First District Politics.

The democrats of the Eastern
Shore are being aroused and will
give good account of themselves at
the polls in November.
The advices from Northampton
are to the effect that the democrats
of that county are enthusiastic for
Bryan, Sewall and Jones and that
with few exceptions, everyone who
has heretofore supported the demo
cratic ticket will stand by-it this fall
and that several persons who have
heretofore voted the republican
ticket believe in the principles enun-
ciated in the Chicago platform and
will support its nominees.
In Accomac the democrats are
rapidly falling into line. Clubs have
been organized in many sections and
nany others will be soon. At Oman
cock where the boiling democrats
started off with such flourish OF
txumpets, the democratic club con-
tains about 100 members and large
accessions to it, 200 or more, are eI-
pected before election day = and
the boilers there instead of max
ing Roadway have lost three of
their number and more are ex-
pected to follow their example.
At Hallwood and vicinity everybody
seems to be for Bryan, Sewall and
Jones. At meeting of their club
on last Saturday night, Mr.. Frank
P. Brent and Senator Geo. W. Le-
Cato addressed an audience of $50
people or more, and were enthusiast
tically applauded from the beginning
to the end of the forcible and elo-
ouent speeches made by them. Their
club now numbers 200 and is growing
daily. 1t proposes to remain the
banner democratic club of the coun-
ty, and will IS .her every democrat
in that section in their fold.
A special to the Dispatch Tuesday
from Heathsville, Northumberland
county, says:
w. B. Tyler, the republican nomi-
nee for Congress for this district, and
Colonel r. c. HUBBARD, after making
canvass through our county, left
this week for other fields. They
made speeches at three different
points in our county and left with
very little encouragement OF MIR.
Tylers election. 1t is known that
the young aspirant for Congressional
honors has been greatly disheartened
during the canvass in our county,
and sees but little hope of his
election.
In the speech made at Reedville
the republican speakers were Missed
and the crowd kept impatiently call
ing for Towles, young democratic
speaker. Although the audience was
supposed to have been composed OF
republicans, when Col. Hubbard, in
his speech asked which of the two
candidates they would have to rep
resent them in the next Congress,
there was an uproarious yell for
Jones. 1t is stated that Col. Hubbard
remarked after the speech that they
(the republican speakers must have
made mistake and gotten in the
wrong meeting.
There is scarcely any doubt but
that Jones will get large majority
in our county and Tyler's fears of de-
feat are well founded.
