neighborhood of $4,000. The rest of
the ticket run about the same. B. o.
James, named to succeed the late Sec
Rotary Eggleston. and whose name had
to be written or stamped on the tickets,
kept well up with the others.
Every precinct in Richmond city but
one was swept by the Democrats.
Judge Mann received S.69s and Kent
s1S votes. All the Democratic candi-
dates who failed to get their names
printed onthe ballots were easy winners.

strength will exceed that in the present

paign reminds one of the man
who stimulated his mule to action
by tying a bundle of fodder just
ahead of his (the mule's) nose.
The animal pulled uplively, think
lug to secure the profits. The
main difference between the mule
and the Republican candidate
consisted iii the fact that while
the fodder was in sight the Re-
publican knew quite well that he
would get it in good time as a
reward for his labors-that, or
something perhaps alittle better.

The fight to Canada is the title
ofan editorial in the Washington

persons, carrying with them
$50, 100000 emigrated to that
country last year, and that
10000 additional or 10000 will
have gone this season. The Post
gives no cause for this emigra-
ton. but it seems not so hard to
account for, as living is cheap
and land plenty over the border.
Not long ago a man who lived in
the Dominion was visiting in Vir-
ginia and was wearing an over

stated this as $12. The same
coat cost in the United States
double that sum, and all other
prices are proportionate. If our
people flee to Canada possibly
this is one of the inducements.
