The campaign has been fought in ad-
vance and the ballots to-day will be the
/ elimination OF the earnest work Of the
/ Democratic party. and that Of the So
called Populist party. and its Republican
allies for months.
Every Democrat should lay aside his
/ private affairs to-day and cast vote for
/ honest Democratic government against the
I Populist- Republican coalition.
There are three tickets in the field:
| The Democratic, the Popuist. and the
Prohibition. The two latter expect 10
draw from the Democratic ranks, and
have made their entire fight against the
party which. now after lighting an old
enemy for many years. is for the first
time in a position 10 cary out its policy,
and must defend itself against those for
whom 1t battled.
Let every true Democrat work and vote
to-day against the Calamity Howlers."
who have no other platform than abuse
OF the old party.
There is every indication that the Demo-
cratic State ticket Will be elected to-day
by a handsome majority, and that, with
the exception OF a few counties, the Legis
lative representatives Will be returned, Civ
ing large Democratic majority IN both
the Senate and the House.

feeling assured that good results would be
shown for their work to-day. The re-
ports coming in from ell sources have
grown more encouraging as The battle has
progressed, and the skies were brighter
on the eve of battle than at any time
In the campaign.
Although the Populisls have waited un-
til the last momN0t before openly co-aiesc-
ing with the Republicans, their inten-
tlons were well known and the address by
Chairman Southwark, OF the Republican
County Committee, calling on Republi-
cans to support the Populist ticket, was
not q surprise.
The Democratic ticket is one Of which
every Virgirian may well be proud. Hon.
Charles II. O'FerIdll as a congressman has
made a splendid record, and will do honor
to the GovernOrship. Major Kent, candi-
date for the second place on the ticket,
is a high and honest Nirginian whom Ii
is a delight 10 honor. and AttOrney-Gen
eral Scott has fled the position so we'll
that his return is the just award Of merit
The local ticket is "a splendid one, and
the candidates viii be elected by large
majority.
The Democrats have only one ticket.
DO not be fooled by any of the numerous
bogus tickets that will be circulated.
