DIR. A. Graham

Judge DrockenDrOuBn ana NUMBER oil the
most intelligent and influential democrats in
this county are warmly opposing DR.. Ora
hams election to the Board of Public Works,
on the ground that he is not personally quail
fed for the office. DIR. Graham is both perso
nally and politically one ofthe most unpopu
lar men in the county. His nomination for
the House OF Delegates, by a petty Caucus,
surprised the rural Democi acy.and scores of
them declared at once they would not vote for
him, because he wasn't fit to represent the
county, and they dd't like him any how, be-
cause he was always intriguing for some sell
fish purpose. 1t is admitted, on all hands,
that he would have been defeated most in
glorlousy. He will not get single Wing
vote in the county for the Board Of Public
Works, and he will fall largely behind the
Democratic voc. If the election turns, as it
should do, on the personal qualifications OF
the Candidates. Mr.. Price must be elected by
a large majority. Understand that Mr.. Fer
guson, of Logan, is using all his influence for
Mr.. Price, because he is infinitely better quail
flied Tor the office than Dr. Graham and be-
cause he regards it as of vital importance that
his section should have an able member of the
Board, to explain and maintain its rights and
interests. What has the Internal Improve

cations for the important Office to which he as
pires, will state that he warmly advocated

ment alike in violation of the charter of the
company,and of every dictate of Common sense
and sound policy, which obviously required
that the work should be begun at its connec-
ton with the James River Canal and finish
ed upa0ards as far as the funds of the company
would permit. DR.. Graham's tricky scheme,
which illustrates the character of the man, a
reused the Indignation of the county, and was
repudiated at a formal meeting of the stock
holders, believe, by a unanimous vote. 1t
had like, however, to have been fatal 10 the

management fthe entire system of Internal

that after the manner in which | have been
treated in the getting up OF the recent conven-

against those proceedings. That protest would

to you my qualification at the announcement
and my earnest hope and belief that you will

most important and delicate duties appertain
ing To the office in question. | shall ever most
cheerfully bear testimony TO the Catholic spir.
1t which actuaed you upon the subject of In
ternal improvements during our service in the
House OF Delegates, and to your energy inland
devotion to that cause by which you aided SO
in carrying throu gh the bills oflast
session. Had The people of your district wit
messed your course as | did, there could be no
doubt as to the result OF the pending election.
In this district the contest will be little doubt
full, as | understand that Price will receive
a very heavy vote in the counties west of this.
My impression is that in this county Graham
will beat Price by considerable majority.

disseminate widely the blessings of religion
and education, and convenient and handsome

they be annexed, it viii be expedient also to
