RICHMOND IN TIE FIELD.

foutical gossip mas 1t that Lieutenant
Governor Willard. Attorney-Gentral An
derson and Congressman Swanson are
preparing quietly to engage In the COM
ing contest Tor the Democratic nomina-
ton for the Governorship. 1t is said that
the 1!lends or the Hon. Allen Caperton
Braxton, of Augusta county, are just be-
ginning to advocate his name as that OF
a possible candidate for either that OF
tlce or the senatorship now held by the
Hon Thomas Martin.
II is uregd by Mr.. Braxtons friends
thar If Mr., Martin is thoroughly idenu-
fled before the people OF Virginia as a
..corporationtst,'' MIR Braxton is the
most conspicuous neutrality-suspicious.
in the state and. therefore, he should be
called upon TO oppose the Junior Sena-
for in the next campaign. We DO not
believe that any man in Virginia aspires
to be known as an "anti-corporauonlst,

on the face of It, has been merely to re-
strain powerful corporations from ex-

which Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Montague arc
expected to fight out, and with which
Mr. Braxton does not appear to be con-
cerncd. Indeed, unless he has had
marked change or heart. his record would
identity MIN with Mir. Martin rather
than against him. In the logic Of poll
tics it would seem that Mr.. Martin and
Mr. Montague should be LETT alone IN
INC contest Tor the senatorshlp.
me argument which Mr.. Braxton's
more prudent friends make, concerning
MS quanncauons Tor the Governorship'
a,,pears TO be a more tenable one. Their
princlpal claim is mat he is so widely
