The Fairfax County Meeting.

Yesterday was lively and Interesting day at
Fairfax g. H. The Conservative mass meet
ing was largely attended The discussion of the
various plans proposed gave rise to some spicy
sparrlng of a personal character and great
deal Of eloquent clap trap, which | opiue was
not much to the edi6caton or delectation of
the large audience. A committee of eighteen
was appolDted-tbree from each district
which retired, and after several hours consul
tatoD, reported IN favor of a primary election,
to be held sometime early 10 September. And
now that we are to have primary election, we
| realize the fact, and it's a disiderstum that
seems to weigh heavily on the minds of the
more thoughtful and better element Of the
party, that DO name of all the aSpuants men-
