Richmond, Va, Nov. . sreciaD.-The following
circular was issued to-day from this city, 1t was
approved by Colonel J. d. Brady. member OF the
National Republican Committee:
The Executive Committee OF the Republican
party OF Virginia, assembled at Richmond, Virginia
November 1, 1888, has resolved this address
congratulsting you upon the bright prospects of the
Republican party Of Virginia. calling your attention
TO the fact that for the first time In its history all
the elements OF the party in this State working
for our common cause, counseng continuance Of
the spirit OF fortearance and scsacrfce which has
rendered II possible to carry Virginia for the Repnb
llcan candidates In the present campaign We remind
you that at this time there is but Republican
electoral ticket in the field, that the
Of our organization all Withdrawn, and that our
followers are earnestly and unselfshly bending their
whole energies to the support and election Of Hart
son and Morton. At first the disposition of some
Of our friends was to critcise for what they called
the surrender Of their rights, but wore then con-
WINGED that those in opposition to our organization
were In no spirit Of compromise, that they rech
lessly determined upon policy OF rule or ruin
and that the only chance of Republican unity by
our yielding to them In this contest and leaving them
excuse for frering away the vote of this
State and its representation in Congress in local bros
and discussions The united strength Of party in
Virginia to-day, giving assurance Of securing the cleo
toral vote of this State for Harrison and Morton arises
chiefly from the course which your committee has
pursued In counselng the sacrifices abov toned
and from the sensible, jealous adoption Of their ad
vice by the Republican masses
Tho election is now close upon us. Upon its re-
suits depend much that is vital the interests OF
all the people Of our Commonwealth that 1t is I'M
necessary TO dwell upon that theme. Republican
success In Virginia is success and represents the
fruits OF our forbearance and love Of party. We
counsel and urge every Republican in this State TO
get until after the Presidential election all local diff
fercnces or jealouses and to unite with their Repub
lcan brethren in seeing that not vote for Harrison
and Morton is lost in this State by indifference jea
ousy or the bad feeling which has been engendered
between Republicans by causes which we need not
discuss. In this National election these matters
should be laid aside and forgotten Our people may
be assured that the time for the redress of these grev
ances is near at hand when they may be remedied and
recurrence prevented without doing injury our
friends beyond the limits Of the State.
1t Is source of deep regret to that the discord
between rival Republican candidates for Congress IN
the Petersburg District mars the general harmony Of
our party throughout the state. As we had no share
In originating that unfortunate controversy,
equally powerless 10 put II at rest, since the two
contestants have AFFILIATED with our organza-
ton. We feel confident Of victory.
