From The Richmond Enquirer
HOW WILL VIRGINIA VOTE?

This opestion il easily answered. In 1910 the
Democratic Ticket had majority 10 virginia oi nea,
Is 900 In that election, General Harrison receiver
some Ave or ten thousand votes from men VINO are
now separated from the Wings, and known as the
friends of Mr.. Tyler. OF course II Is not no"
possible to ascertain their precise NUMBER sut Is
moderate and rational conjecture to estimate IL az
eight or ten thousand voters Mr. Iyler Is mort
popular 10 Eastern Virginia. than in any other part Oh
the Union, aud il is hardly questionable that he cou'o
poll al least ten thousand in this State lhese
votes will not be given for Clay. Now, if these votes
had been silent in l640 the Democratic majority theh
would have been about ten thousand ana u 'ne,
should be entirely thrown away in November, or not
given at all it i'll be many lost 10 the wings 'or
the popular VOTE ascertained by last Spring eiec
tons does not vary materially from that OF lo4O IL
is obvious, then, leaving all other matters out OF
view, that Folks majority in Virginia Will be ABOUT
TEN THOUSAND; and our question IS satisiacto-
rily answered.
But we can do better than that, if Mr.. Tyiers
friends pursue a prudent coarse Their Design Is 70
elect Mr. Tyler. He is their first choice Oh 'ne
three recognised candidates but Mr.. fok Is .hei
second If they cannot elect Mr.. Tyler, they would
prefer Polk to Clay. Their desire, then, must De-
first, to make Mr.. Tyler President-but IL they can
not do So To defeat Mr. Clay, by eecting the Demo
cratic candidate. What course will they pursue 10
effect their purpose sWil hey nominate an inds-
nendent electoral ticket or will they adopt that
which their brethren Of the Democratic party Aive
| already presented TO the people IL they run
third ticket, defeat must befal them. IL Is madness
to think that they can of themselves, give the vote
Of Virginia to Mr.. Tyler. But IL they adopt the
Polk Electors that is, if they present ticket win
Mr.. Tyler's at the head, and the names oil the
Democratic Electors upon il, they would play sure
game. If the votes given for Mr.. Tyler should out
number those given for Mr. Polk, the Electors would
be compelled TO cast the electoral vote nf the state
| for Mr.. Tyler. But if Mr.. Polk should receive a
majo ty of the votes he, of course, would De eject
ed, and the friends of Mr.. Tyler would gain theil
second choice.
Ii this suggestion should be adopted, the result
will be a Democratic majority IN Virginia, LOT ron
and +. xas, ranging somewhere from 10 to 2o,ooO-
Let the fri,nds of Mr. Tyler reflect upon it The,
cannot fail to dicover that by adopting the plan IN
dicaed they will not in any way iniure the ProsPecu
of their ayorite-but that holds out the single pos
sible chance of electng him-wth an absolute Ger
tanty, if they fail in electng Mr.. Tyler, of defeat
ing Mr.. Clay and electng Democratic President
