THE THIRD VIRGINIA DISTRICT.
1t is to be feared from recent develop
ments that the unfortunate differences in
the Republican party in Richmond, Va,
regarding the nominee for Congress from
that district, cannot be settled on any basis
of honorable compromise satisfactory to
both parties. AS we have repeatedly ex-
planned, Mr.. Burgess, the regular nominee,
very patiently submitted his case to two
different conventions, to the decision of
the State executive committee, and to the
arbitration of the Congressional executive
committee. In each of these appeals to
superior authority Mr.. Burgess was sue
eOsfully sustained. Subsequently, at the
suggestion OF Judge Edmunds, secretary
and executive officer Of the last mentioned
committee, the matter was referred TO q
joint meeting or conference of the two
Congressional committees of the district
and leading members Of the party. Pend
ing this meeting or conference, Judge Ed
munds dispatched the following telegram
to the parties interested:
"Adhering to my former decision that Rush
Burgess is the regular nominee of the party in
your district, my suggestion for . conference
was with view to additional strength. II the
conference decides upon adhering to the nomi-
nation, we viii look on your action as correct,
and give Burgess our unqualified support"
The conference assembled yesterday, and
as the following dispatch explains, Mr..
Burgess claims for recognition as theregu-
lar candidate were again established and
suthoritatively sustained:
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 19.-The conference
of the committees and leading Republicans of
this Congressional district Endorsed Hon. Rush
Burgess IS the regular candidate. Smith re-
fused to submit any proposition, and his friends
withdrew from the conference.
