May Not Try for the Govcrnorsbip

Richmond, Va. March 20.--(special)
Now that 1t is settled that Judge Day
or Ohio, is to succeed Cen Fit2 Lee ut
Havana and that the General will De
back In Virginia by April 15th the ques-
ton that is interesting many Is what
Will tho General do with reference to
the call made upon him to run for gov
error? That he Will BE pressed to be-
come Il candidate there is no Doubt
That lle would not mind filling the office
for one more term IS quite certain, but
there may be reasons why he would not
care to enter the race. Many OF his best
friends arc pledged to either support
Ellyson or Major Tyler, and Ice could
not get them away. He would hardly
becomc IL candidate unless he believed
his chances good for carrying the con-
Nentlon by storm. IN view Of the fact
that 1t Is his purpose to oppose MIR. Mar
lin FOR the Senate, the General could not
risk going into this fight unless he were
dead sure" lie would Win Therefore.
1t cnl be seen that the situation Is such
as to call for serious consideration on the
part of the General.
am told that General George j Humid
ley OF Amelia is certainly L candidate
for Attorney General This makes two
from the Fourth district-Mr Lnssiter
DelliS the other.
WILL PRESS SILVER.
Some OF the silver people are prcpar-
ing the way to rcatfirm the Chicago
platform when tho State convention
meets. One gentleman has put, out six
hundred letters to silver leaders asking
them what they thought should he done.
Nearly every reply was to the effect thilt
the State convention should stand BY
the Chicago platform. The author. O.
the letters told me that the silver pco-
pie were prepared ITO have the county,
and city conventions endorse the chi.
cago platform and that the issue would
be pressed.

In this city in many years. The tobacco
trade met today and culogiZed the dead

while las mind was wandering, it went

fiill when he cried out. II am @. Dem
