ATRIANGULAR FIGHT.
The Gubernatorlal Contest Has Be.
come Decidedly Interesting.
ARRANGE FOR TIE. CONVENTION.
.Flusssiens that the state Committee VIII
- Have 10 Decide-rbs Tyler Forces
O'Ferraii's workers


cratic State and Executive committees
which will be held at the Exchange Hotel
Thursday night next at s o'clock.
The State Committee. with the ADVICE
of tho Executive Committee. Will decids
on the time and place of meeting. basis OF
representation. and other important de-
tails connected with the convention.
Popular opinion seerns TO favor rate con.
yention-that is. that the body meet about
the usual time. aud u Is regarded as prac-
tically certain that tho basis OF represen-
tatlon will be reduced from one delegate
20 eyere 100 Democratic voters 10 one
delegate 10 every 200. This wouid give
convention OF about 800 instead OF more
than |, 800. as has been the case the last
two times.
WHERE TO MEEr
Richmond. Norfolk. and Roanoke are
mentioned % the place for holding tho
convention. and n movement IL already
on foot here 10 raise a guarantee fund 10
induce tho committee 10 select Rich
mond. Touching this point tho CORE.
epondent of the Petersburg IndeI-Apped!
writes from Richmond:
1T would not surprise politicians who
have studied the situation TO see pretty
little fight in the state Committee next
Thursday when 10 comes 20 selecting The
place for holding the convention. There
are many reasons why Tyler will wish II
10 be held IN Roanoke. That city is near
tho hot bed of Tylerism and boomers OF
the Lieutensnt-Gove could be hauled
60 tho Magic City by train-loods. Besides,
it would be easier TO convince the dele
gates Of the claims of Southwestern Virgil
MIA to the first place on the ticket with
the convention In that part OF the state.
Presumably the O'Eerrallites would prefer
either Richmond or Norfolk. and their full
strength will probably finally 60 TO one or
the other of those cities as against hOa-
noke."
