SWAN BROS,
The State Committee.

Aubrey Z. Strobe was last night de-
clared the nominee fnr the State Senate
from Amherst and Nelson counties ty
the democratic State committee in session
in Richmond. The contest brought by
State Senator Massie WIS withdrawn al
Ter argument before the Committee. A
new election was ordered to settle the
Amherst county craftsmanship contro-
versy. The committee adjourned before
reaching a decision upon the Norfolk
county contest.
A subcommittee appointed to arrange
the returns found all in except Alexan-
dria county. Chairman Ellyson said be
had been unable to hear anything from
this county and !elegraphed to the Alex
andria Gazette for the returns as pub
lished in that paper the day after the
election. The returns we're at once Tor
warded. The appeal from the Peters,
burg democratic committed decision was
first considered. f. d. Butler, canci-
dl;e for the city committee, complained
that he had been defeated by the use Of
pastors bearing printed names put OF
over the regular ticket. His appeal wa'
dismissed.
With Alexandra county missing anC
Norfolk county in controversy, the OF
fetal figures from the recent primary are
az follows;
Martin, 45,Il2i Montague, a5, 1893
Swanson, Al, 1862; Mann, 2O,O7S; vii
lard, 10, 545; Ellyson, 59,O7l; Cabell
I17,777; Anderson, 47,7S4; Williams
1858; Eggleston, 1898; Hulvey
l,O95.
At times the session was quite stormy
but final action on all the questions de
termined seemed 10 give pretty genera
satisfaction. The work WIS facilitated
by the appointment Oft sub-committe
to compile the returns, and while thi
committee was laboring in another room
the main body was wrestling over con
tests.

tor John w. Daniel, who are in Rich

danger. The State is safely democratic
and will give large majority for the
ticket. / shall be at the service of the
chairman of the democratic party for the
campaign"
Congressman Flood expressed the
opinion that the activity of the republi-

victory in November, Notwithstanding
the prediction of Republican Congress:
man Campbell Slemp that the democrats
will be badly beaten as the result of theiI
methods at The polls during the recent
primaries. Mr. Swanson has recovered
from the effects OF his hard work prior t.
the primary and is ready 10 take the
