5 sorry for me. If there are any
( facts concerning my conduct as a
) member of the Common Council
( which he desires to make public, {
ae, of course, is at liberty to do
So
The above is the brief, but direct, COM
lnent made by Mr.. James Caskie, when
seen last night concerning Captain Nc
Cartny's now famous dodger, in which he
expressed profound sorrow for the
popular Councilman, along with Mr.. T.
l. Bemiss, president of the Richmond
Traction Company.
Mr.. Bemiss declined to say anything
whatever on the subject. Captain Nc
Carthy may now be expected to tell what
he meant by his allGslon to Mr.. Caskie.
since he has the latters unqualified con-.
sent to do So. That he will make this
the subject of some of his remarks in
his speech at Corcoran Hall tomorrow
night, there is hardly a reasonable doubt,
for he said in his dodger that # Mr. Cas-
Isic would tell why he Captain Mccarthy
was sorry il would relieve him Of the
painful necessity. he, perhaps, considers
that necessity now upon him, Mr. Caskie
says he does not know.
IS GROWING HOT.
The campaign is growing hot, and there
arc evidences all along the lines of in
.crcasing heat. Corcoran Hail viii hard
~ hold all those who will apply for ad-
mission tomorrow night. Captain Nc
Cart,y ha not spoken for nearly a week
and declares that his story will be a new
one. Never was there more dynamite in
a municipal campaign in Richmond, and
explosions are looked for almost daily. .
Eut the sulphuric storm will not rage
until the Live Wire and Honest Dick
meet face to face on the same platform.
Tho opportunity VIII present itself Sat
urday night at a meeting Of the Clay
Ward Actives, but Mayor Taylor is not
expected to be present, although 1t is
his home club, and special invitation
will be sent him to attend. Meanwhile
n meeting for the Old Market Hall is be-
ing worked up. Whether it will be held
this or next week is still a question, but
according to leaders down there, it will
be held shortly.
rrns CITY Committee will meet on Fri
day night, February 14tll to arrange a
date for the primary. After this is done
the campaign will open up IN dead car
nest all along. the lines.
THE WHOLE SHOW.
Mayor Taylor is expected 10 take .iAe
stump shortly after the date is set Ii1e
u,ayoralty campaign, one-sioed as the
sneaking end of it is. is now the whole
show" and when Honest Dick comes
to the bat it will be all the more so.
Little attention is being paid appar-
entity to the campaign for the other ileio
officers. Hon. John z. Epps has been
sc
resumed, his fight against Mr.. John l.
rTl,ehes for sheriff yesterday They are
hotf active, but little is heard of the bat
flo evervthirg. else being overshadoWed
nv the contest for Mayor. Sergeant
smith and Mr. Claiborne Epps are agal'
struggling with each other for Clt;, Scr,
e.o,,+ b,t there is nothing SenSauona
about their race.
