WHEELING SATURDAY MORNING. DECEMBER

Legislature will redistriCt Virginia, 50 thal
they expect to get six or seven members
out Of the ten the State will be entitled "a
under the new census,
In North Carolina the Democrats ar
not harmonious, and Republicans IRON
there assert that many who were Union
men during the rebellion are weary oi
Democratic rule and ready to assist in its
overthrow In Tennessee the Democrats
are split over the debt question and low
tax, and are preparing TO make q contest
on their own hook. In Arkansas the State
debt has rent the Democrats asunder, and
The ruling element has about read the re-
pudiationists out OF the party,
In Texas 1t is represented that the anti
Democrats has not been showing itself,
but that Il can be brought out bya liberal
movement, This is the substance Of the
view as now taken by the Republican lead
ems here, The question now is to find suit
able leaders for an anti-DemocruCy move
ment in these States, and with the view Of
Inducing men OF ability to take hold 0f
the Federal patronage that will be offered
as bait,
Representative Jones, (Greenbacker) Of
Texas, vouChes for the existence OF q strong
Democratic sentiment in that State, and
as he has been successful in organizing in
one Congressional district, he will be recog-
nized rs the leader OF the Anti'DGmocrats
In Texas, He will be permitted to have
his say in the federal appointments for
Texas, and will endeavor to soplace them
rs to build up the opposition&o the Democ-
ncy The regular Republicans from Ten
nessee and North Carolina insistupon con-
trolling patronage in these States, and may
thus interfere with the reunion Of the Re-
mbliCans and Liberals.
Houk, OF Tennessee, is opposed to giving
the office TO any Democrat unless h0 joins
tho Republican party; but men who con-
troll and direct the Republican policy are
determined to Encourage independence in
the south In spite Of the Republican oppo-
sItion from that section. As yet, leaders
for the anticipated independent move
ments in most OF the southern States have
not been selected, but a conference con-
sultatlon and correspondence are going on
to that end, and Mississippi is not over
looked.
General Fitzpatrick, who run on tho re-
cont coalition ticket, is here for the pur-
pose Of obtaining aid that will keep the
Coalition party alive. Southern Demo-
Gratis are aware Of these plans and some OF
them are undoubtedly uneasy since the re-
suit in Virginia.
An Arkansas Congressman says he does |
not believe the Republicans can make u
union with the dissatisfied Democrats in |
that State, because the latter are too much
afraid OF the dominance OF the coorcd
race, He believes that the Democrats will
come together on q compromise platform.
The Democrats are also discussing plans for
next years canvass, and promi cnt Con-
gresham said tonight, II won't go in the
fight II Barnum has anything 10 do with
IL" Barnum is Chairman OF the National
Democratic Committee, and Is very un.
popular with his party.
Democrats from North and South de.
nounCe him, and declare that the party
can make no headway toward efficient or.
ganiEation whilehe is at It's head Someoi
the Southern Democrats openly declare
that their party must pursue more liberal
course II II Is to live. These men say that
a great mistake was, made In driving the
Virginia Readjusters out OF tho party,
and they largely blame the Bourbon
element for that; they say that the
Southern Democrats must endeavor TO ut
tract the clAsses OF voters and not rcpel
any, Murch is quoted as saying that the
have assurance that they
will be well treated in the disposition Of
the committee honors and that at least one
will get q chairmanship.
Murch. too, has been counted among the
of Democratic bearings, but
the indications are he will vote with the
Republicans on party questions.
