rne Mecklenburg Z eadiuster Meeting.

The Mecklenburg keaoluster NAoo'i"s'
We gave Yesterday report OF the pro-
ceodiucs Of recent RezdIusler meeting IN
king aud Queen. Previously we gave what
the Lsesburg Mirror said as to the recent
Rs9dIuster meeting In Lcudoun. The Lex
ipctou Gaxstte's Colierstown letter states
that six persons composed the late Read
iuster meeting in CollIerstown. The Meek.
ienburg Democrat lets US see the true state
Of The case In Mecklenburg. Here Is the
resolution which Is claimed as an endorse
ment OF General MAuoSE's coalition with
CoxKLIxo, KELLOGG, HoAE, CAMERON, Lo'
GAN Il Co. We quote:
sd. .Tbat our Senator. William Malone,
deserves the thanks Of our party for the
ab,e manner in which he vindicated our
cause and the cause OF our party in the
limited States Senate on the 2SIh day OF
March, 1881"
The Democrat says that The foregoing
resolution did not suit Colonel WILLIAM
TowvEs, Rtaojuster Republican, who Of
tered as a substitute the following. We
omi, the preamble. The resolution says:
Resolred, That General Malone was elect
cd In opposition TO and in defiance Of the
Rourbon Democracy Of Virginia, and that
auy intimafion or insinuation that General
Malone has been untrue 10 those who elect
ed him are fagtious falsehoods, in keeping
with the general record OF our opponents.
That General Malone would have been
false 10 his trust to have acted otherwise
than as be has In the Senate OF the United
Stsies. And we, the Readjusters OF Meek
lenburg, do endorse and ratify his course IN
Congress, and mean 10 stand by MN 10 a
man.
Colenel TowNEs warmly advocated his
resolution. He said that he hoped the
milk.sop" resolution proposed by the
committee simply rendering the thanks OF
the party TO MALONE for speaking well OF
rtadjus,ment on the 18th OF March, but
falling to endorse bin as 10 bis course,
would not be passed
Mr.. THORP replied. He said the meeting
had not been called to endorse General MA.
HONE or any Other man, but TO send dele.
gates TO a convention; that the reference
10 General MALONE in the committees third
resolution was "mcrey by the way, aud
not put there for the purpose Of bolsteriDg
up or whitowashing General MALONE" We
quote from the D(m0crdt:
.Tbat he for ore did not intend 10 tie to
any snan, or endorse what Malone did sim
pig because il was Malone who did 1t; but
he would endorse him when he thought him
right. He said, however, that he did not
think Malone had betrayed the ReSdiuster
party by anything he bad done in Congress,
and that be didn't believe he would. He
wished 10 be distinctly understood as adyo-
eating principles and not men.
"Thc vote was then taken, and Colonel
Townes's substitute lost by large MAORI
fy."
"Colonel Town6s then proposed the name
OF Captain John 5. Wise for Governor in
place OF Colonel CamerOn's; which was not
agreed TO-"
"The meeting was small and quiet; but
little enthusiasm manifested.
"Some $50 or 800 persons present. inclu-
ding Funders and Republicans. only from
so 10 60 persons participated in the meeting.
The evidences are that the Readiusters OF
Meekenburg will repudiate Malone and
Mahopesm. The failure on Monday to
pass Townes's resolutions we think very
significant"
The people saw what the Readiuster HAN
COCK ticket of 1880 was. They will show
themselves TO be equally spacious in 1881,
