Col. Fellows Tells of His Western Trip
Republican Eyes on Virginia.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
NEW YORK, August go 1892
Congressman Fellows has been showing the
Missouri and Kansas democrats that he did not
mean to be unkind to them when he fought
their silver bill. He is making up for that by
some work in their behalf which he has been
doing. He took his little vacation by way of a
trip to Kansas and Missouri and made some
speeches in both of those states. He was quite
fond of Congressman Tarsney of Missouri,
whose frank, bluff ways found warm spot in
Fellows heart, and he was glad to go out and
help him in the fight in his district which is q
close one, and has on some occasions been rep
resented by republican Congressman.
81 spoke at meeting in Tarsney's district"
said he, sat which there were not less than
$4,000 people. Tarsney is popular and the
people turned out to do him honor on that
OCCASION"
"How do you find the feeling generally in
those western states?
Every satisfactory. The republicans are
making as hard fight they know how in
Missouri, but Tarsney and Dockery, in whose
districts spoke. have good reason to expect a
reelection. l also spoke at Lawrence, in Kan
sas, where there is union between the demo-
Gratis and peoples party against Congressman
Funston. They are giving Funston a hard
fight, and his services to the country may be
dispensed with in the next Congress. Indeed,
there is a most excellent prospect in various
parts of Kansas"
How about the prospects in the presidential
fhht in that state?''
They are very good. / think At least the
chances of taking the electoral vote away from
Harrison are good. The democrats and men,
bers of the peoples party have together a
majority of 100000"
"Are the people of the west feeling an inter
est in the New York situation2"
"Yes; very great. l found all eyes turned on
New York wherever went and anxious inquiries
on the part of democrats as to what is likely to
happen here"
And what did you tell them?'
THAT Cleveland will carry the state. Our
people are getting into line thoroughly and
everybody is going to take hold for the ticket"
''Iou are going into the campaign here then,
yourself2"
"Yes. have placed my time and services at
the disposal Of the committee absolutely. l
found more than 100 letters my arrival,
after me to make dates for speeches, but have
placed myself under the directions Of the state
and national committees and expect to go to
work for the success of the democratic nominees
at once"
'i'ohoos FIGHT IN VIRGINIA.

Every Few days some virginia democrats make
thelr appearance mere ana tell the members OF

cessity for assistance Tor the democrats In that
state. On the other hand; the repupilcans are
appealing TO their national committee for help.
