county would probably give a reGuced
Republican majority this year. There is
hardly a reasonable doubt that Captain

he had in 1886, when ne defeated Judge
l.. l.. Lewis by 4,2G0 votes.

and return here on Tuesday. Before leav-
ING Co!onel Button gave out number OF
additional appointments for pubic speak
ins, and stated tha: everything was NOV
ing along satisfactorily to the Democrats
throughout the State.
Chairrnau filiyson has received letter
from Senator Daniel III which he says he
will be unable TO accept invitations TO
make speeches in Indiana, where he Is
wanted during October, and that he will
devote his whole time to the canvass N
Virginia After filling the appointments

Judge Thea for Congress.

is ready to take the stump if necessary,

GEN EEtAI. ALLANfS HOME.
The point raised that Gen. Edgar Allan,
the Republican nominee for Congress in
Inc Third district, is resident OF Norfolk
and not Of Richmond, is not well founded,
said one of the leading Democratic law
yers OF this city.
1T is all well enough for political pur-
poses to clam that Gen. Allan be.ongs
TO Norfolk said the attorney. 'sbut the
Democrats had as well make up their
minds that If they permit the Republican
nominee to be elected he viii not be ruled
out on the ground of being a nonresident.
Residence, as far as voting and holding
OF intention. Gen. Allan could say he
never Intended to become a citizen of
Norfolk. Then it would be necessary in
order 70 prove him nonresident OF
Richmond to show that he moved his
family to Norfolk. and by word and act
indicated his purpose to become citizen
of that city. This could not be proven.
I,fle only way to keep Gen. Allan cat OF
Congress is for the Democrats to pile ur
sosSs' Gnu pSit ithi,zsiS tAeS VIII 10 " 9
handsome majority. I am quite sure.
Gen Allan is cut of the city. He is still
q registered voter in Richmond.
The City Republican COMMITTEES Is ar
ranging to have public speaking in Rich
nnnd. Several local orators VII DE heard,
end Their WA be some spea tse-s, very
probably, from outside of tbs district.
