PERSONALLY The Washington Re-
publican states that Mr.. G. w. Butts OF
the Norfolk press, is at the National
Hotel in that city. The correspondent
of the New York Herald telegraphs on
Thursday night, that Mr.. G.. w. Butts, |
the present nominee of n of the wings |
of the administration party from the
| Congressional district of Norfolk, Va,
arrived ip town this morning, and had
an interview with the President. 1T IS
authoritatively stated since his arrival
that he has decided to withdraw from
the with a published call to his
adherents to give their support to Il. II:
Chandler, who was also put in the field
as an independent candidate by friends
, of the same political faith. Mr.. Butts
believes that by offering two names for
the support Of the administration party
in that district, the election of the andl-
date of the opposition would thereby be
insured. Hence he takes the initiative
i'm Withdrawing from the contest and
counselling a general consolidation or
strength upon the election OF Mr.:
: Chandler" Had Mr.. Butts remained
: in the field he would, his friends think,

n debater and no doubt would have risen
In Congress. We believe he is o Vir'
: ginian. while Mr.. Chandler, in whose
Behalf lie "yields the 1oor," Is a Massa
chusetts man.
