Gratis are talking OF Fltz Lee, but 1t Is
generally believed here that he will not
consent to run under any circumS tances
PoPULISTS AND DEMOCRATS.
What of the Populists! is a question
often asked now. There is no doubt
that the Democrats will be willing to
make favorable terms with them for
their support next year, and the Popu-
lists as Il rule are more friendly toward
Hhe silver Democrats than they are to-
ward the gold Democrats. But, then
the Populists have been crying out
against our election laws. and this week
the Virginia Sun. which supported Bry-
an, has something to say in condemna-
ton of those laws, but denounccs more
bitterly the alleged practices of the Re
publicans and gold Democrats.
FULL OF INTEREST.
The situation is. to say the least de-
cidedly interesting. Neither side will
lose any time in getting down TO work
and shaping the issues for the struggle
Each side will play for the Populis;
vote. and Mr.. Hobson and his following
VIII receive plenty OF attention. j.
Hogc Tyler and Congressman w. A.
Jones arc the persons oftenest spoken OF
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
crnor.
TO DISH OUT OFFICES.
1t is stated here upon very good au-
thority that Judge Waddill will have u
hand in dispensing all the Federal pa
tronage in Virginia Candidates are nu-
merous and the Judges life Is being
made miserable. TX-Sheriff ]. w. South
ard wants to be United States marshal
and SO do many others. Morgan Treat
is thought to have an eye on the collec-
torship of internal revenue. There has
never been any agreement that the gold
Democrats should share in the spolls.
@Al,
Republican leaders are said to be little
jealous OF the gold Democrats.
WILL BE NO CONTEST.
1t was said to-day that the Republi-
cans had decided not to contest this dis
trict, and Judge Waddill intimated that
| IL might be true. Lambs majority Is
SO large the Republicans cannot figure
out how they would overcome 1t. AT
bes, they could only hope for a new
election. they say. Contests will GER
;ainly be made in the Second, Fourth
and Fifth districts.
F'EEL1NG RUNS HIGH.
y young man named Allen was fined
81 I'm the Police Court this morning for
about 200 youngsters who marched to
The Times Office last night to yell and
make night hidcous in their efforts to
show their dL;approval OF the political
course Of that paper. Allen refused to
move on when the police ordered him
to so. and he was taken TO the Second
police station. Political feeling runs
high here. as evidenced by this occur
renee. Nightly the colored people out
In Jackson Ward march and celebrate
McKnley;s victory. while the young sill
veritcs in other portions Of the city make
their presence felt in celebrating their
victory in Richmond and Virginia. The
wonder is that there has not been blood
shed.
