a prominent politician this evening.

INTEREST IN THE ELECTION.
AS the day Of election approaches the
interest of the people increases. and while
heretofore unusual apathy was shown on
all sides. the voters are beginning To show
that interest which will doubtless bring
out a large vote. Petersburg will give a
good majority for the Democratic ticket
and elect a senator and two members or
the House of Delegates. Neither the Pop
Mist nor the Prohibition ticket will re-
ceiye n large vote in Petersburg.
In the surrounding counties the Popu-
lists are boasting OF large vote, and
claim that they will elect several sena-
tors and delegates This claim is believed
not to be without force, unless the full
Democratic vote can be brought to the
polls.
The Republican party Is a very uncer-
tain element In this election. In some
sections Il Is believed the Republicans
will vote soldly for the Populist candi-
dates. In others they are lukewarm and
divided. In this city It is not believed
that many OF them will go to the polls.

HUTCHINSON HARD TO DOWN.

gracefully and expedltiously as possible.
when the Senate joint resolution was pre-

was received with cheers and applause,
and the members began TO breathe more

But they were reckoning without Mr..
