The election on Tuesday ~ next is one I OF
far-reaching Importance to the people OIL
this Conference.-The, and as cllairman.o OF
the Dan1ocra tic party of this 81 ty l WISH
to impress upon you The Importance otssa
large Democratic ma ori Our enemy y
: the Republican party-has been conduet-
ing a quiet campaign In strongsDemocrsattlc
sections of the State. relying upon Demo-
cratic apathy tosilelp4 them. while In Rerr
publican strongholds they have been UNI
usually nc tive i'll the effort toE1ncrease
their Vote.
Richmond has ever been regarded as the
citadel of Democracy, and in years past
has by its splendid Democratic najoritles
been able to overcome that aid which the
solid negro vote has given the Republican
party and has magnificently contributed
to Democratic triumph in the OLD Do
minon.
That interest which has ever inspired
the Democratic party to contend for good
mana gcmcnt III the affairs of the State
should actuate the Democratic party now,
and Richmond should not be lassard in
the great duty now devolving upon her,
but Should rally with increasing zeal and
energy around the: standard of Democracy
which has been SO nobly carried by our
distinguished standard bearers-Mo que,
Willard and Anderson.
While it is important that a full vote
be given the State ticket.zit is also mpor-
tant that our nominees for. the Legislature
receive the full Democratic vote, and to
do this it is necessary that employers
give their employees opportunity to go to
the polls.
a ticket has been placed in the field
in opposition to the regular Democratic
nominees Tor the Legislature, and pur-
usuasive attempts pre being made to
weaken the Democratic column. 1t is
the duty of every good citizen to render
null every attempt to damage the well
fare and prosperity of our State by les
sening the hold Of the Democratic party,
which has SO long ministered TO Vir-
Sinia'S s. advancement.
Democrats of Richmond remember that
the Democracy of the State look to you
fully expecting from You {, large vote
for the success of our ticket, and thcre-
fore let not these expectations be
fraught with. disappointment.
Vote for Democracy-tlle synonym of
good government in Nirgnia--the repre-
sentative ofsthe peoples true interest, and
above and beyond all the true and loyal
exponent of Anglo-SaSon supremacy.
Respectfully yours,

stone unturned to get the vote out and
they have wIged short. sharp and very
effective canvass. The speaking end OF
it was opened about two weeks ago with
speeches by President Goode, Mr. ELY
son and Mr.. Montague at the Academy
held at frequent intervals since.3 Mr..
Doherty has had the very earnest and
active support of Captain Cunningham

ability and deXterity.
1t is estimated that the city will give
in the neighborhood CT 5000 Democratic
majority. and that her legislative nomi-

a cyclone. The local party mana gers

splendid fight. which it is believed will
show fine results Tuesday night.
One of the best-posted sporting men in
the city said yesterday that there was less
betting on the result of next Tuesdays
election than on any election held in the
State for many years.
There have been q few wagers made
upon 2o,0cV majority for Montague he
said. 1T is dlIticult. however. 10 fnu
Eel sons who will bet that Montague S
majority VIII not reach this figure.
