THE ALLIANCE a POWER.
Likely to WELD Great Influence in tn
Virginia Campaign.
RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 9.-Thc
Democratic States committee will meet
here in few days to decide upon what
policy shall be pursued toward the
Farmers Alliance in the legislative
campaign. This question is difficult
and nice one to determine.
The Democratic leaders conccdc that
the indications are that the Alliance
will develop Il great deal Of strength IN
this fight. How much, they are not
prepared to say, but it seems very prob
able That unless some definite arrange
mcnts can be made with them by the
Democrats, the Alliance will have a
decided majority of the Legislature
elected IN November. They have al
ready nominated candidates for the
House ol Delegates in many of the
counties, and these they ask the Demo-
Gratis TO endorse. Before doiug this the
local organizations arc waiting for the
State committee to commit itself on that
point. The question that presents itself
Is, ii the Democrats Shall endorse all
candidates, whether the latter will pledge
themselves, in the event of their cleo
ton, to go into the Democratic Leuis-
lalurc caucus. Possibly thCv would
make no such pledges IN advance of be-
ING Informed Just how that partY pro-
posed to act on the railway commission
aud other per measures Of the Order.
Some OF the Democratic leaders favor
the party endorsing the Alliance candi-
dates on the condition named. Others,
anticipating the objection which they
may raise to such q course. think it
might be the part of wisdom to endorse
the Farmers candidates without such q
condition.
One OF the most interesting features
OF this campaign is the result it may
have on the election Of Senator Daniels
successor. Nearly all OF the Alliance
leaders say they Iavor Major Danicls's
reelection, and it is certain that if he
Will agree to the terms of their platform
lherc Will be no obstacle IN the way of
that gcntlcman's securing another term
IN the Senate. The fear seems to be,
though, that these conditions may be
cNactcd; If they are, it is not thought
that the yoIng Virginia Senator could
acccdc TO them. Alliance leaders have,
however, tlmo and again declared that
Danlel would have no opposition from
their side. The members of the Order
VINO might be supposed to have aspira-
tions Tor the Scnatorship have declared
repeatedly that they would not be in the
HELD. Still they have never been tempt
ed with the offer of the prize. The
Democratic State committee, when It
meets mere, will consider all these COM
plicatlon and agree on line of party
policy.
