ABINGDON. Va, November 1.-Great
interest is felt in the congressional con-
test in this district between Hon. John
A. Buchanan, Democratic standard
bearer, and George Il. Mills. Esq; nomi-
nee Of the Republican party.
Mr.. Buchanan was born and reared IN
this section, and his ancestors for many
generations before him. He is man of
high character, sound Judgment, and
strong intellect. His energetic and bril-
liant canvass in 1888 redeemed this dis
trict from Republican rule, and that VIC
tory, with his recognized ability and
worth in Congress, induced the party to
renominate him by acclamation. Not
withetanding the protracted session OF
Congress, by great labor and speaking
almost daily he will reach every county
of tho district before election. His
speeches are having powerful effect
mGH-TAx MILLS WORKS FOREIGNERS.
MIR. Mills came to this State from
Philadelphia, Pa. about seven years
ago as q railroad contractor, and as such
has made considerable money, chiefly 10y
working Italians and Hungarians. lie
never claimed Virginia as his homo I'M
iii he received the nomination on the
18th Of September, having registered
for the first time only q few days pre-
vious. He voted in Philadelphia in the
wear 1889. he has not made a speech
in the canvass, and it is generally under
stood that his election can only be &C
complished by the use of money.
THE PENNSYLVANIA PLAN.
The Democrats are greatly aroused
over the information reliably given to
them that Mills has his hired men at all
precincts where there is large floating
or purchasable vote, with almost unlim-
tied Doodle for tho purpose OF buying
votes. The Republicans are very quiet.
but are covering the territory well, most
of their work being done at night.
TIN RESULT IN DOUBT.
A number OF prominent Republicans
in this county especially have signitied
their intention to vote for Buchanan,
and if the people we're allowed at this
time to exercise their choice his majori-
tv would undoubtedly exceed two thou
sand. but in view of the Doodle cam
paign inaugurated by the Republicans
the result 10 doubtful.
1t would be a calamity indeed ii this
LARGE district, so rich in agricultural and
mineral resources, and in which such
large investments and developments are
being made, should be turned over now
to Republican rule by Doodle and against
the protest and earnest efforts Of its best
citizens. g,
The result will be looked for here and
doubtless elsewhere IN tho State with
great anxiety.

ALEXANDRIA, November 1.-The can
vass now going on in this (the Eighth
district has been very quiet, but all par
ties have been hard atwork and no stone
has been left uDturned by either side to
winthefght. General William Il. L. Lee,
the regular Democratic nominee, has
the support OF all the regular Dem
ocrats the better class Of citizens
in this section, aud number of the in
telhgent colored men OF this city Will
support him. Frank Hume, the indie
pendent candidate. was candidate for
the regular Democratic nomination, but
becoming dissatisfied with his chances
he withdrew from the race and after
General Lees nomination announced
himself as an independent candidate.
He has the support OF the mass Of the
Republicans, with few Democrats who
are either soreheads or are strong per
sonal friends OF Mr.. Hume.
WON'T AMOUNT TO HANDFUL.
Outside Of Alexandra city and county,
this class OF voters Will not amount to a
handful. Carter, the negro candidate,
will not poll three hundred votes in
the whole district and is out Of the race
entirely.
The merchants OF Washington city
are very ANXIOUS to see Frank Hume
elected, as they expect that he will rep
resent the city in which all his busi-
ness lies, and not the Eighth dis
trict. IL is said that they are con-
tributing funds to aid in his election.
Both sides claim the district by msiori-
ties ranging anywhere from 800 70
1900. A conservative estimate of the
situation is about as follows:
THE IIAJoRTIEs.
The counties Of Loudoun, Fauquier,
Fairfax, and Prince William will give
General Lee about ?, 700 majority. Gull
pepper and Orange are doubtful and will
give but a small majority for either side.
1t is more than probable that they will
stand each other of. Stafford, Louisa,
Alexandria city and county, and King
George will give Hume about 1000
majority, leaving a clear majority for
General Lee Of about 700 votes. Gene
raj Lee defeated Park Agnew, the Re-
publican candidate in the last congress
sional election by LOO, and it is claim
ed by other estimates that General Lees
majority will DO as great this year as
then.

ever gave such favorable promise 10 the
Democracy as the present one. James
Fitzgerald Epes, of Nottoway county,
distinguished lawyer, q successful farm
or. and a gentleman OF the true firginian
type, bears the Democratic standard.
His opponent is John Mercer
Janaston, negro whose only hope
OF success lies in the massing
Of the solid negro vote at tho polls on
olcction-day. He has never been nomi-
mated outside of the church and prayer
meetings Of the colored people, is not
recognized as a candidate 10y the regular
Republican organization Of tho State or
district, is looked upon "a bolter and
disorganizer, and IS regarded NJ man
whose success would threaten tho peace
and welfare Of tho district. For these
reasons no will fail TO receive tho votes
OF great number OF Republicans, both
white and colorod and this detection
greatly endsngers his prospects.
A SPLENDID ORGANIZATION.
The Democratic organization is not
only as perfect in all OF its details as it
was two years ago, when Hon. z. &.
Venable carried the district by plurali-
~ Of Gao. but it is characterized by
greater fire and spirit, and the Demo
Gratis are oil volunteer workers-appre-
ciotiDg the emergency and deyoting
their time TO the canvass without price.
This condition Of thlugs exists in all the
counties.
Ian aston has no white man 10 direct
his canvass, as was the case two years
ago, when his work was accomplished by
white leadeTsoi experience. His organ
zation this year is entirely in the hands
OF negroes. and many OF his colored
friends who served him before have now
deserted him because they were never
rewarded. There is also an ominous
lack OF enthusiasm among the negroes
in this campaign az compared with tho
overTunning enthusiasm OF two years
ago. There is no evidence OF any recog-
milton Of or substantial aid for Langston
by the Republican National Committee,
the Virginia member OF which resides
in Petersburg.
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
The most careful and conservative
estimate justifes the statement that the
Democrats will certainly carry the city of
Petersburg and five Of the eleven coun-
ties composing the district; That OF the
other siT counties the Democrats have
strong hopes Of carrying three that if
they do no worse in these six counties
than in 1888 the chances will still be
largely in favor of Democratic success.
Candidate Epes has been endorsed by
the Farmers Alliance in nearly all the
counties, has made n splendid canvass,
has contributed 10 the utmost of his
time and means, and the probability is
that he will be elected by handsome
majority.
