ELECTORAL TICKETS.
New York world, yesterday
Cororessman Goode. OF Virginia, who is
here attending the session, ol VI, DcIlo'
cratic National Committee, was Mheu yes
terday by World reporter ior MS views III
relation to the differences III MS STATE oe-
tween the Readjusters, rs they are ca.ieu'
and the Debt-Payers, and his OPINION now
far this local difference was likely 10 aliect
the national issue.
IN can be told in few words,' said Mr..
Goode with n smile. "Tha' tnerc Is uu-
ference in the party in virginia j., unhap-
plly. too true, but at the same time tne trou'
BILE /, not nearly as serious as 1t has some
times been represented to be. There Il no
doubt that large number OF the Readluster
o1rty in Virginia earnestly desire that some
arrangement could be entered into by when
fine Democratic vote in Virginia may be cast
for one electoral ticket and thereby save
the Stale TO the Democracy in the pending
contest. In the county OF Princess Anne
on the seashore, few days since. q
public meeting was held, composed
alike OF Readjusters and Debt-Payers,
which adopted resolutions that we must
agree TO disagree on the debt ques-
ton and combine on the same electoral
ticket for Hancock and English On the
Goth OF this month | addressed rallhcI-
tion-meeting in Norfolk county, and at the
conclusion OF the meeting resolution was
unanimously adopted that the Democratic
party in Virginia ReadiuStcrs and Debt
Pavcrs-shOud vote the regular electoral
ticket put forth by the Convention when
assembled i'm Richmond on the 18Th OF May.
50 far a. my information extends this Is the
growing sentiment among the masses OF the
ReidiusterS, but am constrained to say
that thus far the Indications are that the Re-
adiuster leaders will strenuOusly oppose
any compromise Whatever. They say that
the reimbursement question Is the para
mount question in Virginia, and that
they hold the result OF the present contest
upon the fate OF tie national parties as en-
tircly subordinate. They say that they are
struggling for supremacy in the STATE; thal
they are marching On to the final battle oil
1881. when a Governor. Lieutenant-Gov-
crnOr, an AttOrney-Gcncral, and Leglsla-
turc will be elected. which Legs laturc
will elect a United State, senator and a
Supreme Court Bench. Such i nj present
the temper and tone of the leaders; but
have strong hopes that after they have felt
the public pulse, and ascertalned that Z
large body Of their voters are not prepared
TO vote as they wish, they will be disposed
TO Withdraw and support the regular cleo
toraI ticket."
..What was the vote in 1867"
"Four years ago Mr.. Tiiden received in
Virginia l39 G70 votes, and Mr.. Hayes re
cciycd g6. 22S matchmaking "A majority fol
Tilden OF HIP votes"
"And will not Hancock run equal!
well?"
elf this trouble can be settled, Genera
Hancock will carry the State by at lcas
%. 900 majority"
"And il it cannot he settled!"
eff it cannot be settled, and the Read
iuster leaders still persist in their course
my Judgment is that the regular ticket Tll
still be elected by 10000 majority. But II
common with all good Democrats III tn
State would OF course be very glad to SEE
some plan adopted by which all the frie adj
of Hancock and English could be united OF
single ticket. With proper action on The
part OF the National Committee | think tina
can be DONE"
