There was II large and enthusiastic meet
ms OF the Conservatives held here on Satur-
day 10 nominate delegates TO the State Con-
rcntion. George \. Bruce, Esq, was called
10 preside over the meeting. AS will
hc seen from the telegram TO your valuable

Il solid Holiday delegation. Malone men
were beaten three to one, although they be-
@an 10 come into town early and worked
hard. You will see that Malone and repu-
dlaton has no show in this township, from
the resolutions offered. A. NJ. Bowman,
Esq, offered the following resolution and
made strong speech for it:
Resolved, That the people OF South River
district are opposed TO the reputation OF
tue State debt in any form or guise pre-
scented, or any adjustment that is not honor
able 10 Virginia Or satisfactory to our credi-
tors.
Inc resolution was heartily seconded,
ana drew forth several good speeches.
Among the speakers was our excellent and
faithful representative in the Legislature Of
1873 and lS16-Ma!or A. koiner-Who made
a bold and telling speech against repudia-
tion, Which was heartily applauded. Some
ol inc Convention were opposed to taking
the vote on the resolution, as it might bring
up some discussion which would bring dis
cora INTO the meetIng-which had been held
IN such good ordcr--but the vote was loudly
called for. and taken and passed with but
one dissenting voice. After iDstructing the
delegates TO vote all the time against Ma
none, the meeting adjourned, -. 49,,
