tons In our party in the South" remark
ed a well-known Virginia Republican.
1.-THE party organization must be sus-
tanned, and when Hull undertakes TO
bolster up the candidacy of any individual
not supported by the State Committee
he is simply doing good Democratic work,
and the leaders of that party are laughing
in their sleeves at the bungling methods
of the Yankee leaders In this city,
CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIALS.
THE charge that Colonel Brady and
the Executive Committee are not sup
porting General Walker and the other
regularly nominated candidates, is re-
scented by every Virginia Republican who
has the interest of his party at heart, and
they are, on the other hand, amused at
the silly charges made to the Civil Ser
vice Commission by two negroes against
Postmaster Knight of Richmond, and
United States Marshal Treat, of the East
ern District. If Hull and Loudenslager
will keep their hands off and attend TO
their own States and sections, where
executive ability and barl are badly
needed, the Virginia Republicans Will take
care of themselves. Though Parr, in the
Fifth District, offered to put up two dol
