VIRGINIA POLITICS. /
WASHINGTON, D. G., June 1.-The Virgins
Republicans arc becoming thoroughly frightened
at tho compaotness Of tho Conservative or OPP
position organization In that State. The Ad-
ministration organ Is driving tho campaign from

nation depended upon its exorttonu. II has sug-
gosted tho nomination Of George E. Donea1,
native OF tho atato, for Governor, by tho LYNCH
burg Convention and has othor1Fise intorfered

larly those who follow the lead Of Senator Lewis.

tho Lynohburg Convention is retained by tho
proaont Washington influences. The material
laws and other informal improvements
seem to bo ovorBhadowod by tho fear that the
State may be reduced to tile financial dogra-
dation which prevails in South Caro1ina, owing
