AS we have said, these constitute more
than half the delegates. OF these General
MALONE has 1544. These are all that he has
received, though nearly every county In
which he is the favorite has elected its del
egates. Petersburg, Sussex, Surry, Motto
way, Isle OF Wight, Southampton, Norfolk
city and county, Dinwiddie, Lunenburg,
Greensyille, &C., &c. Look for yourself
and see that he has run in the MALONE
counties at the opening Of the race. In
Buckingham the DANIEL men allow MAHoNE
only 6; we allow him 8. In yNansemond
we allow him 8, but he claims II. These
two counties may Offset each other. we
allow DANIEL in Cumberland, as that
number was appointed for him, and
the appointment has not been and may
not be revoked. Notice, too, that Cen.
eral MALONE got Is votes in Rich
mond through the magnanimity OF his
rivals, but can expect no such good; luck
anywhere else where he may be in so small
a minority. Taking these facts into con-
sideration, and copceding--what everybody
must concede-that Rockingham, Page,
Warren, Augusta (including staunton),
Bath, and Highland, will give their 104
votes solid for HOLIDAY, and there, will be
less than 900 delegates yet to be appointed
in those counties in which General MALONE
has any followers. Concede, then, that he
will get one fourth Of them, and he would
have In all only about 800 votes In the Con-
Yention-not one fourth. Can he get more?
We see no possibility of bis doing SO, much
less any probability. We have been as hbe-
raj as possible. We have given him 13 in
Isle of Wight, though one Of the delegates
from that county wrote to us yesterday that
he was not entitled. to SO many; and we
have not knowingly omitted one vote from
his list. How car he run 800 votes up to
7O0?. He can't do it. He is the only man
running, against whom there is avery de-
oided and insurmountahle feeling OF oppo-
sition. Whoever is not for him is against
him.
DANIEL Is running remarkably well. His
friends claim some twelve OF fifteen more
votes than we have credited him with.
HOLIDAYS friends claim dozen more
votes than we give him. a.
We have kept our own tally, and we give
eur own figures. III ~ 81 s-A.i ~
= TALIAFERRo's friends claim more votes
than we give him; and doubtless General
F1rz. LEES friends would do the same
But all these conflicting claims only con-
vince us that our figures are correct.
