WASHINGTON, September 7.-(speciaD
Some OF the Virginia Republicans IN this
city has furnished the Washington pa
pers with some glowing predictions az
TO what their party will accomplish IN
the State at the approaching congress
slonal elections. The statements that
have been published are full Of errors
even when it comes to matters tnat a"S
casual reader ought to BE- posted on fo'

some one insists that the Republicans
will make nominations IN the seconu'
Third, and Eighth districts OF virginia.
Colonel Pat McCaull was nominated o"
the 5th instant at Manassas by the he-
publlcans of the Eighth District. ana the
Republican committee OF the Third Dis-
trict have named ex-Judge Waddil as
the candidate OF the party.

glna insist that the Second. Fourth
Ninth. and Tenth districts viii be .ar-
rled by their nominees. but It Is eviGent
they are badly posted when they claim
that General Walker will beat Judge MOri-
son I'm the Ninth District because the
friends of Congressman Jim Marshall are
very sore. and are carrying knives Tor
the nominee" The Democrats know
there is no truth in this story. and they
consider it a political SANDER, believing
that the friends and supporters Of Mr..
Marshall will be true to the Democratic
marty. and do their utmost for the sue
cess Of Judge Morrison.
