WASHINGTON, ID. G.. july 24.-EX-Con-
gresham DeZenGorf, who is now in Wash
mgton. has written the following emphatic
letter. accepting the craftsmanship Of the
Virginia Republican state Central Com
mittee:
To James ". DOMAIN. Esq, Secretary Of
The State Central Committee Of the Re
publican Portyof Virginia, Richmond;
My Dear Sir.-I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt OF your commu-
nication OF Che Goth instant, notifying me
of my election o. chairman of the State
Central Committee oi the Republican
party OF Virginia ciCe j. W. Cochran, re-
signed. and also copy OF the Dispatch
containing the resolutions adopted by the
committee. ! accept the craftsmanship
with full knowledge OF all the difficulties
surrounding the party in Virginia. and
with the earnest determination to meet and
overcome them. Let the Republican
party OF Virginia inscribc "ReSur-
gQln" on It's banner. and boldly
meet the usurper, who, without the
courage TO ADOPT its name, seeks to use it,
members to aid him in bunding up party
t. be used TO advance his personal ends.
remember that they are a part and parcel
Of the grand national party that has for n
quarter OF a century controlled the desti-
nics Of this country. and then let them say
whether they are willing TO abandon their
interest in that party to amalgamate with
one which has no national existence, and
which. without the aid given it by those
who have abandoned the Republican

be almost unknown even in Virginia. Let
the Republicans OF Virginia stop and view
the situation. They will see every leading
Republican sacrificed; nearly every Re-
publican otlice-holder who voted and
worked for the election OF Garfield and
Arthur removed, and Democratic Reid
iustels, or so-called Republicans, who
turned traitors and supported Hancock
and English, put i'm their places;
they will see the power OF the Republican
voters used at the balOt-bOX to obtain the
repeal Of obnoxious laws. and the credit OF
the same claimed fora and given to the Read
busters: they will see one man (MahOne) a
political boss, to whom every knee must
bend. and by whose edicts the destiny OF
great and powerful State il governed and
controlled: they will see public Office made
lie money paid for labor never performed;
they will see bribery and corruption in
the halls Of legislation. and the elective
franchise, 30 far from being free ballot
and fair count, publicly bought with pro-
misses Of Office or money paid in hand 10
so-called leaders; they will see state ana
municipal offices multiplied in order to
provide easy places at public CRIBS Tor rel
atiycs OF the powers that be; they WIN see
120.000 Republican voters made NubSer-
Went tools OF the Boss and his 10000 Dem
ocratic followers; who till all offices, draw
their pay with becoming regularity, and
never fail to vote the Democratic ticket IN
every presidential election; they Will see
the time fast approaching when the MEM
| bers Of the General Assembly OF the
! State must be chosen, which General
Assembly will reappOrtion the state into
congressional districts; they will see the
/ National Republican Convention to noml-
nate q President less than one year OF, ana
they will appreciate the importance OF be-
| I'M represented in those bodies by Repub-
licans. They will see all these things and
more. and seeing them, let lis nope that
| their love OF party and it. principles, and
| their knowledge Of their power in the SUI
perlorty OF their numbers, VIII lead
them TO assert their manhood, throw
oft the yoke which the so-called
coalition has placed upon them, and
to array themselves once more beside the
proud old banner under which freedom
was first declared to the nation.
shall take prompt, aud | trust effective,
measures Tor the thorough organization OF
the party on such basis as will harmonic
conflicting elements within our ranks and
draw TO it all who are willing to boldly
ayow themselves as in full sympathy with
lis principles, and are not ashamed to adopt
| its name, which has FOR twenty years ana
more been honored by a majority OF the
voters in the United states.
| am. sir, very truly yours,
JOHN f.. DEZENDoRY,
Chairman State Central Committee OF the
Republican party Of Virginia.
