recognized by the Democratic Committee.
1t is expected that at least two more can
didstes will be entered.
The registrars have had very quiet day
of It, There have been very few new
names entered upon the books. and very
few transfers. The fact that there will DO
no opposition to the Democratic nominees
will account for the lack of interest IN
registration.

Mr.. w. J. Chappell. member of the Com
mon Council from the Fifth Ward, to an-
nounce himself candidate before the
Democratic primary for the House OF
Delegates.
Mr.. X. X. Ramey, the Democratic nomi--
nee for the House for Prince George and
Surry counties, was in the city to-day. He
speaks very encouragingly OF his pros
poets. and though he has active opposition
is confident of his election.

publicans of this section are talking the
Fourth district will send delegates to tho

strenuously oppose General Malone. They
do not want him to continue as State chair
