The county election excited more

Public sentiment here was strongly in
favor of Griffin, who has many friends.
Residents Of the Gas and Water tract
vote at Ballahack, Crystal Springs and
the West End at Tinker creek, and not
less than fifty votes went for Griffin

Opposing Liquor I.icenses

RICHMOND. Va, May 25.-The ladies'
OF Henrico county, in which this city is
located, are making determined fight
against the sale OF liquor within it's
borders. An application was made to
Judge Minor. of the county court,
to-day for license to sell LIQUOR near
the suburbs. The applicant was Mrs.
r. b. Johnson and she appeared in
court accompanied by counsel. About
twenty lady residents Of that portion
OF the county were in court to protes st
against the issuance Of license. This
assemblage of the fair sex evidently
overawed the court. When the appli-
cant's counsel appealed to know II he
was no; right on some point, Judge
Minor replied evasively: "I don'tknow;
| am afraid to say what think" The
Judge is one OF the most fearless men,
but the large attendance OF lady pro-
testsnts was to much for him.

NORFOLK. Va May 25.-Some wee rs

To- day the trial came up and Captain
Mushbach assisted the commonwealth.
Tonight the jury, after being out several
hours, brought in verdict of guilty,

Griflin's majority. .........

SALEM, May 25.-Seldom has there
been greater interest shown in an cleo
ton here than that of yesterday. Almost
all day business was practically sus.
pended, whilst the main centre of st.
traction was the courthouse yard, where
men were gathered in groups discussing
the situation. The polls opened soon

steady stream from then on, averaging
about one hundred an hour, in deposit.
ing their ballots, 80 that by o'clock
there had been about $50 votes cast.
From then till shutdown the voters came
singly and the total vote was LIT,
as compared with 1899 cast at the Last
falls election.
While the McCauley workers have
been especially diligent during the can
vass, the Griffin leaders worked like
bees all day, and it is thought at the
closing Of the polls that he had a very
handsome majority here, though, as
many tickets were scratched, 1t would
probably take all night to count the
vote. Many experienced local polite
ians figured it out tonight that Griffin's
majority at Salem would be sufficient,
with only ordinary luck at the other
precincts In the county, to give good
majority, but with the remembrance OF

bitterness had been aroused between
Hough and some of the local leaders
and they seized upon the candidacy OF
s. X. Dickerson to shove snickersnee
into Hough, which they did by small
majority. Some days before the primary
j. A. Mcconnell sent Hough word that
he was after Hough's scalp. He didn't

The quietest and most orderly cleo.
ton that was ever known in the history
OF the city was held yesterday for the
election Of the city treasurer and two
Councilmen from each ward.
1t was an ideal spring day and all day
long the bright May cum was unobscured
by even the shadow of cloud. OF
course the election Of Chas. w. Thomas
was conceded and but little interest was
taken in the vote.
The defeat of Houston in the Third
ward was a great surprise, as he was
regarded as one OF the strongest men in
the ward. But there seems to have
been difference with Everett Sproul,
who has hitherto been strong sup.
porter of his uncle, and that young gen
tlemen simply cyarved the ground from
under the feet Of the doughty Republi-
can leader.
The result will probably be serious
split in the Republican party in Roam
oke and the tanning of smoulde ring en-
bers into red hot fire in the near future.
The present outlook is very unfavorable
to q strong and cohesive Republican
organization in Roanoke this fall.

Tho scene around the First ward was
remarkably quiet all day. There was
no opposition in this ward 10 the Demo

the record previously made, that this is

at any time quite number of voters
could be seen around the polls. From
the start George Ramsey seemed to have
"cinch" on the voters, and the ques-
ton was: "Will i. be Ramsey and
Houston or Ramsey and Boehm." Be-
sides the regular Republican ticket for
Hawkins and Boehm there were a num-
Der OF other tickets. All Of them con-
tanned the name of Charles w. Thomas
