Virginia have Just received from w. Z.
RurdeH. treasurer of the campaign fund
of the Ohio Republicans, an urgent let
ter asking for funds to aid in defeat
ing John r. Mclean.
The letter urges the Importance of
renting promptly in order to MAIN
tain Republican supremacy in that
State.
The Republicans here were agnast at
receiving such request, and take it
to mean that Hanna has declined TO
tap his barrel to any great extent.
The letter is careful to state that it
is not instigated by the Federal gov
eminent but simply the action of the
members of the committee. 1t is not
thought that many Virginia Republic
cans will respond.

Secretary Joe Button was in his office
at Democratic headquarters this morn
ing busily engaged in attending to
matters that have arisen during his

ents some rather knotty points, but
there will probably be q solution of the
matter found that will be satisfactory.
Under the election law candidates

must be the nominee, unless some other
name has heretofore been sent ill., which
IS not regarded as likely
In the event that n convention is held
and one OF these gentlemen nominated,
me other will be expected to drop out
Some talk has arisen around the State
as to the Governors position regarding
the Democratic caucus, which is to
elect q Senator.
It Is claimed that the majority of the
independents running are Tyler men.
Inc question asked is: "How can these
candidates help the Governor, should
they be elected. Under the rules, they
cannot participate in the caucus. 1t is
within the bounds OF possibility, how
ever, that enough Independents and
Repnblicans may be elected to control
the nomination, should they combine

Governor Tyler will pledge himself 10

Democrats OF Augusta, at the court
