Voters of Henrico Must
Settle the Matter.
TWO RESOLUTIONS
ADOPTED SATURDAY
Majority Defies State Com?

CAMPAIGN hXPECTED
Chairman Ruffin Leads the Todd For?
ces?Letter from J. S. Patton De?
claring Nothing but Bond and
Secuniy Could Bo More
Lintiing on Todd than
Atty.'s Acc-pianc?.
Out of tho chaos and confusion that
prevail? ln Henrlco politice thero have
sprung, as the ultimate result of long
weeks of waiting and wrangling, two fac?
tions, ono owning allegiance to the State
Btmocratic Committee, tho supremo par?
ty power, and the other repudiating the
authority of that body and hoisting thu
standard of the County Committee as
that of the sole and rightful administrator
of affairs within Its realm.
In this manner tlio long drawn out
fight asumes Its linai shape, and ln this
manner will It now go to the peoplo for
arbitrament. Tho last twist ha? been
given to the tangle, and a tangle it will
stay until the day on which the ballot I
cast by the citizenship of the county will
cut the knots. Between riow and then no
other hand can Interfere. The now com?
mittee, the last resort of the disputants,
ha?. met, passed upon the matter, and
u-tlred, leaving the situation more cloud?
ed and befogged than before. The best
It could do. or the worst, was to split it?
self in twain, one Bide, the majority, go?
ing for Todd and county supremacy, and
the other, the minority, for Brauer and
allegiance to the State head of the party.
Each aide will now appear before the
people, upon whom will thus, after all,
be Imposed the task of deciding the-vexed
question.
Slump In Erauer Stock.
As predicted long ln advance, the new
committee, which met to orgunlze and
plan the party campaign, Jumped at once
Into the troubled waters'that surround
the oillce of treasurer of the county. To
the out?-lde It appeared that It met for
no other purpose. It worried along a
while over the matter of organization,
but then It took a headlong divo Into the
other thing. For some two hours or more
it lloundered around, until It finally
emerged at precisely the same point at
which It Jumped In, so far as getting
things settled ls concerned.
From the very outset It was easily to
be observed that any hopes Brauer might
have entertained of capturing the new
committee were vain. He was there with
a lot of his friends, but Todd was also
or. the ground", equally well represented.
They squared off on this point, but as
soon as the committee buckled down to
werk Brauer stock began to flutter and
show signs of a coming slump. The
Brauer nominee for chairman was de?
feated by two votes, and a Brauer man
was unseat?3d. The split began right here,
nnd until the moment of adjournment it
continued, with no change, except ln that
It constantly widened in favor of Todd.
At first Todd trimmed off but a small
majority, but small as It was It acted asa
powerful whip that was wielded with ef?
fect dismal ln Its consequences upon the
soaring hopes of the fronds of tho treae
uror. AVlth this scanty majority the Todd
forces controlled tho election of the ne,?
members, who had to ho chosen to 111!
vacancies, and with each such new mem?
ber seated tho majority was Increased by
one. Tho Bra nor wing would offer a
candidate; tho Todd would do the same.
The Todd man would be elected. Next
time, the Identical same thing would hnp
pen with ono vote added to the Todd ma?
jority. By the time the i-ommitteo got

THE HENRICO SITUATION.
Tho new Democratic Committee of II nrico mot yesterday,
ancl by a vote of eight to fivo reiteratoci the decision of the old
committee, donying tho jurisdiction of the Stato Central Com?
mittee, and pledging its support to W. J. Todd for tho offico of
treasurer.
This action by tho committoe caused a serious split in its
membership, and four out of the minority signed a paper recog?
nizing tho State Committoe, and pledging their support to Brauer.
Thoso gentlemen or some, of them, will probably resign noxt week.
Both Brauer and Toad will now appear in tho election, each
claiming the party nomination. The Brauer forces will contest
tho admittance of the County Committee to tho noxt ?Stato Demo?
cratic convention.
A lettor from Mr. Patton, of tho State Committee, declares
that both Hechler and Todd wero understood to agroo to submit
to the decision of the contrai body. Nothing short of bond with
security, Mr. Patton says, could have been more binding than tho
agreoment the candidates made before the Stato Committee went
into a consideration of tho matter.

Yesterday's foot-ball scores contain
some surprises and convey much infor?
mation that will give critics a Une on
the relative strength of the various
elevens. Tho surprise of the day was tho
defeat of Harvard by Amherst, a college
not heretofore considered formidable by
the "big four." While the details of tho
game are not at hand, sufficient Is given
to show that the Crimson team was un?
able to score on the men from Amherst,
and oven If the latter's score was a clean
fluke, It nevertheless does not improve
the situation from the standpoint of tho
Cambridge eleven. The defeat of tho
Harvard men by Amherst will be a
crushing blow to the adherents of the
Crimson. It has been known that tho
outlook there for a strong team was not
bright, but tho condition shown yesterday
leaves no hope of victory for Harvard
over Yale. Little Is known of Amherst
save that It defeated Bowdoln Wednesday
??3 to 0, while Harvard has beaten Bow?
doln ten days ago by almost the same
score, 24 to 0. Since that Harvard ap?
pears to be weaker.
Princeton's' score ngalnst Brown Is,
surprisingly large, and, following closo
upon the enormous score by tho Orange
and Black ngalnst Gettysburg Wednes
. day (OS to 0), there is abundant evidence
that tho Tigers' small scoro against

I unusual strength of tho District college

about the samo score that Columbia beat
them. Tho Providence team is usually

GENI LEE
GAVE BADGE
He Presented One to Miss
Adelaide Thurston.
DAUGHTERS OFCONFED'CY
The Little Actress Is an Honorary
Member, and the Richmond Chap-?
ter Was the Donor of tho
Pretty Badge.
Miss Adelaide Thurston's appearance
at the Academy last evening In the pro?
duction of Mr. Paul Wilstuch's play,
"Polly Primrose." was mado the occasion
of quite a social event, and the Incident
which followed tho third act, when Gen?
eral Fltzhugh Lee, on behalf of tho
Richmond Chapter of tho Daughters of
tho Confederacy, presented tlio actress
with a badge, was a variation in tho
programme, which was entered Into most
heartily by the brilliant audience.
Misa Thurston Is an honorary member
of tho Daugnters of the Confederacy,
and tho organization, ln this happy man?
ner, chose to recognize the talented
young actress and manifest the esteem
ln which sho la held by them. Pretty
Miss Thurston, looking for all the world
llko a sweet girl graduato receiving her
diploma on commencement day, stood
beforo tho General and with most becom?
ing blushes, heard his tribute to fair
woman, and tnen, m a most ingenious
manner, expressed her appreciation of
the honor that had been conferred. ?
This, however, was merely a happy
Incldont of the evening.
PLAY AND PLAYERS.
The play and the players must not bo
forgotten. Of Adelaide Thurston, Rich?
mond theatre-goers well know. There Is
piquant charm and a dainty graco
about her that goes straight to the hearts
of her audience and wins them oveu.
whether they will or no. Hers is a pei '
sonaU'ty. that endears Itself to ?'? ?e ??
have seen her. She has ivl'H",..-01"30
one doos not soon forgot. There is a
merry twinklo in her eye, half - saucy, :
half roguelsh, and wholly bewitching.
Whatever she does, she la simply Ade?
laide Thurston.
Mr. Paul Wllstach has this season
written a. new piay for Miss Thurston,
tho tltlo of which l's ' Po!?y Primrose."
Its scenos are laid ln Georgotown, Just
beyond the city of Washington. Tho
time Is during tho Civil War, but thero
ns no smell of gunpowder and thore are
no brass buttons.
HAS NO DARK CLOUDS.
The play Is a picture, without any dark
clouds of the war looming up ln tho
background to cast a shadow over the
bright colors. Thero Is not a line nor a
scene to which either Southerner or
Northerner could object. It Is a love
story, nnd wherever It may be played, lt
will demonstrate that "all tho world
loves a lover," and that "all Is fair ln
love and war."
In ite -production not a detail is lacking
to mako It perfect. Tho ladles' costumes
seem to have been resurrected from somo
grandmother's trunk, while the same re?
gard for the period Is shown In the male
attiro. Every piece of furniture, every
picture hung upon tho walls, Is in keep
! Ing with the scene, and thero la nothing
' to destroy tho Illusion that tho spectator
Is in Primrose Mansion, Georgetown, nnd
that General Lee's army Is on tho other
side of the Potomac River, awaiting tho
opportunity to march Into Washington
and capture the city.
