FOUR TICKETS UP.
There are four full State tickets in the
field but only two of them are consld-s
cred seriously by the voters. for tne
Prohibit.Sn4 and Socialist-Labor cand1-s

votes to add any. serious complications
to the situation, and the two old me

LEGISLATIVE FIGHT.
There are hot fights for the Lesisia-
ture in some of the counties, espeClally
in the Valley and Southwest. but as IN
d;catedj above, there is hardly a reason
able doubt that the Democrats Will nave
good majorities in both branches
Indeed if all the Independents and Re
publcans that are running in the he
publican and doubtful districts should be
elected, they could not together control
either branch. There are great many
counties and cities where the Democratic
nominees have no opposition. All the
hcldover Senators, with one exception
are Democrats. so it will be seen that
that body will be Democratic by q large
! majority The Democrats have put up
a fine set OF men for the Legislature
and especially is this true in Southwest
Virginia. and in the Valley, Where theS
have on hand their hardest fights. Party
leaders from these sections believe that
they will be able to return most Oh Their
nominees, and not a. great many VIII pc
lost in other sections of the state.
Twl oofs the Valley districts that are con-
sidered as fighting ground are Rocking
ham county and the Seventh Senatoflai
District. Senator IIeezell thinks the
nominees in his county will pull through.
He has gone home to arrange for mon
ster rally at Harrisonhurs tomorrow.
NIessrs. Montague and Marshall will make
speeches. Col. Catlett and the House
nominees in the Seventh District believe
that with hard work they will be able
to pull through. The Democrats have
nut I'D candidates in every legislative dis
trct in the State save Tazewell and that
composed of the counties Of Floy6 and
Franklin. They have all filed their no
tices according to the provisions OF lie
statute.
EVERY COURT COVERED.
At every court that meets in the State
tomorrow there Will be as many as two
Democratic speakers and at some there
will be three.
Messrs. Montague, Hay and Cyclone
Jim Marshall will be at Harrisonburg;
Capt. Willard and others al Bedford; Ma
sior Anderson and r. Tate Irvine at Jones'
vile Gee Court: Congressmen Jones and
Lassiter at Mecklenburg; Judge w. uor-
don Robertson, Congressman Otey and
Prof. Geo. w. Mills at Salem; Congress
man Rixey at Fairfax; congressman
Swanson and Flood ct Amherst; j. Boyd
Sears at Essex; S. L. Kelley at South
anlpton, and Judge Samuel W. Williams
at Carroll Courthouse. These are but
a few of the most prominent of the ora
tors that are billed for tomorrow. There
are dozens of others, some Of which Will
be found in the official list printed in
another column of The Times, and others
made by local authorities and not pub
licly announced. Chairman Elyson has
his forces well in hand, and has never
made more faithful or diligent fight in
any canpaigzs since he came to the helm
of the party some ten years ago.
THE CITY FIGHT.
There is great activity in the fight here
in Richmond, and the hands OF Chairman
Doherty are being uphelp by all factions
