VIRGINIA C0LLECTORSHIP |.
A Number Of Candidates for The once
Of The Western District.
PAT MCCALL HAS TIE INSIDE TRACK.
Major Mckinley win Not Place the Pa.
tronage Of the state IN the Hands of
Waddill, Brady and Bowden and
Colonel Lamb VIII Have "a Say.

WASHINGTON. Jan. -Speciai.-Ths
Virginia Republicans in Washington are
watching with great interest the prepa-
rations FOR an active contest after tho
fourth Of March for the Internal Reye-
nue. Collsctorship I'm the Western District
OF the State. The leading candidates FOR
the position are Patrick II. Mccall. Parko
Agnew. of Alexandria. Henry c. Riyes.
OF Charlottesville and Thomas Wilson.
OF Clifton Forge. There are also several
others. whose names have not been 30
prominently mentioned, who will enter
into the fight
a prominent Republican said today 10
the representative OF The Times, that In
his opinion Mr.. Mccall win receive the
appointment
AN AMUSING ASSUMPTION.
1T IS very amusing 10 "" this gentle
man continued. 10 see the pretcnce on
tho part Of the Brady Agnew. Waddin.
and Bowden faction. that they only arc
the men entitled 10 recognition by the
incoming administration IA the distribu-
ton OF patronage.
They assume they are entitled 10 this
appointment in the Western District, and
they are impressing other people with
the same idea.
Now. as a fact. Mr. Mccall is likely to
receive more consideration from President
Mckinley than any other man who mas
appeared as an applicant for office. IL
Is not TO be forgotten that when nearly
an the Republican leaders Of Virginia
were either openly or secretly in favor
of the nomination Of Reed. Mr.. Mccall
announced. in an interview. his prefer
neco for Mckinley. lie staked all his
chances for political preferment upon
this announcement and the fact is not
only appreciated by Mr.. Mckinley. but
will be remembered by Mr. Mckinley al
ter he has been inauguratcd.
col. LAMBS INFLUENCE.
This leads me 10 another peculiar
phase OF tho Republican situation in Nir-
ginia regarding the distribution OF pat-
ronage. II IS generally assumed that
Col. Lamb has no longer any influence.
and that Messrs. Brady. Waddll and
Bowden will simply dictate the appoint
ments in the state. / do not believe thrg
assumption is correct IN any respect. l
believe Mr.. Mckinley will be a candi-
date for denomination four years hence,
and as such Is bound 10 make every ef-
fort 10 cOnciliate and harmonlZe all th9
factions in Virginia.
MKINLEY'S PROGRAMME.
"He cannot. therefore. ignore Colonel
Lamb, and place the patronage OF the
State at the disposal of the other fac
ton without causing great bitterness
and discomfort.
81 not only believe Mr.. Mccall will he ap-
pointed Collector Of the Western district,
in spite of the opposition OF Mcssrs. Wad-
dill, Allan, ''rady, and BOwden. but that
Colonel Lamb will be freely consulted
by Mr. Mckinley regarding other appoint
mcnts.
"Inasmuch as a majority Of the office
sspkpre in the STATE have allied them
selves with the Brady faction il seems
probable % me that Colonel Lamb may
be able 10 take care Of his friends with
satisfaction TO himself
