To ho Editor Of Tho National Republican;
SIR: This has been week Of excitement

contest, nominated Judge John Critchor for
congress.

after an all.nigh! session of speech making and
wrangling as tD who should receive the honor
of being put UP 10 he knocked down in No.
vcmber next You would have thought the
war WAS still going on had you boen present.
Shooting yankees" splendid confederate
record" etc, were ftyorite terms. Three
confederate soldiers were prominent rs caudi
dates. Judge George T. Garrison was finally
nominated. Daring the nominating speeches
it was asserted that that tried and true repub.
lcan Of Northampton, Peter j. Carter, would
support Judge Garrison if nominated But
those who know Peter Carter know he will
do no such thing, but Instead HIS recently
rendered his services to Mr. Woltz, our re.
publican nominee, to canvass the district for
him.@ The nominations OF this week could
not have been more satisfactory to US ropub.
Leans If we had had control of them
They insure Mr.. WUltzs election If the re-
publicans of the district support him. Essex
county, which bas respectable republican
majority, is us solid for Volt as she always
Is for the republican nominees
Judge Garrison's nomination has sourcd
tho friends Judge GOolrck andGenoral Bcale
and they cannot be relied upon to give the
nominee hearty support. Tho republicans
here cannot be induced to vote for any other
than the regular republican ticket
The man who fails 10 stand by his party
now, In this hour of her trial, need expect no
recognition in the future. 1t would be we'll
for the dolcctable bureau at Washington, and
its organ 10 shut up" and keep its nose out of
olr district affairs, as we mean to elect Colonel
Wolz to congress in spite of all opposition.
lie is very strong in this part of tho district
We regard him as tho trucst of all the tried
in our party ranks, and for that we mean to
stand by him and send him to congress- We
invite all the republicans of the district to help
us carry our ticket this fail, and when the
hour of trial comes we believe they will all b.
on hand doing theirduty. TAPPAHANNocK.
