CULPEPER. VA, August 2L-(Spe-
cial)-Never In the history of the de-
servedly popular Culpeper Colt and Horse
Club has such a vast concourse of people
witnessed its exhibit as was present at
Monta Vista Park to-day. This was the
second and last day Of the meeting. and
II was thought that as circus exhibits
here Saturday, it would cause some fall
Ing OFF in attendance, but when the news
went out last night that Governor j.
Hoge Tyler was In the county, and that
Senator Daniel was also here and that
both would be on the grounds to-day IT
was like magic. Everything changed and
headed for the grounds. Long before the
gray mists OF early dawn had cleared the
horizon people began coming I'm. Hun
dreds came on foot, bringing their din
ners and just enough money to
pay the entrance fee to the
grounds. Others came on horse
back, and in every conceivable style
Of vehicle. The five trains arriving here
daily by o'clock from the Northwest
and South came to-day loaded with eager
and enthusiastic crowds The railroad
ran special train TO the park every
fifteen minutes. while some enterprising
and thrifty owners Of "lcbsters" and
wagons improyised with seats Of plank
drove a thriving business, handling pas
sengers TO the grounds at 10 cents piece.
II was l o'clock before either Senator
Daniel or Governor Tyler put in his
appearance on the grounds. There were
al that hour perhaps 1900 people to greet
them. Senator Daniel was Immediately
surrounded by admiring crowds who
thoroughly monopolized his time.
TYLER'S STATEMENT.
Governor Tyler. who was accompanied
by Congressman Rixey, was enthusiastic
caily greeted by his numerous friends.
and had word Of encouragement for all,
and he then made 10 your correspondent
the following statement: In reference TO
the table Of estimates given out by AR
Martins friends, it was no surprise 10
me. l heard weeks ago that such a
table would be put into circulation, and
that a rushing claim would be made
that Tyler would be beaten by the first
of September. 1t is an absurd attempt
at bluff, that should deceive no one.
Why, they claim that there are twenty
one hold-over senators, while there are
only nineteen, and certainly eight, per-
haps nine, will not vote for Martin In
stead of fifty-fve members, as Mr.. Mar
tin claims, having been nominated, only
tWenty-three members Of the House and
six members Of the Senate have been
nominated. Two of the senatorial noml-
nees have repeatedly stated that they
were not committed. and one is contested.
The figures leave Senator Martin three
ft, ha 70 ~ L.,
and giving Martin ten hOld-oyers, makes
Martins total twenty-eight, pretty fair
showing for me, when II is remembered
that up 70 this time neither my name nor
the name OF any candidate for me was
allowed TO go before twenty-one legisla-
tive districts. AS TO procrastination, !
could easily show that by such a system
/ could get nearly all the future nomi-
nees. / am confident of no less than
siXty-eight delegates, and urge my friends
not to be discomforted by such attempts
at bluff 1t is only another evidence
Of the weakness Of the other side"
