known that he has been almost daily
visitor at the White House since the 4th
of March last, patiently waiting for hours
day after day, begging 10 see the Presi-
dent in the hope of getting an Office.
THE OTHER NOMINEES.
"Mr Yost participated In the meeting
OF tie State Committee on August 18th
last at Lynchburg. when Lamb was de-
posed as State chairman, and, although
the Congressman was not able to control
more than a fraction OF one vote. and
that by proxy. in the regular organization
Of his party, he is, according TO all party
usage, fairly bound by the action OF the
State Committee
General Roller the nominee for Lieu
tenant-Governor, is brother Of General
Roller. who was an applicant for the
Solicitor-Generalship from President Nc
Kinley.
LAS TO Colonel James Lyons, the nomi-
nee for Attorney Of these boilers
and disorganzers. he was hardly In the
party before applying for one Of the best
offices under the administration. that OF
Assistant Attorney-General. and he was
early in the field with his application, So
Letting in person the endorsement Of the
present Republican State Committee, and
also that of General Allan. He now seems
to aspire to the leadership Of the worst
element Of negroes here in Richmond
Truly his conversion Is too miraculoes
to be lasting, or to bring forth good
fruit. but perhaps as he grows older in
his new party he may see the error OF
his ways. and repent Of his present folly
AS TO MIR. WICKHAM.

recently learned that he was a Republi-
can. end more recently that he is a son
Of the late General Williams C. Wick

participation in Republican politics The
party needs such men IS ne 10 the front
in their respective localities. There is
bright future for young men like him IN
the party in Virginia, for l am confident
that in n few years Virginia viii be a
Republican state. Mr.. WiclSham is still a
young man, and his experience in politics
being somewhat limited. / venture TO say
that there IS no probability whatsoever
Of his achieving success in the party
by commencing his career as an active
participant in leading the anti-Mckinley
forces I'm Virginia.
'He must know that failure will attend
the efforts being made to destroy the in
fluence and power Of the national admin
istration. the National Committee. and the
regular organization Of his party in VIZ
ginia. But. upon calm reflection, ] be-
leve that MI Wickham will display the
good judgment that would be exercised
by his honored father under similar cir
cumstances, and that he will get rom
under the avalanche that will surely
crush all those disaffected individuals
who would destroy and disrupt the Re
