The Charlottesville Chronicle says William
l.. Cameron, probably the least known to
the people OF all the prominent ReSdiuster
leaders, is the gentleman selected as the cam
didate for Governor. Formerly the editor
OF bitterly partisan Democratic newspa-
per, and, when conducting II, the pro-
nounced advocate OF payment to the utter
most farthipg u the public debt Of the state,

The Cuipeper Exponent says: A Malone
delegate who had Just returned from the
Convention last Saturday was giving u
graphic account OF the proceedings to an
interested group OF friends OF the new

pure African descent, whose face was, win

The Louisa NeuS and Farmer says:
, It's done But General Malone has made
mistake. According to our reckoning
William e. Cameron is not the strongest
man among Readjusters. Forty thousand
Democratic majori,y in Virginia will not
allow Republican United States Marshal
John L. Lewis TO become Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor; nor will they endorse Frank ).
Bai's sentiments OF honor. Upon the
whole, we consider this about as weak
ticket as they could have put before the
people.
The Norfolk Landmark SAYS; Richmond
has one regiment. LyncbbuIg. Danyille,

Then Staunton and other Valley towns will

Dounced, aud we have no doubt OF their
authenticity. Meantime Norfolk, Ports.

justers will tight hard. they are in pc
GUITAR fix, and defeat in the coming election

the procee dings OF the Coalition COnven-
ton this morning more space than we gene
rally allot to such matters 1t is the last
tribute that we shall have an opportunity Of
paying 10 a suicided political organization,
and we elect that it shall be respectful in

The Rockingham Old Commonwealth
says: The platfOrm--a Mahcne Convention

tory.
