FOURTH DISTRICT.
M'KeNNEY'S NOMINATION ACKNOW-
LEDCED TO 6E STRONGEST.
Certain to Be Elccted-Goo,,e's Deciiua.
tion Is signiiicant-rhc Campaign
to Open ut Once.

PETERSBURG, VA. September %
Especial 1T is universally Acknowledged
that the nomination OF Hon. w. X. Nc
Kenney for Congress by the Democratic
convention held In this city last night
Is the strongest by all odds that could
have been made. The nominee is in the
very prime OF life and enjoys a very large
practice in his chosen profession Of the
law in all this section. He makes
sacrifice In accepting the nomination. but,
on the call Of his party, he Is willing
for the success OF the party 10 make
any personal sacrifice. Mr. McKenney Is
one OF the most popular citizens OF the
district: one OF the kindcst hearted and
most generous OF men. and one of the
best Of friends. That he will be elected TO
Congress, there is no doubt. He is one
most energetic. as well -as most courte-
Gus OF men: he is a man of the people.
who has worked his way up by indomit-
able energy.
NEXT REPRESENTATIVE.
Mr.. McKcnney will be the next repre-
sentative from the Fourth aDistrict In
Congress. His merits and his worth ana
popularity will secure this No one who
knows Willie" McKenney rwil vote
against him. He will organize and speak
IN every precinct In the district; he will
follow the advice OF Mayor Ellyson. the
State chairman. and will divide and sub
divide the work of the district; he is
50 popular in Petersburg that he will get
an almost unprecedented majority in
Pctersburg-the place Of his nativity,
where he is equally popular with the
colored as with the white people.
THE DECLINATION of GOODE.
The declination Of J. Thomas Goode.
the Populist nominee for Congress, who
IS contesting the election Of Congressman
Epes. TO stand for the candidate Of his
party, is significant. lie feels hopeless Of
the success Of the Third party. and would.
if possible. throw the votes of ;iis friends
for the Republican candidate. In this he
viii not succeed In his speech before the
Democratic convention last night, Mayor
Euyson, Of Richmond. said .h:t Many
who were against us last ve2~ are with
Us now" and this fact IS believed to be
the reason OF Mr. Goodies declination.
IT IS certain that a great many of the
honest farmers Of the SOuths!de counties
Will never consent TO be transferred into
the Republican camp, and that they Will
vote the Democratic ticket II they have
no candidate OF their own to support.
HIS CAMPAIGN.
Mr.. McKenney will enter upon his cam
pnign at once. He will organize in every
precinct. He will canvass everywhere; he
will speak on every possible occasion; he
will cndeavor TO impress the truth OF
Democratic principles in the ears of every
man in the district; he win never shi!k
duty or responsibility. and he will never
allow an opponent to make a false state
