RICHMOND. Va, September H. lssS-
AS was stated by The Star eorrespon-
dent several days ago, Governor OFerrali
activity as a worker while the political
Dot is smmering around him, has caused
him to take the first step toward an ac-
tive part in the campaign, and he has
agreed to be present on the occasion OF the
sound money democratic meeting here, on
September -, when General Simon Bolivar
Buckner and Col. John r. Fellows of New
York will address the voters on the cam
paign issues Governor OFerralrs- agree
ment to be present and introduce the
speakers is considered a significant fact
and IL is thought that before the campaign
is ever he will consent to make speeches
for TIE sound money cause Elaborate
preparatio<ls are being made by the gold
standard people TO give General Buckner
and Col. Fellows rousing greeting. and
efforts are being made to have both of

Judge Lewis a Candidate.
The announcement by the republican
leaders here that Judge L. L. Lewis has de-
termined to become a candidate for the
republican nomination for Congress from
this district, subject 10 the action of the
district convention, 10 be held at Hanover
Court Eouse next Thursday, has created
no surprise here 1t was thought tn at
either Judge Lewis would become a candi
date or that the republicans would put up
no candidate at all, but would simply sup
port whoever named by the gold
standard democrats That party has de-
layed the matter of naming a candidate
so lCrg that the republicans, it is thought,
grew restless. and decided to put up
man on their own hook. 1t Is not yet
known who will be the candidate on the
sound money ticket Leaders Of that party
Eere are still at work on the matter, and
1t is thought they will bring out a man In
a short while.
Fight for Sound Money.
The gold standard democrats are making
a strong fight in the sixth district Mr..
Duval Radford. who has been nominated
on the gold platform in that district, Is a
popular citizen of Bedford. and will make a
strong fight 1t is now understood that Col
J. Hampton Hoge. the republican candidate
from the sixth district, will bring all his in
nuence to bear upon the election of Mr.
Radford. ard 1t is highly probable that the
sound money candidate will be elected A
vigorous canvass will be made by the sound
money democrats In the sixth district ."
Matters in the fourth district have as
suned new phase by the addition Of an
other candidate in the field. A surprise was
recently sprung on both the democrats and
republicans by the announcement that John
Vile, would enter the race as an independ-
ent republican Mr.. Overton says he is in
the fight to stay. He will make a thorough
canvass of the district. This Is really an
outcropplng of the old fight between Gee
and Thorpe, which was thought to have
been settled until recently.
In the Second District.
Down In the second district matters in
the republican ranks have grown nttle
more harmonious. The national republican
committee has decided to recognize only DIR
Wise tthe Lamb candidate) as republican
candidate for Congress in that district II
is understood that Colonel Dyer, who is a
bitter political rival of DR.. Wise. may refus.
TO leave the field after he is notified of the
action of the national committee.
The silverites put up w. A. Young in the
second district, instead of d. G. Teyler
