GOOD REPUBLICAN POLITICS.
u Considered however. that it would
b. good politics on the part Of the Re

r.r mon. After "a brief debate. the Re
1tUcans would force adjournment. which
everybody is anxious for. and leave the
responsibility FOR the failure of the cur
.rcy bll on the Democrats. This is
said 90 Dee the plan. but whether ii Will
be carried out is a question hard to
decide. 10 SIS more than probable that
when the tariff bin is passed Senators
aul Representatives will pack their grips
and get away. and by Saturday evening
there viii be no quorum In either house
and there would be nothing left to do
bat 90 adjourn. currency message or no
currency message.
COLONEL LAMBS PROGRAMME
The h,tle that is known here of Colonel
Lambs determination to call a Repub-
Jean State Convention in Virginia. place
3D. ticket in the field. and make a. contest
i1r the State offices with the Democrats.
ana his ability TO carry out such a pro-
.nmme. is occasioniug lively discussion
among both Republicans and Democrats
from that state. The latter have no fears
for the result. one way or the other
They feel satisfied Of the election of the
ticket that VIII be nominated at KOa-
roke. whether the Republicans have a
ticket in the field or not
Republicans. however. regard the an
rruncemeut of Colonel Lamb. as pub

...siderable anxiety. lt is certain 10
have marked effect on the administra-
t.r and consequently ON the distribu-
U.l " the patronage. Some Of Colonel
Lambs friends claim that owing 10 the
dissatisfaction throughout the State with
ue Johnson Hotel quintctte. better
kaowu .s The Executive Committee. the
Colonel win have the bulk of the party
.. ms back when the convention meets.
Tie Executive Committee and the con-
grts-mo1 have been unable 10 adjust
uer Cnercnces in regard 10 the Offices
arI certainly the former has not been
successful in getting appointments Of
Importance from the admins ration The
convention viii doubtless have been held
before the President returns from his
Vacation boo September, and then there
may Boz such breaking of states as has
not been seen in a long time.
