ono OF the smallest votes ever cast in
Manchester was that Of yesterday, when
Rlves carried a majority Of 2o8 over Har-
rison. The total vote was 8a2. Figures
from Chesterfield and Powhatan are slow
in coming in, but so far as received show
a lead for Rives for the House and Sad
Ier for the Senate Later returns will
Goubtless make changes.
4 The showing in Manches ter and Swans
boro gives Rives and Robertson the lead,
but from the outlying districts the major
tiles for the opponents OF the two men
mentioned turn the tide, although R!ves'
vote in some sections In the county was
remarkable as compared to a county county
opponent. #

more than one-fourth Of the registra tlon.

DEFEAT SQUIRE CHEATFIAM.5s4
At Oak Grove the returns Indicate that
Squire Cheatham is defeated by Mr. II.
Robertson, by the vote of Is to IS.
Squire Cheatham has held the position
for some time and his defeat will come
as a surprise 10 many people.
Owing to the distance from telegraph'c
and telephone communication the returns
from Chesterfield Powhatan and Gooch-
land will be slow In coming In. The re-
turns however. up to time OF going to
press show that Rives and Sadler lead,
the former for tha House, the latter for
the Senate, by the vote IS Indicated IN
