virginia Omces-Names Mentioned
in Connection With Them.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-(Special.)-
The applicants for the Virginia Offices
are numerous. Only a partial list is mem
toned so far. and mere guesses are made
as to the slate that will be agreed upon,
but II appears TO be settled that no bolt
ing Democrat need apply. It is stated to-
day that Park Agnew, Of Alexandria, Will
be an applicant for the Internal-Revenue
Collectorshlp OF the Western District of
Virginia, TO succeed Mr. Fowle. and this,
it is said, Will leave the way clear for j.
IT. Crupper Of Alexandria, TO be the post
| master Of that city. Hon. Pat. McCaul,
defeated candidate for Congress in the
Eighth District. who once filed the office
Of Internal Revenue Collector at Lynch
burg. and Hon. Henry Rives, who also
held the same Office previously. are I'M
derstood TO be applicants again. making
three I'm all. including Mr. Agnew For
the marshalship OF that district. Mr.. II.
W. Brown defeated candidate for Con-
| gress in the Fifth District. and Mr. Watts.
! OF Tazewell n former incumbent. are said
to be i'm the field. Mr.. j. Hampton Hoge
| IS said 10 be an aspirant for the Office OF
United States District Attorney for the
Western District. but he is not alone.
and 10 is probable that General James A.
Walker, Of the Ninth District. who has
the prestige of having been elected twice.
viii probably name the men for the places
in this district.
Rumors concerning the Eastern Dis
trict and those who want the places are
vague, and names can only be guessed
at in connection with the positions. Re-
publicans here state that the Hon Nor
gan Treat. Of West Point, a most infu-
entail Republican. and a strong party
man, wants to be United States Marshal.
TO succeed Marshal Hudgins. Judge
Waddll is spoken OF for a United States
iudgeshlp, but where the vacancy is. or
how the appointment is 10 be made is
not defined. 1t is expected 10 material
lie, however.
REVENUE COLLECTORSHIP.
Colonel James D. Brady seems to be
without opposition for the internal reve-
nue. colectorship. to succeed Mr. Ryan.
Colonel Brady filed the office during Har-
rison's Administration. and made Pc
tersburg his headquarters; and. whrs
this was quite inconvenieut TO Richmond
manufacturers, Brady IS said TO have
made very good officer
The district attOrneyship OF the East
ern District IS considered a plum. and
some think that M. White of Norfolk.
will be allowed to retain the place. for
at least year or so; but this is not
probable. Hon. l.. L. Lewis the de-
feated candidate for Congress in the
Third District, and Mr. Edgar Allan are
spoken Of in conenction with the place.
and IL IS understood that a Boltocrat

For the postmastershiD Of Richmond. TO

worth. Otis Russell q former incumbent.
