ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 4, 1904.
The victory of Mr.. Park Agnew of this
city at the state republican convention in
Norfolk last evening is very gratifying to
his fellow-townsmen without regard to po-
litical lines. The Endorsement of the state
chairman by the party was confidently ex-
pected, but the news of the utter failure
of those few leaders opposed to his admin
istration to set UP anything like an organic
ed opposition was received here with much
pleasure. With his reelection the affairs
Of the republican party in Virginia will be
largely directed for the next four years
from Alexandria MIR. Agnew was also elect
ed delegate-at-large to the national conven-
ton.
