The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1903-06-22
By Jos: Oil,


talking about the remarkable unanimity
with which Senator John Daniel has
been nominated by the democrats of
Virginia to succeed himself, says:
The nomination of Senator Daniel to
the senate, which has just occurred, is a
very high compliment to, the senior SEN
ator from Virginia, as ii was done with
out the slightest opposition. Some months
ago there was some talk of opposing
Senator Daniel, but when those who
were ambitious to have his place began
to look around and to make his can
vass, they found him entirely too strong
TO tackle. so they promptly got out OF
the way. 1T Is my opinion that the same
state Of affairs will exist when Senator
Thomas S. Martin comes up for reelec-
ton two years from now. At present
there are two candidates in the field
against him, Governor Montague and
State Senator Braxton, but Senator Mar
Tins strength is growing SO rapidly | am
confident that when the time comes no
one will have the forttude to oppose
him
Senators Daniel and Martin are the
closest personal friends, maintaining III
same perfect harmony that marks the
relations of the two senators from Geor-
gia 1t is not always the case with
the senators from a state, even where
both belong to the same political party
The character of harmony" that oh
.tains between Senator'S Hanna and For
aker. for instance and between Senators
Fairbanks and Beverage, OF Indiana,
is 10y no means that preached i'll the
Sunday school books. But Senator
Daniel and Senator Martin work to-
eether perfectly.
The two men differ in many ways. Sen
ator Daniel is essentially an orator
while Senator Martin has never made
a speech since coming to Washington.
Senator Daniel is not close attendant
upon the senate sessions but Senator
Martin is always there unless engaged
in committee work; even then he is
within call of any Nirginian who seeks
his aid or advice Senator Martin IS
power in the work of the committees,
looking after the material interests not
only Of his state in particularly, but OF
the south in general. He is very val
liable man in the senate: and While ne
aas always had opposition. those most
familiar with political conditions IN
Virginia indorse the prediction of Con-
