AN OLD CAMPAIGN RECALLED.
The Bitterness in Virginia Reflects
the Situation in 1877.


RICHMOND, Va, June 3.-Each sec
ton Of the State seems TO be divided as
10 the most available, or, rather the most
acceptable man, to receive the Democrat
ic nomination for Governor of Virginia,
and the campaign promises to eliminate
in one OF the greatest surprises Virginia
has seen for many years The present
contest has served to call to mind the Gel
ebTated campaign of 1871, when Holiday
was named for Governor. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the FOUR candidates now
in the race. are good Democrats, they are
making fights similar to those made by
the candidates in 1871
IN comparing the Virginia campaigns.
II might be said, that the feeling between
the supporters OF Montague and Swanson
is as bitter as il was between Malone
and Daniel in the ante-conyention cam
paign of 1871 When the Republican con-
vention met, Malone realized that he
could not win, and threw his votes to
Holiday, who entered the convention,
with less delegates than any other aspi-
rant Holiday was nominated and elect
ed over Daniel, the Democratic nominee.
