Among the distinguished Republicans of Vir-
ginia who did good service for the Republican
cause in the late election, there is none who
contributed more time and energy than Hon
Frank S. Blair, of Wytheville, Va.
He took certain sections Of The State as his
field of labor and cangassed them closely and
successfully.
Capt. Blair was one Of the Electors for the
State at large and ahead of his tick ct in the
State. AS is we'll known, he has served the
State of Virginia as her Attorney General fol
four years with great credit to himself and 10
his constituents, having been twice nominated
unanimously in two large Republican State
Convention for that position.
He is one of the best equipped lawyers in the
State and now enjoys very large and lucra-
tive law practice. He has bee hearty sup
porter of Republicanism from the liberal move
ment in Virginia. and has made q personal can
vass OF the entire State as often as three times
for the Republi can cause, and was honored al
Chicago, in 1884, by the entire Virginia delega-
ton, with the position of Virginia member Of
the National Republican Committee of which
he made an industrious and valuable member
we do not doubt but that Capt BIair's talen,
and energy will be called into reauisition by
the in coming Republican National Admins.
