VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS Col. Viii.
liam Lamb. the successor of General
Malone as chairman of the republican
State committee, has been in Richmond
for the past two days. He announces
that there will be meeting there on
Wednesday next of the State execu
tive committee to recognize the repub
lican city committee, of which Mr.. Ed
gar Allan is chairman. There are &C.
rous wranglings among the Virginia
+ ublicaus, which promise to grow
,nore bitter by the time of meeting OF the
State convention, on April %. Speak
70 on this subject, ex-judge Edmond
Waddill said yesterday: '1u the last
month or so there have occurred more
chickering's, dissentions and general tur-
moil in the party than at apy previous
time in its history within my recollec.
ton. have seen letters sent out from
the State chairman's Office which the
democratic papers would have given a
good deal to get hold of for publication.
Instead of taking advantage OF these
big opportunities, however, the papers
have been printing the petty quarrels
of lot of peanut politicians, who don't
amount to anything on EARTH"
1t is understood that determined
fight will be made to change the pres
emit plan of organization to take from
the executive committee the power OF
appointing local chairmen or controli
ing their organizations. 1t is charged
that Chairman Lamb favors sending
solid white delegation to st. Louis.
The Mckinley men will favor giving
one of the four places as delegate-at-
large to the colored men.

republicans of the Eighth district are

RIGHT THINKING Virginians are graf
flied to know that Mr.. Tucker OF their
State, a member of the foreign affairs
committee OF the U. S. House of Repre-
s,ntatives, voted against the resolution
reported from that committee in the
House.yesterday, in favor Of recognizing
the oelligerency Of the negro and mu
lstto insurgents and their few scalawag
waite leaders in Cuba. Mr.. Hit, re-
publican of Illinois, is chairman of that
committee, but he is evidently not as
wise man as John Quincy Adams,
wlo, when Secretary Of State under
the putative author of the Monroe doc
trlne, siid: "When sovereign has a
reasonable hope of maintaining his au-
,hority over insurgents, the acknowl-
cdgmeut of the independence of such
insurgents would be an international
wrong" 10 the case of Cuba, the SOW
creign of Spain has not only treason
able,n but confident hope of maintain
Jag his authority over the insurgents,
who are nothing else than banditti,
with no seat of government, no com
missariat, no navy, and who are row
ing about the island in small bands,
footing, burning and destroying every
thing in sight; i'll armed and short OF
ammun ition, and to whom every body
with any material interest in the island
is opposed, because all such have only
to look across q narrow sea and vie"
Jamaica and San Domingo, to know
what their fate would be 10 the improba
Bile event of the insurgents success.
