At precinct meetings held in Hen
rico county on Wednesday ten of the
delegates were for Montague, four for
Swanson and eight are contested.
The machinery was in the hands OF
the Swansonites and the proceedings
of some of the precincts were so lack
ing in decency that many who were
not for Montague retired in disgust.
The following statement of the voters
is submitted as to the ways of the
machine at one precinct:
The self-constituted chairman call
ed for nominations, and when an eff
fort was made to close the nomina
tiops without permitting any Mon
tague delegates to be put in nomina-
tions, great confusion arose, where.
upon Russell called upon his secre
tary, of his own appointing, to know
who was in nomination, and his Sec
rotary read off the Swanson dele
gates, and only one Montague dele
gate was on the list; whereupon such
great confusion arose that Russell re-
caDted and read the names of the
candidates On both tickets without
the aid of a secretary. After an
nouncing the candidates, Swanson
man called for vote, and Russell de-
cided that no one had right to
speak, and notwithstanding the
vigorous protest OF the Montague
men, who called for an honest vote
nv ballot a viva yOce vote was taken
by Russell, few men around him
voting for the Swanson delegates.
When the vote was called for the Mon
tague delegates, at least three times
As many people voted for the Manta-
que delegates as did for the Swanson
delegates.
Whereupon Russell stated that he
did not care for hollering and throat
splitting; that he was chairman of
that meeting, and he delared all of
the Swanson delegates elected, and
the meeting adjourned.

that when he became a candidate

self a candidate for reelection he
felt that he could not oppose a gems

for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Virginia, addressed a
large crowd at Bristol on 10th inst.
His speech was plea for support
upon the claim that he is the peo-
pies candidate. He said he had been
over enough of the State to know
that the sentiment of the masses
favored bis candidacy. Without men
tioning the name of Mr.. Swanson, he
spoke at length of the opposition and
charged that Senator Martin had
come to Richmond from Washington
for the purpose of using his influence
for a man who was the candidate of
one man and not the candidate of the
people. In this connection he likened
the course of Senator Martin to that
of Quay and Hanna, who he said,
usually have their apron-string can
didates.

Mrs. Mckinley is seriously ill in
San Francisco and it is stated though
not in immediate danger, that fears
are entertained, that she may not
recover. For years she has been in
delicate health and, 1t is believed, her
critical condition is due to the over
taxing of her strength by the long
trip to the Pacific Coast. The public
generally of course spmpathises with
the President and hopes that she
will soon be restored to health. 1t is
to be regretted too, that the Presi-
dent has been compelled to abandon
his proposed visit to other States,
which he seems to have looked for
ward to with 80 much pleasure.
