good deal OF talk here to-day among Virginia
Republicans about the failure Of the attempt
made In New York yesterday to have General
Msbone placed upon the Executive Commit

hone was very anxious TO be placed upon the
committee. and that the proposition OF DIR.
HiIl, OF Mississippi, was supported 10 tue

the North Carolina member Of the National
Committee. and other southern members.
and was only defeated by the vigorous and
impassioued protest OF Colonel Brady. who
aunealed TO the committee not 10 take action
which would be offensive TO the antl-Mahone
Republicans OF Virginia, but to keep their
hands of and leave the two wings oil the
party there TO settle their differences among
themselves. 80,
mir. Yost said to-day that he had no idea
there would be more than one Republican
electoral ticket IN the State. He was not pre-
pared Just DOW to say how the matter would

There was q warm time OF II in the Senate
TO-DAY, The hot weather seems to have
heated the blood OF the reverend sei9neurs,
and there was an exchange OF bitter per-
sonallt,es between General Hawley and sena-
tor Blair on the one side and General Butler
on the other The Presidents yetoes OF the
pension bills were the subject OF the dis
cllssjon, General Hawley led IN fierce az
tack on the President, which General Bn'ler
met with q scathiug speech. IN which ne de-
Tended the President and criticised the nasty
and reckless legislation in reference to PEN
sIons. Senator Blair then took the moor ana
made n persoual attack on General Butler,
which led TO bitter coiloquy between the
two.
The selection Of William A. Scott as chair
man OF the National Democratic Executive
Committee was made after thorough can
yass OF the various gentlemen mentioned.
Senator German was the first choice OF the
committee, and would have been appointed

while willing to give his services as a men,

have as chairman OF the committee the man

Senator German does not go so far on that
question az Mr. Cleveland, and 1t was
Thought better that the management OF the
campaign should be intrusted to Mr.. Seott,
who is thoroughly in harmony with the
President, aud Is expected to direct the
fighting on the lines laid down in the Presi-

in yirginia and the committee will rely
largely on his experience and political sa-
gacity.
Mr.. Randall IS now considered out OF
danger, and telegram has been sent TO DR..
Martin, of Philadelphia, telling him that the
crisis Is past and that 1T was unnecessary
for him TO hasten 10 Washington on Mr..
Rands's account
Republican members say that they viii
make a strenuous effort TO take mp the de-
pendent pension bill before adjournment.
They are determined to force the northern
Democrats in the House TO record on this
subject. At present the outlook Tor a
vote on the Mills bill the latter part
of next week seems favorable. But the Re-
publicans may spring their pension legisla-
ton at any favorable opportunity. and II
they should succeed IN getting it up the re-
suit nav he a deadlock, as there IS large
minority that will never consent TO vote
on the bill II there is any probability OF Its
passage.
