TE.FROsT CONCLUSIONS.

The Virginia Democrats are en-
thusiastie in predicting a solid Dem
ocratic Congressional delegation
from the sold Mother State" Just
what tickles them with such perfect
confidence it is difficult to surmise.
We confess our inability 10 see the
logic Of their conclusions. 1t may
prove case Of building castles in
the air."
Some of the Congressional districts
Of the Ststs-especially in the "Blsck
Belt' section-are largely Republi'
can. There is every reason to believe
that the Republicans will make nom
nations in most of the districts, and
9 desperate fight to elect some OF
their candidates. They have two
potent factors in their favor-the
Administration is theirs, and the
negro is stirred into activity by the
threat Of coming disfranchisemeIt.
Viewed in the light Of reason it is safe
to say the Democrats have reached a
premature conclusion and their faith
may be without foundation.
