Governor, is about SO yenrs of age and came
from New Jersey since the war. He was one
of the Carpet baggers, who brought means
with him and purchased land in Surry. He
has represented that black district in the
Virginia Senate.
Judge David G Fultz. of Staunton, for
attorney General, was born near Stauuton
in 1901. In 1926 he went to Bath county
and practised law, and ten years after, re-
turned here, where he has remained ever
since. He was elected to the State conven-
ton of 1851. when the white basis was the
question and was an earnest advocate of it,
! and of the change in the judiciary election
system. Being man of moderate means,
he had never been an Office seeker, not be-
| ing able to take one, and has been industri-
ously engaged in his profession. He was APP

| INTERVIEW WITH THE CANDIDATE FOR AT
ToRNEY GENERAL.
On visiting Judge Fultz's office yesterday
afternoon we found a tall slim gentleman
wearing gold spectacles, dressed in black,
with scrupulous neatness, with a good deal
| OF grace of manner, smoothing over a very
cold address. Though over 10 years he
shows not the slightest sign of decrepitude
and might be taken for man of so. This
conversation followed an announcement that
the visit was caused by his having suddenly
become public property.
The JUDGE don't know about that.
Reporter you are up for pub
lie office.
Judge Fultz.-Yes, but [ am not in il vet.
Reporter came to know something of
your public life.
Judge FL have been very little in pub
lie life sir, with my means l have been busy
at my profession for support. l was in
the Convention Of 81, when the white basis
question was up, and when we would have
carried it but for the folly of Henry A. Wise
who, when the very point of victory had been
attained, defeated it by some silly motion,
though he had been advocating it. That man
it seems to me, does nothing but damage. I
believe he brought on the secession. A mis-
cradle fellow. In that convention / advoca-
ted the change of the life tenure for Judges
[ shall never believe in the judiciary not be-
ing responsible to the people, and the old
life tenure made them almost irresponsible
The judges ought to be elected by the peo-
pie now. After all, it is the peoples affair
!. i
Reporter-What do you think of Hughes
Judge FL don't know much about him.
| hear he is poor speaker, but very pow
erful with the pen. hear that he claims
much of the credit of getting the amended
bankrupt act passed but that doesn't say
much for him for [ doub if there was ever
any act more burglingly drawn.
Reportel-Do you know Fam sdell.
Judge F.-No, but [ hear him very well
| spoken OF.
