Der. Already, several papers have
given the Tyler ball roll, started n
few weeks since by the Lynchburg
Virginian. The O'Ferrall vanguard
has been heard from. I'nc Southwest
claims that it is her right to name
the candidate. II this be so, wo
would like to SEQ IL man named who
could command the admiration Of the
whole people, and whose ability to
govern is the cqu.' OF any statesman
In Virginia. We believe the South.
west has such nai:, aud that man
is Judge John II. Fulton, OF Wytbc
vile. Who III the State can say !hnt
he was ever known to push himself
in conspicuous places for public hon
ors? Egotisln has no abiding pluce
in his Being. lie is our IDEAL of u
grand Governor. Digaiied, courte
GUS, fair, honest, studiuus ue ,,rossivc.
broad minded, liberal, conservative
and positive-such II combination in
one man is rare. Who in the South
west would fill the Gubernator;nl
chair better than Judge l'nltoni We
are ready to hear obiections.-Gra
ham Headlight.
We endorse every word of Ike
above. Tho Headlight is, in our
opinion, right, AID Voices tho best
Judgment OF the best people of tho
Country, A man well rounded up in
all the high qualities aud qualiii.a
tons that fit one for GubeYua,or;al
honors; and who has never pressed
himself upon the political market is
rarity nowadays But such man
is Judge Fulton. If Virginia would
confer her highest honors upon one
emlnently worthy end well qualified,
Judge Fulton comes fully up to the
measure, for i'll war and in peace he
has always stood where duty called
without regard to the sacrifice i, cost

scarcely dry upon hir diploma and
law license. Virginia called upon her
cons to defend her bordefs; John II.
Fulton WIS among the very first to
respond and his lot was east under
the leadership of the great &tonowa!l
jackson. He participated in all the
great battles where his famous leader
aud command shed lusira unon The
Southern arms. But when Chanccl
louisville came and the world was
dazzled with the brillianry of Stone
wall last victory, and ut the same
time saddened by the news of his
death, John IL. Fulion, t!.cn ibo
captain of one Of the best companies
III the command was among thc fnll
en-. The bone i'll lis Nigh had been
shattered to atoms by Yankee bnl
let Amputation followed, and he
has gone on crutches ever since bn,
his mind, his conrngc. and manIy
qualities have never been mai;oc6
one whit. Let Judge Fulton be tho
Democratic nominee for Governo,
and the people OF his old judicial
circuit who saw the patient, honest.
upright and Efficient Judge as he sal
upon the bench for seventeen wears;
will show their appreciation Of him.

scarcely recall the name OF r citizen
IN our experience, whose popularity
has been SO continuous with MI
classes throughout this section o,

Conservative in character. modest il
demeanor, broad and liberal in his
