The Republican Executive Committee for
this congressional district, OF which Captain
John +. Wilson, the city postmaster, Is
chairman, has not yet issued any call for
q District Convention, and learn tnat it is
likely that no such call will be issued and
no Republican candidate nominated for
Congress. This is significant and seems TO
indicate that in districts in which the
whites have a majority the Radicals will
support the Readjusters' candidates, as in
those in which the blacks are most nu-
merous the Readiusters will support the
Radical nominees.
A large and enthusiastic meeting OF the
Young Democrats OF the city was held at
PAGES warehouse lat night, and a Young
Mems Hancock and English Campaign
Club organized. Colonel A. III. Leitwich
was made president Of the Club Vice-Pre-
sidents. Il. n. Williams, Colonel Kirk
Otey, and John II. Christian; and G. G.
Glass, Secretary. Speeches were made by
Colonel Leftwich, Major Daniel, and Mr..
Page Morris. Great enthusiasm prevailed.
Or. Ruffner did not leave for Lexington
until Yesterday afternoon, and is to return

duced to the colored Normal Institute Pro-
lessor Campbell, Of Washington and Lee
University, who delivered a short and en-
couraging address. The Institute was also
NV cE
OF the white schools, on technical subjects.
The Street Committee OF the Council has
been given authority by the latter body to
arrange with the Street Railway Company
with reference to the right OF way along the
streets and to draw up all requisite papers,
contracts, DC.
Fuller particulars OF the accident at Sa-
lem state that the runaway was caused by
the horses taking fright at a train OF cars,
aud that the injuries OF Miss Gamble, Of
Florida, are the most serious. The other
two ladies, Mrs. Allen Watts, OF Roanoke,
and Mrs. Latrobe, OF Baltimore, were badly
but no: seriously hurt. Mr.. George w.
Morris, of Charlottesville, their companion
in the phaeton, was knocked senseess by
the accident, but will probably recover.
General Weaver, the Greenback candi-
date for President OF the United States,
passed through the city yesterday return
ing North from his missionary trip 10 Ala
bama.

| The Republicans have at last made a
| movement IN the direction OF organization
| for the campaign. A number Of the Fed.
eral office-hodcrs OF that party have rented
hall on Main street for use during the
presidential canvass. A Garfield and Ar.
thur Campaign Club has been organized,
though for some reasons the names OF the
officers OF the same are withheld from the
public. There is reported TO be quite a
difference Of opinion among the Radicals as
TO the policy OF making q nomination for
Congress In the district. Captain ]. Fl.
Rives, internal-revenue collector, favors q
strict party nomination, hoping to be the
favored man; and SO does one c. r. Jones,
