II Uncle Fuller quite
naturally falls In with the good people,
and discusses a few politics" too, just
by way OF being 'in the SWIM to use
a little popular vernacular; for that's
the question occupying the Richmond
mans mental machinery just at this
time. And to start out L should say
the good people OF Virginia viii manu-
facture a Governor on Tuesday.
Yes. and he will be Demo-
cratic governor, for the unterrihed Jener-
sonians have just put their feet down
that this old Commonwealth doesn't need
any other kind The Gubernatorial seat
wasn't intended for a Republican Ger

in numbers sufficient to lift the Congress

{ In the right place. A typical Nirgiuian

fail to win the people. And Colonel
O'Ferral1 possesses these in an eminent de-
gree. He greets you with a smile, and
makes you feel that he's glad 20 see you.
Frank. good-ndtured and altogether kind
~ IN disposition, our next Governor bids
fair TO gain as much popularity while oc-
cupying the Gubernatorial chair, as did
gallant, whole-souled Fitzhugh Lee, whom
everybody knows only to like, and who
is the true Virginians idea Of how genial,
friendly and approachable a Governor can
be when he puts his mind to it,
And then there's Major Robert c. Kent, |
who will preside over the Virginia Senate /
next session. The Major has a great big |
physique and a heart to correspond. He /
comes from the county OF Wythe which !
has been long famous for it's whole-souled /
men, and loyal, choice VlrginlAns. none Of !
whom are more popular tfan oJr next /
Observation-Disclosures who is held IN the |
highest esteem rot only In his own dis
trict, but throughout the Old Dominion.
The fact that the Major was nominated /
by the convention by reclamation shows
how his fellows statesmen honored him. !
Hts love for the former and for Virginia !
citizens generally attract attention from
everyone with whom he IS associated. A !
smiling countenance made rudy by a
genial Southwest sun makes the Major
one of the most approachable Of men,
and when he enters upon his official
duties In Richmond, I predict that he viii
receive most cordial and hearty well
come at the hands Of every staunch Dem
ocrat I'm the Capitol City
As for Acknowledgement Scott, he Is
too well known in an official capacity, and
has performed his duties with too marked
ability and fidelity for further comment.
Sufficient to say that Major Scott's many
admirers in this city will grasp his hand
with true Southern cordially and tender
their congratulations with genuine Demo
cratic enthusiasm when he returns 10 his
old place.
But a word about some Of those who
will be seen doing some lively hustlng
around the polls, and on the streets
There's Chairman S. S. p. Patteson who
will be perhaps the busiest man in Rich
m0nd on Tuesday. The amount Of Dem
ocratc talk he can do on election day
would fill book. He Is an active and
staunch party worker and his heart IS
In the work. l never have seen the time
when he couldn't tell the voters how
straight 10 the deuce the Government ;
would go under any other than Democra-
tic administration. He will do his share
before old Sol retires for the night next
Tuesday. and when the result is announ-
ced his Il told you So" accompanied by
a proud smile. will be an Illustration Of
the happy man.
Then Captain A. B. Gugon can be de- !
pended upon TO DO a little individual
work at the polls I'm the interests Of the
right side, even II he gets entangled I'm /
some interesting complications, as when
Richmond helped to put Grover In the
White House. The same may be said ,
OF my old friend Uncle Billy Culling- !
worth, whose three or four hundred
pounds OF person will skip around the ,
voting precincts as nimbly as a frolc-
some lamb In Verdant meadow In SPRING |
time. Captain Cunningham Hall will
be on the deck. OF course 10 see that mat \
ters go straight while jim Flournoy Jul
Illus Hobson, Frank Cunningham, Charlie
Philips, James r. Epps. r. A. Bowery,
A. ID. Landerkin, and many others, too
numerous TO mention. will hold themselves
N readiness where you can put your
lands on them and count on their carry
ng out instructions from headquarters
In the county Chairman Mitchell never
'ails TO put in a good lick for Democracy
He gets about as quick as two-year-old
md has a most remarkable power OF
doing things and doing them well In a
short time. OF course he will )
be assisted by William H. Sands. T. =.
Waddill Tom Larus. Conway Sands. I
Barney Frischkorn. Bnford, Burton. and c
4 host OF unterrihed from the county. I
which has pulled through so many red :
lot contests. AS matter OF course old q
Ienrico Will stand by the banner, and Z
10 her duty like a heroine.
In Manchester, such hustlers as Ben p.
owen. o, l. Merritt Il. p. Weisiger, c.
n. Sims. Charles T. Wake, Bob Maurice.
