MAHONE'S MEN.

RICHMOND, June 2.-The Readjusters'
Convention met to-day. There are over
700 delegates present, including seventy
five colored men. Paul, in his speech, con-
graduated the delegates upon the proud
position their party holds to-day in the pol
itics of this country. After recess Paul
was made permanent chairman. The COM
mittee on resolutions and platform were
appointed. Gen. Malone was recognized
on the stage and was most enthusiastically
called upon for speech, which was re-
ceived with applause during its delivery
and at the close. Resolutions approving
Gen. Mahone's course in the United States
Senate were adopted unanimously. A plat
form of principles was adopted and the
convention proceeded to the nomination
of candidates for state officers
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-06-03

luton was passed that the roll of counties
be called for the purpose of appointing a
volunteer worker in each township and
county for the dissemination of Greenback
doctrine by pamphlets, etc The roll was
called, resulting IN a volunteer from nearly
every county in the state, who made him
self personally responsible for worker in
each township. Gen. Weaver greatly
aroused the delegates by one of his
earnest and eloquent appeals in two
hours speech, at the close of which the
members arose en- masse and endorsed the
generals utterances with three tremendous
cheers. The state ticket framed to-day is
follows: For governor, the Hon. D. NJ.
Clark, Of Wayne county; for lieutenant
governor, the Hon. James MI. Holland, of
Henry county; for supreme judge, the
Hon. A. D. Abney. of Madison county;
for superintendent of public instruction,
Mrs Mary e. Nash of Des Moines.
A spirited protest went up from the
minority on the last nomination and the
convention was admonished by legal del
egates present that the lady, If elected,
would be prevented under the state law
from fulfilling the duties of that office.
The majority however, declared they
would nominate her if all laws in Christ
endom prevented her election. a reso-
luton was adopted extending the SYM
pathies of the convention to the Land
League of Ireland and to all the down
trodden people of the whole globe.
Another resolution was adopted thank
ing Gov. Plaisted, of Maine, for his
veto of the bill by the Maine Legisla-
ture to incorporate the Casco state bank.
A resolution also passed favoring the
election of the President Vice Presi-
dent and United States Senators by a
direct vote of the people. A resolution
thanking the railroads offering reduced fare
to delegates was lost, and a resolution
stating that the Greenback party makes no
war on legitimate banking was laid on the
table
At meeting of the State Central com
mittee last night Hon. III. L. Weller was
elected chairman and Carter Muffiey secre-
tary of lhe committee for the ensuing
year.
At the close of the afternoon session the
delegates were complimented with parade
of the city fire department, gotten up in
their honor, in which seven companies par
ticipated, headed by the mayor, council
men, bands and fire police The demon
stration ended with a fine display of water
works.
The Greenback convention closes to-
night with speeches by Jesse Harper, of
Illinois, and Hon. NJ. III. Williams, of Mis-
souri,.
