G.eAtons Mr.. Harrison is most likely TO
capture the electoral vote Of Virginia. 1t
)! true that 3 number of Repu bhcGns will
vote oar ticket, but not as many IN pro-
portion as Democrats. Yes, the kepubh-

rir.l and the South with the Democratic
tl-akersf'
" I snail not. cannot speak for General
Weaver
HARRISON, AGAIN.
What do You think OF the national out
I COX for your ticket"
oh, j do not think that either Harrison
a. Cleveland will get a majority of the
electoral vote, If that is what you want to
ce, at. In my opinion the election will be
thrown into the House of Representatives
and tho President will be chosen by that
body. Harrison will get larger electoral
vote, sir, than Cleveland"

largest States in the West and in the

her Of States III the South as well as the
