In the first place Judge C. E Nicol is
going To be elected by a safe plurality. In
fact, We people In Fairfax, or, at least
a big majority of as, do not see how the
lead the judge will have in the counties
of Fairfax. Alexandria, and Prince VIII

overcome.
The judge will leave these three cOun-
ties and the city with over 1900 votes

flaucring votes in other parts Of the dis
trict.
He has Mr. Ramey. Of Stafford Cwho,

Fairfax will give the judge about 70C
votes. Prince William viii give him at
least 500 votes. Alexandria City at least
400 votes, and Alexandria County about
goo votes-a total Of 2100 votes: while
Loudoun will give him at least 300 votes
and Fauquier M least 500 votes. and the
other counties will give him. as before
said. flattering votes, and we feel assured
that the judge will receive considerably
over 5000 votes in the district.
The judge is a man who viii draw from
