Richmond. Va, Oct. 13.-As stated in
my last nights dispatches all the talk
about Governor Tyler Withdrawing
from the Senatorial race is without
foundation. He has made up his mind
to stay in the field to the end. and still
claims that he has a chance TO win.
There will probably be some fun when
s the General Assembly meets Tyler,
(. j ones and other opponents Of Mr.. Mar
tin are. as far as outward evidences
indicate. no idea of giving up the fight
they have begun.
The Governor and family are expected
back here next week. James IL. Tyler,
Jr.. who has been i'll with typhoid
fever. is able to be out.
A CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.
The Congressional fight has already
opened UP in the Third District. Mr..
Jefferson Wallace, the chairman of the
City Democratic Committee, Is an
tive Lamb. They will both canvass the
district and make sneeches f0r the
Democratic nominee for the General
Assembly, and each one on his hips will
seek to perfect his organization.
Senator Martin Is In town, having
come here to confer with his friends in
reference to the Lancaster Richmond
contest. He Is as smiling and appar-
emily as happy ass ever. The Senator
is working hard to restore harmony in
those counties where it is lacking, but
he will hardly consent to advise his
, friends anywhere to withdraw.
FIGHT AGAINST COUNTRY GIRLS.
The labor people here seemed
determined to push the fight
against the bringing here of
tories at small wages. The matter is
attracting a good deal of attention.
The Young Mems Business Association
, recently established a bureau to en-
ploy country girls for factory work.
Many are coming into the city. They
receive 81 per week while learning. The
labor people argue that the girls can
not live here on so small n sum, and
that they are in danger of seeking to
make money by improper methods. The
officers of the Young Mems Business
Association are placing every possible
safeguard around the young woen. Tt
is said they will earn $40 a week In fac
tories as they become a little more eX-
perienced.
