CONGRESSMAN PAUL.
a CoIored Republican in Defense of the
Able VIrginIan.

To the Editor OF THE REPuBLIcAN:
In the argus Of May 6, a paper published at
Woodstock, Va, was an unjust and uncalled for
insult to the dignity Of Hon. John Paul, member
Of Congress from the Seventh Virginia District.
The prediction Is untrue, and shows that the au
thor of the article does not know the sentiment OF
the people of the Valley. We, the constituents Of
Mr. Paul, are well satisfied with the manner our
Representative has borne himself and represented
us, and We will on the 7th Of November next
further show our appreciation by returning him
10 Congress We cannot see how some cOlored men
can care So little for the welfare of their that
they attempt to create opposition to the great Lib
eral movement IN our State II Is the fist time we
have been given an opportunity to help OuIselvcs
and shall we ignore aud oppose the brave leaders
Of this revolution simply because personal ambi-
ton is not gratifed? The benefit 10 the race is of
vastly more importance than the satisfaction OF
any one individual
The ATgls can i'll afford to antagonize the cham
pion of our choice for we are as unit for him, be-
cause he has been true and faithful to the trust as
signed him,
Ills record Is clear, and his close attention to the
welfare Of his entire constituency is why we will
not permit him TO be insulted in his high place.
The great tidal wave of reform which swept
John T. Harris into political silence and landed
Captain Paul in Congress has not ceased to roll,
and will next fall wreck all trail barks Of oppo.

WILL the Republican boilers of PENN

of the removal of Sullivan, collector Of
the Allegheny internal revenue collec-
tion district of that State, and the ap-
pointment of Jackson in his place, please
Inform wondering world why it was
treason last year to oppose the removal
of Collector Merritt, of New York, during
his term, and the appointment of
Robertson in his place "to promote
political ends?" OF course they will not,

COLONEL D. B. HENDERSON.
YYhnt IL Said OF the New Secretary OF tI'
CONGREGATIONAL Committee.

Colonel d. b. Henderson was last Friday unani
mously chosen secretary of the Republican Con.
gressonal Committee. We consider this one Of
the highest honors that could possibly be paid 10
the great merits OF the eloquent Henderson.
When we take into consideration that the party is
primarily handled by this committee and State
organizations affected throughout the whole
country by its work, we can see the magnitude of
Colonel Henderson's labors MS secretary. These
who know the grand old veteran best claim there
country than d. b. Henderson, therefore this
unanimous choice by the best minds Of the party.
There Is yet another point by this choice which
we believe will result in more harmony TO the
Republican party than 1t hns had in its ranks for
several years. lii the struggle for the presidential
nomination at Chicago in 1880, Colonel Henderson
was an ardent Blaine man, and made many sharp
reorts to the speeches uttered by General Grants
friends. The gentleman Mt that time gained more
favorable notoricty 10y the statesmen present than
ever before. They found in him most persistent
and indefatigable worker, with keenness of in
sight into men and parties second to 10 man,
they realized that with such u man to work for
The whole party and not for Il section thereof,
there stood good show for perfect harmony in
our ranks in the near future. The congressional
committee are right in their reasonings. There
will be no falterng on Colonel Hendersons part.
The new secretary's mind is of that mold which
realizes 1t is the party as whole that must be
taken care of and brought triumphantly out of u
campaign and not any one assumed boss or frag-
ment of the party. With him i'll the position
named there will be no Blaine, no Grant, no
Arthur, no Logan, no Davis, but the great Repub.
lican household to plan for, and this, in Our
this responsible POSITION UduerIy (Ioga) Repub-

He stands as well now as he can then, and he is

which 1t is charged, and which is growing every
