smiled to think how they had entrapped such
valuable members to their party as Bald
win and others, without whom they could
scarcely count bakers dozen in the State.
Judge Cox Of Chesterfield, majestically
arose and said, that IN the confusion of yes
terday, a resolution inviting the Governor
to q seat on the floor, was tabled, which he
regretted. He now asked that the resolution
be taken from the table. The question not be-
ing debatable, the resolution ofthe sc)sipping-
post Judge was passed with but one dissent
ing voice. On the original resolution being
offered, Mr.. Leake said he did not object to
Walkers being here, because he was Gov
ernor, but that this was meeting of Vu-
gi,,ia gentlemen, and the precedent had never
been given us Of inviting Governors to seats
in Conventions. lie was Walker man if
nominated for Vice-President, but as Fu-
giiaid gentleman, he was willing to recognize
him as Governor, but not to invite him here
as Gilbert Walker. Exactly! Erginia
gentlemen have but little use for Gilbert
Walker, and if he lacks the brains to see it,
he writes himself down an ass.
Mr.. Chesterfield Cox replied to Mr.. Leake
in very enthusiastic and boisterous speech,
in which he spoke in the highest terms of
Mr.. Walker, and urged the Convention to
at least be polite to the Governor.
On taking his seat, Gov. Fayette McNIul-
len arose, and attempted to show that the
rules governing the House of Delegates,
adopted yesterday, entitled Governor Wal
ker to be present here. He could not and
would not endorse Governor Walkers re-
commentator to the Legislature to pay the
whole of the State debt.
AT this point great clamor was raised,
Gov. Nc. was choked off, and, amid great
confusion, the question was put and the re-
solution passed. This invites the Cover
nor to be present. If he comes after what
has passed, we are mistaken in the man.
Mr.. Smith, chairman of the business
committee, submitted the report ofthe COM
mittee, adopting a plan of organization.
which, being imperfect, we were unable to
obtain for publication. The report was
adopted, but will be returned to the COM
mittee to be perfected.
The chairman asked that the committee
be permitted to sit again, as it had not yet
completed its business.
The plan of organization of the party is
similar to its former one, such as the forma-
tiOn of tens and captains of tens, fifties and
chiefs Of fifties, sort of Ku-Klux organiza-
ton, familiar to most of our readers.
The first principle enunciated in the plan
of organization is s'to defeat Radicalism. +"
We can't see its success.
Mr.. Wood, of Halifax, moved to adjourn
until a o'clock, inasmuch as the business
committee seemed to have all the work on
its hands. leaving no business for the con-
