other portions of Virginia, from What
can learn the people in the Valley counties
favor Mr.. Cleveland, but in every other
section of the State the sentiment IS over
whelmingly Cleveland. In the Naiiey
the Baltimore Sun has large clrculatloh

TIE RICHMOND DISPATCH of last Sunday
contained interviews with number OF
the shrewdest politicians in this state re-
lative 10 the nomination next year OF the
candidate by the Democrats tor the presl:
dency. 1t is very interesting reading, and
shows almost unanimous opposition to
Cleveland. 1t has never said so IN so
many words, we believe, but all the arGu-
ments of the DISPATCH for some time past
seem to indicate that that paper, too, IS OPP
posed to his denomination.
The Politicians.

1t is queer phase of this discussion that
every public man who is opposed to Mr..
Cleveland is set down as e mere polltl-
clan" while every insignificant nobody
who speaks out for Cleveland is promptly
cracked up to DO "one OF tie people"
