THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY
Meet and Decide to Make n sqnaro Fight
for the Offices.

NORFOLK, VA, Feb L.-Special.-A
meeting was recently held in Portsmouth
looking to a selection of candidates to be
run on the part of the Dmocratic party
for the elective offices Ia Norfolk county
next spring. For several years past the
Fusionists Of the county have been In
control. and the best positions have been
divided, the Republicans getting the po-
sitions OF clerk and treasurer, ana the
democrats the Commemorative attorney,
snerif. and n majority ot the board OF
Supervisors. Under the agreements here
tofore no Republican ticket has been run,
and the contests were Fusion and anti
Fusion. producing great discord in the
ranks OF Dem lcracy. The county went
Democratic in the national election by "A
large majority, and It is believed that IL
can be again carried this spring. The
meeting i'm Portsmouth requested District
Chairman j. T. Duke to announce him
self a candidate for clerk A straight-ont
Democratic ticket was arraigned. but at
the very outset a strong fight was COM
menced under the leadership Of Mr. j. {:

county. and Mr.. J. T. Duke to-day VIII

he could risk any more money 1t Is re-
ported that Mr.. Berkeley. who Is an APP
plioant for deputy callector OF internal
revenue I'm this city. will be candidate
for clerk. Mr.. Berkeley has not openly
announced himself, but he is opposed TO
the action OF the meeting held IMPORTS

assumption that there will be division
Of some kind by which the Republicans

Dangers of a Great City" was the at
traction at the Richmond Theatre last
evening. The audience was large ohiy

were only few people In the orchestra
The programme described the play as a
"four-act comedy drama" and the cast
OF characters was made up OF every sort
of person known in the directory OF me-
tropols.
Tn playwrights name was not given
on the programme, for the reason, per-
haps. that he or she does not intend to
mount the ladder of fame with the bur
den of any such effort. 1t is Thoroughly
disconnected dsjointed, bombastic, fool
ish play. full Of mock heroics, and was
played by people who thunder forth even
when they speak of the most common

smiled with sad. sad smiles when they

The play will be repeated at the matinee
