RICHMOND. VA. July 23.-With
In the last fortnight. great deal
of briskness has been injected
into the fight for the speakership of
the House, and from now on. as nom.
nations for the Legislature are made.
interest in tho contest will increase
rather than lessen.
Three strong candidates have dc.
clarcd themselves as nspirants for
the honors-R. IL. Byrd. of Winchcs
ter; John w. Churchman, of Augusta,
and Robert w. Withcrs, of Nansc-
mond.
Tho friends of this trio already
have begun To work hard. and Incl
dontally they are all claiming victory
for their respective favoritcs. Mr..
Byrd's lieutcnants seem peculiarly
confident, and they say that their
predictions as to the success OF the
Winchester man, are based on actual
figures and not on guesswork
Here is the way one of Mr.. Byrd's
friends expresses himself:
Il am in close touch with the stua-
ton, and of the thirty-cight nomina.
lions. that am informed have been
made up to this time. twenty seven
will certainly be for Byrd. OF those
not yet nominated. but who will GER
tainly be nominated. twenty one be-
yond any pcradventurc, will vote for
Byrd-nlaking Il total of forty-eight.
There were oightyeight Demo
Gratis in the last House. and. assum-
ing that there will be ciGhty-eight in
the next House. it will only require
forty-iive To nominate; thus II will 20
socn that Byrd has already more than
the number required TO nominate.
This leaves forty votes not con-
sidercd in the foregoing calculation.
In many of these legislative districts.
there are several candidates for tie
nomination. and it is impossible yet
to say who will be nominated. but |
have sufficient reason for predicting
that at least ten of this number will
