CONTEST FOR GOVERNOR.
No ORGANIZATIONS 50 FARM THE
SOUTH
The Platform to be Adopted VIII More
Than Anything Else Determine the Vote.
Democratic Principles the Slogan.

BRISTOL. VA. April 12-Special.-Up to
this time the coming gubernatoral con-
test has been but little discussed in SOUTH
west Virginia, and it would be impossible
to make anything like a correct forecast
at present as to which candidate will lead
in this end Of the State.
Both Mr.. Tyler and Mr.. Ellyson have
their friends in this end of the State, ana
there has been some correspondence be-
tween each and his friends. but as yet
nothing has been done in the way Of or
ganizing.
So far as the Southwest is concerned
The Times correspondent Is prepared 10
state that the platform which snail De
adopted by the gubernatorial convention
will do more than anything else TO deter
mine the vote on this point the candl-
dates have been advised.
There is every kind feeling for Mr.. Tyler
among the citizens Of this part of tNe
State} but so far as the sound-money
Democrats are concerned they will not
agree 10 support him or anyone else untii
the issue is determined.
THE SOUND MONEY LEADERS.
The sound-money leaders have been IN
correspondence. and they are agreed upon
this point. one Of the most prominent OF
these leaders states TO The Times cores
pondent that the demand is for gem
uine Democratic platform. that he mas
been advised as to the prevailing senu-
ment among the sound-money Democrats
and that no compromise will be accepted.
In this connection he recalled the
Stanton convention which sent delegates
to Chicago He said that the sound-money
Democrats participated in the convention
primaries without a thought that they
would 20 TO stanton and lind. instead
Of n Democratic organization. one parad-
ing under the title of free silver with
out any reference 10 Democracy
WANT SOMETHING BETTER
Tho sound-money men Of this end or inc
state would regard the endorsement or
the Chicago platform as the virtual ac-
ccptance Of the principles OF the st. Louis
Populist platform.
II will be recalled that from the returns
Of the last November election this 81 nti-
ment is strong in the Southwestern
counties. Uuless there is promise Of some
thing better than an endorsement OF the
Chicago platform. the sound money Dem
ocrats will decline 70 participate In the
primaries.

celved through the mail Friday a white

zens investigated IL and suspicion pointed
to a negro named Peter Smith. and 4
warrant was issued for his arrest He
was soon in the hands OF the officers and
for a white il looked as II they would
lynch him. Excitement ran high for a
while, and il was only by strong effort
on the part OF some of the best citizens
that he was not lynched lie was finally
released and allowed 10 have his freedom

a Joke. II so il was u most ill-timed joke.

through great deal Of excitement on ac-
count OF the two recent fires.
Mr.. Simon was not excited very much
over the letter. but was armed with three
good revolvers last night, ana had two
body guards 10 spend the night with him.
There are one or two temporary build
