WA3HINGTON, ID c., oct. 30.-Col.
Cameron, the Liberal candidate for
Governor of Virginia, who is now in
! Washington, expresses the fullest con-
| tidence in the success of the Liber al
ticket in that State. Since July 4rh
Col. Cameron has been actively en-
gagged in the canvass, a rd has addressed
meetings in every Legislative district
Wherever he went the Liberal candi-
date met with enthusiastic receptions,
and the large attendance at the meet
ings shows that the people are fully
aroused 20 the importance of the pend =.
ing struggle and their sympathies
are with the Liberal movement.
Col. Cameron said tonight that
wherever he went he saw unmistakable
ev dence of the progress of the Liberal
cause among the white people. In every
county many leading white men who
have heretofore acted with the bourbons
have declared for the Liberal ticket, and
some of them ar. taking an active part
in the campaign. Last year, in some
counties, the whites Were almost all ar
rayed on the Bourbon side, and the
only votes that We're cast against the
men. \ great change has taken place
in these countless and the indications
are that with the aid of the color,d vote
several Of them will give a majority for
the Liberal ticket
The most encouraging feature of tie
campaign AZ this time is the division
that exists among the whites. Col.
Ctmcrun, Gen. Malone, Col. Brady and
other Liberal LEADERS, who have closely
watched campaign b,iev- that the
Liberal, will poll at least 90, 600 whit
votes, which is nearly hal ut The az
grrEAic bite vote that will hs east on
November ), including The white Re-
pnbncanS. 1t Is estimated that the
c, l"r'u vote will reach about Is 900 of
which not more than ) per cent. viii or
induced 10 vote the Bourbon ticket,
The aggregate vote poll,d tor Garfield
ami Hancrc< Electors was 2l2 600. L.
,s believed that the vote Of next week
Will he AS large as that Of .aSt year, and
On tas basis the Liberal leaders are
confident that the reform ticket will re.
cclYe from ll5,00O to 10 900, which
would give that :iCket a majority rang.
lug from 20 600 to -, 600 votes
The extent of their majority rs re-
I arded By the Liberals is a question of
ability to quilt, the colorel voters b
the payment OF III poll-rax of 81 per
cap Ia. The color"d men are united ard
70. the Cameron ticket, aud
the large numbers that arepayiug their |
own poIl.taH is evidence of the earnest. |
LESS of their feelings aud OF the great |
interest taken in the contest.
OF the success Of the Liberal IegS-
IatlNe ticket There is NOT the lightcsl
ioubr, and the BourbonS reluctantly
'mced that the Liberals will sarute IA
: od working maj ,rity in both braHch,
Is of the General Assembly. The
House of Delegates consists of 100
members and the :, nate of 40 members
)f the latter 10 hold over, and Of these
II are LIBERIA Is
or the II Senators to be elected the
Liberals will certainly elect IL, and
II. so thar they will have at
east 26 of the 40 members of the upper
louse. In the last Legislature the Lib.
rails had 56 members in the House of
Delegates, and the indications are that
nry viii elect trom "a to IS members
lcxt week. Although the principal in
crest Is centred in the State ticket, the
legislative ticket Is really more impor-
ant, for tn" reason that the Legislature
o bel chosen next week will elect "A
lifted states Senator To- succeed Seua
or Johnson, and will also choose sew
raj Judges oI the Cour' Oh Appeals and
tner lmOortaut State officers. 1t will
lso be charged with providing tor c.r-
ain reforms that failed last year by
easrn OF vetoes interposed BY the pres
1T Democratic Governor.
