The sound money Democrats have not as
yet perfected a permanent organization,
though they are doing some quiet work.
The contest will doubtless be one of
the lIveliest ever witnessed In AleXan-
dria. and will be particularly bitter be-
tween the regular Democrats and the gold
men Ii Is generally Thought that the
differences existing between the white and
colured factions OF the Repu hlican party in
this city Will cause a division OF the col
ored vote, but the regular organization is
confident that at the proper time the col
ored voters will fall into line, and cast
their votes sulidly for Mckinley, Hobart
and McCaun.
