. TYLER STOCK. GCIss UP.
! 1t is stated that the stock of Senator D.
| Gardiner Tyler, OF Charles city IS NOV
! ing upward, and that the fight IS probably
between him, Senator Harry L. Maynard,
of Portsmouth and ex-Congressmari w
| A. Young, OF Norfolk city There Is no
| good politician however, who viii venture
| to name the winner. and a present 1t may
be called anybody's fight.
The Fredericksburg convention was

George W. LIE Cato, OF that county, was
| in the city Yesterday, on his way home
| Mr. Matthews said The delegates and
prominent leaders who attended the con-
! venton were almost q un!t for Dr.. Lie cato
| for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 81 the next Demo

! WENDBNRURG THE MAN
| Mr.. Louis o. WendeuburE, OF this CITY.
| has been selected TO present Congressman
! Lambs name to the convention next We'd
! uesday, and he will no doubt perform the
| task in most Pleasing ma1aer.
| Mr. Wendenburg is an exceptionally
| captivating speaker. and has euthused
| many Il Democratic audience with spon-
| taueous bursts OF oratory in the past
| Seconding speeches Will be made by for
| mer Senator F. NJ Parrish, OF GoochiaHd:
! Commemorative Attorney Alvin II.
| Sands, OF Henrico; and other good speak
| ers. Prospective Chairmen Buchanan and
| Curtis are both entertaining speakers. and
| combining all these with the speech OF
! Congressman Lamb in accepting the nom
| nation oratory will flow in the couveu-
| ton like sparkling water down the noun
! tain side.
Captain Lamb is in receipt of letter
| from Congressman w y. Jones. warmly
congratulating him upon the fact that he
viii be chosen to succeed himself with
| out opposition in the convention
| Some OF the Republicans do not approve
| of the suggestion to make no nomination
| for Congress in this district but TO sup
| port some independent candidate who will
be in sympathy with the Administration.
| These people think q convention should
! be held and nomination regularly made
! It rests with the District Committee as to
| what shat Ibe done. The committee. of
| which Mr.. John L. Grubbs is chairman
! has had no meeting to discuss the matter
| TROUBLES OF THE TENTH.
| Some OF the Republican leaders here
! seem disposed to credit the report that
| Colonel r I. Hubbard Will be taken down
! as the nominee Of that party for Con-
gress in the Tenth District. and Hon. ia
! cob YoSt nominated in his stead.
| 1t is known that a very bitter fractional
| feeling prevailed among the leaders up
| there some time ago. and that Hon S.
| Brown Allen, Of Stanton, was in COM
| pete control OF the machine. which Was
| violently opposed to AIr. Yost-
But the Republicans have q very happy
| wav Of .burying the hatehet.' when par
! " success is in sight, and It would not
| be at all surprising if this has been done
| No one here could speak autao-itatiyeiy
concerning the matter yesterday. but
those approached expressed no great sur
| prise RI The suggestion
Mr. Yost was twice returned TO Con-
| gress from the district. defeating Hon.
| James BumSariner, Jr., Of Staunto1,
about twelve years ago. and winning over
f! State Senator Flood again in 1896. by q
very small majority The district has long
been classed as doubtful. and. on account
OF Mr.. Yost's ability and popularity. the
F! Democrats have always felt more coniden;
when he was not in the race.
| For some reason Senator Flood has neve:
! been able 10 enthuse the Democrats Of the
| valley side OF the district to u point which
| wnuld insure him their united support, and
! it is said that the conditions are not i'm
| proved over there this year
FAILED TO SEND DELEGATES
One of the rnagisterial districts ir
| Augusta county failed to hold precinct,
meetings To elect delegates after the with
drawal OF Judge Quarles from the race,
| ana this is taken az an evidence of sore
| ness on the part of the Congresm4n's
! friends at his defeat Another district in
the county instructed its delegates for Col
onel CatEe,t over Mr. Flood
The Democratic leaders II this city, who
| were seen on the subject of Mr.. Yost's
| nroblb,e candidacy Were disposed to taxa
| n gloomy view Of the situation should hs
he nut 10 in the place Of Colonel Hubbard
all seeming to recall the hard chases Mr.
| yost used TO give Hon. Harry Tucker FOL
| Congress and the fact that ne Was tstce
elected from the district
II Is said mat Senator Daniel has beer
| invited 10 speak in North Carolina next
week He IS at present without the State.
and will probably not return in time &c
comply with the request
