M'KENNEY'S GRAND CANVASS.
visiting Every Precinct In tho Fourth Dis
trIct-RepubIicnns VIII Vote for Him.

fTIct-KfDuD1lCnnt WIN ioi
PETERSBURG, VA, October 20.-(Spe-
cial)-Hon. w. Il. McKenney, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress In this dis
trict IS making magnificent canvass
He has been visiting every precinct in
every county Of the district. and has
spoken to the people and urged organize
ton. The good people of the as
trlct believe that he will be elected by
n handsome majority. Mr.. Mckinney is
a man Of such high character. man or
such great popularity that 1t Is hardly be-
lieved he can be defeated, If the people
are allowed TO vote for their honest
preference il Is known that many OF the
honest Republicans in this city, as well
az in the adjacent counties, Will probably
vote for Mr.. Mckinney as their choice
for congressman. and it is known, also,
that though the Republican leaders here
and elsewhere through the district es-
tabished SCHOOLS of instruction TO en-
able the illiterate negroes to spell the
name Of the Republican candidate for
Congress. in order to vote intelligently
for the Republican candidate, the great
mass Of the illiterate colored men Will
not offer to vote.
CAN BE NO DOUBT.
II looks as though. from present in
dications, there can be no doubt Of Mr..
McKenney's election. IL merit were con-
sidered. Mr.. McKenney would beat Hob
son, the Populist. and Thorp, the Republi-
can, and Homer. the Prohibitionist, out
of their boots, singly and collectively.
1t IS sad 10 say that the people do not
consider merit. but are led off by side
issues, by sentlmentalism, by ignorance.
by demagogism, by any theory that pro-
tot IONS. IA hot TOR
their condition.
1t Is safe TO say that in Petersburg
Mr. Hobson will get very few votes; that
the Republicans Will poll fewer ballots
than ever before, and that the Prohbi-
ZIONIST candidate will be left out OF sight.

Sheriff will be met with an order from

Searcey over 10 tho Fredericksburg jailer,
ms ii would not be safe TO cOnfine him in
the Jail at Stafford Courthouse without
employing number Of extra men TO

place In Stafford county.
Searcey stands charged with two crimes.
The graver OF these Is covered by section
BOA of the Code Of 1887. which reads:
IF any person commit robbery by par
tial strangulatiOn or suffocatiOn, or by
striking or beating. or by other violence
10 the person, or by threat or presenting
OF firearms. he shall be punished with
death or. in the discretion of the jury, by
confinement in the penitentiary not less

years"
No steps have yet been taken by the
Virginia authorities to get possession Of
Morganneld. who IS In custody in Gin
