General Edgar Allen, one OF the
prominent leaders of the Virginia re-
publicans, now in this city, says the ma
lional republican committee has, up 10
this time, been standing off from either
wing of the republican party IN ms
State. but that he thinks their presenG.
consultation with Representatives OF
both those wings in New York looks as
if they have at length reached the con-
c!usion that it is about time for them to
decide which wing to support, ana tnal
they will do so in short order, Is tne
present condition of the party III the
State is by no means satisfactory.
Jude Hughes, of U. S. court for the
eastern district of Virginia, is here to-
dav from Norfolk on his way to Rich
mond. where he has to be next week at
the meeting of the new L. 5. court OF
appeals. The Judge thinks the South
will be solid for the democrats but that
New York will go republican and Har-
rison be elected. He says there is very
little interest manifested on either side,
for the reason that the questions that
should be the most important ones con l
seem to be factors in the campaign.
The Judge will vote for Mr. harrison;
1t is understood here that the national
republican committee has abandoned an
hope of carrying a single southern state,
with the exception of West Virginia:
wbirh Secretary Elllins has promised
Mr.. Harrison he will carry for him, but
will help the third partyites to the ex-
tent of its ability to elect anti,deAo-
cratic members of the State legislatures
in the South, so that the present election
laws in the southern States may be re-
pealed and substituted by others like
those General Malone inflicted upon
Virginia during his regime, and that
the third partyitcs and the repubiicans
in the southern States have entered into
such an agreement and will work to-
rether to effect its object.
1t was said at the White House tins
morning that Mrs. Harrison rested
fairly we'll last night and is compare
lively comfortable this morning.
The Virginia democratic ASSOCIATION
of this city will be addressed, at Their
meeting tonight, by Messrs. John
Goode of this city, Walton Moore OF
Fairfax and Charles Janney Of Loudoun
county. Va. The association now has
three hundred members, and is doing
GOOD work in finding out Virginia voters
nj this CITY and making arrangements
for sending them home to vote ON cleo
ton day.
peopje from North Carolina here to-
day say the democratic prospects there
are improving daily, that the voters are
learning that third partyism is repuibli-
canism in very thin disguise, and that
"a white mans government Is begin
ming to be the cry that dampens all the
tbiya party meetings and that is bringing
back 10 the democratic party nearly al
of those who left it TO follow after
Weaver, Field and Mrs. Lease.
Col. Dudley has been snubbed again
He wrote letter, to be printed here
during the late meeting of the u. a. Il.
advising all the members of that organ
izntion to vote, not for NJ. Harrison
! but the republican, tIOhoe'
was given to one of Mr.. Harrison 5 most
intimate friends, but has never beer
printed. and the current rumor IS thai
it was suppressed by orders from the
White House, where it was thought Mr
Dudlcy's conspicuous support at tht
present time would do the cause more
harm than good. :.
