ALLEN BREAKS THE RECORD, He Talks With Little Intermission for Nearly Fifteen Hours. STRANGE DAYLIGHT SCENES. The night session of the Senate was a Pecullar one. Senator Allen took the floor at 6:15 in the afternoon, and without any interruptions, except such as were purely incidental, he had the floor all night. He Proved himself an able and indefatiga- ble talker. At no time did his voice fail him and even when the clerk was calling the roll to secure a quorum, he stood erect and ready to proceed with his remarks. Not for one moment did he falter; not for one moment did he lose his self-possession; mot for one moment did he show that he was talking against time. Clad in a dark sult, his collar being adorned with a black tle, In the oppressive atmosphere of the Senate, he did not weaken for an instant, but with great vigor elucidated his finan- ¢lal views. Although he was talking against time, he was listened to with attention by the Senators present. During the early part of the evening the Galleries were packed to repletion, and they remained so until about 2 o'clock. Then they began to lose their occupants, but several hundred persons remained, including two ladies who had been in the gallery since 10 o'clock. The freshest man on the floor Was the speaker, Mr. Allen. Mr. Voorhees was entirely worn out. He would occasion- ally take a book in his hand, but his head would soon fall upon his chest and his eyes would close in slumber. Other Senators, Martyr's to the Cause. who desired to refresh themselves with sleep, retired to the comfortable lounges in the cloak room, or still more comfortable lounges in the committee rooms. But Mr. Voorhees, in the performance of his duty, was compelled to remain in the hall without rest. Probably never before in the history of the United States legislature was there ever seen such an exhibition of physical endurance as that shown by Senator Allen. He concluded his speech on the stroke of 8 o'clock, having thus been on the floor for fourteen’ and three-quarter hours. During that time he occasionally sipped from a cup of tea, but this was his only nourishment, ‘When'he finished his eyes were as clear, his voice was as strong, his gestures were as vigorous as when he took the floor. His respites were few, and when he sent to the clerk to have read certain excerpts; but even then he remained upon his feet, with- out the slightest evidence of fatigue, Breaks the Record. Mr. Allen's speech breaks all previous records, and his powers of endurance won for him the admiration of those who were opposed to his tacties. Prior to this,Senator Faulkner was the record breaker, he having held the floor for thirteen hours during the long debate on the force bill. The condi- tions then were entirely different. Fully two-thirds of Mr. Faulkner's time was spent in his seat resting, while efforts were being made to secure a quorum. Before that time h within the recollection ‘bout ten hours’ duration and was delivered by Garrett Davis of Ken- tucky, during the reconstruction period. During the first twelve hours of the “‘tes' ending with 6 o'clock this morning, there were just an even dozen calls of the Senate, Lut it was not until 2 o'clock that Senators began to respond in a sleepy and reluctant manner. The calls toward morning came at more frequent intervals, and Senators began to show the effect of broken naps and dis- turbed slumbers. The Strain Tells. At 7 o'clock the scene in the chamber was an interesting one. Senator Voorhees, Vilas and Faulkner were in close conversation, their gestures occasionally taking the shape of vigorous rubbing of eyes and the faintest suspicion of yawning. Mr. Morgan looked as fresh as if he had just stepped from a bath tub, and was putting in the time dis- cussing a constitutional question of some sort with Mr. Platt. The seats on both sides of the chamber were conspicuous for their vacancy; but the silver men were on the alert, their interests being guarded by Senators Dubois, Teller, Power, Shoup, Pet- tigrew and Wolcott. ‘Whether it was the result of the confe- rence between Senators Voorhees, Faulkner and Vilas or not cannot be said, but it 1s nevertheless a fact that at about 7 o'clock the repeal men, through Mr. Faulkner, sug- gested to the silver men that a recess be taken in order that Senators might get thirty winks and breakfast, but the proposition A Determined Attitude. was spurned by the silverites, who replied that if the present proceeding was to be a test It must be one in every sense of the word. Then the Senate settled down to the jnevitable, and soon after Mr. Shoup broke in upon Mr. Allen, who showed no signs of ever ceasing with the biunt remark, “No quorum, Mr. President.” This oli cail developed the fact that Senator Lodge at least had solved the difticulty, for when his name was called Mr. Perkins sald he was paired with the Senator from Massachusetts for three hours. That meant 9 o'clock; and when that hour arrived. Mr. Lodze had re- repared for the york. turned, Drepargte Liked It. ‘A hearty laugh was enjoyed by the Sen- ate about 7:30 at the expense of Mr. Wol- cott. Mr. Allen had dropped his extem- Poraneous speaking and was reading the Peroration of his speech. It was a polished effort; and Mr. Wolcott, who had becn at his desk for some time preoccupied with something that had diverted his attention, suddenly arose and sald: “May I the Senator from what he is reading?” “ slight production of my own,” replied Mr. Allen; whereat the Senate, quick to catch the humor of the situation, broke into a hearty and rather un-seaatorial guffaw. Mr. Wolcott was evidently taken aback and embarrassed when he saw the blunder he had made. “I liked it extremely,” said he, “and was anxious to know what it was.” ‘These were-some of the incidents attending the first night and the early hours of the second day of prolonged struggle. The air was thick with the mists of an early fall morning and the daylight strug- gled with difficulty through the ground glass panels of the ceiling. But, feeble as it was, it still afforded a welcome relief from the glare of gaslights, and seemed to exercise a revivifying influence upon the wearted Solons, although their faces showed the unhealthy gray tint that betokened long and severe mental and physical strain. Mr. Voorhees raliied notably and Mr. Hill look- ed as if he were capable of a campaign of indefinite length. Mr. Smith of New Jersey also looked fresh, and the venerable Palmer Material for a Quorum. gave an earnest of his purpose to stick it out for three years if necessary, as he had declared last night, by the cheerfulness with which he remained at the front. Mr. Harris of Tennessee was still as alert as of yore, and it was a noticeable fact that the elder Senators, who had been expected to first show signs of distress, were holding out with a show of vigor that their juniors emulated with ill success. About 9 o'clock Mr. Sherman appgared and signalized his return to the floor by asking whether his vote had been recorded on the Peffer amendment, and, receiving an affirmative answer, settled back in his seat and turned to his correspondence, A Morning Incident. It was not until 8 o'clock this morning that there was any trouble arising from the absence of Senators or their failure to vote. At that hour a quorum was not present and a few minutes later, when Mr. Voorhees made a motion to lay on the table the Pef- fer resolution to amend the bill, the Senate was for some time embarrassed by the fail- ure of a quorum to respond to their names. Then came up the most interesting inci- dent of the prolonged session—the attempt, at the instigation of Mr. Vilas, to make Mr. Dubois vote. In accordance with the rules, Mr. Dubois was required to make an excuse, which he did by complaining that there was irregularity in the transfer of Senator Palmer and the Tired Feeling pairs, and that Mr. Peffer had not been al- lowed to make an explanation of his amend- ment before the vote was taken to lay it on the table. The Senate, by a vote of 21 to 29, refused to excuse him, yet he refused to re- spond to his name when called, and there was no way to compel him to vote. The vote to table the Peffer resolution was an- nounced—8 yeas to 17 nays, A quorum hav- ing arrived, Mr. Peffer at once reintro- duced his ‘amendment, and Mr. Martin then took the floor for regular debate. Mecca for Visitors, During the long night session the Capitol was the Mecca of a large proportion of Washington's citizens. They began the pilgrimage immediately after dinner, and by 5:30 o'clock the gal- leries of the Senate were comfortably filled, Every moment added to the crowd, and at 6 o'clock the doorkeepers of all the galleries were obliged to close the portals and admit no more. Then the corridors began to choke, and in a few moments lines had to be formed. At the doors of the men’s gallery, on the southwest corner, the lines extended far along the halls fifty'and sixty deep. By 6:30 there were twice as many men and women in the corridors as had secured the coveted places. ‘The galleries were a mass of black to- ward the west and on the east they gave a glow of variegated color. Disappointed seekers after seats endeavor- ed to find influences sufficient to squeeze them into the reserved galleries, Senators with passes to give away were hunted ut and distributed their favors warily. A deal of ill-nature was displayed at one of the western galleries on the part of some of those who could not gain admission, But the prompt appearance of a couple of policemen soon quelled the disturbance, Senators Relax. ‘The Senators soon lost their air of dig- nity when the tension of the preliminary A Midnight Meal. proceeded to find convenient hiding places for the night, from which they could not be roused on roll calls too easily. ‘The cloak rooms were filled and Senators todk turns at the sofas, Orders for mid- night lunches were given early in the even- ing, and from 10 o'clock on to morning waiters were kept busy running up and down stairs with trays filled with tempting dishes for the palates of the unwilling pris- oners in the legislative net. Senator Hoar was on hand early with a huge new eye shade, which fitted neatly just under his expansive forehead and made him resemble a bicycle rider wearing a white skul! cap with a brown visor. He had a good deal of trouble during the m ing when he came to the problem of vote or not to vote.” ‘to His pair bothered him and he alternately voted and withdrew his vote until it was a toss of the penny whether he was a member of the quorum or not. Morning Hours. By half-past 6 the light of the morning began to trickle through the glass roof of the Senate chamber and to mingle with the sMumination of the electric lamps. This combination fell upon a very demoralized apartment, The floor was strewn with torn papers and the dignified neatness #0 com- mon to the Senate was gone. At this time Senator Wolcott suggested to Mr. Black- burn, who was in the chair, that there was no quorum. He got a quorum and five over, but It was a very sleepy looking lot of statesmen who responded to their names. ‘The margin of safety was melting. Cat naps were in order in the chamber. Senator Gallinger slumbered until his neck was in danger of dislocation. Senator Gray ventured to take a somnolent advantage of one of Mr. Allen's references to a news- paper clipping. But he soon awoke and be- came active once more in his little trips into the camp of the enemy. The Vice President, who had been resting for some hours, returned to the chalr. Early Consultations. As soon as the roll call was finished Sen- ator Teller called his leutenants, Senators Dubois and Pettigrew, to a brief conference under the clock. Mr. Power joined the group, and in a moment Senators Wolcott and Morgan had come up, and the six heads were laid close together while the leader laid down his instructions for the morning. Senator Peffer sat a persistent member of the quorum throughout the early hours. But he was so disguised that few recog- nized him. He had buttoned his Prince Al- bert coat tight up to his throat. His long whiskers were carefully tucked within, un- til the startling thought flashed through the brains of the spectators that he had suf- fered hjs flowing beard to be trimmed. Sofas and easy chairs in the cloak rooms were at a high premium, and Senator Hig- gins was forced to accept the courtesy of the chamber itself. So he stretched himself on a sofa on the republican side and slept the sleep of a member of the quorum for an hour or more. A Recess Proposed. ‘It was evident at 7 o'clock that there was Something stirring under the surface in the Senate. Senator Wolcott, immediately after the conference of the silver leaders, plunged at once into the preparation of a document which he wrote rapidly with his left hand. He submitted it to Mr. Teller and then disappeared. In a minute or two Mr. Teller beckoned Mr. Faulkner from a group of democratic Senators and put his lips close to the West Virginian’s ear. Then Mr. Faulkner drifted back to a con- ference with Senators Voorhees and Vilas, and they talked earnestly for fifteen or twenty minutes. There were rumors of a recess to be taken for two hours and these conferences were to that end. They failed, however, in their purpose. Senator Gordon at about 7 o'clock grew 80 weary that he took a short nap on one of the sofas. The high arm of the lounge afforded no rest to the tired head. So the ‘lan sent a page for a number of old newspapers and wadded them up into an improvised pillow. Then he went on with his nap. Lights Out. The lights over the ceiling of the Senate chamber were extinguished at about 7 o'clock and the yellowish tone that had overspread things gave place to a dull gray pall. Senators did but little reading and seemed disposed to spend their time in resting. Mr. Hawley, however, had a good time all by himself over a new novel. The keenness with which the silver men are watching the vote was shown when Senator Teller Explains. Senator Irby entered the chamber at about 8 o'clock. Senator Peffer immediately crossed over and button-holed the farmer statesman from South Carolina, explaining to him the importance of voting on the Proposition to table the Peffer amendment. So. Mr. Irby cast a negative ballot. But the question of a quorum was trembling in the balance and Senator Wolcott almost ran across the chamber to call Mr. Irby off. He explained that silence was not golden, but silver, and Mr. Irby announced that as he had a pair with Senator Carey he would withdraw his vote. LAST NIGHTS PROCEEDINGS. Senator Allen's All-Night Speech Punctuated by Calls for a Quorai At 6:05 o'clock last evening the test of physical endurance in the Senate was in- augurated. At that hour, while Mr. Allen ‘was speaking, Mr. Dubois (Idaho) rose, and, by his leave, suggested that it was past the hour when the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) usually made a motion to adjourn. He asked that Senator whether he desired to submit that motion this even- ing. “I feel it my highest duty,” said Mr. Voor- hees, “not to make that motion this even- Ing, but, on the contrary, to ask the Senate to sit in continuous session until the pend- ing measure is disposed of.” During this proceeding the seats of Sena- tors were being filled by accessions from committee rooms and cloak rooms—even Mr. Colquitt (Ga.) being wheeled to his seat on his invalid chair. The Silver Men's Deflance. In reply to this challenge Mr. Dubois, speaking for the opponents of repeal, said that sufficient time had not been allowed Swer to their names, and Mr. Allen con- tinued. Mr. Dubois thought’ at 2:40 that It was time to demand a quorum and fifty Sena- tors responded. Mr. Allen resumed his remarks, but he had not proceeded for more than five min- utes when Mr. Daniel raised the point of [Be quorum. “aed na time but aap toe ators responded and Mr. Allen, as fresh as ever, proceeded. The Early Morning. Between 3:45 and 4 o'clock two calls for @ quorum were demanded, one by Mr. Du- bois and one by Mr. Daniel. Both devel- oped a quorum, but there was not much to spare on the latter one—but forty-six Sen- ators responding. Halt-past four was the hour when Mr. Wolcott thought there should be a quorum present and the committee rooms being in- vaded by pages, forty-eight Senators were induced to answer “here.” wAt 5 om. Mr. Allen still held the floor, and as Not apparently fatigued though he had been speaking for nearly twelve hours. At five minutes before 5 o'clock Mr. Kyle Suggested that there was no quorum. For- ty-seven Senators were present. At 560 Mr. Dubois again demanded a quorum and forty-five Senators replied. ——_-e—_____ POLICE COURT PROCESSION. Sentences Today on a Large Namber of Charges. Today was a bad day in the Police Court cells for the victims of intemperance who were out last night, and whose nerves were far from their normal condition this morn- ing, for there was an insane colored man in one of the cells, and his shrieks and shouts could be heard in all parts of the building. ‘There were thirty prisoners in the cells, and many of them were in because of having bended their elbow a little too often. Some resulted from protracted sprees, while oth- ers were in because of one night's indul- gence. They appealed to the keeper to re- imove the man to some other place, but there being no house of detention provided for such unfortunates, the keeper could do nothing other than hold the man, and the prisoners were compelled to listen to the piteous cries and appeals of the insane man. In the cell with the unfortunate man were several other pi ers, and they were Senator Allen Reads Authorities. for debate, and after an earnest protest against the application of the test proposed added: “If you have concluded to abandon ap- peals to reason and judgment, and to risk the settlement of this great question to the test of which side can stand the most punishment, we desire to give notice now that we shall protect our side in every way possible. We will insist that you furnish the quorum and that you keep it constantly in the chamber, even if it necessitates in- numerable roll calls. We will not aid you in this or anything else which will tend to prolong the struggle and the discomfort of all. The responsibility for what 1s to fol- low must rest with you, as well as its physi- cal effects upon individual Senators.” After considerable discussion upon this Une, which was participated in by Senators Voorhees, Dubois, Harris and Butler, and after Senator Dolph had charged the dem- ocrats with inconsistency by recalling the filibustering against the force bill in 1591, the episode introducing the continuous ses- sion closed and Mr. Allen resumed the floor 4:30 a.m.—The Only One of Her Kind. and proceeded with his argument. He had scarcely begun before Mr. Palmer interrupt- ed to ask whether it was his view of duty to resist a vote on the passage of the bill until the majority submitted to do some- thing else. Mr. Allen replied that so long as he could do so within the pale of the law he would do so. ‘That {s frank,” comment- ed Mr. Palmer. The First Call for 2 Quorum. Mr. Dubois, at 8.15 o'clock, called atten- tion to the absence of a quorum, and the roll was called. At first the silver repre- sentation Senators failed to answer, but seeing that Senators came flocking into the chamber in numbers that assured a quorum, they stood up and responded to their names. The result was the attendance of sixty-two Senators. cuses were made for the absence of Mr. Sherman and Mr. Mitchell of Oregon on account of illness in their families, and for Messrs. Wilson, Col- quitt, Morrill and Gibson on account of physical disability. Then Mr. Allen again took up the thread of his argument. ‘Another demand for a quorum came from Mr. Dubois at 12:45 and again the doors of the cloak rooms opened and fifty-four Sen- ators showed that they. were present. At 2:15 Senator Danfel suggested that there was no quorum, but from the cloak Tooms emerged fifty-three Senators to an- j tomake a bulky package. very uncomfortable, ‘for fear that the bois- terous prisoner's trouble would assume a viele oo ed 14 the first proces- Vhen court opens an 1c sion started toward Judge Kimball's place of delivering justice there was a sense of relief to those who were fortunate enough to be among the first called. Isaac brown, a young colored man, was in the lead when’ the court room was reached, and the charge against him was “sus- picion.”” “I arrested the prisoner in South Washing- ton last night,” said the officer. “He had tobacco cutter that he wanted to sell for a quarter. When I first arrested him he said his name was Eddie Brown, then he said It was Ferguson, and when he reached the station he gave his name as Isaac Brown.” Mrs. Brown, mother of the boy, appeared and told the ‘court that she was owner of the tobacco cutter. “Did you give your boy permission to dispose of it en ‘Ena’ 8, sir,” she replied. “I told to sell it a long time ago.” What is his name?” “I gave him the name ‘Ellick’,” she re- plied, “but the boys call him Isaac for short. You know how boys is.” “Dismissed. Had Ten Head. At the intersection of Delaware and New Jersey avenues southwest last evening a crowd of persons gathered to witness the meeting between Susan Barnes, a respect- able colored woman, and her son Walter. The woman was apparently endeavoring to correct the boy, and Policeman Cowen re- sponded to cries of “Police.” Walter and his little brother had some trouble earlier in the evening, and when his mother started to thrash him he ran from the house. “I'm a lone widow,” she said to the judge. “My husband died ten years ago, leaving me ten head of children, and I ain't got one child who will hit me.” ‘The officer sald he saw the boy strike his mother. Lawyer Moss argued that the woman was ignorant, and if the court did not sustain the mother in an honest endeavor to cor- rect her child he could not tell what would become of the boy. Judge Kimball told the woman that she had no right to correct ’ er children in the street. ‘The boy was cle rly guilty, but as the mother would have » pay the'fine he would take the persor 1 bonds of both mother and son this tims A Foll H Five South Washingto on a charge of vagran Herbert and Espey wer them. , “They are bar room loafers and va- grants,” said the officer. “There is a saloon corner of 6th and K streets, kept by a man named Reeves, who sells a whole bucket of beer for five cents, All the week they hang about this corner, and on Sundays they shoot crap all day. ‘Do you ever catch them at it?” ‘Oh, no! You can never get near them when they are engaged in a game. Policeman Herbert was next sworn, and he told of how the crowd collected five or ten cents and then rushed the large sized “growler.” He said that there was a room in the rear of the saloon where these men are permitted to loaf. This room, he said, is kept locked. “Did you ever see anything wrong in there?” aa, negroes apepared *, and Policemen witnesses against sir, but there was a fight in the place Saturday night.” “Wouldn't you rather have them in the room than out on the streets?" asked Law- yer Sillers. ‘o, sir, because we can’t see what ras- cality’ is going on. They may be shooting crap or gambling at some other game. Something has got to be done down there or people will not be able to pass that cor- ner in a short while.” “Bread and stuff has been stolen about there,” said Officer Espey, “and it’s just such men as these who do “The authorities license these places,” re- marked Officer Sellers, “and there are a thousand such places as this in South Washington. I've been in that section, and have seen the crowds on the corners. “And it's a disgrace to that section,” added the court. ‘The defendants made statements in their own behalf, claiming that they were work- ing men. Counsel argued that the men had made a good showing, and said that these men visited bar rooms in the evenings because they could not go to better places. They could not go to Nbraries and other places of refined amusement, argued counsel. “It is their unfortunate condition,” he said. Judge Kimball said that these bar rooms were not to be made loafing places. These gangs, he said, must be broken up. Two of the men were released on their person: bends and the others were given three days each. The judge sald he imposed this short sentence merely to warn the men to change their course of living. “Guilty,” was the plea of a young man who gave his name as Nelson Monroe. “He has been loitering about the navy yard for several days,” said Officer Evans, “He says he is from ‘Hartford, Conn., and yesterday I found him about’ one of the saloons. “Fifteen days.” —— Disorderly Assay A good-looking colored girl, named Eliza Tutt, who lives at the home of her father on Samson street, was a prisoner in Judge Miller's court this morning. There were two charges against her. They were dis- orderly conduct and assault on Policeman Mahl. The officer arrested her at her home last night, and she refused to submit to the arrest’and go quietly to the police sta~ tion. A struggle was the result, and the officer was pulled about the room and his badge torn from his coat. Besides getting his clothing soiled, he sustained no damage. ‘The woman claimed that the officer clubbed her, and showed a bruise on her head. For the assault a fine of $25 or sixty days was imposed, and the usual $5 fine was imposed in the disorderly conduct case, SSS Had No Light. Policeman Doyle of the third pyecinct made a case last night. His victim vir- tually surrendered to him. William Res- pers, a young colored man, a stranger in the ‘city, was the victim. ‘He was riding a bicycle without a light and the officer came near walking against him. Ignorance of the law was no excuse and the young man was compelled to remain locked up all night. This morning when he appeared in idge Kimbali’s court he was released with a warning to observe the law in the future.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN. Efforts to Get Prominent Democrats to ‘The Managers Are After Bourke Cock- ran and Senator Hill—Populists Are Fighting Hard—Reforms Promised. Correspondence of The Star, RICHMOND, Va., October 12, 1893. Now that the bill repealing the federal election laws has been disposed of by the House of Representatives, Virginia will be invaded by a small army of political ora- tors, both democrats and populists, who, in addition to the already long list of speak- ers now in the state, will make the cam- paign a red-hot field of contest. The state committees of both parties have secured the promises of a large num- ber of Congressmen from all over the country to come down here and whoop up things for their respective parties. The man whom the democrats are most anxious to get for this purpose is Mr. Bourke Cock- ran of New York, and it is said that he has made a partial promise to make one speech in Richmond. If the great Tammany orator decides definitely to come'the democratic managers will make the occasion one of the grandest rallies in the history of Virginia politics. Another interesting feature in this con- nection is a movement said to be on foot to induce Senator Hill to lend his voice in be- half of the democratic cause in at least one speech. Hill has quite a number of ad- mirers in Virginia. It is believed, though, that the New York Senator and Col. O’Fer- rall are not on the most cordial terms. This grows out of the speech made in the. House by the democratic candidate for governor in the Rockwell-Noyes contested election case, in which he criticised Mr. Hill. Despite the strange relations between these two gentlemen, some of the demo- cratic managers would be glad to have the senior New York Senator come down here and make a speech. No outside speaker who could be introduced would do so much to arouse enthusiasm among the free silver democrats in Virginia as he. It is not likely, though, that Col. O’Ferrall will ex- tend any such invitation to Senator Hill. Hill and Daniel, if they would speak from the same stump, would be greeted by larger crowds than have ever attended any political gathering in this state for the past dozen years. Daniel is popular with all classes in Virginia, and the New York Sen- ator has a following equaled only by that of Mr. Cleveland himself. It will be remembered that Virginia sent half of her delegation to Chicago in "82 in the interest of the New York Senator for the presidential nomination. Then, too, Senator Daniel is a warm personal friend of Hill, and that the gifted Daniel is a fa- vorite in the Old Dominion goes without saying. It was largely through his in- fluence that the New York statesman made such a good showing before the democratic convention. Hiil or Cockran would @raw an immense crowd in Virginia, and would, no doubt, help the democratic cause considerably. The Populist Side. ‘The populists are making a lively fight in the state and are leaving no stone unturned to elect their ticket. It is conceded that they are well supplied with funds to carry on the fight, and with the assistance of several populist leaders of other states are effecting organizations throughout the state. Serious lack of organization has been the great drawback to the populists and was the primeval cause of their poor showing in Virginia a year ago. The leaders, however, are profiting by this palpable defeat in the Presidential election last fall. They are sending men and money into every county in the state, especially in tidewater and the southwest, and organizing county and dis- trict committees. This move will have its effect in the election on the 7th of next month. The populists claim that their organiza- tion is a thorough one, and boast of the heavy vote they will poli with their farmer candidate for the governorship. ‘Their whole campaign is being conducted on the silver plank of their platform, and all their speakers dwell upon this question and say that the democrats are with them, or rather that they are the Jeffersonian democrats, and that the present democratic party has left them. Some of them €ven go so far as to call themselves Andrew Jackson-Jeffer- sonian democrats. A gentleman of this city was today asked by the populist party organization to accept the nomination for the position of member of the house of delegates, but said he had to decline the honor, as he had participated in the Gemecratic primary recently held in is city. A short time ago it was reported by one of Mahone's henchmen that the general would have a republican ticket in the field five weeks before the election. The election is just four weeks off and no such ticket has yet made its appearance. The leading Populists claim a large part of the white republican vote, but the democrats claim that they will countéract this by a large gain in the colored vote. Reforms in the Air. There is a strong determination on the Part of the democratic leaders in the state to make some radical changes in the pres- ent system of election laws. They insist that the McCormick-Anderson law is a just and fair one, and the change which is proposed to be made will be brought about by an entirely different cause. Ever since the democrats were restored to power in this state, in 1SS3, it has required lange sums of money to conduct their campaigns. The leaders admit this, and will propose Some innovations which promise to mini- mize the cost of future political contests. The plan likely to be adopted is the Aus- tralian ballot system. That is favored by some of the most prominent democratic managers in the state, and it is probable it will be brought up at the coming session of the legislature. Two years ago Senator Barbour favored that plan before the legis- lature. The proposition was presented to the Senate by Mr. Barbour’s personal rep- resentative, but it was never acted although it was favorably received. This is one of the most important measures to be considered by the next legislature, and is figuring prominently in the campaign, the speakers of both parties frequently referring to it in their speeches, Another important measure to come be- fore the next legislature, the members of which will be chosen at ‘this election, is a railroad bill. The farmers will insist’ upon this, and if that element should control the body some radical measure restricting Vir- ginia railroad corporations will be Maj. R. C. Kent, the champion of this movement in the past two or three legis- Jatures, is now the democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. Even if that gentle- man is not elected to the office to which he aspires he will not be a member of the body, and thus the cause will greatly suffer, for no other man in Virginia is so peculiar- ly equipped to promote railroad reform. Nevertheless, there will be enough probably to press the matter at least. ——.— Just to Catch the Train. John Green, the colored man who once got in trouble through his alleged fraudu- lent transactions concerning the employ- ment of persons in the Pullman car sery- ice, was in trouble again yesterday, but today he gained his freedom. Not satisfied with his former prisop sentence, he appear- ed here this week wearing a blue vest, on Which was a row of nickel buttons.” He iso wore a lady’s white outing cap, on. which was inscribed in ink: “Pullman Palace Service “U. , Porter.” He had been seen talking with young men of his own color, and Detectives Lacey and Quinlan arrested him on suspicion that he was at his old tricks again. He had attempted to collect money from persons by claiming to represent the Pullman com- pany, so it was then charged. But this time the officers could get no such case on him, and his hearing was on @ charge of being @ suspicious person. “I am on my way to Florida,” he said. “I have a railroad ticket in my pocket.” The ticket proved to be a 10-cent rebate. But he had money, which he said he would spend for a ticket, as he wanted to return to his home in Richmond. “When will you leave?” “Just as soon as you give me a chance.” «When does the train leave?” “It leaves at 10:57." “You have just enough time to catch that train,” said the judge; “you may go, and. you had better hurry. “Thank you, judge,” said the man, and he disappeared. ——>—__ Razors and Fines. George Wolf, charged with having about his person two razors and a pistol, was sentenced to thirty days in jail by Judge Miller today. Judge Kimball today disposed of the case of W. B. Dalrymple, superintendent of the sanitary company’s stable, against whom a charge of cruelty to animals was tried some days ago. A fine of $10 was imposed.
