I,nok ?0 the Future.
Mr. Morris and Mr. Rouiitrcc wero |
apprehensive that :it some ?future lime
corporate interests witii large Invest- j
tnents at slake might, by forming a
c'ombinatloni secure control of the elec?
torate ami place their own men in pow- j

rious situation was that uf the 9,000
registered voters in Richmond, but 6,000
'usually vote, of whom 1,400 are em?
ployes of the city of Richmond, it j
each employe could Interest two friends, |

opposition (o Indiscriminate salary lit-,

that the city got a dollar's worth of I
work for each dollar of pay.

Mr. Meredith and Mr. Pollard agreed
that the ordlnan.-e. rcdlstrlctlng the city j
Into wards could be ndopted by the

to redlstrirt the city after each de?
cennial census, and may be compelled
to do so by mandamus, on application
of any cltlr.en. If adopted by the Coun?
cil it will rut the i'ommon Council to

dear memories of Joseph Jefferson,
"Kip Van Winkle" has again awaken?
ed from a long sleep, und hus come
back to his llttio village and to Us, in
tho person of Thomas Jefferson, the
son of "Kip's" creator
The play, or at least Its story, needs
no word of comment; it Is almost as
familiar as "Motgfur tloose" to chil?
dren and grown-ups alike. Many of its i
quaint, old-tashlonod lines nro quite!
out of date?children of six do not, to-I
day, say "Hark . to the thunder!"?but j
il is their very qualnuiesa ttiut makes
much of its well remembered charm.
Thomas Jefferson, with u, voice much
like his futher's, features that remind
onu of our own old "ltlp"?even to tlio
Cleft ehln?plays, the famous part In
just the same manner, employs t lie
same familiar methods In expressing
humor and pathos, us did his father,
certainly, so far as one of this par?
ticular generation can recall. He Is
the same careless, drunken, happy vag?
abond: the same kindly, loving father;
the game suddenly sobered wretcli cast
out lnV> the storm, and the same pa?
thetic, forgotten old greybeard, with his
rotted gun and ragged clothes Ho
plays with ease and certainty, never
forcing the humor nor overplaying in
llie serious momenta, but mukiug each
point clearly and effectively. In short,
Mr. Jefferson Is an artistic and ac?
complished actor und his "Kip" Is well
worth seeing.
At the close of the fifth act. re- ;
spending to numerous curtain calls, ho
said. "Doubtless many of you hero
present have heard my father suy that
he had played before your fathers, your
grandfathers and your greiit-grand
fathers; It Is my ambition to play be?
fore your children, your grandchildren
and your great-grandchildren." and not
another word?an ideal curtain speech.
The production itself, the scenery
and settings. Is of u poor and cheap
character, while the "extra people" em?

DECLINE TO MAKE
RACE FOR AUDITOR
Pitts and Harris Not Candidates.
Believed C. Lee Moore Is
in Lead.
Two of tho men mentioned In the
. -ssg j,, connection with possible can?
didacy for the ofllco of Auditor of
Public Accounts have indicated thai
they will not seek tho position. D. H
Pitts, now* a member of the House ol
Delegates from Alb.murle county, *at
In the city yesterday, and said that US?
of his name :v?* entirely unauthorized
He said that he would not seek noi
accept the ofllcc, although he has re
eelved letters from colleagues Indicat?
ing that they would volo for him In
the event of hla candidacy.
Captain J. M. Harris, of Hlockstone.
!?? also not a candidate, und in all
probability will not be one. He wants
no office.
The opinion prevails that C. L?e?
Moore, now chief clerk In the Auditor'*
office, and who has been connected with
the department for twenty-six years
has a lon^g lead In tho fight. The Rich
mond deelgutlon Is understood to b?
pit-dged to Mr. Moore, with perhaps
one exception. While Colonel Kugens
c. Majrsle has some Influential friends a
should his home city membr^Cs l?e
against him. It is believed hla plea
would be. weakened before the Joint
Democratic caucus, which will select
a successor to Carttaln H. R. Donohoe.
A good following from the western
part of the State will. It Is understood,
be secured by lt. M. Darnell, of Roa
noke.
One final effort will, 11 Is said, be
made to Induce Captain Donohoe to
reconsider hla determination to with?
draw. Ha has. however, held out no
hopes of .euch action.
