The City Democratic Committee met
last night and perfected all the details
for the election. and upon adjournment
held conference with the Elicit Cam
paign Club. The object OF this conference
was TO arrive at full understanding as
TO the work at the polls to-day.
The Hcnrico county committee and
other representative citizens Of the coun-
~ met at the office of Colonel Elicit yes
terday morning The meeting was pre-
sided over by Captain w. j. Binford and
arrangements made for getting out the
vote to-day. Reports from all parts of
the county We're most encouraging. and
more than the usual enthusiasm was
displayed. Yesterday afternoon the cleo
ton judges. clerks, and constables had
conference at the county courthouse, and
arranged the details OF their work.
There are two impressions of which the
minds OF the electors should be disabused.
One is that the Walton law makes voting
a complicated process. The other is that
there is, under it. no opportunity for
efficient work on election-day. These are
grave errors. The process of voting Is very
simply, as experience in other States has
shown and splendid work can be done
by getting the Democratic voters 10 the
polls a fun turn out Of the vote VIII
as under any other system.
Enthusiastic Meeting In Henrico.
The final bugle call was sounded TO the
Democrats Of Henrico at Holleran's Hall,
on Seventeenth street, last night. About
seyenty-fve voters were present and 1t
Il thought the meeting did good. Captain
w. j. Binford presided. and made a neat
little speech Of about ten minutes, calling
upon the people 10 rally to the standard
Of Democracy to-day. He then presented
Mr.. e. a. BOyce. who spoke for over an
hour. After an exhaustive review of ma
tiOnal issues. Mr.. BOyce brought the ques-
tion more closely home to the people by
showing that under Democratic rule the
county government was I'm good condition:
that many marked improvements had been
made without one dime of additional tax
upon the people. He showed that a vote
for Gregory or any other false god meant
n vote for Southwark, and that if HenricO
should give the latter n majority IL would
be no easy task to redeem her from Re
publican rule in the future.
Mr.. Boyce interspersed his remarks with
several amusing anecdotes. which kept
the audience i'm good humor. and more
than once they cried Go on" lie said
that Colonel Elicit was well worthy of
the support and confidence of the people,
and made a stirring appeal to all present
not to desert the old flag, but to stand
10 their guns on the 9Th. This was the
only meeting held here during the can
vass but the people seem aroused and
ready for action.
Alderman John Mitchell. Jr.. Of Jackson
Ward. spoke to about twenty negroes AT
Seventeenth and Venable last night. un-
dertaking to instruct them how to vote
under the new ballot law.
