THE SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.
Ex-Chairman Ellyson Confident That we
VIII Carry Nearly Every District.
To Mp E1itor of he Dlspatch :

RICHMOND, VA, NDNNmOOi " ANS~'
To The Editor of he Dispatch:
The outlook in Virginia is in every way
favorable to Democratic success on next
Tuesday. and confidently anticipate that
we will carry the State Tor the electoral
ticket by handsome majority;
Our campaign has been well managed,
and in a large sense an educational cam
paion. for not in many wears mas there
been so much public speaking as during
tho mast three months and the wisdom OF
this policy has been well demonstrated by
the changes which have taken place WIN
in the last sixty days. At one time Demo;
cratic supremacy was seriously mehacee
NV the disposition on the part OF many OF
o,r vnters to cast their ballots for the
People's party ticket; but u second SOBER
thoupht has led many hundreds OF
them and / may say thousands OF them,
20 abandon their original purpose
and 10 continue their allegiance to- the
democratic party. | think this has been
LARGELY due to the information on the SUD
iect of the tariff, currency, ana the Iotee
bill, which has been given Win so lhuGh
force and clearness by many OF our speak
ars The people have literally been
tansht TO see the error OF their way, L
feel assured that we will carry, certainly
eioht of the ten congressional dlsTicts-
that Il. eli except the Second and FOURTH
and sball be much disappointed II we DO
NOT carry those districts and elect Tyler
and Epes.
IN THE FOURTH AND SECOND.
The Fourth District has been the battle
,rnund i'm this campaign. IL is there tnat
our foTces have met the most stubborn re,
s,sta,,ce. Init we are we'll organized, ana
our contest in that district mas peen
managed with fine ability. In tne conyen-
ton that nominated Mr.. Epes Two yeaIs
600. l smoke of our party IN the fourtn
district as the Stonewail Brigade OF
the Democracy of Virginia l be-
lieye the work they will have done
i'm this campaign will still further Justify
their elalm TO such distinction. Nhilst VIC
have fearful odds to contend against (ana
the detection from our RANKS 10 lnlIu -
partyism is serious), yet believe IA tnis
case 1t will prove not 20 pe Iatai; 49,
the ballots many OF those who have
thought that they would vote TOT weaver
and Field will be found casting tnei pai"
lois for Cleveland and Stevenson.
In the Second District We have some OF
the most skllful and energetic party leaders
in the State--men who are accustomed 70
face great odds aud who have always peen
ioyaI TO the Democratic party anu reauy
10 battle for the supremacy OF Democratic
taar viii do this year as they did two
vssys ago. and elect the Democratic candi-
data for Congress in that district. but
whether our friends in the, Second and
Eonrth Districts shall be able tas think
they will 10 overcome the. great odds
srs,nst them or not, they will at any rate
90 reduce the Republican vote as TO enable
ne "a give Q handsome majority for the
electoral ticket 10 the State.
