Richmond. June 21.-The Republicans
of Richmond are jubilant over the noni-
nation of Roosevelt at Philadelphia to-
day as the running mate of Mckinley.
They declare that the two will sweep
New York State by an unprecedented
majority and be elected without diff
Guilty.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
are not at all dismayed by the strength
OF the opposition. They say that Roose-
welt, having been so conspicuously be-
fore the country. will be a shining mark
for the Democratic orators, and that
his record cannot stand the search
light which will be turned upon 1t.
In addition. they say a ticket will be
put up at Kansas City which will rally
the Democratic forces and sweep the
entire country.
1t is understood here that a powerful
effort will be made this year to carry
Virginia, and that the Hannaites will be
even more liberal than was the case
In 1896 in their contribution.
About S300,000 came to Virginia to
aid in defeating Bryan in 1896" said
Democrat to-day, land II Is understood
that as much as half a million will be
sent here this time. The Republicans
are counting upon the Gold Democrats
TO aid them in carrying Virginia. but
hardly think they will get much as
sistance from that quarter"
