The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-10-15

The Republican Executive Committee OF
the Third congressional district have COM
menced to work in earnest for the Republi.
can candidate for Congress in this district,
III. l.. Pelouze, and have determined 10
make q vigorous and active canvass, hoping
thereby to win in the coming election. A
large number OF handbilIs have Just been
published, and will be distributed all over
the district, urging the Republican voters
TO stand by and support the straigbt.out
Republican candidate and "not support
either Of the Democratic candidates for
Congress In this district, when both OF
them advocate the election of Hancock to
the presidency" These handbills were
received at the cons6fttee-rooDs, on
Bank street, yesterday, and will be
sent out under the special directions
Of Arthur A. SpilZer, secretary OF
the Republican Stale Executive Com
mittee, member OF the Congressional
Committee. and a warm supporter of
PeIouze. The leaders OF the stralght.out
Republican party in this district claim that
the result OF the Ohio and Indiana elections
will be the means Of bringing together the
Republicans in this district, and cause
them to unite almost solidly upon the Re-
publican candidate. Whether this will he
done or not awaits to be seen. Suffice it to
say, however, tie friends OF the Readjuster
candidate for Congress are not at all pleased
with the present condition OF things.
The Republican State Executive Commit
tee, which met Wednesday and adjourned
subject TO the call OF the chairman, General
Wickham, will meet again next week, pro-
badly Monday, 10 make the necessary ar
raDgements for conducting the Republican
canvass throughout the State. The State
Central Committee, which Is composed OF
some Malone Republicans, but not ma.
iority, have referred all questions OF any inn
portance and interest TO the State Executive
Committee, which is composed OF straight
out Republicans.
General Wlckbam left the city for New
York Immediately after the Executive Com
mittee adjourned Wednesday, and IT ia gen.
orally believed that he has gone there to
make arrangements for conducting yig0r-
Gus campaign IN Virginia.
The Executive Committee confidently be-
lieve that with two Hancock and English
electoral tickets in the field Garfield and
Arthur can carry Virginia in the presiden-
tial contest, and they are working accord
ingly.
The Republican politicians who but few
days ago vigorously protested against rum
ming PelouZe for Congress in opposition
particularly TO the Readiuster candidate are
Just now at loss to know whether 1t would
be best for them to support the Readiuster
candidate or not. They are under the i'm
preston that Garfield Will be the next Pre-
sident, and II such thing comes to pass
the Government Offices will be in the hands
OF The Republicans. Therefore, as maiori-
ty OF these ReS0iuster Republicans have an
eye to fat Government position, they have
suddenly been led to think that their chances
for Government Job will be more favorable
il they support Pelouze, even il he fails
TO be elected, than il they support man
" who favors the election Of Hancock and
English" in opposition to one who not
only is warm supporter OF the hero OF
tysburg, but true and tried Democrat.
The Republican ReSdiusters who are
after Government positiOns-in this district
especialy-and are 80 desirous to serve
their country in some Government office,
be that office ever so humble, are at present
truly In quandary.
