Correspondence Of the Alexandra Gszette.1
WARRINGTON, Oct. u.

tered in that city, Williams, the demo
cratic candidate for mayor, would get
at least 65, 600, but that the legislative
ticket would be much mixed, owing to
a large amount of scratching. He also
said that while the Baltimore Sun pro-
fessed to be democratic, it was the most
active worker the republicans mac ID
the State. a convert of the Sun,
former democrat, stated that while ne
would admit Wellington to be a fool, he
preferred him 10 the senior Senator
from Maryland. So 1t seem, sit de-
| eads altogether upon how fellow has
been raised"
Major Tyler, the democratic candi.
date Tor Governor OF Virginia, informed
the president of the Virginia democratic
association of this city, who went 10
Fredericksburg to see him last night,
that he had been compelled to cancel his
appointments for both Alexandria and
Fairfax in order to 60 to parts OF the
State in which he learns his services
are more needed. He would, however,
ne said, fill the appointment that had
been made for him at Stafford House
on the Goth inst. This will be a great
disappointment to the democrats OF
Alexandria, who, it is said here, have
made arrangements for giving him
grand reception next Saturday night.
The President to-day appointed
Rafael NadrigaI, of Maryland, United
States consul at Carthsgena, Colombia.
The passenger department of the

The executive committee of the anti
Lamb wing of the Virginia republicans
met here to-day at the Hotel johnson,
aud with them were many minor lights
o: that wing, among whom were Messrs.
Treat, Groner. Rogers, Popham, Ma
hone and others. General Walker, who
is member of the committee. but who
says he will support the republican
ticket, though he agreed with the other
members of the committee in deposing
Colonel Lamb and deciding not to
nominate ticket, is also here and Is
trying to induce the other members OF
the committee to give the ticket their
hearty support, but go far without sue
cess, and the indications up to two p.
III to day were that the committee will
lake no action In respect of the State
ticket, but recommend that all
the republican voters in all the
counties give their united sup
port to the republican legislative
ticket. Such at least is the opinion OF
ex Congressman Bowden, also here, who
mas been made by the administration the
referee for all the official patronage 10
Virginia except that in the two con-
occasional districts of that State rep
resented by republicans. Among those
seen at the Hotel Johnson was the ia
nous Judge Riley of Accomac, Va.
Among the callers at the White
House to-day was Col. Lamb, the head
of one of the republican factions in Vir-
GINA and opposed to the faction which
has been more closely identified with
the administration. The republican
split in Virginia was discussed at some
length. 1t is known that efforts are
being made by outside republicans to
close the breach in the party in that
Stste.
Gen. Fitz. Lee is here to-day. His
furlough expires on the 18th inst,, but
he expects to have it extended until
the end of the month. He called at
the State Department to-day and will
call at the White House before he
leaves the city.
The following fourth-class postmas-
tiers were appointed to-day in Virginia !:
Center Cross, Aubrey Jones Finney's
Siding, T. K. Wallace.
Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow, of Alexandra, was
at the Office of the Southern Railway
Company this morning in the in.
terest of his city-to suggest the ezten-
ton of that road from Strasburg to the
coal fields OF West Virginia, charter
for which would be presented to the COM
pany, and to find out the lowest rates
at which coal and Birmingham iron
ore can be laid down at Alexandria.
$500 q ton for coal and $3.50 for iron
ore, he was told were those rates. The
inquiries referred to were made in re-
lation to the proposed establishment of
government plant for the manufac-
ture of plate armour.
A telegram from Fredericksburg ref
ceived here to-day says the body o.
Miss Jeanette Bradley, who was
drowned while yachting near there two
or three days ago had been recovered
and would BIO buried this evening.
The naval armor board will leave
here next Saturday for the South to
look at certain places with view to as.
certaining their availability for sites for
the proposed armor plant. The first
stop will be made at Birmingham, Ala.
Thence the board goes to Sheffield,
Ala, to Chattanooga, Knoxville and
Elizabethton, Tenn, in the order
named. 1t is barely possible that later
on the board will visit Piedmont, w.
Va, in view of the urgent request of
West Virginia public men. Great num-
bers of appeals are coming to the de-
partment from various localities pos.
sessing any kind of an iron plant to
have the board sent there to LOOK at
their resources, but in view of the fact.
that the board has no authority to
make any recommendations as to the
