Over IN old Virginia the situation was even
brighter There had been facticnal disputes
there between Colonel Lamb and other Repub-

satisfactorily owing to interviews with MI
Hanna held by ex-Congressman Bowden and
Colonel Brady as well as other Virginia leaders.
II was also added that there was great revolt
against the Chicago ticket on the part OF the
honest Democrats in Virginia, and hopes were
entertained that the State could be carried for,
Mckinley. Much had been done to placate the
factions in Delaware. and an electoral ticket
would be named that both the Higgins and Al
Alexis factions could unite upon. Mr.. Scott said
that all this peacemaking was a great deal TO

was much elated.
