himself, usual, equal to all the demands

of the canvass.
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
AS seen thus far in advance it looks like
the Democrats VII make a clean sweep of
the State, etectiag ten Congressman and
giving Bryan and Stevenson anywhere
from 2a,oa0 TO 10000 majority. There has
been much apathy in the canvass on both
sides, nut under the splendid oratortcal
efforts OF the speakers, it is gradually dis
appearing from the Democratic camp and
Eyill probably vanish by election day.
There mas never been any reasonable
doubt about the reelection Of Congress
men Jones, Lamb. Swanson, Otey, Hay
and RiXey, and ii seems now equally Ger
tain that Senator II. D. Flood will have
good safe majority over Colonel r. T.
Hubbard n the Tenth The outlook is very
bright for the reelection OF Major Lassi-
ter in the Fourth, and Senator MAYNARD
appears to be a winner in the Second.
Decidedly the hardest battle is out in the
Ninth District between Congressman
Rhea and mis- old antagonist, General
James A. Walker. The chances are very
much in favor Of Rhea, and MS managers
claim a majority equally as large as that
OF 1888, when he was elected bv $50.
OTEY IN THE BOAT
1t is impossible fer Major Peter J.
Otey. Of the Sixth District TO be defeated,
for the simple reason that he has one
opposing him. Hon. ]. B. (BraclO StovaIl,
OF Halifax. fell without the breastworks
last Wednesday, by failing to notify the
Secretary of the Commonwealth Of his
intention of beng n candidate. so Otey
will. indeed, have a walkever.
Mr.. Stovall made a. vigorous stump can
rass Of the District and it is a wonder of
his friends that IL never occurred to him
that the election law requires a notice, at
q given time. TO the Secretary of the Com
,nonwealth, in order that his name might
have been printed upon the official ballot.
1t may be. however, thai he purposely
omitted to send in his mama this being one
