Colonel Brady, in reply to en

relations with Chairman Mahone
were not of a friendly charac
ter. Touching the recent meet
ing of Republicans at the ex -Senator's
residence in Petersburg, he

who are bitterly opposed to the

will have nothing to do with any
of his meetings.

the report which reach me is that

The exe- 1
cutive committee did consist of
three members Mahone, W. C. (

Clark as secretary. Mr. Flam
resigned some months ago. He
is now editing an independent

The prospects of a Republican
victory in November next under'
the lead of Mahone, and in such j
event the chances of Mahone to j
be the successor of Riddleberger !
were earnestly spoken of by ex- j
Congressmen. Until Mahone

the Democrats is no small under
taking. But now that Mahone
has pressed himself and his re
cord to the front, making the
whole battle to hinge on his elec
tion to the senatorship, he will
be badly beaten.
A large majority of the lie-

more of his selfish,tyranical rule

3f ordered Uy Her Daughter.
On Saturday, the Gth inst.,
Mrs. Mary Rawlinson, aged 71,
arrived at Oswego from Augusta,
Kan., intending to reside with
her daughter, Mrs. Harvey Willis.
After a day or two the old lady
quarreled with her daughter, who
wanted to get possession of her
mother's money, of which she
possessed a considerable amount.
Monday morning the two women
had a disgraceful quarrel in
which Mrs. Willis grabbed her
mother by the hair, threw he
violently to the floor and beat
and kicked her until she became
unconsions. In a few hours the
injured woman died from the
effects of her injuries. She died
while dictating a will to exclude
her unnatural daughter from re
ceiving any of her property.
Mrs. Willis was arrested.
Preparing for the Campaign:
Petersburg, . Aug. 10. The
Republican State Committee,
with a number of prominent Re
publicans, met in conference at
Senator Mahone's resident last
night and were in session all
night discussing the political
situation and subject of an ad
dress to the people of the State.
Favorable reports were made
from different districts as to the
condition of the party. The
conference adjourned this morn
ing, having delegated to Gen.
Mahone and the committee the
duty of preparing an address em
bodying a platform of principles.
This address has not been made
public, but it is understood to
ariaign the Democratic Legisla
ture for failure to settle the debt
question and to declare the abil
ity of the Republican party, if
restored to power, to settle the
debt satisfactorily. It also ar
raigns the Democratic party of
the country for its failure to abol-
ish the tobacco tax ; to pass the
Blair Bill, and for other alleged
short comings.
