REPUBLICANS DAY.
AT NOON THEIR CONVENTION MEETS AT
HEERICO cOURT-H0UsE.
They Will Nominate Congressman. Senator,
and Member Of the House OF
Delegates-The Outlook.

A Republican convention represent
ing the party in this congressional dis
trict will be held at Henrico courthouse
at noon to-day.
Its work will be to nominate candi-
date in opposition to the Hon. George
d. Wise, and to determine whether the
elector Of the Mahoneite State COnven-
/ tion OF that of the Cameron -WiseB Brady
Convention shall stand US the represen-
tatiye of the party.
The Mahoneites have entire control,
and the verdict may be anticipated.
THEIR CHOICE.
The indications are that ex-Judge Ed
mund Waddill will be the nominee for
/ Congress lie ran two years ago, and
/ pOlled his party vote. 1t issupposed that
he can do as well now. No man put in
the position can do very much more.
The name of ex-City Sergeant j. G..
Smith has been repeatedly mentioned in
I this connection and some of the dele
gates are very fav0rably inclined to-
wards him, but as against Waddill he
can make no headway certainly not
without the active assistance of General
Malone. and the little General has al
ways regarded Judge Waddill very
favoraby. But it is by no means GER
tain that Mr.. Smith wants the job if he
can get 1t, or that lie would care to
throw his political fortunes with this
party.
THE SENATE.
After the Congressional Convention
has adjourned the delegates from the
county OF Henrico and city of Rich
mond will meet together to nominate a
senator in opposition to Mr.. Conway r.
Sands, who has been put up by the
Democrats to fiji the place made vacant
10y Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson's resignation
1t is very likely that Mr.. John :. Bethel
will be offered this candidacy.
FOR HE HOUSE.
70 fill Mr. Lyon q. Tyler's vacant
seat the Democrats have nominated Mr.
G. r.. Workman, Jr. The Richmond
Republican delegates will meet to-day
after the adjournment of the Senatorial
Convention to select their man.
Several who were prominent ss Re
formers are spoken Of The plan seems
to be to give the congressional nomina-
tion to q Republican and the two other
places to Reformors, but there is no
telling what may happen. Usually these
conventions Of the Republicans are
guided very much by the wishes OF Gen
eral Malone.
Mr. A. II. Kaufman is mentioned in
connection with the House Of Delegates
nomination.
