LITTLE INTEREST IN ELECTION.
Three candidates for Congress are to-
be voted for In the Fourth District to-
C-a& Thn,. aye ty,ail Ia,
.ocrat. of Amelia county; r. T Vaughan
i1denendert of#.Are'ia county ane' rrho-o
as II. Jones. independent, Of Brunswick
county. The Electoral Board of Peters
burg Saturday stamped five thousand
tickets to be used i'll the election to-
morrow.
There is no acti.ity among either the
Democrat or the Republican voters IL
the district. the only interest created
having been in tie Democratic primary
in which the two candidates worked
hard For the nomination. Mr.. r. G.
Soutllall, of Amelia. will represent the
district in the next House. The opposi
ton OF Vaughan and Jones will not fig
ura n all i'll the election returns. The
negroes are disguised with the way they
have been treated by the white Repub-
lican leaders.
4 There is perfect harmony In the Dan-
ocratic ranks. An exceedingly small
vote will be polled but this fact can
hardly be attributed to Indifference. for
the Democrats realize that the election
of heir candidate will be. practicable
unanimous. and. having turned out in
large numbers at the primary. many
OF them win not SO to vote in the regu-
lar election. Mr.. Sonthall feels perfect
" confident. O. course. but is not idle
-or has he been since his nomination.
He has visited the stronaholds III .otgh-
ont the district. ana has taken care
TO guard his interest wherever lie be-
leved it might be necessary in the event
of Rennhlican nomination. Mr. South
all and Colonel James Mann. OF MOTTO
way. spoke at l-n,no~:a to-day.
