THE Wilmington Messenger, one of the
leading journals in North Carolina and a
strong Cleveland paper, is surprised at the
anti-Cleveand sentiments expressed by the
fifteen gentlemen recently interviewed by
the Dispatch and fears that these interviews
express the Democratic sentiment of the
State. The Messenger need not be alarmed
All It has TO do is 10 refer to the three hun
1red interviews published about two months
Igo in The TINES with representative Demo
rrats IN all sections OF the State 10 find out
that the masses of the Virginia Democracy
are for Cleveland. OF course there are some
few, chiefly among the politicians,
who are opposed to Cleveland But
when nearly three hundred representative
Democrats taken at random from all points
give their views, and it is found that of all
such views Cleveland has a clear majority
against the field. it is evident that our North
Carolina contemporary has no cause TO fear
the position of the rank and file of Virginia
voters.
