4 CONVENTION.

We can tell our friend Harry
Smythc, of the Clinch Valley
News, that we are to have a Con-
vcntiCn. The Committee have
agreed on that much, and are
merely negotiating now as TO the
lime and place Ct holding it. This
much is official. To put at rest
Bro. Uccrmans, we Will refer to
the proceedings, which we to-day
copy from the Abingdon VIRGIN
IAN, of the consultation at Abing-
don. lie will see that the state>
meut of the Clinch Valley News
tina. the gentlemen there met "to
superccde the Conservative Com
mittcc" was premature. 1t is pro-
posed merely to act inside of the
Democratic party. We will state
further hat we only ask that a
Convention shall be ordinarily fair.
We have never yet bolted a party
nominatior, and we shall not be
too eager to sind fault with any
ere. We expect TO support the
nominee, whether fundcr or anti
funder, but VIC mean TO try and see
that the people r not cheated,
and We shall try to beat the Fun.
dcrs. We AGAIN tell Heermans
"do thysclf 10 harm" In the
Convention we shall put the bri-
die on AL boIting nags and require
them TO pledge fcalty to the nomi-
nee. The man who cannot take
that oath then can walk out into
the wide world and find such COM
Iany Ar he may. So after all the
Abingdon consultation has secured
a convention aud saved the party
a purpose it had in view.
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1878-07-02

Bro. HFERMANsl there seems to
be very little between US. We are
10th for a convention. You wish
a Fundcr-we wish an anti Fun
der. We shall both support the
nominee. You charged hat the
Readjusters met at Abingdon and
agreed to support a convention,
and that they were trying TO break
mp the party. In this you were
cornered, and, as you can't get cut
yourself, we shalllet you ont. That
was an argumentative inadvertence.
We shall not press that point far
ther. Invite MS ' to C Phlea-
gar fay Fulkerson, and be sure
you have the cigars ready. Quit
your fvolishness. Help rs to fight
the Funding Bill and we shall help
you pay the public debt-as much
of it and as fast as the people can
bear-no moreno faster. Az RE-

Col. Fulkerson's plan, has fallen into

are compelled to ask our suhscri-
bers and other patrons 20 furnish
this office with some money. There
is no other business which must be
run on so exclusive a cash basis as
that of an office like this one w
must meet our paper bills in cash.
Oar hands must have their wages
as rapidly as they earn it. We put
to each subscriber the question, how
much he has paid in the last two
yearsl How much in the last
twelve months. Gentlemen, we
cannot live this way. We cannot,
in any such manner, run a public
institution for the benefit of the
country. We must have some
money, We think we are entitled
10 it. Those who run the local
press deserve some favors. This
community should see that it is
supported. We need money, and
we now plainly ask our delinquent
patrons for it. We want it-must
Lave it. II You can pay all, do so.

Dear Sir :: We herewith transit to
Won the proceedings of q meeting held
at Abingdon, Va, which speak fol
themselves. We heartily recommend
them TO your careful and earnest con.
sideiation, because we know YOU are
in full sympathy with Us. Deeming
it necessary for our self. preserva ion,
that the great Observation-Disclosures, or
the ruin of Virginia and our dearest
interest, should be fairly presented to
the people, we have adopted this
method. 1t is impossible TO keen the
question of reimbursement out of a
Congressional canvass. and we do not
desire 10 do go, for the reasons set forth
in the resolutions.
Complete organization is necessary
to success. We therefore, respectfully
ask prompt and immediate action, in
your county, in regard to carrying
out the county organization. Your
powers as Chairman of your County
Committee are set forth in the resolu-
tions, and you will see the importance
of communicating withthe chairman
of the District Committee. ID. f. Bal

gress of successful organization in
your county. Bear in mind that We
do not propose to act outside the pale
of the Democratic party, but on the
contrary, to maintain the principles
of that party IN the strictest sense
We should by all meas have Il Con
gre>sional convention and will urge
the district Executive Committee,
| appointed at Richmond. to call one at
! an early day. Let us he prepared to
| enter the convention with assurance
of victory. The nomination is ours If
we do our duty, Our political sn-
premacy in the district should be
complete; indie d, should be exerted
! to fill every office from the highest to
the lowest. As sOOn as practicable
the pertinent chairman will call a
meeting Of the District Committee
(which is composed OF the chairman
Of the County ConImittees) to assem-
bile Mt a convenient point, to be here
after designated by him, for the pur-
pose OF more perfect organization.

Gov McMullin addressed the peo-
pie of Bristol at the Mayors Office
last Thursday afternoon. He claim
ed TO be the oldest readjuster in the
Stete, though he had modified
his views touching the State debt
He contended the Z. S. should pay
the debt, but as this was not likely
to be assumed by the Federal Gov
eminent, he would compromise the
matter by allowing the L. S. to pay
only the foreign bondholders. The
resident b0ndholders lie would re-
quire to waive war and reconstruction
and compound interest, and the re-
maindcr be would scale according to
the loss IN the taxable basis of the
State from 1850 to the present.
He advocated Col. Fulkerson's
plan of procuring federal aid to build
the Cumberland Gap road, which he
pronounced the greatest necessity Of
the day. and he exclaimed be could
do more than any one else at pros
curing that aid. is to the charge
that be was too old, be would agree
to out run, outfit. or throw down any
man who proposed to rar against him.
His war record was a good one. He
had volunteered with the Silver Grays
to defend the Saltworks and Lead
mines. but he was thankful lie was
not in any battle.
The Governor goes to Scott, Lee,
