and that the faithful incumbent is re-
turned to Congress by a large majority.
The Republicans do not expect to carry
the district. If they did the result would
be exactly the same. The Republican
convention will meet at West Point on
Wednesday. No leader is found who will
say exactly what will be done. but there
Is an impression out which seems to in
dictate that AR. B. w. Edwards. of West
Point, will be the nominee. Mr.. Edwards
is prominent young party man. and is
the editor Of the new Republican organ
of East Virginia. which IS published at
West Point. and known as the State Re-
publican. The convention is expected
to take some action on the question OF
registration. and the suffrage clause Of
the new Constitution Is expected to come
in for some biting denunc!ation. which
will doubtless be made a part Of the
platform upon which the candidate will
stand.
The district Is one OF the most relia bly,
Democratic in the State. and always goes
that way. Much easier will be the VIC
tory this year. as the new registration
Will prove Of great value to the Demo-
Gratis. There is no doubt Of the result
here. and 1t may be safely put down that

somewhat discouraging. In LynchburS
every effort has been made to induce the
white voters to have themselves properly
recorded On the pocl-boolSS, but results
thus far obtained indicate that there will
be a material falling Off in the registered
vote. For instance. in the Second Ward
Of Lynchburg. in which the work OF the
board OF Registrars has been completed,
the whites registered only go out OF
about 500 that We're on the old books. The
colored registered vote in this ward is
only 81 out of about go.
There are some who maintain that the
showing in the Second Ward is as. good
as could be expected. It is possible that
the Second Ward Board may ask the
judge of the Corporation Court to grant
them additional time. and If their petit
ton should be granted it is probable that
the extra days will be placed just before
the State Senatorial primary. which is
set for October 1th.
The Boards of Registrars in the First
and Third Wards will not conclude their
lahors until September 18th and Septem-

possible to say just yet what the total
