THOROUGH ORGANIZATION.
It is stated by the district chairmen that
the organization OF the Democratic party
was never better than it is AT this Time in
this section OF The country, and that while
in other fights our people were deSpondenl
and neglectful and the canvass was drag,
now, under the leadership Of John s. Bar
bour and the plan Of organization aS
adopted by the State Executive Committee,
they are thoroughly aroused, active. and
on the alert they are prepared for any
emergency, and are sanguine OF success.
In some sections there Is friendly rivalry
as TO which club or committee can bring to
the polls the largest aumber OF voters. In
one county the Democratic chairman in
! tends to flag every Democratic house in the
! county; III another the chairman has or
| ganized clubs i'm every township, has made
a thorough canvass OF the poll vote OF the
county. and has the name OF every doubt
full man. There is one club out here that
has a membership Of over $50, and in its
township, during the contest between
Daniel and Cameron, Daniel received only
237 votes. In another district the candidates
for the Senate and House make 1t point
to see every voter I'm their district. so IL is
throughout the Southwest.

mentary method OF organization, and il IS
nothing unusual to meet committeeman

who avow their purpose to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. In some instances the voting
population OF whole ncighborhoods who
have heretofore been Readiusters have re-
nounced Malone. On the train from Bris-
tol to Lynchburg YOU hear nothing but
Virginia politics discussed. At every sta
ton along the line OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad passengers see groups Of
mountaneers anXiously discussing the
situation. Much interest is manifested by
them rs to the result i'm other sections Of
the state. II is quite common 10 hear the
opinion expressed that if the counties OF
Eastern Virginia will do their duty 10y the
Democracy as faithfully aS the Southwest
the Democrats will control both branches
Of the Legislature.

had instructed his pOStmasters and office
holders to support Eskridge, Colonel Hans
hrough would have received that nomina-
ZION. In the county OF Craig, james Fra
