being Saturday, the 22d instant, interest in the
same is now at fever heat The large number

come so excited as to solicit support in adjoin-
ing counties and the District. In the midst of
all this turmoil and excitement the small poll
ticians are reaping quite harvest of dollars, in
many cases pretending to work for the success
of a certain candidate and at the same time try
