FOB PRESIDENT,
SAMUEL J. TiLDEN, OF NEW YORK.
~: FOR VfCB-PRESIDENT,
THas. A. HENDRICKS, OFINDIANA
MIR +. NJ. Henderson, OF Loudouu county,

MT T. VI. neGuc!SUu, VI Sooo'ys
10 letter to the Richmond Wing, says:
"rhs vote for Kemper was 2.l4l. and for
Hughes I.23a. wuich was fair Conservative
majority. think the opponents Of the present
administration party are as we'll satisfied with
the ticket as the old wings were With Clay and
Freng huysep. and that, with a reasonably fair
effort, the psjority in LoudouD will range from
1850 to 1900 for Tilden and Hendricks. l."
What MI. Henderson says about Loudoun
may be said about the whole State. lcdeed be
may have gone. further, for the people have
become so disguised with radical corruption
and misrule, and with the never ending fuss
about Southern ourrsges," that not only will
the full conservative vote be polled for Gov.
Ildeu. but hundreds of people who have not
taken enough interest in politics since the war,
or who had resolved to let the country go to
destruction without their hindranoe, have chang
ed their minds apd will do what they Gao to
reiustate honesty and purity inlhe government
and will therefore vote for Tden and reform.
The radicals are as: well aware Of the real senu-
nent of the State on the presidential question
as the democrats, and one of them, writing
from Richmond, to the Washington RepubIi
can. says, With rare candor:
IAN intelligent politician would consider it a
foolish wasteiof money to see the Democratic
National Committee sending large sums toto
Vermont, expecting to carry that State for Nor
rissey and Tiden; and every intelligent poll
lcian ruust be- COZ ineed tbatit would be equally
foolish ou the part Of the fepu biieaus to expend
money on Virginia for 4he,purpose Of securing
the State for Hayes and " teeler. consider
it just as certain that Virginia will cast its cleo
toral vote for Tideu as the sun will rise aud set
on the 7th of November Hence, my advice to
the national and congressional committees Is. it
you have sog funds TO extend for the Presi
Dental campaign send it to doubtful States; send
it where there, ia = prospect OF doing good.
Now be never wrote truer words 10 all his
life, Col. Mosby to the contrary uotwlthstand-
ing All the money in the country sent to Fir.
ginia would not change the anticipated result,
for the little ssabe material that was in the
State has already been disposed ot,aud that, too,
at an exorbitaotly high price, considering its
market value to the party it left and to that
which became its purchaser.
