Richmond, Va. July 6, 1887.
Mr. EHyson's friends are u bit more
hopeful than they were a few days ago
He has captured over fifty delegates
since Friday, and this fact has inspired
his supporters 10 activity. 1t should be
ler is keeping up his lead. He has now
! about 400 Instructed delegates. and
needs only 375 more. The convention
VIII be composed Of 154S delegates, and
| II Will require i55 to nominate.
The contest for the nomination for At
torney General bids fair TO rival in in
terest that for first place on the ticket
1t begins to look as though all but the
shouting as, far as the Governorship is
concerned Will be over by the time Ro-
anoke is reached. But not SO as regards
the third place. 1t is yet anybody's
iight and very likely several ballots will
have to be taken before nomina ton is
made. Major Scott's friends are doing
| some tall hustling, and have captured
delegates in one or two uneXpec.e ed
places. None of the counties in his dis
trict have elected with the exception or
Prince William, which instructed for
him. Alexandria city has elected, but
did not instruct for Attorney General.
Ihe endorsement given Major Mann
rage FOR Lieutenant Governor by tho
| democrats of Franklin, is likely to bring
that gentleman prominently before the
/
tion. There are those, and many of
them, who think that if Populist is go
ing to be put on the ticket Page is The
pest man to give the nomina ton to. The
Iact, however, that there are three or
| TOUR candidates for ATTORNEY Genera ]
from the Majors section Will hurt his
| chances. -, 80
IheIe are ample evidences OF the fact
| that General James a. Walker is willing
% .ake tne nomination Of the Republi-
cans Tor LoVeiifor in the event that II
appears after the Democrats have m a
their nominations that he has n fighting
chance to win. 1fhe General does MT
Want 10 go III and be defeated He Il
hoping Tor serious diversion in tho
Democratic ranks as the result of
Solnewhat bitter contests. The Generals
republican friends say there will he M
trouble about his securing his nar,v,s
nomination 80. p1t'' , :"
