ED-DIsGUsT OF sTRAIGHToUT REPUBLICANS.
Correspondence of THE STAR.l
FALLS CHURCH. Va, August 5th, 1881.
The primary meeting here to choose delegates
to the county republican convention, chose
Julius Windsbecker. John Greed. J. NJ. Thorn
F. f. Foote (col.) }. j. 4. Enge and Chas. Fits.
Nothing was said In regard to straightout re-
pubiicanism nor coaescing. Windsbecker and
Thorn were not at the court house on conyen-
tion day. and Engle, who is not a voter here,
but has been quite lively meddling with other
peoples affairs in politics, was ruled out 10y the
convention, and Fits cast the three votes i'm
favor of trailing in, In the rear of Mahones fac
ton. Do yon suppose there were no straghtout
republicans on the county delegation? Don't be
deceived!
But the fight was made at the court house
without any organized or instructed republicans
to fight with SO far as most of the districts were
concerned. A question was raised regarding
the admissibilty of two delegates who had never
voted the republican ticket, but the tail-men to
Malone voted them in.
/ am little ahead of things In the convention,
There were some thirty delegates i'm all. They
went through the agony of two organizations.
Mr.. G. N. Thomas was both temporary and per.
manent chairman; Chas. Fits was temporary
and j. n. Tr0th permanent chairman.
Major o. +. Hines presented the following:
"ResOtued, That the republicans of Fairfal
county are unalterably opposed to a Reputation
Virginia either in the guise of readjustment on
Of elimination"
B. w. Clark offered an amendment so as to
make the resolution read ''any portion of the
just public debt, etc.
Major Hines made, it is said, a rousing speech,
but the spoilsmen carried the amendment by
viva voce vote, SO that what was the real
strength of the two parties could not be really
told. What an idea it is to send Foote to repre-;
sent any body in a state convention! Clark has
received his reward for apostasy to republican.
ism in an appointment as post Office agent The
truth is solid. Republicans see nothing to be
made at present i'm wasting time in politics. But
these incouuptibies will appear after MANY
days.
