Mr.. John H. Trimyer of this city, whose
candidacy for the democratic nomination

and county in the state legislature has been
held somewhat in allegiance for the past
few weeks. stated this morning that he
had finally decided to remain in the race.
He will conduct an active canvass both in
the county and city from now until the
date of the primary. Mr.. James r. Cation
of this city, the present delegate, who has
been urged by many of his friends to be-
come a candidate for reelection, has re-
fused to oppose Mr. Trimyer. In a former
contest for this Office Mr.. Trimyer with
drew in the interest of Mr.. Cation, and
strong pressure was recently brought to
bear upon him by several political leaders
of Alexandria to induce him to DO the same
thing this time. Mr. Cation, who repeat
eddy declared that he did not desire the
nomination, informed his friends who were
urging him to become a candidate that he
would not consider the proposition If Mr..
Trimyer decided to remain in the field.
AS the matter now stands the contest lies
between Mr. Trimyer and Mr.. George E.
Boteler of the county. The nomination
will probably be decided when the state
primary is held in August. The arrange
ments for the date and regulations of the
voting will be determined by the demo-
cratic committees for the county and city,

in a short time.
