4 BATTLE ROYAL
From present indications IL will b.
4 battle royal. and AZ this writing II is
almost impossible 10 say what the result
will be. Colonel Morrison IS very infu-
entail in the State. and the position taken
BY him Is for the money OF the Con-
stitution," as Mr. Tilden so often re-
marked. BY that IS meant gold and sill
yer. and Colonel Morrison wants the true
bimetsllic system, IL such a thing is TO
be had in this age OF uncertainty.
Colonel Morrison has friends all through
he South. and II Is known that his aitilia-
Hons with prominent Virginians and
North Carolinians will surely gain for
him considerable strength should events
prove that he is the choice OF Illinois for
the presidency next year.
Mr.. Howell z. Miller. of Rappahannock
county. was in the city to-day, and in
answer to an inquiry. said that the silver
issue was attracting considerable atten-
ton in that part of Virginia, but the peo-
pie OF his county. he added, were con-
sentative. and. so far as he had heard
expressions. they were not In favor OF
any radical legislation. AS rule they
were admirers OF President Cleveland
and were generally disposed TO give the
President credit for the position taken
by him. Still. Mr.. Miller admitted. the
sentiment in favor OF free coinage was
gaining ground a little in his portion
OF the State. but not as much as in some
other portions. Rappahannock is a pros
porous county. he further said and es
the people are comparatively free from
deh' they would not be so likely to want
such an expansion of the currency as
IL demanded by those OF other counties
where the Indebtedness is heavier.
ROCKY MOUNT POSTMASTERSHIP
This contest over the postmastership at
Rocky Mount, n. c.. has been rather
lively one. The town being divided by
the railroad. and a portion being In one
county and q portion In another. makes
n struggle between the aspirants living In
separat, congressional districts Con-
gresham Woodland recommended the APP
pointment of Mr.. Bassett. and ex-Con-
gressman Bum, who came 10 the city
yesterday morning. has insisted that Mr..
wilcox, the deputy under the postmaster
recently departed this life, ought to re-
ceive the appointment The merits OF the
case have been fully explained at the de-
partment, and 1t is thought final action
will be taken on Monday or Tuesday Of
next week.
Messrs. Woodland and Bum called at the
department to-day and each of the gentle
men had a conversation with the Post
master-General
