But Senator Davis refused to vote
for Anthony as a substitute for
Bayard, and some think that he will
not vote with the bulldozing Repub

the Democrats Mr. Bayard will keep

kind ever seen, in Lynchburg. . Before sun
rise the" denizens of the rural "'districts bc
gan to swarm into our city; and by 9 o'clock
the streets were literally packed. The cause
of this unusual ouipO'uring of the populace
was the appearance in this place of Coup's
four-ring circus and Paris hippodrome. The
parade certainly eclipsed everything of the
kind ever seen for novelty, attractiveness
and splendor. ' I
"Of the performance, there was ; but one
verdict from the people: 'Simply immense;'
and many who, went, this afternoon "will
visit it again to-iiight; for the hippodrome
races supass the expectations of the most
sanguine. The racing stock is in splendid
condition, and as they fly around the race
course the enthusiasm of the people knows
no bounds, and deafening .cheers greet the,
victorious racer as he bears away the palm
of - victory.. The. circus, department, ? in
threo4iistmcrings;iis:equaUy Mr.
Coup will always findr the purse strings of
bur citizens open when he repeats his visit."
