Kinlcy stood good chance 10 carry

II told my New York friend that some
body was imposing on his credulity: that
Mckinley had no more chance OF success
in Virginia than he had OF succeeding
Queen Victoria, and that the army Of
boiling Democrats would pan out cor
porars guard in November. | further in
formed hi that Virginia would give Bryan

10 give his reasons for thinking Virginia
will give Bryan the biggest majority OF

IL invariably turns out that the speaker
becomes suddenly most uncommrnica-

from that time forward his discourse Is

give figures upon which he bases his
opinion. The long and the short OF 1t Is
that the belief Is universal amongst those
who know anything Of the politics OF
the State that there Will be wholesale
stufing Of the ballot-boxes IN the coming
election. and that the majority for Bryan
can be made whatever the managers
