WILLIAMSBURG, Goth April, 1895.
" Williamsburg polled her three dozen votes at The
election on Monday last. | was present and witnessed
the storm, or rather "lempest i'm a teapot' which was
raised att The Congressional contest had previously
terminated at York by the Withdrawal of Coke from the
canvass, and the departure OF Wise for Accomack, and the
county Candidates alone appeared at the Hastings. MIR.
Anderson addressed a few words to the People and OBJ
served to them that he had no new pretensjons to their
support TO advance, except those of supporting the Ad-
ministration and advocating the election of Van Buren,
10 The Presidency. MIR. Gregory simply replied that his
opinions were of Il decidedly opposite character, and
Dummy, Z" whose opinions were the same as those of
Mr.. Gregory, occupied the attention of the People for
Il short time only. Nevertheless, Notification was too
efervcscent in its character TO permit an election with
in its hot-bcd TO pass oft without some eruption. In
other words, there were two bdtieS at the polls. The
first was between Dummy, the candidate, and one of the
poll-kccpcrs the former making battery on the latter,
for not recording the votes in his favour, instead of his
brother Nully: The second took place between one of
the citizens of the town, a Knight of the THimJie. on the
one part, and II distinguished Nulhiier Of the Gloucester
County Bar, ON the other. With much difficulty, these
parties were kept asunder without blows but he of the
thiinble, on being separated from his antagonist, imme.
diately retired from the Courthouse, and indited a chal-
lcnge, which Ire forthwith despatched, by a friend, to the
Barristcr, demanding satisfaction. How these contests
will finally end, time only can tell The Nullies, find
ing their cause TO be n desperate one, and seeing that
the State is going largely against them, are beginning to
prepare themselves, by practice, before the grand assem-
ofagc OF their "oO,UOU niens who intend, by force OF
arms, to prevent the installation of little Van, on the 4th
of March, 1897. annex statement of the poll:

"One individual, following the example of your I45
l;IchmondeTs, had previously voted in the county for
Congress. In 1888, there was n much greater vote gil
ven IN Williamsburg. Coke then received 105, Wise
4 and Anderson 3 for Congress. No doubt the People,
seeing how things are going on, are unwilling to COM
nit themselves longer TO the direction of Notification.
There arc some symptoms of hesitation even at Head
Qua.tTs. MJaiam q .da'y fntiegc did not poll her cor

perhaps, that she ever gave such a vote. 1t has, never
lluless, been her practice heretofore, and, until the last
and present years. in 1893, one of the candidates beinp
unable to Shame her out of such a course of proceeding,
required that her right of voting should be sworn to,
and thIs reqHisition not being complied with, the vote
was recorded on the bsd Of The poll. With such an en-
ample from the csHgkteaed Faculty Of William * Mary,
| am surprised that your Coal-mine and Cotton Factory
corporations saeNld have voted in Chesterfield as they
did-NaAiieation seems to stick at nothing, however,
in tbe accom- phshment OF its ends, and il will not be LONG.
