THE EIGHTH DIS rRICT TROUBLE
Washington correspondent Of the Riohnlond
Times says there is evident danger o.
trouble Ia The eighth congressional district.
L. ia 20 longer matter of doubt that Frank
Hume, urged by iudiscreet friends. thinks
of running as INDEPENDENT for Congress.
The renomination Of Lee By the regular de-
mociacy is o foregone conclusion. Hume
Ia very sore, anG seems to feel that LIE
should have gotten out ottha waY. As az
ATTEMPT to bolster up Hume's independent
race, il ia said the republicans would en-
dorse enG support him. This is not correct.
Ono of the leading republicans ofAlexandris
said to the Times correspondent last night
that they meant 10 run straight candidate,
and be added, that should Les aud Hume
divide tho democratic vote, the republicans
would run Park AgDew, and would elect
him. The truth is, that tho democrats OF
the district prefer General Lee, sud intend
to re-e'e3t him He has given satisfaction,
and Mas seaths of the district are Tor him.
