TUESDAY Will be between Democrats and
Republicans for Presidential electors
and between Democrats and Populists
for the Congressional delegation. Tho
bargain between tho Populists and Re-
publicans is evidently complete and eff
fective. The Weaver ticket will receive
very light vote in Virginia, and the
Peoples Congressional tickets, exec pit
in ono district will receive tho united
support OF the Republicans.
The Democrats havo discovered bal
lot with Weaver and Field at tho head
as tho Populist candidates for President
and Vice President and the Republican
nominees for electors followed by the
Populist Congressional candidates.
They allcge that this ticket will BIO cir
culated to deceive the Peoples party
voters and decoy them into tho Republi-
can ranks or that 1t is evidence OF COM
plete fusion.
Chairman Gordon has issued an ad-
dress in which he reviews tho issues and
conduct of the campaign, claiming that
the organization is strong and that
Cleveland will be elected.
No State or local elections are held
this year and only national issues enter
into the Campaign. Tho Democrats
have made determined fight to main
tain their solid delegation in Congress,
and predict that this will be the result
of Tuesdays election. The Republicans
following the lead Of Malone carly in
tho campaign decided that their chances
to break this solid delegation were more
favorable in the support of the Populist
nominees, and tho Weaverite committee
a iTll ut n OF 81 tI0
tives to DO elected to the Fifty.third
Congress.
In the First district tho contest is
between Hon. VIM. A. Jones, the pre-
sent incumbent, and Orris A. Browne,
tho Peoples party nominee, and a
brother of ex-Cong ressman Browne, who
represented the district in the Fiftieth
and Fifty first Congress as Republican
and who went under with the tidal wave
Of 90. The Populist candidate has the
support of the Republicans and his
election Is claimed as certain, while the
Democrats assure that their party has
gained rather than lost in the past two
years.
The Second district, in which a Re-
publican majority was reversed two
years ago, is also fighting ground. L.
Gardner Tyler, son of the Aate President
Tyler, is tho Democratic standard
bearer. IL. S. Collier, Populist nomi-
nee, will receive the support OF the Re-
publicans and the district is close.
In the Third Hon. George D. Wise,
the Democratic incumbent, is opposed
by Walter e. Grant. Populist nominee,
who is Endorsed by the Republicans.
The Populists claim that Grant will bo
elected. However, the district Ia safely
Democratic unless there has been a
n h1ic
Wise's re- election seems to be assured.
The Democrats have made vigorous
campaign and their organization is in
good shape.
In the Fourth district Hon. James T..
Eppes, the present mount bent is CD.
posed by j. Thomas Goode, Populist
candidate, who will also receive Repub-
lican support Mr.. Eppes was nomi-
mated and elected as Democrat two
years ago, largely by Farmers Alliance
votes, and though there is strong ten
dency to embrace Populist ideas in his
district it is thought that he will still
hold enough OF the farmer vote TO pull
him through. The Republican organi-
that Goode will poll the full Kepu blican
strength.
In the Fifth district tho fight is be-
tween Claude A. Swanson, Democrat,
and benjamin 7. Jones. Populist The
Third party has developed consid era bio
strength here and the Democrats have
made very aggressive canvass, which
they say has had tho desired effect.
However, the district may be considered
doubtful
Hon. Paul c. Edmunds carried the
Sixth district two years ago by about
10000 majority. his only opponent being
4hA I,tI III ~
sailing this time will not be quito so
smooth. Thomas E. Cobb, pepulist.
will poll the full Republican strength.
His friends claim that his chances are
good. The actual Peoples party vote
is an uncertain quantity, but the Dem
ocrats OF tho district confidently be.
lieve that it will not 90 sufficient TO de-
feat Edmunds.
j. X. c. Lewis is the Third party op.
ponent of Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall, one
of Virginia's most popular Congress-
men, and the re election of O'Ferrall
seems to BIO assured.
Hon. e. e. Meredith is practically
certain to be "a elected in the Zig 18th
over Il. b. Turner, Populist.
Cyclone jim Marshall does not expect
walk-over in .bo Ninth, but he hopes
TO dofeat II. Clinton Wood, tho only Re.
publican candidate in the state, by a
comfortable majority. Marshall says
that Wood is kin to one in every two
voters in the district, and that it will
require vast amount of popularity to
ov' RI ONE this advantage.
Harry st. George Tucker has made a
deer;u ned fight to retain his seat as o
U.embnr of Congress from the Tenth
district, and he will probably defeat the
