the announcement with youthful dig
nifty that was most attractive.
Mrs Pease sat bolt upright. She re-
nounced her pleurisy and drew the first
comfortable breath she had inhaled since
her arrival at the Frost cottage. Her
face was even more jubilant than those
turned toward her.
"Thank the Lord for all his massies!"
she calculated devoutly. Then, as a
painful thought assailed her, she reached
out suddenly, seized the reins from
Steve's hands, and with one movement
of her strong wrists pulled the restive
horse to an abrupt stop.
"You amt goin step further, " she
declared vehemently, It'll you solemnly
swear, both Of you, never to let out to

The odd demand had little signif-

that for some reason compliance with it
was Of moment to Mrs. Pease, and gave
the promise with sincerity that guar
anteed absolute and enduring silence.

THE UGLY PRECINCT.

The urinary election in the Democratic
marty IS the most cherished institution
that Richmond Democrats have. When
conducted fairly It is an infaliioie methoa
for ascertainiDg the will of a majority
Of the white people or the city, and
all citizens of Richmond are united IN
their willingness and desire 10 abide by
the will OF the majority of Richmond
white citizens. whatever that VIII may be-
They feel sure when an important ques-
ton is up for solution, and there has
been time md opportunity for debating
Il thoroughly before the white people OF
the city, the decision Of the majority
upon It viii be sound and lus'. Inc
people are. therefore, devoted TO the pil-
mary election as the method for ascer-
tanning the will Of Richmond Democrats.
ana rhey are determined that their pri-
maries shall be fairly conducted and
above all possibility Of suspicion.
This being SO. ii was with surprise and
disgust that they learned on Saturday
morning that the First precinct Of Clay
ward was again delinquent in making
is returns Of the recent election, and
that disgust was turned into Indignation
and rage when 1t was ascertaned fur-
Their that this delay had continued all
through the day after the election, and
that at Saturday morning. the count was
stil incomplete.
We make no charges or insinuauons OF
fraud at this precinct, because we have
no evidence -t all upon which we could
base such. But the people are naturally
SUSPICIOUS Of such action as this, and
they want NE whole matter thoroughly
investigated that tho fraud may be ex-
posed and published to the world. If any
has really been committed. l. is ineom-
prehensible TO the public mind how such
an outcome Of the election could have
occurred if everything at the precinct was
fair. We insiss, therefore, that there shall
be a rigid investigation, and that II there
has been fraud It shalt be made Known.
AMI the Good Government League and
tho good people of Richmond, as welt,
arc TO be congratulated upon the result
Of the election whatever may have been
done al the First precinct OF Clay ward.
The triumphant election of the GOOD Gov
ernmenp ticket. Notwithstanding the few
losses Il incurred, is a ervat encourage
ment to the League to persevere In its eff
forts to secure tho city good ant ecOno-
results in the future We confidently
hope.
