HENRICO'S

FIRST SPEAKING

State Committee Getting Ready to Sup?
port the Claims of Mr. Br..uer?Old
Democrat Pledges the Present
Treasurer His Support.
Struggle to Last Until
ELction Day.
A bitterness born nf long contention is
beginning to creep Into the political fight
In rfenrlco and to stir to Its muddy depths
the stream that is already raging like
sonic swollen torrent.
Each day that passes, lessening the rap?
idly disappearing Interval between the
present and the coming election, witness?
es to some harsher and fiercer note that
sounds out above the din of the warring
factions; some new and more fiery on
niaught that for the time being distracts
the attention from the main issue and
centers it upon Itself. As time flies by
and 'the battle thus, so far from weak?
ening, shows dally more signs of gather?
ing strength, it Is evident that It will
be a fight to the finish, tooth and nail,
knife to knife. The local and personal
feature has In. a certain respect almost
entirely been eliminated, and the contest
becomes one of State-wide importance.
The Central Democratic Committee is
pitted against the insubordinato County
Committee, and the two, w.il) 'test their
strength tothe-lasilpg harm of the party
In the county, which gives l'air promise of
being rended in the struggle. And mean?
while Hi?? two men, representatives of the
discordant elements, around whom the
light Is waging, are pushing their per?
sonal claims, and arc beginning to at?
tack each other In no uncertain style.
Flirgirg Mud.
A perfect stream of circulars, posters,
letters, cards and other campaign litera?
ture is flooding the county. Both sides
?re sending forth enough paper to litter
the county from end to end, and somo of
it is pretty hot stuff.
Mr. Todd. Is out with a circular that
will .shortly be scattered broadcast over
the Held, lie riuotes the resolutions adopt?
ed by the County Committee, and then
proceeds to belabor one or two prominent
Riehmonders. "You see from the above
(resolutions)," he says, '?that both com?
mittees, representing Henrlco county, hayo
declared me the nominee of the Demo?
cratic party for the office of treasurer,
and 1 Intend to stand by their ruling."
?Proceeding, .Mr. Todd declares that the.ro
Is a crowd of political wire-workers from
the city of Richmond, headed by two well
known Richmond men, whom lie names,
who seem to think that the people of
H en rico county haven't sense enough to
manage their own affairs, and who are
trying to put h collar around their necks
and lead them about like cattle. He con?
cludes by calling upon the people to volo
for himself, "the regularly declared nom
ir.eo of Henrlco county."
On the. side of Mr. Brnuer there is no
lack of activity In the matter of sending
out circulars, etc. A staff, of young men
v.as busily engaged last nislit mulling
several thousand pamphlets, posters, etc.
One of them was the Interview with
Chairman Kllyson, printed yesterday
morning. Another was ? pamphlet in?
troduced by a letter from ?Mr, Brauer

cratic voters, "having received the nom?

An effort was made yesterday, presum?
ably fremi tho Todd side, foi a series of
Joint meetings, but It was totally with?

.flatly refused to entertain the proposition,
Just what passed in this connection

JURY CREATES
MUCH LAUGHTER
Unique Verdict Impels Judge
Witt to Tell a Good
Story.
Tho Hustings Court was engaged yes?
terday In the trial of O, P. Wright on
the charge of throwing rocks at a street
car during tho recent strlko and at 4:30
? o'clock the Jury brought. In a verdict Of
guilty and fined tho prisoner $5 nnd
costs. Tho latter amounted to about. $"u
and t.lie man went to jail for three montila
In default of payment. The case con?
sumed nearly the. ontlre day and among
tho witnesses was Captain Carter Brag?
ton, of Augusta, who was in command
of one of the military companies during
the trouble,
Mr. D. O. Wendenburg defended tho
accused nnd he was prosecuted by Judge
D, C. Richardson.
A very amusing incident occurred when
the Jury rendered the verdict, The body
not being familiar with the law sought
to reduce the offense ho as to take It
out of the penitentiary class and found
the prisoner guilty of "assault and bat?
tery." The verdict greatly nmuetvl
Judge Witt and his portly form fairly
shook wltl) laughter, Klnally he remind?
ed the foreman, Mr. R. T. Daniel, that
"assault and battery" could not bo com?
m)tti'd whore a street car or other Inani?

minded of a Jury of hie-court which ro

PUBLIC SESSION
IS ABANDONED
Kiog Edward Vainly Endeavored to
: Persuada Two Commiss oners lo
Say They Accepted the Si ua
tion?Are Very Soro and
Almost Accuse Lord
Alverstont.
(By Associated Press.)
? LONDON, October 20.?In consequence
of the attitude maintained by the Cana?
dian commissioners, Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone decided .tills, morning not. to
hold the proposed public meeting of the
Alaskan Boundary Commission, but to
hand Its decision ; to Messrs. Foster and
elf ton, 'respective'" agents of the American
and Canadian Governments.
The Canadlan'coramisslonors not only de?
clined to algn the award, but said they
would publicly withdraw from the com?
mission. They, as'well as all the Cana?
dians connected with tho case, are very
bitter. Telegrams from Premier Laurier
and other prominent persons in Canada
show that this sentiment Is shared gen?
erally throughout the Dominion. The
Alaska award relating to the Portland
Canal gives the United Stated 'two is?
lands, Kannaghunut and Sltklan, com?
manding the entrance of the Portland
channel and the ocean passage to Gort
Sjfimpson, and. . destroytoj; the strategic
value of Wales aniTPmrRe inlands, which
are given to Canada.! '., '-' .
The change In the'Alaskan, procedure
(due to Lord Alverstohe's-declslon not to
hold the proposed meeting and to hand
the tribunal's decision to the American
an? Canadian Governments' agents)
caused -much astonishment among the
people who crowdedthc corridors adjoin?
ing the .-waiting rooms. Ambassador
Choate, .as well as the Canadians and
others immediately connected with the
case, were admitted to the room where
tho tribunal had been holding the open
sessions, but the commissioners remained
closeted In the Cabinet room. The sec?
retary? of the commission, Reginald T.
Tower, finally emerged and Informed the
waiting crowd that .no puhllc session
would be held, and that the award would
?e made public through the agents. No
explanation was offered, and but few per?
sons knew that the attitude of tho Cana?
dian commissioners was responsible for
the awkward change.
Very Sere.
The Canadians feel very sore over the
outcome. They almost openly accused
Lord Alverstone of partisanship. When
the latter presented them to King Ed?
ward at Buckingham Palaco yesterday.
j the King endeavored vainly to Induco
Messrs. .Tetto and Aylesworth to say they
were satisfied or that they accepted the
situation, but the two Canadians declined
to In any way express acquiescence with
this view. They simply shook hands for?
mally and bowed. '
One of the Canadian' commissioners
afterwards said to a representativo .of
tho Associated Press:
"This award affects much more the
relations between the Dominion and tho
mother country than people here seem

that if, as ho thought probable, George
B. McClcllan is choson Mayor of New
York, he will bo.a strong candidate for
tho Democratic nomination to the presi?
dency next year, has attracted consid?r?
able attention. Mr. Jones believes Mr.
McClcllan will win by ?O.COO majority. Ali
McOlellan Is not regarded as an especial?
ly strong man by hie colleagues, but'Mv.
Jone^, who knows him specially well,
thinks him a u-ery ablo man. ThnprostiRO
of a big 'victory In New York city, would.
undoubtedly make Mr. McClellan fi inali
t? bo reokohed-with. in the next conven?
tion.
' Tho Democrat? of tho District otxohjfnv '
bla will, it is said, support Wlllian) G!.
Hearst in the convention. This statement
is made by the loader of one faction p.f
the party in this city. The district wt.l
have eleven delegates In the convention.
There was a contest at the Kansas City
contention between two delegations, and
hoth were seated, each delegate being
given half a vote. It Is not kno^n ' thtit
both the district factions favor tho nomi?
nation of Mr. Hearst.
/ SOURING ON ROOSEVELT.
A'gentleman from Wisconsin, who Is *
lifelong Republican, told me tills morning
that thero was a great falling off In the
popularity of Mr. Roosevelt In the West.
"I suppose ho will bo nominated," li?
said, "hut I would not be cer?
tain that he would not have op? '
position In the convention. I think ;it
perfectly safe to say, however, that hp
would not get as Inrge a vote as he would
have received twelve months ago.. Conser?
vative men arc afraid of him.".
Uno of the best known Republicans In
Southwest Virginia said a few days ago
that if Mr. Gorman were the opponent-of
Roosevelt ho should vote for Gortn&o.
THE CONGRESSIONAL RUSH.
Washington Is filling up very percop
tibly In anticipation of the opening ofth?
congressional session. The hotels are all
filed, not to overflowing, but crowded
In comparison with their deserted condi?
tion two months ago even. Few mem?
bers of Congress are here yet. They wilt
not come In noticeable numbers until
ufter the election. November Od.
Senator Teller, of Colorado. Is here. He
said to-day that he thought the'Demo?
cratic party was In good condition for the
i-ontosi In 10W. and that with either Gjpr
nuui, Parker or Gray as tho nominee,
thero was excellent chance of winning
lie Indicated very decidedly that he pre?
ferred Judge Gray as the standard bearer.
In view of tho fact that Senator Teller
bolted the Republican Nations I Conven?
tion In 1?"? because of Its refusal to de?
clare for the free coinage of silver, since
which time he bus occupied a seat on th?
Democratic side of tho chamber, his ut?
terances as to candidates Is significant.
Judge Gray, for Instance. Is understood
to have voted for rainier and Duokuer In
isni nnd for Mr. McKinley inl?'rtO. It is
as certain u? anything In the future
can be that the national convention wilt I
rot reiterate the Kansas City platform.'
Yd Senator Teller will support the nom-'
mee, Ills declaration seems to mean h?
i.: a Democrat for keeps,
