Aw-Linjag Up for Fall Eleotions: PROSPECT OF REPUBLICAN SUCCESS E ary | Democrat Who Has Great Faith in President McKiriley. ie x ie w THE PRINCIPAL ISSUE Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. STAUNTON, Va., September 14, 1898. Democrats in the tenth district have not entirely forgotten the successful still hunt made by the republicans in the last cam- paign, and the contest this fall promises to be comparatively still on both sides. It is admitted by members of both parties that neither has the advantage, so far as the candidates are concerned. Both Judge Quarles, the democratic nominee, and Col. Hubbard, who is leading the republican ticket, are able men, and both stand high in the estimation of the people geuerally. Col. Hubbard, living in Buckingham, rep- resents the eastern part of the district, while Judge Quarles, whose home is in this y, is referred to as a western man. Both are able lawyers and are well known throughout the state, as well as in the tenth ¢:sirict. Judge Qu tor that hi fairly good s es, it is said, is not the ora- opponent is, although he is a ker. With his constituents it is what he that counts, more than his manner of Saying it. On the other hand, Col. Hubbard is something of an orator, in addition to being a deep thinker. Oratory, however, it is believed, will count for but little in the present campaign. It is merely a case of republican against democrat, and both sides are confident that all the votes cast will be counted. While many people believe the chances of the candidates are about even, the demo- crats have been told by some of the lead- ers that there Is danger ahead, and they are being urged to get every democratic voter to the polls. Some of the democrats are going to cast their votes for Colonel Hubbard, it is stated, but to just what ex- tent is not known. It is perhaps true, also, that the democratic nominee will get a number of republican votes. The claims made by party managers at this writing, hewever, indicate that Colonel Hubbard will draw more from the opposition than will his opponent, and his election, it is generally believed, is assured. There was a little disaffection in the re- publican lines this year, but this, it 1s theught, will not lose many votes to Col- cnel Hubbard, while, on the other hand, it will undeubtedly be the means of giving him a number of democratic votes, Representative Yost’s Friends. Representative Yost’s followers did all in their power to have him nominated, and, ft is said, declared that in the event of his failure to get the nomination no republi- c nould succeed him ifi Congress. Since then, however, things have taken a turn and many of Yost’s adherents have de- clared tor Colonel Hubbard. ‘This all hap- pened over the postmastership contest which resulted in the appointment of Mr. Yost's father to the position. A petition and containing the names of any representative men favoring the ap- pointment of John Newman was sent to shington. Following the appointment of » postmaster Mr. Newman was made as- ant and another member of his family also provided for. While this was ng to M Newman's friends, th could not forget the treatment of the petition and the wishes of the people of aunton. Nevertheless, it {s claimed, the disaffection in the republican ranks is healed. who have so long been id2n- fied with the republican party are expec ing Mr. Yi to come out and show his loyalty to his party, as did Mr. H. D. Flood, who failed to get the democratic nomina- tion in the fight against Judge Quarles. Last Friday Mr. Flood made a sp2ech at Appomattox county court house, in which he urged his friends not to fail to support Judge Quarles, because he (Flood) was not neminated. His course has received the approval of all loyal party people, and has made for him hundreds of frisnds, who may not forget him at some future elec- fon. East of the ridge, Col. Hubbard, it is claimed, will get the practically solid vote of his party, and will roll up a majority so large that the district west of the mountain will not be able to upset. Tha republicans have also received assurances already, they claim, that Col. Hubbard has many friends in this section who wiil show themselves on election day. Undetermined Quantity. Just how big a vote he will get they will not say, but they are confident that he can- not be beatzn. While there are many demo- crats, on the other hand, who assert that their man will win, they are certainly not so sanguine as are the republicans. There wil! be very little speech-making indulged, and the absence of campaign ma- terfal on the thoroughfares and about th hotels causes comment among the rank and file. It is undoubtedly true that there will be some few gatherings in different parts of the district, but in most sections th? people will hear very little about poli- tics until it is about time to go to the polls. This manner of conducting the cam- paign avoids much bitterness, such as usually characterizes political contests in this section, and much good, it is thought, will result. There {gs certainly no money being spent at present, and it is thought that none will b2 used until the day of the contest. So far as can be ascertained the only issue in this campaign, or rather, the only question that has been raised here, is on the conduct of the war. The silver issue the voters look upon as a thing of the past. An effort has been made in some parts of the district to have at least one of the can- Gidates declare himself on the question of the war and what shall be done with the captured territory. The sentiment about here seems to favor the acquisition of all terltory taken, and it is on this question alone that many of the voters want the candidates to declare themselves. A prom- inent democrat, who discussed the question yesterday, said he believed that a great majority of the voters favor the acquisi- tion of the territory, “Although a democrat and by no means a McKinley man,’ he said, “I believe Presi- dent McKinley managed the war better than any other man in the country could have managed it, and I am going to vote for the man who will support him in what he has done.” Tired of Speech-Making. Speaking of the still hunt tactics, he said the better class of people have become tired of so much talking. ; “They never believe much of what they hear, anyhow,” he sald. ‘When a man in one party attempts to tear down the char- acter of the opposition, intelligent people understand the motive and pay no atten- tion to what is said. If there is any money to spend it can be disposed of on election day to the best advantage.” In this district, he said, the voters change about more than they do in most parts of the state. So far as the poorer classes are concerned, they generally vote the way they believe will help them:most. Many of them have been out of employment and without money, and to some extent they will vote to please those who have bene- fited them. “Only a few days ago,” he said, “I heard one of them remark’ about an influential and rich man: ‘Every one of them has a fellow, but every fellow hasn't one cf them.’ That is the way it is going to be with many of them, and I'm afraid it means that Col. Hubbard will have the ad- vantage of Judge Quarles.” With the exception of a few discussions on the streets and about the hotels, the only evidence of the approaching election observed here is the presence in public places of the usual election notices. —— Body Transferred. The remains of Miss Lisa Lauttner, the unfortunate woman who died from inhal- ing gas Friday morning last, were this afternoon removed from potter's field to Prospect Hill cemetery by Undertaker Barker. The expenses were borne by the Saengerbund ‘Society. © CASE OF MAGGIE WOODS A Scotch Girl Who Came Over to Marry s Oolored Man. Investigation of Her Detention by the Immigration Bureau Officers— Color Line Was Not Drawn, Columns of comment have been excited over the case of Maggie Wood, a Scotch girl, who was detained in the immigrant station In New York. So much was written about the matter that a number of persons in the east wrote to President McKinley protesting against her detention. It was charged that she was detained on the ground that she was about to marry a colored man. The inference was that the color line was being drawn by government officiais. Secretary Gage, through Commisioner Powéderly, sent to the immigration officers for the facts, and has received the follow- ing interesting story from Commissioner Fitchte: The Facts in the Case. “NEW YORK, September 14, 1898. “Commissioner General of Immigration, Washington, D. C. “Sir: Iam in recetpt of bureau letter of the 13th instant (No. 17,002), inclosing a communication addressed to the President and requesting report upon the matter. n reply thereto I beg to inclose here- with a copy of the testimony in the case of the alien immigrant, Maggie Wood, aged twenty-five, native of Scotland, who arrived at this port, per steamship Mongolian, Sep- tember 8, 18%8, which is sett-exy tor: This woman was an alien, a British sub- ject. As in the case of all other alfens, the. mining inspector endeavored to ascer- tain ‘her qualifications to land, and found that she had no money, and was not com- ing here for the purpose of working to earn a livelihood, but to be married. Under or- dinary circumstances such aliens are al- ways held for a special inquiry, on the ground that they are likely to become a public charge in view of the uncertainty of the consummation of their intended mar- riage. The fact that, in this instance, the intended husband was a negro weighed in the mind of the inspector no more than to make the uncertainty greater than in ordi- nary cases. It was late in the afternoon when the woman arrived, and the hearing before the board of special inquiry had to be postponed until the following day. In some manner the matter was published in the newspapers, and the Rey. Dr. Carruth- ers of the Presbyterian board of missions, then in session in this city, a well-known clergyman, who was a friend of the girl's father, appeared here the following day and stated that he protested most vehemently against the marriage, and asked permis- sion to talk with the new arrival. This re- quest being granted, he pleaded with the girl as a clergyman and a friend o: family not to be a party to the mar 5 and when she went before the board of spe_ cial inquiry for the first hearing she stated that, although her passage ticket had been purchased with the money sent her b: intended husband, she was then convir that she did not wish to marry ik thereupon deferred, pending a fur- hearing. he Intended husband, Martin B. Hf ton, appeared and swore that he w: zen of the United States; that he earned S12 a week; that he had about $100 in money and property valued at $500, and that he was able to support the girl, if he married her. It was finally ascertained that both the immigrant and the witness Hamilton had a firm purpose to be marrie and that there was no doubt that th. rlage would take place. Upon the the board of special inquiry found that the girl was not likely to become a public charge, and she was thereupon permitted to land.

Tkomas Smothers, a colored giant, be- ing six feet four inches in height, who in 1880 was sent from this city to the Albany penitentiary for thirty years for the crime of rape, has returned to Washington, hav- ing been pardoned by the President. The record in the case which was made at de- tective headquarters by Mr. M. P. Gorman, who then, as now, was the chief clerk of the bureau, is that the night of February 27, 1880, Smothers committed a rape on a young woman, who at the time was re- turning to her home from church. Smoth- ers was arrested two days later by Officer G. W. Prather of the seventh precinct. At that time he gave his age as fifty-six years. dp27-satt Me 1006 F_N.W.
