RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 16.-The relative
strength of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties in this state will be largely
influenced by the action of the Farmers
Alliance convention which is being held
here to-day. A fusion is said to have
been arranged between the third
party and the Republicans. They will
cast their votes for the third party candi-
dates for congress, and for the Republican
presidential ticket. Many members of the
Farmers Alliance, however, are refusing
to support the third party. The majority
of this element will vote with the Dem
ocrats and herein lies the latter's hopes of
success. II enough Of these can be
weaned away from the Alliance to sup
port the Democratic candidates the state
will go for Cleveland by small majority,
and most OF the congressional candidates
will be returned. The indications now
are that the third party men will capture
the convention, and that the Democratic
alliance men will bolt. With one or two
exceptions all of the present members If
congress from this state will be renomi-
mated.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G.-The hoadquar
ters of the two great parties in Washing
ton are busy at work sending out cam
paign literature and endeavoring to scatter
information on the great issues. Never
before was this branch of campaign work
go actively pushed, and tons of speeches
and pamphlets and all classes of matter
are being distributed from this city,. The
Republican headquarters are in charge
of Capt. II. t. Mckee, who is assistant
secretary OF the national committee, and
he has force of fifty men and women.
To give something like an idea of what
the committee has done and will do, it is
enough to say that no less than 100000
large envelopes and 100000 wrappers
will be used. There will be mailed about
thirty distinct publications, largely de-
voted to the tariff question. Then there
is the labor chart, q map which shows
the average wages paid in each state in
the Union, and which also shows that in
all Republican states the compensation
cratic states, except New Jersey and
Connecticut, wages are less than 81.
More than million of these charts are
beirg circulated. Every day over 900
packages, containing one of each kind of
the documents, are distributed. There
are DO campaign song looks being sent
Out for the committee will not compete
with the many publishers who are in that
line of business.
At Democratic headquarters Secretary
Lawrence Gardener is in command. The
favorite document being sent out is Ser
ator Carisle's tariff speech, while follow
ing it in popularity is Congressman
Bryan's tariff Grafton. But greater than
all is the demand for Henry Georges book 4,
Protection or Free Trade, (which was
so ingenlously slipped in the Congress
ional Record by half dozen of his Demo.
cratic admirers. The greatest demand
for Democratic literature is from the
south, and, strangely enough, they are
being supplied largely with Republican
arguments, the speech Of Congressman
Henderson, Of Iowa, on Gen. Weaver and
Senator Stewards speech on the force

lot of Egyptian corn that stands about
five and half feet high, and promises to
yield splendid crop.
He is now cutting his second crop Of
alfalfa, which will yield about one and
quarter tons to the acre. The alfalfa
sowed on the latter part of June, is now
several inches high, and will furnish
splendid fall, winter and spring pastur-

runaway occurred, about noon yesterday.

broke his harness, and, leaving the
wagon behind him, dashed through the
streets at terrific pace. On Coifax
avenue, he came in contact with an open
cable car, and turned complete somer-

ment on the other side OF the car. There
were four or five people on the seats, and
he struck most of them in his wild flight.
Only one person, however, lady named
Mrs. Mullen, of 106 Ellsworth avenue,
was hurt to any extent, and she is thought
to be internally injured. The horse was
not badly hurt.

THE GIANTS IN TRAINING.
Something About Sullivan and Cor
bett and Their Great Match.

New YORK, Aug. l6.-The sporting fra.
gossip relating to the two giants who are
preparing for the great pionship
battle at New Orleans three weeks
from tomorrow, Sept. 7. That it will
be battle of the giants, for blood, there
can be no doubt. 1t will be the greatest
fistic contest Of modern times.
No reports as to Sullivan's condition
that have been received here have been
overrated. He looks to be in great form,
and barring a blistered heel is the great
est source of wonder to those who have
seen him. He now tips the beam at 2l0
pounds, the stipulated weight. lie may
let up in his training now, and he de-
serves q rest, for he has worked faithfully
for his reputation and the dollars of his
hackers.
The coming fight engrosses him but
little. To the foolish questions of strangers
as to what he thinks of the outcome, he
eays, "Wait until September 7 )" to any
body he knows he has no hesitancy in
saying he will whip Corbett fast.
Everybody leaves the bay with the
opinion that Sullivan has cinch, but a
udy epeub III luo NlClulty vi lOCh n'poi
is apt to dispel that impression somewhat.
1t depends in measure on which you
see last which you will think will win.
Just as they think around Bay Head that
it is Sullivan's fight, 30 they were firmly
convinced down in jersey that Corbett is
the man.
Corbett is confident that Sullivan will
fall before him. To friend he said last
night: 81 can not see how | can be
beaten. can escape from my opponent's
blows, and, being agile on my feet, can
at the same time get in some of my right
handlers" and then concluding he said =:
''Tell folks that will be champion Of the
world next time they see me-"
KILRAIN's OPINION.
Baltimore, Aug. 16.-Jake Kilrain is a
Sullivan man. Speaking of the coming
fight between Corbett and Sullivan, he
said that although the former is good
man, Sullivan is still better and is able TO
fight twenty -four hours at stretch if
properly trained. He says the talk about
Sullivan being broken down is all bosh.
