WASHINGTON litmnin TIIP.OJUIU DBF. , ) 513 Fot'iiTEBNTu STIIIICT , > WABHINOTON. IX C. , Oct. 20 , ) Although Virginia Is In the habit of Retting all the fun there Is out of a general stnto election , the Old Dominion never saw before a campaign to equal this ono. from the Potomac to the North Carolina Ino the whole state is excitement , llfirbo- : ucs , meetings and gatherings of all kinds are being held every day , and each side In the creat light Is doing Its utmost to win. When General Mahono first accepted the nomination It was generally thought hero jy republicans and democrats alike that ho , vas bound to bo defeated , as the election machinery Is In the hands of the democrats , nnd they have everything nt stake. Hut Mahono , who Is ono of the most wonderful Dolillcul organizers in the country , did not jiroposo to allow anything to go by default , ile admitted no "foregone conclusions" into its vocabulary of political terms ; but on the contrary , from the outset ho had the opposi tion of many of the older republicans , those who were originally known as the "atrulght- outs" as opposed to the " roadjusters , " Lnngston , tlio most powerful of the colored republicans , was also against him , nna for weeks the democrats wcro felicitating them selves with the delusion that thny had n walk-over. To-night , however , all reports from Virginia ro to the effect Unit the little * general has gained so rapidly that ho has created the greatest alarm among his oppo nents , resulting In the opening of ono of tno "argcst democratic barrels in the Btntc. Mahono has adopted every known means of advancing thn interests of the republican ticket and n great many that were never be fore heard of. Ho has plastered the stnto with reading matter and keeps the presses running day and night. The reading matter turned out Is of a character never thought of byho \ other slue and it is having a remarkable ef fect among the negroes. Thousands upon thousands of circulars are being distributed from Richmond signed by all the colored preachers calllnir upon tbelr HOCKS to vote the republican ticket. The circulars are so ingeniously inter larded with scriptural quotation us to have a marked effect. Ten days ago the republican who held that Mahono might carry Virginia was laughed at. Ho was rcearded as an enthusiast whoso hopes got the better of his judgement. To night the sentiment is entirely changed and the crank gf last week is looked upon more ns a pretty likely sort of n prophet. To show how how the sentiment has changed hoio it is only necessary to say that ono of the members of the republican committee , now in Washington , lias hud ulaccd in his hands a largo sum of money to wager that Muhono will bo elected and ho is ready to take all odds that may be offered. The Virginia election , while purely a local one , has a national significance , as it will doubtless have a de cided effect upon the selection of the United States senator. This Is ono of the reasons why EO much Interest is taken. Another is that this is the first real light between the republicans and the democrats in the Old Dominion since the republicans and read- juster parties wereconsolidated. , TUB AIlMIbSION rilOOr.AHATlON' . Prominent republicans at Olympia tele graphed hero to-night asking when Presi dent Harrison Intends to Issue his proclama tion admitting the four now states. Washington is anxious to get into statehood and the governor - elect as well ss the state ofllccrs and candidate for the United States senate are eagerly requesting un extra session of the legislature. It has been decided that the action of Gov ernor Molletto in calling un extra session of the legislature in South Dakota for the elec tion of the United States senators was regu lar and legal. The omnibus statehood bill provides that the legislatures may meet in special session , select senators and certify their elections to the president with the re sult of the elections. Everything is being held back awaiting the returns Irom Montana. The president Is not expected to issue his proclamation until the Montana returns are recoivnd un less they are delayed mdollnately , in which event he will Issue the proclamation without naming Montana. TOO MUCH HANDSJIAKIXa. General Haum , the now commissioner of pensions , had a foretaste this afternoon of what a president of the United States bus to stand in the way of hahdshaUing. The general shook hands with Ids em ployes. There are about 1,500 or l.liOO of them. When ho got through his right hand fell at his side , as though it had no strength. The general is a hiippy-fuced , good 'diqposi- tioned man. but ho looked as though he could see no fun in the proceedings when they wore at an end. Many of the employes had never scon their now chief. The recontlon took pluco just before the close of business at 3 o'clock. The new commissioner has made the pen sion ofllco look like a now pin. It has been swept nnd cleaned up until one would know , oven though ho were a stranger , that something radical had taken place. It is now definitely settled that the illegal and Irregular pension rerating will bo called in , ana those who have got money un lawfully or irregularly will ba compelled to disgorge. THIS DocTitixi : or CIVIL SKKVICC. 'Tt is true that oflleial patronage in u curse to both parties and men , but since wo are held responsible for the otllces and their ad ministration at this tune , I am determined to do what I can to have democrats put out and republicans put Into the places outside of the civil service limits. I believe In party re ward where the public service is not im paired and am heartily tired of this thing of Keeping democrats in positions which can bo just as well and oftentimes bettor tilled by republicans who nave earned them by services to their party nnd their country. " 'ihU was the gist of what Senator Man- derson said to Tin : 13in : correspondent this afternoon , and is the sentiment of every re publican who has been in Washington since March 4 last , looking after places for their party friends. Senator Manderson had just returned from a visit to Indian Commissioner Morgan , Ho has told Senator Plumb , of Kansas , Senator Manderson and others that ho docs not pro pose to put democrats out of oOlco simply to put republicans in , that wherever ho finds n democrat who fills his place acceptably ho shall stay thoro. Senator Manderson entered protest with Commissioner Morgan ( igulnst charging up to Nebraska the appointment of a doctor In Iowa as physician to the Winncbago nnd Omaha Indians in Nebraska. Of course the idea of the commission was to deduct this appointment from the quota of patronage to bo given to Nebraska. When an ottlcer wants to ninko a personal appointment ho loons over the list and charges It to the state hav ing received the smallest amount of patron age. Then there U just that much taken from those who deserve patronage in that ttato. Senator Mamiersou said ha and tbo other members of the Mobraaka delegation in congress would most earnestly protest against the saddling upon their state of any one who Is not u resident of Nebraska. They want the olllces for those to whom the offices belong. The delegation Lad recommended the ap pointment of Dr. Stephenson , u resident of Nebraska , and they want him appointed. If Mr. Morgan wants to clvo his friend In Iowa a place ho should send him elsewhere. That Is the way the Nebraska delegates feel. The senator then asked the commissioner of Indian affairs to appoint J , W. Tucker to bo shipping clerk at Valentino. For some years before Uio Cleveland reglms Mr. Tucker was a land oftlcer at Valentino , but ho was then , as now , a republican and he stepped down and out that u demo crat could como in , The commissioner re futed to remove the present , ebipplnir clerk , suyioK that he was tilling the position ac ceptably Aud iio did not propose to turn of ficers out Just because they wcro democrats und because republicans wanted the position.
