The Virginia Contest

The alarm OF the Virginia Bourbons
over the condition Of affairs in that state
is fast developing into a stampede. 1t L.
conceded that the Republicans Of the State
are united as they have not been for
years. Malone Is constantly gaining in
strength, and the outlook il that he will
be elected by a handsome majority.
The latest accession to his ranks il Hon.
John ". fangston, who has hitherto been
one OF his most strenuous opponents.
Ina long letter, just published, he de-
clares his intention Of supporting the Re-
publican ticket In the pending campaign
thus the Democratic hope Of stirring Re
publican dissention through him falls to
the ground.
The Bourbons are beginning to realize
that the solid South Is destined to be
broken. The old methods will not always
avail to defeat the will Of the majority.
The day Of retribution is near at hand.
aud already the demoralized Bourbons OF
Virginia are beginning to read the hand
writing on the wall.
