interesting, developments in the Henrico
county Democratic campaign on yester-
day. which will be brought to o close
with the silent falling OF the ballots on
tomorrow.
The struggle will wind up with two
monster meetings tonight. Ono will be
held at Terry's Hail, In shumakcr's pre-
cinct, and the other at Iardins Shop,
which is just beyond the eastern extremity
OF the city. Thus will be closed one Of the
largest and most spirited struggles fought
out In the county for many years. and
as to some Of the offices, the result
seems in much doubt. The candidates
will go from one meeting to the other
tonight, and the eastern and western
oxtrem,ties OF the city will be ablaze with
fiery campaign oratory at the same time.
The second temporary registration under
the new Constitution Is about to be com.
pleted in the county, and 1t has greatly
increased the Democratic vote.

at every precinct IN thu county Tomorrow.

ALL sDEN CONFIDENT.

| opponent Messrs Waddlll and Eroaddus
are both claiming the clerkship, while
| Messrs. Brauer, Heohler and Todd are
| In a pretty three-cornered struggle for the
treasurership.
One Of the most spirited 1lsnts is LOT
the office of Common ealth's attorney.
Senator Julian Bryant, who has never lost
political battle, Is putting up fine
hattie while Mr.. L. Q. WeEdenburg, a
born fighter, and an attractive CAM
pagner, Is likewise very active. Mr.. c..
W. Throckmorton. long q resident, and

pected to await the return at the court
house tomorrow night, and many demon'
