To The Editors Of the Enquirer
congratulate you and the party on the trium-
phan, success OF Mr.. Lewis Z. Harvie in the
good old Republican county OF Amelia, notwith-
Sanding the difficulties with which he was sup
rossd to be surrounded. He has beaten his Wing
opponent a, every precinct in the county, and is
elected by handsome majority. This isa great
triumph for the party in Amelia. The Wings
will probably never again make another struggle
for this county.
This election demonstrates that the people OF
Amelia always true to the principles OF the par
,y do not need, and will mol wear the trammels
Of party, nor submit 10 dictation from any quar-
ter Looking TO The object Of party Organization,
they have been too wise 10 quarrel about Inc
modes OF party action. Gen. Dromgoole and Mr..
Co. also received considerable maloritles.

Marty here and The admiration of both.
