RICHMOND, Oct. IA dispatch from
! Lynchburg says: The election in this
/ city progressed quietly to-day until 5
o'clock, p. m, when there was a great
deal of excitement. Ned Horton, col
ored, who voted the Conservative ticket,
was assaulted by the Radical negroes,
who were enraged by the vote he gave.
Horton lied, but was overtaken at the
market house by his pursuers who
sought to take his life and commenced
a violent attack upon him. Horton
drew a revolver and fired five times,
wouuding three of them MORALLY. The
military arriving at this time, dispersed
the crowd and took Horton under ar
rest and protection. The negroes voted
en- masSe with the extreme Radical side.
The Herald's special, dated Washing
ton, ll:20 P. NJ, says: At the close of
the polls tonight. in Richmond, the
vote stood, 1907 whites, 4.252 colored
| white majority, 445: In one ward the
polls at which white votes were re-
ceived, were closed at six o'clock, and
the polls for cOlored voters kept open
till half past seven. During this time
100 negro votes were Polled. The polls
in three of the largest wards OF the
city, will be reOpened in the morning,
