POLITICAL AND PERSONAL NOTES.
The campaign has practically closed,
and everything is in readiness Tor 1ues-
days election. Petersburg VIII roll up
its usual Democratic majority. Some IN
easness IS felt as TO the result IN some
of the counties OF the Fourth District
mainly because OF the uncertainty as TO
the Republican vote. The attendance last
night at the meeting OF the PopuiS's III
this city OF a number OF the leanhS ne
publIcans seems to be taken as en- EVIL
dence that the mass OF that parry VIII
be expected at least to vote for the fopu-
lists ticket. 1t is not known, but IL Is
SUSPECTED by many, that some secret
work has been done by the leaders of the
party 10 influence the negroes TO vote
against the Democratic ticket According
10 a published interview some DAYS ago
General Malone, the State chairman, salu
that the Republicans would support the
Populist ticket. What the GENERA
thinks. the Republicans also tninh, anu
generally act accordingly
HIS SUPPOSED VISIT.
Nothing is known here as TO the sup
posed visit of Mr. ". Scott Bailey tne
Church-Hill merchant, 10 this city. IL
he came here he did not make his pres
ence known or tarried but little Whlle.
There Is one enthusiastic ProhiDiuon
man In this city who believes that the
success of that cause Ia the salvation OF
the neople. He is enthusiastic enough to
beIieve that the State temperance ticket
viii receive n large vote here, especialy
among the negroes, but II is thought that
the voters for the ticket can be counted
upon ones fingers.
