GovEKNOR'S PATRONAGE. ~.
Governor-elect Montague will not have
much patronage to distribute when he
goes i,to his new office on January lst-
one of the best positions at his ols-
+ posal is that of Adjutant-General. When
Governor Tyler came into Office he APP
pointed the incumbent, General William
Nalle. of Culpepsr, who was then in COM
mand of the Third Regiment. His .fraends
will back him for reappolntment. Wheth-
known.
The new Governor will, it is generally
believed. appoint Mr.. d. A. Richie, his
private secretary. Mr.. Ritchie has peeh
his secretary in the office of Attorney
General for nearly four years and has
served faithfully and efficiently
There will he u lively contest over the
Office of Labor Commissioner. Mr.. JAS
+. Doherty has made d splendid record
in the office and he has a powerful back
ing for the place. He also enjoys the
advantage of being the chairman OF the
City Democratic Committee of Richmond
Mr.. W II. Mullen. who was an original
Montague man. has influential support
and so has Mr.. r. r. Nuckols, an old
M No 1li 10
people
The Governor has also the appointment
of the Commissioner of Agriculture
When Governor Tyler came into Office he
appointed Mr.. G. w. INciner to succeed
The late Colonel Thomas Whitehead VINO
had filled the place with great satis-
faction to the farmers for many years
Mr.. lloiner has made a good ofticer ana
IS, of course. a candidate for Teappoiht-
rlent So far as is now known, he has
no opposition.
The Governor will also name ply
sician to the penitentiary. three members
OF the Board of Directors of that. lnsti-
tuition. and a State Board OF flsherles.
lie will also name an executive clerk
to succeed Major S. Heth Tyler, who
will, on January list, locate IN Norlolh
city to practice law.
LEADERS ARE GRATIFIED.
CHAIRMAN titNSOl1 was All SIiiiifS NSS-
te,Siay over the result of the election lie
said the campaign had been a very trying
one and while he never anticipated any
thing like defeat for a moment, yet the
result was fully up to his expectations,
and he felt very- much sratified at the
size OF Mr.. Montague,s majority. MI
Iilyson had 40 very recent Information
save a telegram announcing Captain
Parks certain defeat. at which he ex-
pressed deep regret, He also lamented
the probable defeat Of Colonel Catlett and
other Democratic leaders for the Legis-
lature.
The popular chairman did not care to
make figures as to the exact standing of
the Legislature but he was sure the
Democrats would besin overwhelming con-
troll OF both branches.
Governor Tyler was in his Office, having
returned from his home in Pulaski Tues
day night. He was as happy as 4 school
boy and was, especially jublant over the
result in the Southwest.
Chairman Doherty. of the City Com
lnittee was feeling in fine shape
and he was warmly congratu lated upon
his splendid fight here. Mr.. Doherty
called the turn on the city fight at !
o'clock Tuesday, when he predicted that
the city would give Mr.. Montague $500
majority.
There was little interest felt here in the
fights out side of Virginia, save in Mary
land and New York city. All the lead
ers wanted German to win the Legisla-
ture: and as to New York, sentiment was
divided, many anti-machine Democrats
believing that Lows election would tend
to purify matters in New York city.
