IL Is due TO Judges peterborough Daniel Green. Sc

they were not brought forward the Caucus

their Office Judget is due also Mr. Holt Speaker
o, the Senate and late Eecor to state. that with gene
osiy not very usual such occasions lie waived his
own pretensons and was the first to nominate GEORGE

1t is due 10 the Delegate from Fairfax. who does M,
belong TO the Jackson party not attend the Caucus
to lay the following note before the Public Ii was adj

the meeting, but was Inadvertently omitted:
| ~, RICHMOND, March 10Th, 1892.
To The Chairman Of the Jackson Caucus:
SIR:-l have received a communication from lead
ing member of the Jackson party the county of Fair
lax, requesting me TO the Legislative eau
G%' h ne unanimous preference Of the party that county
United States The sentiments of the party in relation 10
the nomination of Vice President, have been ascer-
tanned This matter is therefore left to the wisdom and
dscreuon OF the Caucus. beg leave propose the gen.
enen whose nanes'aPpcar below, suitable persons
form Corresponding Committee for the County of Fair
lax And remain, respectfully, sc.
SPENCER Nj. BALL
one further explanation is at this time to the public
-Mcssrs Drongoole and Brown frankly stated 10 the
meeting why they did press their proposition in favor
OF Delegates to the Baltimore Convention In addition TO
their remarks, we have TO conviction that if such
question had been put, it would have been carried-bu
IL was not pressed by many gentlemen from respect t
.he feelings oil those who had not made up their minds
satisfactorily upon the subject, who did know the
wishes OF their constituents They said that the people
mad not In general expressed their wishes upon it
that they had not probably considered and that if the
people shond hereafter incline such mode of nomina
uon' they had 1t in their power in their primary
capacity, and to send Delegates for hemselvcst,t he
were already moving in the natter was apparent from
the meetings, that were getting up, in the counties of
Washington, Russell and Jeferson"-I was urged also
that the Opposition DESTROYS of having such measure
adopted that they might make handle and Glamour of
against the Jackson party and foment divisions and jar
ahohS our OWL In spirit OF unanmity, there
ore the idea was given upand the question of sending
Delegates to Baltimore turned over TO the people,
The slang of the distant Opposition Editors is as rdicu-
lous as II Is false. Those with whom politically
associated upon this OCCASION not the slightest idea Of
nominating Mr.. Van Buren, They discamed all in
tentions OF specific nomination of any person-be the
person who he might-whether Barbour, Van Buren,,
or any other They wished TO with the great Re-
publican paryto consult with them on their common
interestsand not TO throw away the vote of VIRGINIA
norto throw the election into the Senate of the u States
The friends OF the Opposition precisely for diff
terent course. They wished the Jackson men TO nomi-
nate Mr. Barbour that party might be divided that
The vote OF Virginia might be ultimately lost and that
John Sergeant might be elected by the Senate As po-
cans therefore, they mortified the resultfor the
same reason that reoiced 1.-THE selection Of
the " President is left in the hands the Electors
one oil the modes OF appointment which we have uniform
y preferred-As to the Baltimore Convention il is sill
I'm the power OF the people TO send Delegates instructed
as those Delegates might be, in the manner so wisely re-
commended by the citizens Of the of Russel-We
can truly say that never has any completely
disappointed and damped the opponents Of the Administers
ton, as the results OF the late Caucus-Never have its
friends been more triumphant, animated by success
more resolved on IFS support. We reoice this result as
much as any man-a the time, do full Justice TO
the honest opinions Of those friends Of Jackson who wish
ed to run Barbour on the ticket with him.
The assertion OF the N. Y Evening Journal Ell id on,ns
genus, 'that the object in getting up the Caucus was
toprocure nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, for the vice
Presidency'-we pronounce TO be tohOLy and unguaf.
ediy false.
