ing the wish of the families of Victoria

dorsed as follows:

cans with whom he had conference. The
well-known and well-earned reputation of
Gorham for political finesse and intrigue was
the means of investing these interviews with
I much significance in the minds of the
politicians of both parties. A leading
Democratic politician, who arrived from
Richmond to-day, says the belief in
political circles there is quite general that the
object of the interview was to secure the cleo
toral votes of Virginia for Grant. The Re-
adjusters have all announced very plainly
that they intend to run separate electoral
ticket in Virginia, and if this is done the
prospects for the election of regular Demo
cratic electoral ticket would naturally be
very slim. Nothing is more apparent here
than that the Grant movement in Virginia is
a great success, for included among those en-
gagged in it are several citizens of prominence
and influence
