TIE RICHMOND DIsTRICT.-The Conserva.
tive Convention in the Metropolitan district
followed the unmistakable wishes Of the
people in renominating Ex-Governor Wal
ker for Congress. The hold which Gilbert G..
Walker secured in the popular heart while
Governor OF Virginia has not been loosened
by his action in the national councils; and
this evidence OF the continued confidence
Of his immediate constituents is but an ex-
preston of the sentiment Of the great mass
Of Conservatives throughout the State. We
congratulate both the party and the candi-

predict such victory in the district as will
