situation in Wise county, Mr..

democratic convention in Bris-
tol, when Hon. Henry G. Stuart
was nominated for congress in
the Ninth Virginia district, "a
fine organization had been per
fected in Wise by the demo
Gratis, with excellent prospectus
for a strong campaign
He stated that IL is yet a little
less than four weeks in which
poll taxes can be paid that a
great amount Of work would be
done along this line by the
party in Wise during that per
iOd. Mr.. Irvine saws that Wise
county is up and doing 20 defeat
the Slemp machine and that il
every other county in the dis
trict will do the work that his
county is doing and Will con
tinue 90 do. and make the ulti-
mate showing which he expects
his people 10 make, that he does
not fear Mr.. Stuart's defeat, but
feels confident of his election
lt has been found that there is
much opposition TO the Slemp
machine methods among the
republicans of Wise county and
many voters favor a change of
both men and methods. As to
these conditions Mr.. Irvine
said: 1.-The prospects for the
election OF Mr.. Stuart. as far as
/ am able TO see at this early
stage OF the coming battle, are
very bright, and with a good
stiff fight we will redeem the
district. Bristol Herald Cour-
