Friendly Fight For All.

LEXINGTON, VA, July 5.-Special.-
The county Democratic committee, Mr..
John a. r. Warner, chairman has been
in session for the purpose OF arranging
for representation at the State Conven-
ton, the senatorial district convention

All the matters Of general interest as
they were discussed gave rise more or

the candidates for the goyernorship was
adverted 10. All three Of the gentlemen

friends. and II is fair 10 conclude that
the delegation 10 the State Convention
would be divided among them.
The contest Is conducted In the best
spirit and I'm full appreciation OF the
merits Of each Of the favorites for the
high office. and no matter who Is chosen
bv the State Convention every Democrat
will work with unhnching zeal for the
standard-bearer.
Scarcely a reference was made as 10
the State Senator. Mr.. Jones. who has so
long and ably represented this district.
and is now recognized as one OF the
best equipped members OF the
Senate is a universal favorite. and his
constituents will without doubt call

OF Information a table Of estimates was
made up during the first week In June.
and by this estimate ii was shown that
we had grounds TO Justify an expectancy
Of over So Delegates AS a proof OF the
cOnservativeness Of our calculations, We
point 10 The fact that our estimates on
the counties and cities that have chosen
delegates, were that Major Tyler would
have IS. and Colonel O'Ferrall. %. Our
information is that Major Tylar has 81
and Colonel o'Ferraii 81, thus varying
only 3 votes, in the first 13S. This result
TALES so closely with our estimates that
we have decided TO make known our cal
culations. and TO assure our friends
throughout the State that IT is our can
did and sincere opinion that Lieutenant
Governor Tyler will be easily nominated
as the next Democratic candidate for
Governor; assuring them Of orr belief
that the general result viii vary but lit
tie from our estimates We anticipated
that the counties and cities that have
elected would move in advance. and that
first appearances would be as they in
dicate.
We also anticipate that many claims
will be made by first newspaper reports.
that results viii not justify. We ask that
our friends will be patient and persever-
ing, feeling that we can assure them Of a
triumphant victory.
