The Situation i'm virginia,

The present chaotic condition OF political af-
fairs In Virginia Is such as to forbid any calcu-
lation as to how that state will go in the COM
ing presidential election. A combination of
democrats and republicans, known as r1ldjust-
ers, controls the legislature, and the managers,
so far, have kept their organization well in
hand as far as political objects are concerned
The regular democratic, or as it is called "con-
sentative party repudiates those of its former
followers who are among the readusters. 1t
proclaimS them deSerterS, and announces that
they shall not have any part in the preSiden-
tial canvass or any recognition b. the national
convention. heregular republican party takes
the same course with regard to its members
who are now with the readjusterS. Repub.
hcan readtusterS will not, so it is an
nounced, be recognized by the regular
state organization, unless they renounce the
"unholy alliance" that now controls the legisla.
ture. Meantime the readjusters declare that
they are backed by majority of the people,
democrats and republicans and that they in
tend TO paddle their own canoe. Should the
readiusters decide to support the republican
presidential ticket they would, in all probability
De able 10 carry the state that way. Should
tney support the democratic candidates, then
the result would be as good as determined In
favor OF that ticket, as the readuSter5 and reg
ular conservatives. combined could easily sweep
the state. But having been repudiated and de-
nounced by both the old parties, the readjusters
may refuse to support the ticket of either This
would leave them no alternative but to support
The ticket which the greenbackers evidently in
tend to nominate. A triangular contest in
national politics in Virginia would still leave
the chances in favor of the regular democratic
ticket, for the reason that many democratic re-
adJustors would, no doubt, stand by their Old
party in preference to a greenbacker. But, it
would be possible for the republicans by rally
ing all their strength, and making vigorous
canvass, to slip in between the conservatives
and readjusters, and carry the state by plural
lty. The eleven electoral votes of Virginia
might determine the presidential election, one
way or the other, and therefore the question of
doubt that now hangs over the result In that
state is one OF interest and Importance
