The Fairfax Herald says:

The Fairfax Herald says:
"Mr. r. Lindsay Gordon, oil Louisa
county, has sent out anumber OF circular
letters announcing his candidacy for the
Congressional nomination next year In
opposition to Hon. {. c. Carlin.
Every man has the right to run for office,
and in thus announcing himself Mr.. Cor
don is acting within bis rights, although
In our opinion be Is displaying exceed
ingly poor judgment. He does not
charge that Mr.. Carlin is 10 any respect
unfit or unworthy to represent us; but
Mr.. Gordon is anxious to secure and
hold down that particular job, and
although badly beaten before, he feels
that be can be nominated II he can only
persuade enough people to vote for him.
But that ''iP' will prove an insurmount-
able obstacle. 1t has always been the
custom in this district to give our Con-
gressman at least one reelection, and we
venture the prediction that the rule will
not be departed from In this instance.
Mr.. Gordon will be overwhelmingly de-
feated. The people will not turn down
worthy capable and energetic man,
after serving portion OF term, just to
crafty the ambition OF even go excellent
a gentleman az Mr.. Gordon"

The Alexandria Times says:

Mr.. Gordon. OF Louisa, Va, has written
letter to the people Of the Eighth Con
gressional District. informing them that
be IL candidate for Congress next year
against Mr.. G.. C. Csrlin. We may be
mistaken, but we really believe that Mr.
Gordon would have saved money II he
had not spent 1t for postage and letter
writing
/ Mr.. Gordon's letter not only would
not commend itself to any intelli-
gent constituency. but probably by this
time he has learned that II would have
been little more In accord with the
sentiment Of the people OF the district II
be had been little more patient before
trying TO ioist himself on them with bic
methods and his statements, aud had
given Mr. CarIin an opportunity to put
himself In a position to be criticized by
the district before he Mr.. Gordon) at
tempts to supplant him before Mr.. Carlin
has taken his seat In Congress?
Mr.. Gordon says that Mr.. Carlln is q
minority nominee. Did not Mr. Gordon
know, when he entered the campaign
with the four competitors, that the man
who would receive the nomination, would
unauestionably be selected by plurali-
ty? Had Mr.. Gordon been elected by q
plurality, would be have been so earnest
In advocating a different kind oiprimsry;
would be have refused to accept the NOM
ination II he had been plurality nomi-
nee?
Is Mr.. Gordon honest in this section OF
bis letter?
Mr.. Gordon comes out now with his
card as all that is good. honorable and
true. Does he dare affirm that Mr.. Carlin
Is not as honorable or as true as he?
Mr.. Gordon's letter is one that should
condemn rather than commend him to
the people OF this district.

"Mr. r. l.. Gordon, Jr., OF Louisa coun-

self a candidate for Congress from this
district and will submit his claims to the
democratic primary, II one is held next
summer. Mr.. c. G. Carlin, OF this city
IL will be remembered, was nominat-
ed last summer aud elected on the fifth
of the month by handsome majority
to fIll the unexpired term in Congress oi
the late John f. Rixey. 1t is customary
10 this district TO give a man at least
two terms, and Mr.. Gordon's entrance
into the field before Mr.. Carlin has even
taken bis seat appears TO the latter +

James 81. Garner, aged 45 years. She
leaves a husband and ten children to
mourn her loss.
Home is sad, oh God now dreary
Lonesome, lonesome every spot,
We listen for voice till weary
Weary for we hear her not,
The home is filled with weary signs
The sunshine long has fed.
Come back and dry our fearful eyes
We can't believe you dead.
Death has robbed US of our dear mother
Of the one we loved so we'll, taken from
this world of sorrow
Safely home with him to dwell, gone
from earth, yes gone forever.
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain.
We shall hear her voice, oh never, never
more on earth again.
God of love sent us some token, from the
spirit world above.
That our hearts all crushed and broken
may be healed by heavily love.
There never was world 50 sweet as the
word she used to say.
There never was day 50 sad as the day
she passed away.

station yesterday and saw McNulty
Martin informed Chief Flammer thai
he remembered McNulty and also re-
membered the series of murders whicI
caused such terror to spread through
Pennsylvania dozen years ago. The
police at first believed that McNulty
was simply insane and imagined nc
had committed the murders, but they
are now convinced that there may be
something in his stories, and word was
last night sent to the police of Yates

prisoner and of the murders he claims
to have committed.
