THE RECENT APPOINTMENTS.
While be was al the Office OF the Sec

night ne was shown the records i'm which
appear the names Of those on whose re-
c0mmendatlon the late appointments from
virginia were made. 1t disclosed that one
officer Is credited to Senator Daniel one
to Senator Martin. TWO to Governor lyler
and Senator Daniel. and one jointly 10
Governor Tyler and Senator Martin. GOV
ernor TYLER regards this showing as
complimentary exhibit OF the influence the
virginia Executive eXerts at the War
Department.
Governor Tyler's canvass for the sena-
torshlp does not appear 10 have affected
his usual robust health. II he Dee d de-
feated man. as the opposition INSIST ms

cate a feeling Of depression He expressed
himself as being very hopeful over the
outlook He comedies only '3 votes. UP
To- yesterday. go Senator Martin, and eN-
pects to get nearly every one or the
nominees yet 10 he chosen.
TWO CRITICISMS.
The Governor exhibited unusual vigor
I'm rfseuting the use the opposition is
making or the Wngheld reioinder to his
statement i'm that controversy. lhe 'oF-
ernor asserts that the document giving
only one side. and that not hn accurate
statement OF facts. is being sent out aH
over the State.
Another feature OF the campaign eyi-
IDENTIFY displeases him. the unfair attitude,
as he claims of the Martin men towards
the subject OF independent nominees. lie
maintains that the introduction of indie
pendents in the field comes not as re
suit Of any act or policy ot his. but is
the logical outcome OF tho refusal oi the
partv authorities to allow a full and free
expression at the polls of their preferences
I'm the senutorship. The blame he en-
phaticallv said last night attaches to the
Martin men. anf NOT t0 himself and his
friends Hc said he wished this distinctly
understood.
The Governor was not exactly pleased
with the result I'm Augusta yesterday,
where according TO the adyices received,
the Martin managers outgeneraled the
TYLER men and won I'm the convention.
His friends were confident before the
convention that Senator Martin would Doe
defeated I'm the selection of nominees. 10
appears 90 have been case OF lack OF
management on the part Of. the Gov
ernor's Augusta friends.
THE GOVERNOR INTERVIEWED.
Governor Tyler gave out The following
interview at East Radford yesterday be-
fore leaving for Washington:
EAST RADFORD. VA, Sept 6-spe
cial. Governor Tyler gave out the follow
ing Interview to-day:
Governor / see the Martin people are
claiming that they have virtually won the
fight. is this so?'
80. IL is not" he replied. "Did they
not claim this six months ago. before
single delegate had been nominated, have
they not been claiming it all the ume3
Did they not start out ON this line of ass
segtion and buT7 This has been their
policy. They rushed on 'Ward-mc 'tings,
and conventions. and I'm about thirty
DAYS after ms candidacy WIS announced
they claimed enough votes 90 show my de-
feat
eff they believe that the people OF Nir-
ginia think such methods as they have
pr1cticed fair honorable or just. or thar
they approve them either they or j,
greatly misjudga the people OF this state.
My letters from every nook and corner
OF the state show what the people think
OF the hasty and unfair plans that nave
been adopted This is not my fight II Is
the peoples tight They have called upon
me TO be their leader. and | will not be
untrue T. those who have and are repos-
Ing confidence in me
WHAT HE CLAIMS.
AS have said before, the fight is just
beginning Why, Senator Martin claims
s2 votes already secured. when the facts
are. that only 20 delegates and Senators,
including holdover Senators, nave been
nominated. or even virtually so. OF this
number Mr.. Martin has 53. though there
are more than dozen of these who are
willing to be instructed. | have without
a doubt. 81, and there are ) contested or
doubtful. This leaves 81 yet TO be nomi-
mated / expect to get 10 Of these.
Il see there is talk OF independents.
What Of this Governor
Il do not. know anything about them. I
