Colonel Tazewell Elicit is "A Richmond
man. When only fifteen years of age he
could have been seen at the polls in the III
lysOn-C hahOon municipal contest espOusing
the cause of EllysOn and Democracy, and
ready TO lay down his life if necessary, for
the Vindication of what he believed TO be
the best interests of the people, which be-
lief has been thoroughly endorsed by subse-
quent events.
At an early age he entered the Virginia
Military Institute, graduating with the
highest hOnOrs as Captain of Company "B.'
lie adopted the law as a profession, and at
once stepped into lucrative practise. He
took deep interest in all matters Of public
moment, and attracted public notice. He
is bold and fearless advocate and fine de
batter. He became member Of the City
Democratic Committee, served term
as its president, and was also "A MEM
Der of the State Democratic Commit
tee and chairman of the Third Congressional
Committee. He has been canyasser at
large for the state during several cam
paigns, and was a congressional elector on
the Cleveland ticket during the last presi-
dental election. Colonel Elletts friends,
recognizing his fine abilities, persuaded him
90 announce himself a candidate for Con-
gress al the next election, and he entered
the field AT a late hour. He has made
pressing and vigorous contest, ana has
clearly demonstrated how strong hold he
has on the Richmond voting populace by
the extremely hattering following that is
shown in the number Of delegates-elect that
have declared him 10 be their first choice.

At 1880 Yesterday the Democratic Con-

to second choice be stricken out, and till
3:1j nothing further was effected. Finally

George ID. Wise il well known in the halls
of National legislation. He commenced
life as "A page In the United states Senate.
and for years has been the representative
of the Richmond district in the lower house
OF the National Legislature. He succeeded
General Joseph T., Johnston. and has been
continuously reelected since. This time
he was deprived Of his certificate Of election
and Republican, who failed to receive
votes enough 10 entitle him 10 the place,
was put in the seat TO which Captain Wise
was elected. Previous 10 his election 10
Congress. the people of Richmond honored
Capt.. n Wise by making him their Common
Wealth's Attorney. II was in this field that he
first drew the marked attention of the pub
lie. He became known as fearless advO-
cate and keen observer of men. In he
celebrated Hillary Page case he displayed
the greatest Judgment, and unraveled the
mystery Of the burning, at different times,
of property belonging TO Colonel Frank c.
Ruflin, Of Chesterfield, until he fixed the
guilt upon Page, who then confessed
the deed and paid the death penal
" for its commission. When he was
sent 10 Congress he frequently gave
without charge the benefit of his legal
ability to clients here in distress. This
made him hosts of friends, and devoted
ones at that. This has caused HIM TO have
in the approaching contest adherents that
will be found ceaseless in their effects 10 re-
elect him. Captain Wise lives in Rich
mOnd, aud is yet in the full vigor Of man.
