FROM WASHINGTON.

WARRINGTON, D. c., Aug. %, 1889.
Among the Congressman in the city to
day is Mr.. Bowden, republican, of Virginia.
In a talk with the GAzETTE's correspondent
Mr.. Bowden said the ticket nominated at
Norfolk was satisfactory to and popular
with the Virginia republicans, Messr7,
Slemp and Lurty, as we'll as General Ma
hone. though the General ia the most popu-
lar republican in the State. With reference
to the opposition OF Messrs. Yost and Heer-
mans, he said the former had always been
fighting the party from the rear, and that
he had never before heard of the latter ex'
oept as bogus delegate to republican con.
yentions. Mr.. Bowden said the opposition
of the "kickers" would do the party more
good than harm, and was rather coorted
than otherwise, as 1t would tend TO stlr up
the party to work and would bring out the
full party vote. 10 respect OF the remaining
federal patronage in Virginia, Mr. Bowden
said all of it doubtless would now be placed
at the disposal of General Malone, and tnat
probably the reason why some OF It nad not
Already been distributed was the fact that
the General had not had time since the con
veution to demand it. He said the General
had Invited some OF the more prominent
men of the party to bis home in Petersburg
next Tuesday night, when he would consult
with them about the plan of his campaign
and perfecL his arrangements therefor.
Mr.. Richard Johnson, one of the repuoii-
can leaders of Alexandria county, was here
to-day. He says that under certain circum-
stances the republ cans of his county Will
run Mr.. Corbett for the legislature. What
| the particular circumstances are he said he
was not at present at liberty to mention,
hut that be supposed Mr.. Corbett would be
the republican candidate any how; indeed
he did not see how it could be otherwise
! MIR. Hume's friends say here that no matter
whom the republicans nominate, Mr.. Hume,
in addition to the solid democratic vote,
will receive the votes of large number OF
republicans. -.
| q northern republican now temporarily
residing in this city was one of an excursion
party to the Luray Caves yesterday. De
returned last night, and was at the Capitol
this morning. He says that while at the
hotel In Lursy he was told by resident OF
] the town.th while he believed Page county,
of which Luray is the county town, would
\ 90 democratic, he was afraid Gen. Malone
would be able to buy some of it's white
voters. few of whom be was satisfied were
onlv waiting for an offer. From this the
| northern republican referred to, was dis
posed to think that white votes could be
boupht In Virginia as we'll as In Indiana
and New York.
