League Issues an
Address to the VOters-LiveIy Meet
ing OF the CIay-ward Actives-The
Transfer Matter.

Next Tuesday will present the closing
scenes Of one Of the hottest municipal
campaigns that have been waged in Rich
mond for many years. The end will bring
infinite relief to every one connected, for
| the strain has been intense, and even
those who are indirectly connected with
| the canvass, as well as the candidates,
who have borne its burden and its heat,
| will breathe a sigh of relief when the
| sun sinks into its western course on Tues
| day evening.
Given fair weather. the vote polled Will,
| according to present Indications, be a
record breaker. 1t could not well be other
| wise with nearly two hundred can
| didates in the field, to say nothing Of
| the open race for the various offices, and
| the rivalry between the Good Government
League and the clubs.
There are rumors afloat that a dupli-
cate ticket has been issued and Is being
circulated. Several gentlemen who were
seen yesterday, say that they have seen
men who have seen this ticket but it
has been impossible to trace the matter
TO its source. IL such a thing exists in
fact, it Is more than probable that it
will be brought to light sooner or later,
for the lynX-eyed leaders are on the qui
vive for any Irregularities.
