State Senator w. B. McIlwaine. OF
PETERSBURG, who is one OF the electors at \
.arge on the Democratic ticket was,herei
lo-uhy. he takes u hopeful view OF the !
situation. He believes the Democrats
are going to win and pass laws that will
result In restoring prosperity in a large
measure. Mr. Mcllwaine says there are
not great many Democrats III his sec-8
ton who are going to vote for McKfn-
lev. Some who have been talking of
bolting are coming to the support of
bryan, he states. The Senator expeccs
Democratic ticket.
The outlook for the Republicans and
gold Democrats to agree upon q candi-
GATE Tor Congress is not encouraging to
the fuSion advocates. In fact, ii Is not
at all likely that the Republicans will
be able to decide upon one name. The
two factions are farther apart than eyer
before. All the Republicans, are looking
for is man who will dispense ptitron-T
kinley. AS they look at it, the nomi-
nee. whether or not he Is elected. will
be consulted when 1t comes to giving out /
the Offices. Mr.. Edgar Allan is said to :
desire the nomination.. He could not
get the support of the Bahen- Mitchell
people nor that of the gold Democrats.
Those who are somewhat familiar with
the situation say 1t will make little, dlf-#
ference who gets the nomination. for
Judge Waddill will be the dispenser OF
offices IL Mckinley is elected.
The steamer Virginia, of the new Balti-
more line. was still stuck fast upon
rock below Dutch Cap to-day. "A force
work upon her and 1t was expected TO

seriously damaged. She will go, to NsW-S \
port News for repairs. While the Viz
Einia is disabled the Enoch Pratt will
run between Baltimore and Richmond.
