The contest for Congress In the IhiIo
District is getting to be a very lively
one. and promises to become a great
deal more so before the vote is taken on
September 18th between the two popular
aspirants, Captain John Lamb and Mr..
Jefferson wallace.
There was time in the early stages
of the canvass when they referred pleas
antly to one another on the stump, but
that time has passed. and instead of
kindly. allusiens. epithets fly thick and
fast when they meet.
'Whipper-snappers' and political ac-
cidents" are some OF the choice terms
which they employ in referring to one
another. and the bitterness seems to in
crease with each recurring engagement.
They will meet in King William to-day,
where both are strong. and the voters
expect to see wool fiy'' Mr.. Wallace
will to-day make reply to the card Of
Mr.. S. P Waddill, of Henr!co, in which
the latter takes him to task fer some
alleged statement OF MIR. Wallace con-
corning Mr. Waddill.
TO SPEAK HERE.
When the candidates retufn from King
William they will likely arrange 4 pro-
gramrne for further debates in t!.is city.
and the voters are anxieus'y awaiting
the next engagement. It is said that all

CAPTAIN Lamb is fiery in debate. while
his competitor. Mr. Wallace, Is calm and
deliberate. The warm tfrusts they are
making at one another is giving much
life to the struggle, and it is now thought
that pretty fair vote will be polled.
What will be the result no man seems
able to correctly forecast, for the candi-
dates are making Very similar If not
almost Identical claims as to their re-
spectve strength. They are both on a
warm trail for votes, and will not let up
until the hattie Is over.
