congressional convention in this city ap-
Iroaches it becomes more and more evil
dent that the members of that party in
this district are determined upon Mr. Park

solid Agnew delegation, Stafford and other
counties followed her example, and few
days ago the populous county of Loudoun
elected large delegation instructed for
AgneW- The Alexandria delegates, elected
the 18th of this month were not instructed
for any one, 1t being Understood that Mr..
AsneW would not allow his name to be
Drought before the convention, and it also
being recognized that in case his name
were presented the Alexandria delegates
would need no instructions.
Prominent republicans here say that Mr.
AgnsW will not be a candidate, although
they all agree that he is the strongest man
that could be nominated. Others mentioned
prominently for the nomination are Mr..
Lrcien Winston of Culpeper and Mr.. VIM.

House Wednesday, the 31st instant.
