TWO POLITICAL FORECASTS.
A DEMOCRATIC AND A REPUBLICAN PREDICTION
AS TO WEST VIRGINIA

Washington, Aug. q (SpecaD.-Two views Of the
political outlook illustrated at the White
House to-day. Among the four or five prominent
callers were Representative Criggs of Georgia and
Serator Scott Of West Virginia. Speaking of poll
tics. Mr. Griggs said:
There is not much politics in Georgia so far and
q Is q little early make definite predictio r1s
! honestly believe. however. that the Democrats
are IN much better shape now than in 1886 and in
as good condition fer victory they were in 1872
7 have Just seen Representative Clayton Of Ala
pama He Is inakins speeches in West Virginia
lie says the Democrats are to carry that
State this year. DO not believe anybody doubts
that We VIII elect the next House. Everything
points that way.
After Mr.. Griggs came Senator Scott who IS an
active member Of the Republican National Com
mittee. He went over the political situation with
the President. Later he expressed the greatest
confidence in Republican victory. Everything is
looking we'll" he said. The weather is so hot that
neither side Is doing much now but the cafnpa!gn
viii warm up IN q Jew weeks. The irnperislgt talk
Of the Democrats is falling fat. They will have
70 begin playing on another string or make no
race worth mentioning. There IS absolutely no
doubt OF West Virginia. Tho State will give a
larger Republican majority than 1t did four years

and dumfounded by the discovery that It
gave Indiana to Bryan by 1900 majority General
Kitchener ridculed the story absurd, for the
one would be useless ct this time. Another reason
that the State close for either side have
IS O0l majority. General Kitchener is the State

tority Of four years ago may be slightly reduced
