that it is possible for virginia's electoral vote
to be cast for Weaver and Field. While il is
more probable that either Cleveland or HArri-
son may carry the state, at the same time II
would not startle the careful calculator to see
the electoral vote cast for Weaver in Novem-
Der. Every word and action Of the populist
leaders indicate that they have strong hopes Of
success at the polls. They are managing their
canvass well and are succeeding admirably in
holding their men together and keeping them
at work. They have aroused . remarkable
state OF activity among the farmers and the
iaooring classes in general. The third party
SPEAKERS create enthusiasm where the words Of
eloquent and popular democrats fall unnokiced
The farmers no longer listen to democrats or
read democratic Journals
The third partyites have nominated con-
gressional candidates in every district in the
state. This was quite q surprise to many, - It
was understood that no nominations should be
made in the second and ninth districts, where
the republicans are contesting. Action in these
two districts was DELAYED until short time
since, when suddenly conventions we're called
and candidates placed In the field The action
was finally taken to allay the suspicion that any
agreement was in effect between them and the
republicans.

One Of the lenders recently said to The
