Politics In the district composer vi Mah-
chester, Chesterfield and Powhatan are
assuming quite lively shape. The Pop
ulists have just put up their ticket. which
makes the third one in the field Con-
siderable surprise has been manifested at
the ticket Of the new party, which is really
very weak one.
IL was the general opinion that j. IL.
Watkins and G. G. Harrison would be
the standard-bearers OF the Theorists'
but at the meeting held at Hallsooro Tues-
day Judge J. NJ. Gregory and Mr.. mar
rlson were nominated for the House or
Delegates.
Mr. Harrison was formerly superin-
tendent OF public schools for Powhatan,
but took such an active part IN Inlrd-
marty polttlcs last year that the Denio-
Gratis dropped him a few months ago:
Judge Gregory resides at Noouiahh
Heights. and was judge OF the chester
field County Court before the Democrats
came into power and elected Judge Cop
ton. He was also candidate dsdihS'
| Judge Clopton two years ago.
II il claimed by the Populists that MT.
Watkins declined the honor because ne
could not leave his business during tne
session Of the Legislature. but u II
| thought by Others that Mr.. watkins knew
| too we'll the strength OF the Democrats
| in that district to waste any time III
vain effort for election.
