Democratic Outlook in the Ninth.

Our Bristol advices Of yesterday in
dictate that the Democrats OF the Ninth
district are in mood TO enter upon IA
vigorous fight against Colonel Slemp
in the approaching campaign. We
have all along thought this would bee
the case. The voice of Democratic
pessimism has thus far not been heard
in that district. The spirit of Demo-
cratic surrender without game con
test, does not exist i'm that district.
Nor are conditions as unfavouble for
Democratic success as Republicans
would have us believe. 1t is quite true
that the Republicans of the Ninth en-.
JOY an advantage in the payment Of
poll taxes, but they labor under the
embarrassment Of intense fractional
disturbances. The Democrats, how
ever. propose to hold convention at
Bristol at AN early day--no candidate
having offered for a primary nominal
tion-and it is upon that occasion that
they will have an opportunity to line
mp I'm harmonious spirit, and present
at least thoroughly united front to
the enemy. With this accomplished.
and the nomination of "A strong candi-
ate, they will be able to give Colonel
Slemp as close and vigorous contest

The problem thus presented can be
stated as follows: Poll tax payment

gressive and verile organization, strong

FIRE INSURANCE RATES Co

DEMOCRATS WILL NAME CANDIDATE.

The Democrats OF the Ninth District
have intended all the time TO run Il
candidate for Congress. They have
never entertained any other idea. The
committee met in April, and from that
time, and even before, the nomination
of a man against Col. Slemp, or who
ever shall be put up by the Republi-
cans, was fully determined, and when
the convention meets in Bristol IA man
will be nominated, who will at least
make it interesting for Col. Slemp.
How the notion ever got into the heads
Of any one that the Democrats intend
ed to let the office go 10y, and make no
effort to wipe out the small majority
against them last election, is not known
The man will be forthcoming at the
proper time, and, it is to be hoped, the
right man, who will give Col. Slemr
the race OF his life-a fair. square
race, for his seat in Congress. This
statement is made upon authority, and
