b. In reference to the next representative in

Iader says that ''tbe man who can bring the

Hon. John S. Barbour He is man of
kindly sympathes, as well as great public
spirit. His influence in Congress increases
with the time of his public service and to-
day few members the national Assembly of
either party is held in higher esteem. Two
years ago he was pressed into political ser
vice against his wishes. His record in Con-
gress having satisfied his constituents, he
has no hestancy IA to his duty in the prem
ises now, and will cheerfully accept the
nomination a second time. Because the
democracy Of Virginia at this juncture needs
the popularity and influence Of Mr.. Barbour,
we hopeit will be the pleasure of the Alexan-
dria convention to give him unanimous
nomination. Precedent in this district
points to him as its nominee"
