.lecial to virginian-Pilot.)

paign closed here tonight with no in
dications of any great enthusiasm, but
with the chances that an average vote
will be cast tomorrow. The city of
Richmond four years ago gave Mr..
Bryan 1855 votes. a plurality of little
over 1000. 1t is not probable, as far as
can be judged at this time, that his
vote will be any larger. 1t is more
probable that it will be somewhat
smaller.
1t is a noticeable fact, though, that
those who decline to vote for Mr.
Bryan Will almost unanimously sup
port Captain John Lamb for Congress.
Captain Lamb said this morning that
he was confident of receiving at least
1000 majority in the district, and that
it would probably be greater.
General Edgar Allan, Captain Lambs
opponent, declines TO make any predic-
lions as to the result He said this
morning that If there had been any re-
formation among the judges of election
he might be able to hazard a guess as
to the winner.

Sarah Ramos, Il teacher in the High
