Senator Daniel had but little TO say
about state politics. but seemed fairly
confident that Congress would again be-
rn rs lab0rs about September or Oc-

There was no dearth Of state politics
talked ~ here to-day. and the gentlemen
u the ground seemed to consider that
the nomination for Governor was far
from being the exempted property of any
Individual AS yet. The Richmond dis
patch I'm the Washington Post of this
morning which listed the group Of as
rrauts for Office that greeted Colonel
OFeuaH. and announced his plan Of
campaign. was tho subject Of considerable
comment. and was very generally in
dorsed for the reason that 10 did not
attempt 90 infer that there was no other
candidate in the field. The fact IS. there
are several candidates for this high honor
whose names seem to find difficulty IN
reaching the papers of the state. COLO

,eo.v prove "a very strong man. and ]
