The question of opposition to Hon.
c.. c.. Carlin, democratic nominee for
Congress in this DISTRICTS still matter
of speculation. The last republican
convention realizing the futllity OF plac-
ing a man against the present standard
bearer of the democratic party ad-
iourned without making a nomination,
and left the matter in the hands OF the
city and county chairmen to select
some one to act as a target in the
present campaign. The following letter
has been received by Mr.. Harry B.
Quinn, chairman of the city republl-
can. committee in regard to the matter,
showing the determination of the con-
gressionaI committee to place a candi-
date in the field, if possible:
Manassas, Va, Sept. 26, 1910.

Dear Sir-The special committee to
whom was referred the question OF

mittee for tomorrow night and to get
their views in regard to placing a nom
inee in the field against Mr.. Carlin, be-
