The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1885-09-10

The Democratic Primary on SATURDAY
last, except at the precincts where hot
contest was gotten up between the friends
Of candidates, was farce. Leaving out
the towns of Staunton, Waynesboro,
Greenville and Fishersville, in the latter
three of which there were two tickets.
and the whole vote cast, not counting four
precincts unreported, was 440.
The vote of Staunton was SO per cent.
below that cast for the Democratic ticket,
and the.vote dwindled from that down to
to twelve per cent. at some of the pre-
cincts.
Nowhere was an interest manifested
for the cause itself, and but for the per-
sonal exerntion of friends of the candi-
dates, the whole thing would have fallen
fiat.
The result is uncertain, and the element
of doubt does not seem to diminish as
the time for the Convention approaches.
" hist the friends of Maj. Koiner claim
his nomination, Mr.. Patterson s advocates
dispute it. and point triumphantly to the
result in the district of which both gen
tlemen are citizens. On the Legislative
ticket the friends of Lyle, Echols and
Lightner each seem confident and refer
to figures, whilst J. III. Crawford's back
ers are equally sanguine. The Conven-
tion to-day promises to be warm. There
is only one little word we desire to
whisper and that is, that our country
cousins must be wise as owls if they do
not want to be swallowed up by the Ring.
