The Eighth Congressional District.
FAUQUIER Co., Va. March 30.-PoIit cs
are looming up in old Fauqucr, and the chance
of the successful winner for the Eighth Con

discussed. No sane man can predict at tbis

said the county will vote for Gen. Hunton. 1t
is net known whether he is the seventh son OF

prophecy, but the assured ASSERTION Vi events
so hid 10 the dim future makes macy untnlakl1G
people believe it, though the same prophet haS
often been wrong. | teel assured that if a t4i.
election is held II this county that in no con.
ceivable case can this country be- carr ID
solid for the present incumbent. Il WI b
split between Gen. Huuton and MIR. Brooke.
Should Mr. Brooke ruo he could carry the iaa-
ority of the delegates, for he is personally
day very popular in this section. Next to
him Mr. Nealc has the most strength, and he
is gaining ground daily. Certainly no man can
hope Of success unless his owo home delegation
is staunchly and solidly for him. 1t ought to
be conceded that the Piedmont section should
have the Congressional honors. The Valley have
the Governor, and they ought not to insist Oh
national representative. The great Valley CAD
we'll afford to be generous and cast her vote lor
the man who can fltest represent this section.
