THH LANCASTER TROUBLE.
State-Chairman r.llyson received cilicial
notification yesterday OF the failure Oh
tho two factions I'm Richmond and Ian
caster counties TO get together, and tct-
ing under the resolution adopted At the
recent meeting OF the State committee
In this city, which gave them ten days In
which 20 adjust their differences. and In
the event Of failure 10 submit 10 the adj
judicatlon Of body Of five members q
the committee, Mr.. Eliyson named the
following gentlemen TO hear bOtn sides
OF the controversy and decide The matter:
Messrs 2. v Cogbill. OF Chesterfield; j.
I. Woods. OF Roanoke; T.. ". HUI
bard. Of buckingham. and r. y. L1ssiter
Of Petersburg. Mr. Ellyson. by The terms
Of the resolution, H. chairman Of the COM
m,tes.
Tho committee will meet at the Jeffer-
son at o'clock next Friday night Both
sides 10 the controversy are hopeful that
the adjudication will be such as to bring
together the warning factions. The tenn
per 50 far displayed on each side is said
10 be- very favorable to amicable ADJUST
men..
Hon. J. Taylor Elyson and Senator
some time. canvassing the political situa-
ton in Virginia.
Both gentlemen are well pleased with
the outlook. While there are Republican
and Independent candidates I'm a number
OF counties, IL is not believed that In a
single county the Democratic opposition
is sufficiently strong 10 cause serious ap
prehenslon. The only cou1ty in which
there could be any prospect Of Independ-
ent success is in Southampton, where the
friends OF Mr. Stands 'efuse 10 accept
tho dictum Of the State Committee de-
claring Mr. Boykin the regular senatorial
nominee. Mr. Boykin. however. is an in
defatgable and most effective worker
He will put in some hard hicks between
now and electi0n-day on the ID Of 40
yemLei.
Taken altogether, the outlook for the
| usual overwhelming Democratic majority
| in the next General Assembly is fully as
bright aH ever.
FROM OVER THE STATE.
Letters received at State headquarters
from the senatorial district composed Of
the counties Of LUnenburg. Brunswick.
and Nottoway show that the people are
delighted az the prospect Of having Judge
William Hodges 4lann represent them in
the next Senate. Judge Mann is I'm every
respect one Of the finest men I'm Virginia.
He will take a foremost position in the
next General Assembly.
A letter 90 the Dispatch from Lee coun-
~ pays "a high tribute TO the character
OF DR.. J. n. Whitehead the Democratic
candidate tor the Legislature from that
county. DR. Whitehead was a gallant SOL
der I'm the Confederate army, having
! been captain Of Company p. Ffftleth Vir-
ginia Infantry Of the old Stoncwall
| Division. H0 received one or more
severe wounds while leading his COM
pany. The letter referred 70 continues:
"rhs writer saw him. with many other
| brave veterans Of the army. weep like a
| child when they, being at the time near
| Christansburg en- route 10 join General
| Lee. heard of the surrender Of our army.
| He Is true as the needle To the pole, and
Will make a faithful representative, II
| elected"
II is learned that Mr.. J. NJ Hancock
WI be an INDEPENDENT candidate for tho
| House of Delegates from Bedford county.
| Mr. Hancock was a candidate at the be-
! ginning OF the contest for nominations.

| held. The Bedford nominees We're nomi-
mated by big majorities. Mr. Hancock
| VIII nave rather a rough road 10 travel.
|
not yet declared himself an independent
candidate for reelection, but IL is conf
| IDENTIFY expected that he will do so. Should
| he become a candidate. ne also will pro-
baby have road partakng Of many Of
] the generally sec..bed characteristics Of
| Jordan.
