RICHMOND, Va, Get 20, 1892
The political situation in Virginia is reaching
tangible PROPORTIONS. The leaders of the three
parties for the first time are beginning to figure
upon the res ult. Careful estimates are being
made and tbb managers are no longer at sea as
to the result according to their own figures
The result il: that the democrats are more hope
full. They say that il election day had been a
month ago Cleveland would have lost the state.
but now they claim that the electoral vote will
go democratic by at least 10000.
The third party leaders are not ss sanguine
as to the electoral vote as they were a month
ago. They realize the fact that Weaver was a
heavy load to carry in Virginia. One Of them
said to The STAR correspondent that he never
had any hopes of Weaver doing any big things
in the south. That he was not the choice of the
southern delegates to the Omaha convention,
and that while he may aid Harrison in break
ing the solid south no one expected that he
(Weaver) would carry a single southern state.
A CHARGE AND ITS DENIAL.
A sensation has been caused in political cir
cles by charges alleged to have been made by
Gen. James G. Field, the populist vice presi-
Dental candidate against Gen. r. E. Lee Gen
Jubai A. Early ut public meeting in this city
few days since stated that Gen. Field had
charged that Gen. Lee allowed his soldiers to
commit depredations in Pennsylvania during
the war. The charge created the greatest ex-
element among ex-confederates, and it has no
doubt lost hundreds Of votes to the populist
cause in the state. Gen. Field has the follow
ing to say on the subject: ~ deny the charge,
and if anybody AYERS it say he is a liar and
slanderer." There are those, however who testify
to having heard Gen. Field make the charges.
