for Congress in the Tenth District, is alto

have chosen their delegates, and all have

are as follows: AppomatroX, 8; Bucking-

1t is probable that Judge Qnarles will get
the six votes from this county.
The friends of Senator Flood are juhi-
liant over his lead. and are claiming that
his chances of success are looking up.
A prominent Tenth District Democrat
said Yesterday that he thought II began
to look like Flood was winner. and that
if he could get the nomination TINS year
he would surely be returned to Congress.
The friends of the other candidates, how
ever, do not seem at all willing to concede
The honor to the Appomattox man, and
say that the developments of the next
few weeks will tell different tale They
saw there was never any doubt about his
