The Outlook In Virginia.

There is no denying the fact that the
outlook this fall for the Malone party
is notat all brilliant. The impression
/ is gradually forcing itself upon he at
teutlon of Virginians that General Ma
hone cares more for the exercise of po-
liIical power than for the future good Of
the State, and as Virginia has interests
which are bound up with the people OIL
the South, the citizens there are begin
ning 10 inquire whether the time has
not come 10 break this unnatural alli'
ance with Malone and place them
selves more in accord with the section
of which Virginia is part. Very
much has been written about the po-
lilcal condition there, but the real facts
are rarely mentioned. The last cam
paigu, while in some respects drawn
battle, was, however, damaging to the
Readjusters, because they we're defeated
10 their strongholds and made no per-
cepIible gains in any part Of the State,
no gains which would demonstrate the
continued vitality and power Of the
Readjuster movement, In many coun'
ties where the negro population Is
large and much had been expected, the
result vas surprise. The lesson Of
that campaign was that the tide which
had run so strongly In Mahone's favor
was recovering its old time prestige
aud power. During the last few
months this las become more and
more apparent until the most careful
politicians now admit that the chances
are decidedly III favor of the regular
Democracy. Tie doubtful counties
have been carefully cauvassed, and in
nearly every case the reports show
remarkable change Of sentiment and a
gradual return to The old p,litlcal faith.
Attorney Gen eral Blair admits that the
outlook is poor and the result very
doubtful. When it Is considered that
the Attorney General is one of the
leaders Of the Readjuster party, and
that he is not at all hopeful, the feeling
of bis party may be easily imagined.-
There is no doubt !hat in every part OF
the State a Revision Of political feeling
has occurred, and that 1t largely grows
out Of opposition TO the management Of
General Malone. The disposal OF uu-
limited political patronage in Virginia
has made Malone more Ofa boss than
the people were al first willing 10 &C
knowledge. They now see the effect OF
this personal power AID are getting
ready 10 resist il. Tie attitude Of The
regular Democratic party has been snch
during all this Readjuster craze as 10
call about il tie best sentiment of lie
State, and ibis is now having IFS pre-
dcted result in the rapidly growing
strength of the party and the consequent
decline Of Mahoneism. In the three
doubtful counties, Wythe Washington,
and Smyth, tie chances are very much
as ainst the Readjusters, and as these
three counties will largely determine
the result this fall the best judges
agree that Mahone's defeat is altogether
probable. With tie sentiment Of the
Republican party Of the North decided
ly against tie keadjosier policy and
the moral support almost entirely will
drawn 1t does not take much OF pro-
phet TO predict The final ouicome.-
Virginia Will be redeemed this fall

The Virginia Campaign.
MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
COMMITTEE-ENcoUR
REPORTS

RIcHMoND Va, Sept. 20.-The
S tate Democratic Central Committee
met here today. Chairman Barbour
and nearly all of the other members
were in attendance. The work of
the committee was secret, but it is
understood that arrangements were
put on foot to prosecute the campaign
against Malone with renewed vigor.
More money Is to be raised. The
democrats have already been quite
sui cessful in raising funds for this
campaign, but much more Is needed
to cope with that obtained by Malone
from his assessment Of Federal and
State officeholde,s. The indications
tonight are that there will be no great
difficulty in getting funds. Re.
p orts were heard by the committee
fir om all sections of the State. These
are particularly gratifying to the DEM
ocrats. and Indicate that great changes
have taken place in portions of the
State heretofore overwhelmingly Ma
honeite. Ex-Representative Abram
FulLerson, who is thoroughly acquain :
ted in the southwestern part of the
State, which is relied upon by Ma
none as the backbone of his party,
says that an immense number of
changes have recently taken place
among the people Of that section.
Many Of those who had been the
most stalwart Mahoneites, Mr.. F.
SAYS, have deserted Malone in thi s
fight. The second senatorial district,
which is ia that section, aud which 10
1881 gave Mahone's candidate over
1900 majority, it is claimed by calm,
dispassionate democrats here tonight
from that section will elect a demo-
crat. If this is true, a perfect revolu-
ton has taken place among Malone S
followers. The fourth senatorial dis
trict, which in the same contest gave
Mahone's candidate over 1000 m,jor>
lty, is conceded by some coalitionists
to be doubtful. There is good chance
for the democrats to carry two or three
counties in the colored districts. They
not only hope to make large
acces,ions from Mahone's followers,
but expect to lar ely Increase their
voting strength from those who have
not voted for years. Arrangements
have been made 10 bring out This
element.
The dem cratic leaders here tonight
are highly encouraged at the outlook.
These claim that while the canvass
had not progressed far enough to pres
dict results, they have every reason 10
hope they will obtain control Of the
next Legislature. Both sides know
that it is 10 be desperate and close
struggle. The democrats EXPIRE SIS
confidence in carrying the following
counties for the House of Delegates,
which at the last session were repre-
scented by coalitionists GraysOD,
Franklin, Patrick. Henry, Montgom'
cry, King William, Southampton,
Princess Anne and Chesterfield, be-
sides those hoped for ia Fulkcrscn's
district, referred to.

1T is but six weeks until the cleo

the gooo OF the State at heart work
steadily and earnestly. See that your

THE fight between readjusters and

The contest now Is between Democrats
and Coallionists-a uame selected by
the party to which it is applied. The
Coalitionists are made up of every ele-
ment that is opposed 10 the Democracy
and is aided and sustained by the Stall
warL wing of the Republican party. A
victory for the coalitionists is victory
for the Stalwarts. A defeat of the coa-
litonists rs a defeat of that wing and a
public r,buke Of the corrupt bargain

patronage which Arthur has thrown

1t is believed at the treasury de-
partment that between 10,000,00
$11, 100000 in bonds of the United
States which are now past due and on
which interest has ceased to run have
been mislead or destroyed. Some of
these missing securities will probably
come to light after having been
boarded for years by ignorant persons
who have not read the papers and are
unconscious of the fact that their
principal is lying idle. Legal tender
notes to the amount of about $26, 000,-
900 are also supposed to have vanish
ed forever, but a portion of them may
nevertheless be stored away in places
of concealment by people who are SC
cautious that they are afraid either tC
deposit in banks or to invest theil
savings. Between $14, 100000 anC
So, 100000 in fractional currency
are still outstanding and unlikely ever
to be presented for redemption. The
total of bonds, legal-tender notes an(
fractional currency thus apparently
obliterated is $50, OOO,O 900 at the low
est calculation. This and what ma,
be added in future will make hand
some treasury balance when the gov
eminent shall have finally liquidateC
its debt and dropped out of the pape
circulating business altogether.
