diseases of a scrofulous na
ture generally proceed from a torpid condition of
the liver. The blood becomes impure because the
liver does not act properly and work 03 the poison
from the system, and the certain results are
blotches, pimples, eruptions, swelling, tumors,
ulcers,! and kindred affections, or settling upon
the lungs and poisoning their delicate tissues, un
til ulceration, breaking down,-and consumption Is
established. Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Dis
covery" will, by acting upon the liver and purifying
the blood, cure all these diseases.
