POLITICS IN BRIEF.
ITEMS OF INTEREST CONCERNING
THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
PAT. M'CAULL In RICHMOND.
The Republican Candidate Here,
hut He Sees None of His Party's
Lendcrs-New Candidates Out
News and Gossip.

Hon. Pat. McCaull, the Republican
candidate for the Office Of Governor, who
is stumping the State in his own behalf,
passed through Richmond Sunday. He
remained here only few hours, leaving
that night, and during his stay saw
none Of the leaders OF his party. 1t 50
happens that most of the leaders VINO
reside In this city are Of the AgneW
stripe and McCaulI is a Lambite, and
hence there is not that congeniality ex-
isting between him and them as ordi-
narily exists between a gubernatorial as
pirant and the members Of his party
Among the callers at Democratic head
quarters Yesterday was Hon. Beverly
X. Harrison, member OF the House from
Amherst Mr.. Harrison does not stand
for reelection, but he has lost none Oh
his interest in politics, and says IVely
fight is waging in his county. Mr.. 3 -
Allen. a Republican, is opposing MT. q
J. Campbell. who has been nominated
10 succeed Mr.. Harrison, but the latter
gentleman says Mr.. Campbell will win.
Hon. Bland Massie has no opposition for
the Senate I'm the district composed OF
Amherst and Nelson. i. b. Young Is
running as an Independent candidate
against Mr.. Fitzpatrick, the Democratic
nominee for the House in Nelson.
HOT TIME IN ROCKBRIDGE.
An interesting contest is making in
Rockbridge. which elects two members
of the House. 1t Is thought possible tnat
Mr. James A. Frazier, one OF the he-
publican candidates for the House from
that county, may win, but 1t Is resarueu
as certain that Hon. j. S. Craig the "eh-
known democrat will be reelected.
H,otber candidate for the position OF
Roadster of the Land Once Is In the
eold in the person Of Mr.. Richard Drum
,nond of Amherst. There is big heid
Gov This Office. and the race promises 10
be exciting. ,oxo 1o,ters
