Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-10-09

fnx fine work. 1t is said that his speech
IA the debate with Mr.. Hupard. The he.
publican candidate. and Mr. Edward
lyons. at Lexington, was one OF TUG
ab,est and most effective presentations
OF Democratic doctrine heard there IN
many years.
The Democrats have every commence OK
ability 20 carry the counties Oh Apponi".-
tox, Buckingham, Fluvanna, ana Cumoei
land, which lie east OF the Blue hiose,
and hope 10 do as well IN those west OF
thu mountains.
~ THE FIFTH is SAFE.
II was thought at one time that there
was some doubt OF the reelection OF MI
Swanson in the Fifth Distrlct, ana ne
went 10 work In dead earnest. calling 10
his help senator Daniel. Attorney-Gene-
raj Montague, and other speakers OF note
hut II is now thought the district Is aO-
,solutely safe.
The fact that the Republican candidate
Senator Edmund Parr, OF Franklin, mas
such abundant means, caused the Demo
cratic managers 20 fear that they might
not be able TO cope with him, as iuhus
this year are quite limited But recently
AIR. Parr has so persistently spoken IN
advocacy OF his candidacy that MI. SWah-
sou has had all fears removed. IL is
said his chief fear now Is that MI. farr
will quit talking, and put more money INTO
the campaign.
THE OTHER DISTRICTS SAFE
The only districts in the State as to
which there can be the least possible
doubt have been named. The result III
every other seems as certain as any
thing OF future occurrence can be-
In the Second District the fight is I'M
usually tame, for the Second, where there
have been so many holly contested cane
paigns. but the election OF William a.
Young, the Democratic candidate, is prac-
tically assured. There are two candl-
dates there, claiming 10 be the regular
Republican nominees, and the love which
does not exist between them would sup
ply q stock for an the sects in Christen-
dom. Indeed. so bitter is the feeling De-
tween the Wise and Holland factions,
that many Republicans say that III the
event OF their candidate being called OIL
by the National Committee they VIII
vote for Mr.. Young, rather than support
the representative of the rival faction.
So the success OF the Democratic candi-
date Is assured.

paiRn in the Third District thus far, but
