THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE
With the election of delegates in this
county the contest for the congressional
nomination is about over and it look as
if Jno. F. Rixey would secure the prize.
He we believe is in every way worthy
of it, fact which he will have proved
if after service of three terms, he will
be able to put up SO stout fight for
the nomination as Meredith has done.
The people in the Eighth district expect
great many favors from their repre-
sentative and lie who can satisfy them
in this respect and retain their support
will accomplish more than has yet been

SENATOR SHERMAN publicly states
that he "believes the democratic party
will repudiate the Chicago platform.
The Senator is a notorious repudiator
of his own utterances, and, judging 9th
or people by himself, it is only natural
for him to believe that parties are as
fond of repudiating their declarations as
he is of repudiating his own. When q
crooked man judges other people by
himself he is very apt to be mistaken.

HON. PARK AGSEW.

The Eighth Virginia district republi-
can congressional convention will meet
in September and it is now in order to
discuss candidates. The republican
candidate must not only be strong
man in his own party, but one who can
command the support Of the independ-
ent vote and business world. That
man is the Hon. Park Agnew, of Alex
andria. Mr.. Agnew is the most popu-
lar republican in the Eighth Virginia
district. Honest, conservative, wealthy,
a man of experience and large bust
ness capacity, generous, approachable
to the humblest, are the prominent
characteristics of Mr. Agnew. He can
command the largest personal follow
ing of any man in the district. Agnew
is q safe man. Complete the ticket viz.
Mckinley, Hobart, and Park Agnew
for Congress. The ticket will sweep
the Eighth district. The Leader is
first and last in favor of Park Agnew
for Congress.

can. 1t is the duty of all true republic
cans to stand for Chairman Crupper
and the party organization. This is no
time to swap horses. Victory is ahead,
Mckinley and Hobart are our standard
bearers. No man who wants McKin-
ley to carry Alexandria will join the
small, disorganized band of kickers,
who are attempting to disrupt the city

can carry Alexandria for Mckinley.

THE "GRAcE" democrats of New

1ional democracy. Well, why shouldn't
they? They have bolted every demo-
cratic ticket, unless it had the name of

years, and they. certainly are no better
democrats now, than they have been
heretofore. Indeed, it seems that near

RATE Wharf.-The Seaboard Air Line
has declared war upon the Southern
Railway, and freight tariffs have been
torn to pieces. The Seaboard yester-
day issued circular declaring a cut of
335 per cent. on all freight consigned
to points south, and if the Southern
system retaliates it is more than proba-
BILE that further slash will follow.
In addition to the cut rates, the
Steam.Packet Company. of Baltimore,
an ally of the Seaboard Air Line, will,
beginning next Friday, run steamers
between Baltimore and Richmond by
way of Chesapeake bay and the James
river, thereby invading territory here
tofore exclusively controlled by the
Southern Railway Company.
