The situation IN Vir1inia Is attract
ing great attention IN political circles.
Representative Jorecnson. says that he
has every hope that the Republicans
viii through the dissension5 in the
Democratic ranks, be able to carry the
State for Garfield and arthur next No
-venber. He says the differences be-
tween the iteadjusters and E'unders or
debt-naying wings of the Democratic
party are So bitter as 10 be unreconcili-
able by any means whatever. The two
factions are as hOstilaa as the Democrat
ic party was formerly bitter against
Republicans. Mr. J. Amber Smith.
formerly Republican member of Con-
greSs from Virginia. has just returned
t. Washington from a tour Of the State.
He reports a similar condition of affairs
TO that given by aIr. Jorgenson. He
says that there is no chance whatever
ior the frcadjusters and funders COM
ing together again. He regards the
chances of the Republicans SLIPPING in
between the two as very brilliant. and
says that such result would be GER
tam 1t the Campaign Committee would
throw some money into the State to
thoroughly organize the panty.

The Hon. Samuel R. Mason. lafe
greenback candidate for Governor of
PENNSYLVANIA, made speech at Pitts
burg, Sa urday night, announcing his
intention to support the republican
nominations and advising his friends
10 do the same. He said there was
no distinctive issue in this campaign
upon which the national party could
make fight. The republican party
had policy and an honorable hist
oty; the democratic party had neither.
He would do what he could for the
former. Mr.. Mason's speech was graf
ltylng to the republicans of Western
Pennsylvania, who feel now confident
that the old strength of the party vii!

Garfield in Pennsylvania viii get

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN GUT
L00n.

This presidential campaign SO far
has been one of unusual quietness.
Yet there has been as much efficient
work done, and the organization IS
more perfect upon the part Of republic
cans, than It has been since 1850, and
there is everything to encourage re-
publicans with hope of complete
triumph.
The first election Of any Importance
will occur in Maine, September the
18th, only three weeks from next Tues
day. (There IS to be an election a
few days earlier in Arkansas, but Ike
that of AIabama !; III carry no signif-
/ cancc with il. as the counting is all
done on one side) But the result in
Maine will have 4 material influence
upon the elections in Indiana and
Ohio. With their present organiza-
lion in Maine there Is very little doub;
but the republicans will be victorious
BY q handsome majority according
to the most authentic accounts after
, a canvass having been made by school
districts, the republicans have ma
iCritv of br+Ue,1 eiv and eich+ tious.
and over the fusionists. Last year
after desperate effort was made by
both democrats ard greenbackers
each with separate ticket in the fed,
their united vote only exceeded the re-
publican vote 40s, and it IS not
probable there VIII eyer again he such
a combination Of circumstances favor
able to The opposition as there was
last year, and even if there were an
equa! number Of democrats and green
hackers in the state to-, a the at
tempted theft upon the part Of Garce-
Ion last year would be sufficient to
drive enough honest men from the
support Of such q combination TO in /
sure the Stale for the republicans. .
With Maine for the republicans in
September, Indiana will follow IN Ccio-
Der. but the nlaicrity will be small The /
best informed democrats III the Indi-
ana acknowledge now that the vote
VIII be close, while the republicans
are thoroughly organized and conf
dent Of success. The dissensions
among the democracy and the dis
memberment of the national party,
majority of whom will vote the repub-
.ican ticket unite in increasing The
probabilities Of republican victory in
October. Should Indiana GO republi-
an in October, it viii virtually settle
he presidential question, while il she
should go democratic it still leaves the
chances equal to those Of
he democracy. While SO far as Ohio
'r Pennsylvania are concerned it is
oily TO even consider them in the list
II doubtful states, the fact of the dem
,crats claiming them amounts to .
lothing. Last laii they declared that
}hio would 90 democratic without a
laubt, and they actually believed the
lemocracy would be victorious. Yet
hey lost the state bymorc thar I7,ooo
'otes. Again as far as New York IS
oncemed the balance is in favor of
ne republicans. Last year when the 5
.enocracy held the patronage and all
he machinery which they know SO i
veil how to convert to their own use, l
he reIalblicans carried the state. We j

ticket and W commend their resolu-
ton to those who believe that the war
is over, and that the south accepts
the results o. Dpomattox. One OF
the resolutions runs:
Resolved, nat n the great strife
between the ssates, he was to Us an
honorable and ch:yal-ic foeman.
The assertion That the war Of the re-
Dellion was strife between the
states IS very good reading about
tbs time of the year. and the asser-
ton of democratic mass meeting in
1880 that the s,riic vas waged against
"ns" parncnllry refreshing. As an
admission il is immense.
