and the tWohear which recently beat ss enc
Mr., Eikns when last here, the other day,

Loudoun county democrat here to-day says
tho paragraph he read in this correspondence q
day or two ago, in respect of the effect the late
day on which the democratic congressional con-
vention ia his district will be held, will have
upon Mr.. Merediths chances, agrees entirely with
the impression he has received on that subject
He says that while there would have been hardly
any opposition to Mr.. Meredith had the conven-
tion been called at an early day, he now thinks
most of the counties in the district will present
their own candidates TO-, the nomination, and
that Mr.. Meredith will receive at first the unsu-
imous vote OF the delegations from very few Of
them, and that already come of Mr.. Meredith's
letters in the last campaign are being talked
about, to his injury. He says his county will
settle upon man, possibly Mr.. Ryan, and stick
to him as long as there is chance OF his nomiua-
ton. BE says he doesn't think the Farmers AL
lance vote will be factor in determining either
the nomination or election as it's numerical
strength in the district ia not Formidable and as
most OF its members are as good and true demo-
Gratis as any other people, and as fully alive to
tn. urgent necessity Of maintaining sold white
vote in the State until after the nsxt Presidential
election as any other class OF her population.
