THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. II, 100.

TUE anRERNAToRIAL and legislative
election Is less than three weeks Oh ana
the canvass, certainly 30 far ss this Sec
tion of the State is concerned, has been
one of the quietest ever conducted,
while interest seems to be generally
lsckiug. Indeed there has been 3
growing lack OF interest IN politics In
the State for some years and the action
OF The Constitutional Convention now In
session in Richmond has certainly done
little to counterfeit this feeling OF apathy
other than to arouse the indignation Of
the people against most OF the mem
beers of that body. But 1t is time now
for the democrats to be getting together
and making arrangements for an active
canvass from now till election day.
The republicans, though they have 1T
tie hopes of success, are doing ali 10
their power to bring out their full
party strength and to gain votes from
the dissatisfied democrats. They say
they expect to be we'll represented In
the next General Assembly and are
working for their candidate for gov
ernor, though he has no chance to win.
II the republicans are working so hard
for forlorn hope certainly the demo-
Gratis should be up and doing when
they know that with the slightest ex'
ertion their efforts will be crowned
with success.

CONCESSION FOR CLARK.
Montana Senator VIII Have vaIu-
able New York Privilege.

New York. April 24.-The Herald is
authority for the statement that it is as
serted that Senator William A. Clark's
millions are waiting to back the enOr-
mously valuable concession which has
been made by the legislature in the
Raines bill giving the New York and
New Jersey Bridge company the right to
build viaducr along West street from
Forty ninth street to the Battery.
Reports that Senator Clark is the
chief figure in the syndicate which is
said to be behind the bridge bill are said
to be borne out by the fact that menu
bers of his family is prominently con-
nected with the project. DR.. Everett
Mallory Culver, who married the daugh-
ter of the Montana millionaire. is pres
ident of the New Jersey Bridge cOrpor-
alton, which is associated with q similar
corporation headed by James S. Clark
son in this state, in the great enterprise.
Should all this be verified and should
Senator Clark come into possession OF
the privileges given by the legislature.
he would be able to dictate terms, it is
said, to 16 great railways. which would
have to use his railway in order to OBJ
tain access to the docks
