ognize that there is n fight to mako. not
so much against the open enemv-the
Republicans and Populists-as against an
enemy in camp-indiference among
Democratic people. Above all things II

OF the duty that lies at their doors. This

The City Committee. on the motion Of

man OF the committee has been in cor
respondence with the Senator. Mr. joseph
Button, secretary of the State
Committee. received n telegram from
Major Daniel yesterday afternoon, saying
that he would come direct from
Powhatan Courthouse Friday. where he
speaks that day. At Powhatan Court

lowed on this car" and IT is ordered
from the Offices of the company that
when more than this number board one
OF the cars to hold over until enough
get off TO reduce the number to the
limit owing TO the severe weather yes
terday, numbers of men and women who
work in Richmond. and who usually |
walk across the bridge. preferred to ride |
instead. They crowded in a car at Four |
feenth and Main, until the conductor |
nfty-fOur. He told them that |
ne could not move unless nineteen OF |
them got of and waited for the next |
car behind. just ten minutes later. But |
they would not hear to 1t. Every one |
wanted 10 go at that time, and no other.
Not one would move nor did the car,
until three more, all on the line, were
blocked up at the point. Then some |
travel was resumed. one car, the first
boarded lost an entire trip.
