HANOVER AND CAROLINE.
The Work Going Bravely Onward.
Clubs Hendquarters-Reg
ti0ns, Personals. dc.

The Democrats OF Hanover and Caroline
! have no doubt at all about electing Wick
ham. That confidence is shared by the
best-informed people OF this city. Colonel
Jones may be "mighty smart" but every
move he makes will be watched. The
scheme 10 transfer colored voters from
Richmond (where their votes can be OF no
service) to Hanover will not work. There
are too many watchful eyes.
The district Is Democratic. Daniel car
ried it. So did George Wise and Massey,
and we have better organization there
than ever before. Besides that, Wickham
will get some negro votes. 1t is believed
that for every white man who votes for
Jones there will be one or two negroes to
vote for Wickham.
CLUB HEADQUARTERS.
The Democratic clubs have so far estab-
lished headquarters as follows Clay Ward,
10 west Broad: Monroe, Main between
Second and Third; Madison, in Piedmont
building; jefferson, under st. Charles
Hotel.
The chief object OF these headquarters is
to help Democrats to qualify themselves to
vote. Our people may freely call upon the
gentlemen in charge 10 give them informa-
ton as to transfers; a. to original registra-
tions; as to taking out naturalization pa
pers, &C., DC.
