that when that question was fairy before

Strength Of Pdrties-fhc Enquirer
makes out estimates, after q fashion, and
very lame and imperfect one, computes the
strength Of parties, 10 Virginia as Indicated
by the recent elections, aud by plnching
here from White and Harrison, aud giving
there to Van, leaves a balance IN favor 81
the iayorte, Of j,92l. We warn friend
and foe, oul Of Virginia, to attach no weight
to that estimate. II will surely be iaIslhed

Yet Erskine, the Wing candidate for the
Senate, obtained majority over Thomas
exceeding 800. Why not have taken his
poll THIS is done IN other cases, as III
that Of Tazewcll, but more especially that Of
IFWhe. Saunders, the White candidate in
Nythc, came within less than dozen votes
Of succeeding over Stanger, his Van Buren,
opponent. Yet our adfoit nelghbor, deter.
mlued to put the best foot foremost, drops
the delegate poll in Wythe, and resorts to
that Of the Senate thus reversing his rule
