Hon. John Randolph Tucker, member
of Congress from Virginia, was in Gin
cinnati one day last week, and in CONVEX
sation, according to the Commercial, re-
marked that the democracy of Virginia
were conservative in sentiment, and
many yof the best men of the partyas vel as
some of the leading newspapers, gave
President Hayes credit for his concilia-
tory policy toward the South. Some of
the appointments tmade in Virginia
notably that of Col. D, G. Potts as post
master of Petersburg gave the conserva-
tive people of both parties much salts
faction, though it displeased the. .republi-
can Office seekers. Mr. Tucker did not
think, however, the policy of President
Hayes would disatfect the conservative
party of the South, and he did not believe
MI. Hayes expected it would. Speaking
of politics in the State, he said that a
sharp contest was going on among the
conservatives for a candidate for Govern
or. The convention meets on the 9Th of
August and Fitz Lee, Gen. Malone, Col.
Holiday, Gen. Taliaferro, Major Daniel
and others are candidates for the nomi-
nation. The choice, Mr.. Tucker thought
would probably fall upon either Major
Daniel or Gen. Malone. Mr.. Tucker had
no doubt of the success of the democracy
in Virginia. The republicans were dis
organized, and there was a division of
sentiment regarding President Hayes
and his administration.
