Justice Receives an Ugly Wound.

NORFOLK. VA, Feb. 26.-Speciai.-A
large number OF Democrats. by invita-
ton of the Electoral Board OF TINS
city. met in the police courtroom this
afternoon at 8 o'clock 10 discuss the
political situation here. relative TO the
anpointment of Judges of election and
registrars. Mr.. Frank East. chairman OF
the board, presided. After some unim-
potant discussion. they adjourned TO
meet tomorrow afternoon in the Corpora
ton courtroom.
There is much telling here, growing out
of the East and Smith alteration at the
meeting OF the board this morning A
resolution had been adopted inviting all
citizens TO come before the board. After
agreeing TO publish 1t Saturday night, Mr..
East withdrew the paper. This action
offended Mr.. Smith, and when the gen.
tlemen met this morning there were
hot words, East charging Smith with at
tempting to break up the Democratic
party. Smith called him a liar and threw
"A paper weight at him. East, who was
sitting down, jumped up and ran at
Smith, who struck him ON the head with
a heavy rule. The men then clinched and

choked. East received an ugly wound
on the head. The men were then %separat-
ed. No attempt has been nae to patch
up the affair.
Since the announcement that the old
electoral board would hold over the poll
ticians have been theoretically at work
aging their plans to secure the appoint
ment of Judges that would carry out their
views. and at the same time in a measure
to satisfy the demands of public opinion.
The discussion of this question by the
electoral board has not been altogether
pleasant. Saturday night Messrs. III. J..
Smith. J. Frank East. and y. Il. Joyne.
who compose the board, agreed that the
chairman. Mr.. Smith, should prepare an
address to the public. inviting the leading
Democrats of the city TO appear before
the body and express their views. Mr..
Smith held that the invitation should
also include the Prohibitionists. The other
members Of the board opposed this, upon
the ground that they were Democrats and
that the Democratic party should be heard
iirs..
