This portion of Virginia, the Piedmont
region and the Valley counties, are entitled
to the nomination. They vote the main
strength OF the party, and though always
true to the cause, they have received but a
small recognition of their strength and de-
votion to the party by way OF nomination
for leading positions in the gift OF the state.
Each section OF the State is presenting its
choice. and we are pleased to see that the
sentiment Of this section Is decidedly In favor
of Colonel f. w. NJ. Holiday, OF Wlnches-
ter.-Leesbtrg Washingtonian.
The Record is for Daniel for Governor;
not because he halls from some particular
" siden or section Of the Old Common
wealth, but because be is the man Tor the po-
sition. 1t is really amusing to see the war
kept I'D by the journals OF the different
sections relative to what "portion OF the
State deserves the honors. "-Lou,sd ne

Malone Is the man, and will be the next
Governor OF irginia.-RoGnoke pGAey.
There is considerable talk about the gu
bernatorial nomination, but it Is very dliil-
cult to form q correct opinion OF the strength
of the different aspiraDts, but my impress
sion is that Mai John W. Daniel. OF Lynch
burg; Colonel Fred. Holiday, OF Winches-
ter: General w. B. Talaferro, OF Glouces-
ter; and General Malone, are the strongest
candidates, and that their strength Is In the
order I have given their names. Nicely has
very respectable following, and may be
compromise candidate, though he laughs at
those who drink to him as the next Governor
OF Virginia; still am satisfied he is stronger
than even he thinks.

will make no nomination, and the anti

be the Conservative nominee. HIS enc

| Under these circumstances we cannot
agree with those OF our contemporaries who
say that there should be no question Of sec
tons in nominating a Governor, for il per-
chance gentleman inimical to us should
receive that office, then Norfolk will ncYi-

united.
1t is not our purpose, however, to so into
the question Of candidates at this time. We
shall wait until the entries for the race are
all made before proclaiming preference,
hut in the mean time we desire the ner-
chants and mechanics, the property-owners
and businessmen OF Norfolk, to consider

Tor the position Of Governor; but, having
become used to neglect, will be content
with the second or third place on the ticket.
