FREDERICKSBURG, VA. November A.
Special AS the sun goes down on the
evening Of the day before the election there
are seen on the corners Of the streets in this
quiet old town groups Of determined Demo
csats who. in earnest conversation, are
canyassing tO-mOrrOw's chances. There
does not seem 10 be any who have the
slightest doubt as 10 the result, but despite
this feeling they are relaxing none Of their
vigilance. There has been made here the most
complete arrangements for bringing.Out the
entire Democratic vote. and the least san
guine do not think the majority in the town
will 90 below 300. There are other know
ing ones who claim much more. but the
smaller estimate will bc a very large Demo
cratic gain.
SPEAKING on THE COURT GREEN.
To-day, being Spoisylyania court. your
correspondent was early on tha green. y
large crowd was present, Democrats pre-
who, like those in town, are
earnest and confident The county, which
E'lIl E'iN iA'lAilifNU ~ ~ sunni
jOrity. is thought TO be safe for the Demo
Gratis by at least one hundred. There were
two large Democratic meetings hcld-One
by Major Il. II. Wallace, and the
other by 4. II. Dickinson. These gentle
men were enthusiastically listened to.
4 DEMOCUArIC CLUB,
known as the COurtland Democratic club
Of ~pOisylvania county, was formed, 10
which there were several applications for
admission from prominent cOlOred Republi-
cans. who gave as their reason for wanting
to join the Democrats that the Republicans
had failed in all their promises.
There was no court business transacted
other than the postpOnemcnt of the Pendle-
ton murder case, which goes over TO the
April term Of the court. The court assign
cd \. II. Dickinson as counsel for the ac-
cuscd.
The Republicans, both here and in the
county. are much disheartened at the out
look. and on all sides is heard the ominOus
Of discomfort, because of the
failure of their leaders TO turn loose the
Doodle they are said TO be holding out and
10 bring it to light tomorrow.
FINAL DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
The Democrats will have a large meeting
here tonight. They were in hopes TO have
had the pleasure Of hearing senator Daniel,

dressed by W. A. Little, Jr., and Major
Thomas =. Wallace.
From Stafford and King George counties
comes the most cheering reports. Our
friends are claiming they will carry those
counties. When il is remembered how long
and strong they have been Republican,
your readers can form so idea of the great
change in sentiment.
REPUBLICAN SCHEMES.
The Republican leaders are trying hard %
hold their cohorts in line, but looks to be
hopeless task, as they are seen on all sides
wearing Democratic badges and celebrating
their rclense from political serfdom in the
most open manner.
Potent agencies have been at work, and
there seems TO have been installed into the
,ninds Of the voters such hatred of Mahone
and his methods a. Will forever cOnsign him
10 political oblivion.
The creed of his friend Burrows, "force
hills and mixed schools" was the last.
straw. Until the views of Malone ON these
Infamous measures were ventilated here by
the Free Lonee. he seemed to have some
few friends, but now il is hard to iind one,
outside Of Ofiice-seekers or oiilcehOlders,
so poor as do him reverence"
