fCorcspondence Of the Richmond Dlspa'ch.i
WILLIAMSBURG, VA. March ~, 1888.
The decp interest felt in the approach
ing election was clearly manifest in the
large crowd i'm attendance on County
Court to-day. All OF the candidates were
on hand, giving full scope to their genius in
the persuasive art. Electonccriug has
been reduced TO mathematical eXactness.
Having learned in school days that three
scruples make dram, each candidate
seems to be now trying TO solve the pro-
blem of how many drains it takes to over.
come scruple. The crowd outside largely
outnumbcrcd that within the courthouse
and at times the scene was spirited, cXhib'
iting every shade OF interesting entertain
ment from the strenuous efforts Of some
BeOtian MahOncite TO make things clear to
the unique explanation OF some sable veto
ran rs to how "de sprcmc cote don cided
de cowpond case" According TO notice
posted some time since. the Coalition COM
mittee met to decide whether or not a con-
ventiOn should he held for James Clty
county. The committee adjourned, with
out action, until the April term. Ii is said
that only those within the influence Of the
Lunatic Asylum are in favor OF a cOnyen-
ton, and from the fact that each candidate
and his faction are opposed to one, it is
evident that a good many have gotten tired
OF having MahOne's political hash admins
tered raw.
