to Sunset.
Tomorrow will be election-day in every
county IN the State.
Richmond will also elect City Ireasurer. AS
vet Mr. John X. Chidrey, the nominee OF the
Democratic primary, has no oppOsitlon' Inc ne
publcans may spring a candidate UNEXPECTEDLY,
and for that reason II would DO the part OF eau
iton for every Democrat In tho city TO cast ms
ballot, as all the polls will be open from sunrise
TO sunset -
In Henrico particularly the fight is going TO be
n nretty one For about twenty years the county
has been in the hands Of the Republicans, but IN
the fall of 1850 q much-needed purglng OF the
poll-books was had, and as consequence the
nominee for the House of Delegates was elected
by a small majority. -.
Since thar time the number OF Democrats VINO
have registered is largely in excess OF the Ke-
publIcans and there Is every reason TO believe
that II the former will vote they VIII certainty De
The Democratic candidates are:
For Treasurer, William II. Brauer.
