IT is said strong pressure is being
brought to bear upon the President to Sc
cure his Endorsement of the Readjuster's
ticket in Virginia, which is generally sup
ported by the colored voters of the State.
The straight-out Republicans, who oppose
the fusion with Malone, will place anoth-
er ticket in the field, and claim to have the
moral support of the Administration.
THE appointment by Attorney Gen.
eral McVeagh Of Mr.. A. NJ. Gibson, former
~ Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun, to aid in securing evidence in the
Star-route investigations, is severely de-
nounced by the Capital, Brady's organ,
which calls President Garfeld's attention to
the fact that Gibson was foremost in charg-
ing upon Garfield, during the late campaign,
completely in the Credit Mobilier frauds.
A WASHINGTON dispatch of the LIST
says: The star route investigations have
reached point now, it is said, when the
legal machinery will very soon be put in
motion. To-day Col. VIM. A. Cook was
commissioned Special Assistant Attorney
General to take exclusive charge under the
Attorney General of the prosecution of these
cases in the courts. The new Grand Jury
will be drawn the 10th of this month, and
the criminal term begins the Goth inst. 1t is
said by those well informed that the Attor-
ney General and gentlemen specially charged
with the prosecution are entirely satisfied
with the evidence obtained, and have no
doubt indictment and conviction will follow.
THE Iowa State Greenback Conven-
tian, held at Marshalltown, nominated the
following ticket: For Governor, D. M.
Clark, of Wayne County; for Lieutenant
Governor, James M. Holland, of Henry
County; for Supreme Judge, A. D. Dabney,
of Madison County; for Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, Mrs. Mary E. Nash, of
Des Moines. A spirited protest went from
the minority on the last nomination, and the
convention was admonished by legal dele
gates present that the lady, if elected, would
be prevented under the State law from full
filling the duties of that office. The majori-
ty, however, declared they would nominate
her il all the laws in Christendom prevented
her election.
THE Virginia Readjusters' Conven-
tion, after a long and exciting contest over
candidates, nominated William E. Cameron
for Governor. Gen. Malone positively de-
clined to run, and Riddleberger, who re-
ceived few votes on one ballot, requested
that his name be withdrawn. Col. Came
ron Is 40 years Of age; was Adjutant- General
in Mahone's brigade during the war;
afterward entered into politics and became
editor Of the Petersburg appeal, one of the
incidents of his editorial life being duel
fought with Robert w. Hughes, editor of
the Republican paper, the State Journal, in
which Cameron was shot through the abdo-
men. He cut loose from the regular Demo-
Gratis in 1877, when Malone was defeated in
obtaining the nomination for Governor.
The second place on the ticket was given to
John F. Lewis, who, in a speech accepting
the nomination for Lieutenant Governor,
said he had been Union man, was now a
Republican, and was proud to say he was
also Readjuster.
