HENRlco's POLITICAL MIDDLE.

HENRICO'S POLITICAL MIDDLE
The political middle in Henrico
county seems to get more comph-
Gated since the appointment ola new
County Committee TO take the place
OF the one who refused Brauer the
certificate as the candidate for treas
urer, and who resisted the action OF
the State Committee in reversing its
decision. 1t was hoped by the party
leaders that when the new County
Committee came in it would under
take to compromise the matter in
some way, in harmony with the ac-
tion OF the Central Committee. but
those who expressed this hope were
greatly disappointed by the action
OF the new committee. Instead OF et-
fecting a settlement OF the matter, in
accordance with the action OF the
Central Committee, it sustained tie
old County Committee in its decision
By a vote OF eight TO five, and de-
clared that Todd was the nominee Of
the Democratic party for treasurer.
We are informed that the committee
in making this declaration acted up
on the belief that the State Central
Committee had nothing to do with
the matter and trascended itsauthOr-
ity. That was the opinion OF she old
committee. This may be insubor-
dination, which is to be regretted,
but it also shows that there is more
In the charge that Brauer violated
the law than was admitted by the
Central Committee when it had the
case before it. Or it may have been
such a triAing violation in the eyes OF
the Central Committee that it con-
cluded no notice should be taken OF
it. Anyhow, Henrico county has two
Democratic candidates for treasurer.
both claiming to be the regularnom-
inee, and both, it is said, will con-
tinue in the field. The party is hope
lessly split as TO the candidates and
the canvass will be a hot one. IL Is
surely an unfortunate state OF things.
