HON. MARSHALL MCCORMICK.
1t was given out today by close
personal and political friend of Hon.
Marshall Mccormick of BerryVille
be a candidate for the Democra tic
nomination for Governor before the
State convention next year.
The reasons advanced for Mr.. McCor-
mick abandoning his idea of entering
the race are that he will not have time
to make canvass on account OF
pressing private engagements, and that
he Is willing to stand back and leave
the field to others this time.
Mr.. Mccormick is enjoying a lucra-
tive law practice and has on hand now
among other matters, a case involving
over n million and half dollars. which
will probably be in the courts for some
time and he does not think that he will
be able TO spare the time which
proper canvass for Governor would re-
quirc.
The announcement that Mr. McCor-
mick Will not run for Governor will
leave northern Virginia and the upper
for the other aspirants, and they prom
Use to make the struggle lively there,
as well as in other sections of the
State.
