CAMPAIGN ECHOES.

| The Washington correspondent OF the
| Alexandria Gazette says: A letter re-

day by the president OF Virginia Re-
publican Club, of this oity, tells the
recipient there is no money for the
campaign in Virginia, but urges him to
try to get US many votes for the Repub-
| can electoral ticket as possible. The
letter dosen't contain word about the
Congressional ticket, and the party who
received it says the House is going to
be Democrptic anyhow, and that he
thinks General Malone is right in op
posing the running of Republican Con-
gressional candidates this fall.
