TYLER AND MARTIN.
The Fight for the Virginia Senator
ship viii Be an Earnest One.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
RICHMOND. Va, July 13.-Although the
address of Gov. Tyler announcing his can
didacy for senatorship was expected, it
has created a great deal of interest, and
his bravery in making the run when 9TH
ers declined to make the fight is freely
commented on The reference to the de-
cision of the people in the address makes
it plain that the governor depends on the
local primaries in the state to carry him
through. Just how far this method will
prevail in the state is very uncertain. a
primary will be held here and Martin does
not oppose il. His friends think he can
carry the city and argue that to win the
five Richmond delegates early in the hight
would be fine advantage. The Tyler
people are suggesting primaries with mi
nority representation in the caucus. but
the plan IS not regarded as possible. The
governors address is regarded as being a
well written and ingenious paper.
