The campaign is beginning to wax warm
in Virginia, ana there are indications taat
it will set very hot in some sections be-
fore it is over.
The ,lItualum of the Republican STATE
Committee that Congressional nominations
must be made in ali the districts mas been
carried out 10 the letter. and it IS an
nounceI that they propose To fight tor
everything in sight. This announcement,
however, does not seem 10 nave disconceft-
ed the Democratic managers in the sight
est degree. and they are pursuing th2 even
tenor of their way, making the strong
fight everywhere, watch they long. ago
mapped out. ana paying little or no at
tention, apparently. to the fuss when IS
being made by the opposition.
Democratic meetings are being held at
an the County Courts as ttley occur, AMI
the best talent IN the party IS kept con-
stantly on the stump.
THEY WANT OPPOSITION.
The leaders of the party rslcner prefer
that they shall have opposition in all the
districts, as tIley claim 1t Will stimulate
the voters ana help To swell Bryan's ma
jcrity in the State. Chairman E!iyS4h
and Colonel Button both confidently claim
that Virginia viii return ten Democratic
representatives 10 Congress this fail, and
that the Safe will give an increased ma
io1ity for the national ticket. These claims
| are based upon u careful study OF conrL-
| tons in all the Congressional districts. and
| upon the evident determination Of the great
| majority of those who supported Palmer
| and Buc5ner in 1896 to come back inso
