3ut 4 bare four days intervene bs-8S
tween the present ana the long s-awaited.G q
long discussed Henrico primary that is to s
close one Of Tho hottest campaigns in the Il
history OF the county. Thursday morn
Ing. bright and early. the ballotins will h
begin, and by nightfall Of the same day \
tho fruits OF the toilsome days and weeks
spent by aspiring and porsp1rlng candi-
dates, who have tramped the county from
end to end in quest Of votes, will be regis
tered once and for all. N #
TO the most sagacions and foresighted h
OF tho political reasoners and prophets \
it is we'll nigh hopeless task ITO survey
the field as 1t presents Itself at this time
and give, with any degree Of accuracy
and reasonableness, 8 forashadowing OF q
how It will appear next Friday morning. .ai
no listen n to the candidates themselves
erybody III 4 the field will be elected.Gj
and there will be some hal dozen m em-8a
bers Of the House, two or three clerks, 4
two sherlffs, three treasurers, the same
number OF mmonwealths attorneys u
.constables. Is, This mariifestly Is nothing
more than that ebulltion Of the hopeful
spirit which never en- tirelys deserts any
man. however gloomy the prospect may
appear, IA few persons here and there
have picked out, regardless of their per-
5sonaI predileotions. the men they think,
from the facts before them, will win. 81 But
there were others who would not see as
they did. Hardly two men can be found N
who would select the Same men, and there
Is thus no way of telling how the ude y
will turn. No attempt Is made here at SaS
forecast other than what each candidate
says for himself. AZ ssjl5. l3.s VA if

The vote polled in the primary will =
probably be very large In comparison
with the total regstrai ton. Nearly every
office Is hotly contested. and the interest
among the people Is very great. Every
vote will tell, and nearly every voter In
the county will go to the polls. IL
The now registration will cut q big \
figure in the fight, and in the mum ber OF
votes polled. Perhaps 800 new names
will be added before Thursday. and so
tightly are the lines drawn that these 500 4
may turn the tables In several OF the
contests Candidates have been srug-d
cling hard to keep up with the influx
and have been at the polls during tho
better portion of each day While tho I
registration was going on Many OF them
have gotten In some Of their hardest
Glicks there, and will con dnue TO do. So.
The majority Of the precincts have TN TN
large number Of new voters, notably

din's Shop, one Of the largest precincts
In the county. Vague rumors are floating
abroad OF some interesting and impor-
tant developments before the day OF the
