Richmond. Va. Nov. s.-(specinl)--
The Populist and Republican leaders
now say that II they had made the
fight they should have made they
would have carried Virginia. Many of
their gains. they state, were made In
counties where they were unorganiZed.
There Is no doubt of the fact that the
Democratic opposition Is encouraged To
greater efforts. Tho Republicans, es-
pectnlly. are In Il humor to go to work
and try to carry Virginia next year.
On the other hand. the Democrats ar
que that if the opposition had been
more active the Democrats would have
been aroused and II larger majority
would have been the result.
Hon. John S. Wise Is In Richmond to-
day. The object of his visit Is not
known. 1t is possible that he may be
here to assist the Republicans in re-
organizing their State Committee.
The Republican leaders are working
hard to bring all the factions together
SO as to make the election of the Chair
man unanimous. General Edgar Al
len has been here for &; few days, and
General Stith Boiling and others have
been to see him. 1t still looks as If
Colonel William Lamb would he made
Chairman, and also elected TO succeed
General Malone on the National Com
mittrc.
All of the Federal office holders here
are wearing very sad faces since the
election and the average frankly adj
mts that he is going to work to look for
new job. The Republicans, who were
put out of the Postoflicc when the
Democratic administration came into
power. are fond of hanging about the
Custom House ana teasing their sue
ccssors. Major dick" Walker wrote
