Col. Fellows, who spoke at Rich
mond night before last, passed through
here last night on his way back to
New York. He says he is perfectly
confident that his State will 90 for
Cleveland, and by large majority, and
that from what he heard in Richmond
he thinks the democratic majority IN
the Old Dominion will exceed the ex-
pectation of the most sangtlne.
The following changes i'll the 1ourth
class postoflices of Virginia were maze
today Holstein Springs, Scott county,
Alice f. Cox appointed postmaster
vice Daniel F. Slower, resigned Isaac,
southampton county, Isidor Blanstein'
vice A. A. Holland, resigned.
Among the visitors here is MIR. Chas.
Janney, of Leesburg, Virginia He
saws a grand democratic barbecue VIII
be given on the court house green III
his town tomorrow, and speeches will
be delivered by Mr.. Holmes Conrad
and others. Mr. Janney says Loudoun
county will give anger democ;a .ic
majority next month than she has done
at several previous elections.
Senator Hill Of New York passed
through here this morning on his way
to Lynchburg, where he will speak to-
night. He was met here by Il committee
appointed at citizens meeting at
Lynchburg. consisting of Messrs. Otey,
Adams, Diggs and Williams, who es-
corted MIN to their city. AT the depot
he met Congressman Meredith of the
Alexandria district, who introduced to
him .eve al democrats liom that dis
trict.
Private intelligence at democratic
headquarters here to-day is to the Ell
feet that even Senator Quay, who is
now at the national republican head
quarters, says the republicans had bet
ter abandon their efforts to carry New
York, as it too late to do any thing
now, and exert them in other states.
From California also it is learned that
the best informed republicans of that
State not only believe that ii will go
Tor Cleveland, but that the legislature
will be democratic and elect demo-
cratic Senator III place of Senator Eel
ton. 1t really seems as if the people
have determined to 90 the whole dem
ocratic hog next month.
a letter received from General Ma
hone last Tuesday by the president OF a
Virginia republican club ofthis city tells
the +. cipient III re is no money for the
camp lisn in Virginia, but urges him to
r, to get rs many votes for the lepub-
q electoral ticket as possible. The
lctie do sn'; contain word about the
Congressional ticket, and the party
who rece.vel it says the House is
going to be democratic anyhow, and
that he thinks General Malone is right
in opposing the running of republican
Congressional candidates this fall. He
says the republicans of Virginia have
made no agreement to vote for the third
party's Congressional nominees, and
that if the names Of those nominees are
or shall be printed on the republican
Presidential ticket, he will scratch It,
AID he knows many republicans who
will do likewise.
The President to-day pardoned Mar
shall Wheeler and Lee Sing, a China
man, convicts who are now lying at tn,
