The Republicans OF this city and Sec
ton are making a vigorous campaign,
and the chances are that they will elect
one member of the House of Delegates,
and perhaps two in this legislative dis
trict: Messrs. McCaull. Roller, and
Lyons, OF the Republican State ticket,
have been here, and their visit seems to
have cemented the two factions OF the
Republican party, so far as their votes
are concerned. Colonel j. Hampton
Hoge. the leader of the Agnew faction,
presided over the mass-meeting last
night, and in a speech advised all Re-
publicans to vote for the ticket noml-
mated by the "Lambkns." The Republic
cans are unanimous for the Independent
legislative ticket, and will do all in their
power for its success.
