Tomorrow the democrats OF this, the
Eighth. district will hold primary cleo
ton 10 nominate candidate Tor Con-
ores, to fl the vacancy caused by the
death of Hon. j. F. Rixey. On the
very eve of the election the result is still
in doubt, and at least three of the four
candidates are claiming the nomination,
while the fourth, Mr.. John F. Ryan, OF
Loudoun, up to late hour last night
rot only had rot conceded his defeat,
but claimed that he would be elected.
As lar as can be learned there has
baen considerable betting, but the
amounts are small and no one will be
much hurt whoever is nominated. Cham-
mons of the .veral candidates have pre-
pared states forecasting the result, but
the candidst.s themselves give out no
figures. The following were the elaine
al the friends Of the candidates at y
O'Clock this morning, but subsequent
events have broken these states to pieces
