tion-a convention Of friends Of Senator

tor Daniel arrived this afternoon. Gov
ernor Tyler came in at $50 tonight.
When Senator Martin got off the Wash
ington train at II o'clock this morning
he found a large number OF his friends
from various portions OF the State on
hand TO greet him. lie was accompanied
by Secretary-of-the-Comm Law
less. These two went to the main hotel,
but soon afterwards ex-Congressman

and Immediately drove out to the Fair

He went to the hotel, and as soon as his

to the hOspitable residence of the chair

considerable time was consumed at the
STATION in presenting The gentlemen VINO

THE NEWS FROM ORANGE.
The Governor was much interested. 10
put il very mildly, by the news received
when he got here that the Democratic
County Committee Of Orange had just
ordered a primary for the selection of a
legislative candidate, 10 be held Saturday
week. and that it was ordered that no
candidates name should be voted upon
unless ii were submitted to the commit
tee by the end Of the present week.
Il have no comment to make" said the
Governor. when / asked him it be cared
to express an opinion regarding the
Orange County Committee. ut speaks
for Itself. The people must draw their
conclusions"
Further than this he would not talk
There Is a movement on foot 10 have
the Governor make an address here to-
morrow. IL seems a certainty that he
will nave TO speak. lie has many friends
in this county.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
A member OF the County Committee
told me to-day that there was not
doubt OF a Tyler delegate being sent TO
the House from Prince William. coun-
" primary will be held late In Septem-
Der. This county and section is said 10 be
much more wrought up politically than
any in the State. With the exception or
an expected quantity Of horse talk, have
heard nothing to-day but the senatorial
contest. People are arriving here from
an the surrounding country. They talked
politics more than they did horsehesh.
Personal.
Among Senator Martins friends here
were Major q. W. Helm, Superintendent
of the Pententiary, who drove out 10 the
show-grounds with him; State Senator
Morris. Of Albemare; Hon. T. c. Pitcher
Of Fauquier; Judge John NJ. White. Of
Albemarle; J. i. Moon, OF Charlottes-
Vile: j. r. Wingield, Treasurer OIL
Albemarle; O. =. Anderson, one Of the
Senator's warmest friends in Rappahan- |
mock. and a number OF others from coun- |
ties more or less distant
Mr. $. NJ. Newhouse. a candidate for |
the nomination for the House from Gull |
pepper is here. lie says there Will be a |
primary 10 instruct the candidates as 70 |
the choice for senator. Or. $. r. Nc |
Clara. who is friend of Senator Mar |
tins, is a candidate for recollection.
Captain S. l.. Cooper. eX-member 0f the |
Cupeper County Committee. told me to- |
day there was no doubt Of n delegate |
favorable TO Governor Tyler being elected. |
The Rappahannock primary convention |
will be held October 9Th Both sides are !
claiming the candidate 10 be nominated. |
THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Speaker John r. Ryan was here all day |
to-day. Despite the frequent asser- |
tons Of those who oppose his /
reelection to the speakership that |
he will be defeated, he Is Sc !
rene and confident His reelection TO the |
House OF Delegates seems almost a GER
tainty as there is no opposition as yet. |
Governor Tyler's friends will be here |
i'm force tomorrow. Congressman RiXey /
states that Senator Henry Fairfax, of |
L.oudoun. is expected; also. Captain Joe
Willard. Of Fairfax, and Colonel +. Dor
sey Cole. Of Fredericksburg.
Four thousand people are expected 70
attend the Horse Show, instead of the |
20O0 of to-day
| learn that the programme Is 10 have
the Governor make an address, either at
the hotel or show-grounds.
HAND-SHAKING.
There was not a great deal Of political |
comforting to-day. So far as Senator Mar
tin and his friends were concerned, there |
was not time for II. Senator Martin and |
Senator Daniel shook many hands at the
but with the exception OF
an hour or two spent with several friends |
at the hotel there was little opportunity |
for political planning.
Late tonight the Manassas Brass Band
rendered the Governor a serenade al Mr.. |
'rhornton's residence. A number OF prom
inent citizens came In, and they. together
with the members OF the band were pre-
sented to his Excellency. The Governor |
