THE PIE BRIGADE.
The Hon. Mark Hanna is expected here
on Wednesday, and this will be the signal
for the coming Of the Republican pie
hunters. who have been STAYED off so
long from every part of the country. 1t
goes without saying that the Virginia
machine will be well represented at the
start, however it may come out at the
finish. Judge Waddill is expected to ar
rive in time TO meet Mark as soon as he
reaches the national capital, and the
Judge will be followed by Chairman
Agnew, Colonel James j.. Brady, S.
Brown Allen, and General James A.
Walker, the quintette who compose the
Republican machine State Executive
Committee. Congressman YOst will doubt
less also be here, and then the old
wrangle over the marsnalship and the
office Of United States Attorney for the
Western District of Virginia will be
fought over again.
The machine committee are backing S.
Brown Allen (who has been slated for
the marshalship since the St. Louis con-
ventiOn), with the exception of General
Walker, who wants the place for his
friend, ex-Congressman Henry NJ. Bowen
Of Tazewell. The machine graciously ac-
cords Walker and Yost, the two Republi-
can congressman from Virginia, the privi-
lege Of naming the United States Attor-
ney for that district, but as the repre-
sentatives in Congress Of a large portion
Of the constituency interested, they want
both places. In fact. General Walker
wants both places. as he has no less than
three candidates in his own district for
United States Attorney. These are Dave
Bailey, of Washington county; j. L.
Gleaves, Of Wythe. and Judge Anderson,
Of Wise. Yost has as a candidate for
this place, William Courtney Franklin.
Of AppomattOX, and the Hon. j. Hampton
Hoge, Of Montgomery, is also candidate
for the position, with a strong independ- |
ent backing, regardless Of either the |
machine committee or the two congress |
men. Mr. Hoge Is, to all intents and |
purposes, a free lance, and altogether the |
fight is a pretty one, and the outcome is |
looked forward to with considerable in |
terest This Office will have to be filed |
by the 1st Of January, as Mr. Montague, |
the incumbent, viii then become Attor-
of Virginia.
There is little said about the offices in
the Eastern District so far, Morgan
Treat. of West Point, being slated for
Marshal at the expiration Of MIR. Hud-
gins's term, with the district attorney
ship now filed by Mr.. William II. White,
Gold Democrat, for an indefinite period
RICHMOND POSTMASTERSHIP.
There is. however. an interesting bit
# gossip among Virginia Republicans
,bout the next postmaster for the city Oh
richmond. The story is that the con-
est did lie between Ous russell anu
Yray Knight. 1t was naturally supposed
hat this office would be the particular
,lum to be plucked by Judge Waddill loi
he should name, but IL APP
