Richmond, Va, Nov. 9.-(Special.)-
While there has been no formal action
by the Gold Democrats and the Repuhll-
can leaders looking 10 fusion next fall,
ana making the election laws the issue,
II Is quite certain that gentlemen repre-
sehtins each party have compared notes
ana are now considering how best to CO.
operate. a gentleman who is in a posi-
ton to know the Views OF many others,
told me to-day that he Thought the Re
publicans would agree to this PLAN The
Golu Democrats to make nomination
Tor the State ticket and for the Legisla-
ture in counties and cities having Demo-
cratic maJorities, and the Republicans
70 make Legislative nomination In Re-
publican counties and cities. Fltz Lee
Tor Governor, some man from South
western Virginia for Lieutenant Cover
nor, and Colonel ". e. Cameron for At
torney General, is the latest ticket sug-
gested. The Gold Democrats have not
very strong hopes of inducing Lee to
run, but they Will try very hard TO get
him to head the ticket. All the states
have Governor O'Ferrall for Senator,
but some OF the Republicans do not take
kindly TO this suggestion. Unless all tile
signs fail there will be some interesting
developments politically In Virginia very
soon.

much opposed to his reported candida
cy for Governor. They desire him to

Representative. Outside OF the Fist
District many prominent Democrats
hope Mr.. Jones will continue in the
house. He has been there longer than
any OF the members-elect from this
State. and Is considered the ablest man
IN the delegation. Hon. ]. Hoge Tyler
Il certainly In the race for the nomina-
tion, and II can be stated that there are
many people urging Hon. j. Taylor Ell
iyson to run. 1t would not be surprising
u ne should consent ito enter the race.

lation Mckinley ought to have had the
