THE VIRGINIA ELECTION THIS YEAR, Democrats Actively Canvassing Already THE GOVERNORSHIP AND THE SENATORSHIP CON- TESTS—HOW A VIRGINIA CABINET APPOINTMENT ‘MAY CHANGE THE SLATE. ‘The prominent candidates for governor of Vir- ginla atthe coming election are Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Hon. John Goode, Mr. Walter R. Staples and Mr. Holmes Conrad. Theso will be prominent in the canvass on behalf of the democrats for the election of the next legislature, which will choose a Senator to succeed Gen. Mahone. The prominent candidates for U. 8. Senator are Hon, John §. Bar- bour, Hon. Jno. W. Daniel and Walter R. Staples; a1s0, John Goode, in case the two latter are not put up for goverhor, "The main contest will probably be between Barbour and Daniel and {t would, {tts thought, be a very close tight. Some of the democratic leaders hope that such a contest will be avolded by the appolutment of Air. Barbour as Postmaster General, Iv is understood that he would prefer to succeed Gen. Mahone in the Sen- ate, but Mr. Barbour has sald that if invited into the ebinet he would go, though he woula not do anything to seek such a position. Virginia demo- rats are anxious to secure the postmaster general- ship for their state in order to oust the numerous appointeesof Mahone in that service in their state. Barbour and Gen. Hunton are spoken of, aud doth have backing. Friends of Gen. Hunton are ardently ‘supporting Barbour for, the seuatorial succession with the view that if that can be secured to him the way for Hunton to the cabinet will be clear, in the event that the Postmaster General should be chosen from Virginla. Mr. Barbours t= Urement from the presidency of the Midland rall- road is ‘regarded as sigaiicant by a good many. ‘The theory 1s that Mr. Cieveland would not want to choose a ratiroad president as one of his cabluct, and that perheps Mr. Barbour had some intina Uon of his selection as one of the nex” President's counselors, and therefore he laid down his railroad office. Under the new election law, which places the election machinery in the hands of the demo- crats, the latter have no fear as to the result of the next election. ‘THE NEW BLECTION LAW. In response to a request of a Stan reporter for an explanation of the new election law of Vinginta and its status, Senator Riddleberger sald: “The election Jaw of last, winter changed the mode of appointing registrars and judges of elec- ton. ‘These officers had theretofore been ap- Fointed by the, judzes of the county and corpora tion courts, The new law provided for their up- polntment by a bourd chosen by the general as- sembly, and fixed a freehold qualltication. The law went Into execution, the boards were elected, and these, in turn, appolited the judges and regis: trars of election.” ‘The court of appeals deciued this law unconstitutional, because the Constitu- tion says, in terms, that thé right of suffrage shall Rot be abndged éxcept for participation in rebel- Hon, or on conviction of stich crimes as are known as {¢lonles at common law; and again, that all qual- {fed voters shall be qualified to hold any office. It 1s clear that failure to hold realty tsnelther participa~ tion tn rebellion nor a felony at common law, Ivis equally as well understood that a qualification of Suffrage cannot be fixed by statute. It must be done by the Constitution. Since then, at a called session, the law Was enacted without ‘the freehold qualification. ‘Tiais, too, is to be tested in the court of appeals, on the ground, mainly, that our constitution provides that all acts and joint resolu- tions shall be submitted to the governor for bls ap- Droval, It was by joint resolution that the act was be carried into effect, and this was sent direct to the secretary of the coimonwealth, Instead of the governor. ‘The legisiature adjourned,the same day, a8 I understand, and could not correct thelr error, 4 they believed they had committed one, The qualification to ‘read and write’ 1s held by some to be as violative of the Constitution as that of the freehold, because tt, 13 only for participation in re- bellion and conviction of feiouy that suifrage can be abridged. Our state constitution has undergone hho change th respect to suffrage sinew its adoption, except in 1875-6, to put the capitation qualifica Uion into 1t, and in 184081, to repeal It. ‘The whole question tins upon the’ constitutional qualiiies- of suffrage.” ———_-o-___—. ‘News Briefs.
