CoNTRAsTEp-YoUTH AND ToIL AGAINST AGE
AND ARisToCEACY.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRlBuNE.l
RICHMoHD, Va, Aug. lit is evident that
tho Bourbons base their hopes OF success largely
upon prospects of dissensous in the ranks Of the
Republican party. Indeed, the more outspoIcn men
among them frankly confess that such is the case.
They doing all they can, iii various ways, TO
provoke and foster such discussions. Yesterday an
indscreet young delegate from Alexandria geefully
displayed tclegraphic dispatch which he had
Just received from "a Republican friend" in that
city, announcing that straight-out de' CATION hal
been elected TO the Lynchbury Convention. by
stan,ler remarked " | thought tho Alexandria Re
pubcans were in favor OF lndorslng tie Mahone
ticket"
"Oh yes, they thought so themselves. but We fixed
the thing up tem," was the triumphant reply
of the Alexandran.
Another Bourbon delegate from of the tide
water counties also heard describing to some of
his friends the methods by which " straight-out
delegation to the Lynchburg Convention had been
secured in that county, and his description clearly
showed that in that the desire OF large ma
iority of the Republicans had been successfully
thwarted From other conversations among the
Bourbon delegates it is evident that throughout the
State .he Bourbon leaders HI been and still are
extremely active in their efforts so to distract
and divide the Republicans 10 render impract
BILE any harmonious and united action, either by the
Lynchburg Cony cntion or i'll the campaign which is
to follow. To scores of the Bourbon leaders and
delegates in the last two days the correspondent OF
THE TRIBUNE has put this question " What viii
the Lynchburg Convention do |" Nine times on. Of
Ten tho reply has been: 4" 1t Will break up in
row." This is what all OF them hope for,
and many of them expect. There aro Others now
ever, and among them such shrewd politicians
as ex-CongTessman Harris and Colonel Kelly, char
man of the Democratic State Executive Committee,
who frankly concede that vely large majority oi the
Republicans throughout the State favor an alliance
with the Ant-Bou.b bons, and who expross the opin-
ion that the Republican Convention at Lynchburg
will indorse the Anti-Bourbon ticket But even
these gentlemen appear aanguine that some Oh the
disconteuted Republican leaders will, in that event,
put stfaight-out' ticket in thc field and draw OF
oaough Republican votes to insure the success OF
the Bourbon ticket.
The hopes and expectations thus EXPRESSED by the
Bourbon politicians respecting probable Republi-
dlssensons afford protty good evidence that the
