The Republican headquarters were
opened here to-day at No. 9l7 Bank
street. Two very neat rooms arc hand
somely fitted up. Colonel Wickham the
state chairman, spent some time there
greeting callers, OF whom there were
many. Mr.. j. w. Tierney, of Norfolk,
Is temporarily In charge. He is young
man man or very pleasing address. Colonel
Wickham Is much pleased with the en-
dorsements given the Lynchburg ticket
by the Republicans In all parts Of the
state. He Is daily receiving letters
from influential party men promising
their support TO McCaull. Roller and
Lyons
The fact that both OF the Republican
congressman from Virginia are support
ing McCaull Is giving the anti-Lamb
people some concern. They Will not ad-
init 1t. but Just the same there Is no
doubt OF the fact that they regret that
tne congressman are taking sides for
the AlcCaull ticket. The visit of the
leaders OF the Waddlll faction to WASH
ington is said to be for Il purpose other
than to get Office for their constituents.
In other words, it is said they arc pre-
paring 10 play their trump card in the
hight with the Lamb people

state Democratic Committee, has re-
turned from Caroline county and Frcdc-
ricksburg, where he attended the

siaSm. Major Tyler is a native OF Caro-
line and Is very popular with the pcople

bemocrats put up Mcssrs. II. 13. Owen
nominated Messrs. J. Haskins IIobson
ana James NJ. Gregory. two of their
leaders. The Republicans nominated
Mr. j. w. Nunnally and endorsed Mr..
Eiobson. This did not please all the
Republicans and Mt. IG. b. Howle has
announced himself an independent can
didate. The district is naturally pre-
pairing to make the canvass red hot. Ii
Is the purpose OF the Democrats to
send their best speakers to this district.
Ihere Is talk of n movement to erect
monument to the late Major Lewis
Ginter 1t is understood that ore OF
the leading business organizations in
the city will take hold of the scheme
There Will be no trouble In raising the
money If the movement takes shane.
Major Ginter was a very popular man
with all classes and the thousands of
people to whom he has given employ
meat Will contribute to the fund
The city has many visitors just at
this time. There are some four or five
hundred people attending the meeting Of
the National Wholesale Druggists As

or two longer, and will wind up WIKI a
trip to Old Point on the steamer poca-
hontas
