spoke of that city as having lost its old

come a southern Boston, and sllude to
The fact that many of its prominent
business men, who have before been
democrats, now don't hesitate to ex-
press their intention of voting the black
republican ticket next Tuesday.
If the republicans succeed next Tues
lay, their settled determination, as I'M
understood here, is to reduce the Con-
gressional and electoral representation
If the South, either by infringing the
Constitution and apportioning represen-
tatives according to the votes cast, and
uot to population, or by 30 changing
the apportionment as to increase rep
resentation in the North and to de-
crease it 10 the South.

lay everything appears in a roseate

made them desperate; and more signifi
cant still, is the fact that the republi-
cans are already commencing to say il

many of them, support the idea OF the
appointment of deputy U. S. marshals

admitted into the Senate.
Attorney General Montague, of Vir
Sinia, was here today on his return
from Winchester. where he spoke yes

While most OF the democrats here are
confident Of Bryan's election, most OF
be republicans are sure that McKin-
ley will be reelected. Among the
latter are many bankers and brokers,
who laugh at what they term the pre-
posterous idea of democratic success.
But the democrats say the bankers
only hear the talk of moneyed circles,
