VIRGINIA TO STAY In LINE.
O'FGTTall Will Carry The State by
From $4,000 to 10000.


Boasts, but Not Willing to Back
Their Claims in Betting Circles-Re-
ports From All over the State Show
the Democrats Standing Shoulder to
Shoulder.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-There is ev-
cry Indication tonight that the demo-
Gratis tomorrow will elect their state
ticket by from 10000 to 10000 majority
and secure over two-thirds of the mem
bers of the legislature. In every part of
the state the voters are thoroughly
aroused, and this being the case, there is
no fear of defeat. From every section
come reports that are cheering to the
heart of lovers of good government The
apathy that is said to have
existed a week or two ago has disap-
peared, aud now on the eve of the battle
of the ballots, the democracy is in fine
trim for the fray
Among the visitors to the democratic
headquarters to-day was Hon. Joseph T.
Lawless, of Portsmouth. He stated that
the Second district would roll up a
splendid majority for O'Ferrall, and send
practically solid delegation to the as.
sembly Mr.. Lawless is of the opinion
that Col OFerrall will win by hand
some majority.
HALIFAX GOING DEMOCRATIC.
Hon. H. r. Pollard, who has rendered
the party excellent service on the stump,
has just returned from Halifax, where
he has been making speeches. Halifax
is one of the counties claimed by the
populists but MIR Pollard says that the
l., 4 -
democrats something like 500 majority.
Wherever he spoke, he had large audi
ences and the voters appeared to be in
full sympathy with the Democrat tic party
Like Mr.. Lawless, Mr. Pollard believes
that when the returns come in tomorrow
night they will show. that the state
ticket of the democrats has carried the
state by large majority and the legisla-
ture is democratic.
GOOD FOR $4,000 TO 30,O0O
Another person, who had excellent op-
portunities for learning how the tide is
drifting is Col Meade Haslzins, who has
been almost constantly on the stump.
Col. Haskins, it is said, places Col. O'E'er-
rails majority at 10000. In this connec-
tion, it may be stated that betting here in
Richmond is on $4,000 majority for Col
OFerrall. The populists are said to be
unwilling to back their claims by their
money. At any rate, no third party man
has been found who is rash enough to bet
on the election of Capt. Cooke.
PROHIBITION FIGHT.
Up in Augusta county, the greatest
whisky producing county in the state,
the prohibition craze has taken hold of a
great many people. The most exciting
canvass witnessed there in forty years
is about to close The prohbitionists
concentrated all their forces and strength
in Augusta. They have made a
desperate effort to defeat Hon.
Edward Echols for reelection
day is TO the effect that the democrats
will carry the county for their entire
ticket.
ALL QUIET AT BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, Md. Nov. 6.-From the US
ual quiet that prevails tonight, one
would scarcely believe that it is the eve
Of an election. The finishing arrange
ments are being made at the various head
quarters, but there are no demonstrations
To-day Judge Phelphs denied the applica-
tlOn Of the candidates of the citizens
party, who charged that the supervisors
OF the election had Disseminated against
them in the makeup of the official ballot
The court did not go into the merits of
the case, but denied the application on
the ground that it would not be time to
have others printed.
NJ kINLEY CLOSES HIS CAMPAIGN
Cleveland o., Nov Gov Mckinley
tonight closed his campaign with a speech
at the Music hall Every one Of the
1900 seats was filed and even the streets
leading to the hall were packed to suffo-
cation. He made a speech which aroused
his audience to the highest pitch of en-
thusiasm.
THE OUTLOOK IN IOWA.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 6.-The election
outlook has not changed materially since
last night. Both paroles held closing raj
lies in all of the large cities throughout
the state, but these were cal
culated more to arouse the people
than to make new converts. Chairman
Blythe of the Republican party, before
leaving the city to-day, estimated Jack
sons plurality at 1900. Last night he
made it $1,000. He also claims good ma
Jorlty in both Houses Of the legislature.
q. B. Cummings who has just returned
from speaking tour, puts it at at -, 900
and bases his estimate on the disposition
OF the eanti-prohibition republicans, among
whom he has been a leader, while Con-
gresham Hull places it at 10000.
THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.
At the democratic headquarters the esti-
mates are more modest, but the demo-
Gratis have not been making a boastful or
loud campaign. Chairman Fuller has
0oQe his work. quietly. and tonight
reels confident that Gov. Boies
VIII be reelected by the same plurality
aS he had two years ago, nearly 5000.
ms, he says, win be sufficient to carry
IAe whole state ticket. He believes they
VIII also be able to control the Senate.
another member of the committee places
COY Boies' plurality at $1,000.
=, NO changes have been made in either
IIe prohibition or polulist estimates.
me lormer claim good chance for 30, GOO,
ana the latter for $4,000.
Inc prohibitionists will draw their vote
rom republican sources. and the populists
rom democratic sources mainly. No one

ILlle as 10 the strength of these two
IIlnor parties, and therefore all estimates
