RICHMOND Will 10 DthioeiHelS Oh A"NS-
day despite tho combined efforts Of Re-
publieans and Boilers, corporate influence,
and other forms OF Interference that may
be resorted to by the enemies OF the
party A conservative estimate is be-
lieved to be that the city will give Bryan.
sewan. and Lamb at least 1000 moro
votes than It will give Mckinley, Palmer,
Lewis e. Co., which will insure the cleo
tion OF Captain John Lamb. OF Henrico,
20 Congress by a good round majority,
and will serve 20 swell the great popular
vote that the Nebraskan and his run
ming mate will receive throughout the
country.
Richmond has always done its duty in
times like these, and the Democratic
leaders have no fear that she will be
found in the wrong column in this con-
test. The party workers have been lay
ing their plans Tor the fight Of Tuesday.
That the struggle will be an exciting one
there seems TO be no doubt. The Bolto-
Gratis and the Republicans will be at the
polls early with their shrewd attorneys
Mark Hanna's money, their corporate in
fluence, and various other meats of
Democrats but the Democratic party will
also be represented at the precincts by
men who have been I'm political battles
before These men will be- at the polls
at sunrise and they will remain there
until the struggle ends at SHUTDOWN
Great interest centres In the result OF
the election In Jackson Ward, where
most OF the colored people Of the city
live.
TO CHALLENGE WHITE VOTERS.
There will, of course. be challenging
done there, as has been the case for
years; but that is but natural. A great
many negroes residing in that ward have
been disfranchised, and have not the
right TO vote, and the Democrats do not
propose 10 allow such persons TO vote.
On the other hand. it is rumored that
the Boilers and Republicans will have
challengers in the large white precincts
OF the city TO challenge the right of
reputable white citizens TO vote, in order
10 delay the balloting In these precincts
The report that these tactics would be
resortod 10 met with Indignation yester-
day. and the party leaders will see to 1t
that no unlawful delay is caused by
such action.
II Is all the more necessary though,
the party managers think, that the bust
polls. shall vote in the middle Of the
day. The Importance of this has been
urged by Democratic-City Chairman
Dawson. who says: 1T Is earnestly re-
ouested that the businessmen who can
mako IL convenient TO do so, VIII vote IN
the middle OF the day Tuesday, thus
giving the early and the late hours to
the laboring men. The vote viii be heavy,
ana the time limited and every minute
will be consumed" continues Chairman
Dawson. land the laboring men are urged
10 vote early in the morning. as FAR as
possible" There are a few precincts
where in order 10 vote the full number OF
registered electors would mean 70 vote
man every half a minute from sunup TO
shutdown. Hence. II can be seen there
Is no time to be lost. .-~--
ARRANGEMENTS for getting In the returns
have not as yet been perfected, hut they
will be received at Powhatan Club by
the City Democratic Committee. Tho
counting. however, VIII be a slow and
tedious and almost endless labor
