Surprises in Election

Richmond, Nov. Tuesdays gen.
eral election in Virginia, although ii
attracted but little interest in Rich
mond, brought forth many surprises
elsewhere and ended some important
contests in other parts of the state.
In many of the counties there were
spectacular fights for local officers.
Most notable OF these fights was the
contest for the county treasurershlp
OF Rockingham, between George Z.
Keezell, who so long has served in
the State Senate, and p. ". Reherd,
a republican. Mr.. Keezell, to the
establishment OF many, suffered defeat.
On the other hand, Alvah II. Mar
tin, the republican leader OF Norfolk
county, who has figured so conspicu
ously OF late in politics and political
discussions, was reelected clerk by a
handsome majority. The fight against
fusionism availed nothing against him.
!, The news of the defeat of Senator
A. 7. Lincoln, OF the First Senatorial
District, by Judge David Campbell
Cummings is another of the surprises
brought by the reports OF the election.
Senator Lincoln, although a republic.
can, has for years been most popular
in legislative circles. and in his own
party he has occupied prominent po-
sition. In she last State election he
was the republican candidate for Lieu.
tenant Governor.
In Stafford county the entire demo-
cratic ticket was elected. G. W. Her
ring, democrat, defeated G. A. Bryan,
who for twenty-five years las been
clerk of the court. r. c. L. Moncure
was elected State Senator from Spott-
sylvania, Stafford, Louise and Frederi-
cksburg.
