Political Notes.
The Democratic convention at Tappa-
hammock, Tuesday, nominated by acclama-
ton, Judge Geo. T. Garrison, of Acco-
mack, the present congressman from that
district. There wers enthusiastic speeches
from Judge Gunter of Accomack ; E. E.
Meredith, Prince William Judge Cool
rick, fredericksburg; MIR. Ball. Northum-
berland Hon. T. C. Walston, of North
ampton and Judge Christian of Mathews,
and all indications point to the reelection
OF the nominee. ,.-
The duplicated Hampton convention on
Tuesday, nominated Harry Libby, a
merchant of Hampton, who is by no means
= strong candidate. Phoebus. the proprie-
tor Of the Hygeia at Old Point, backed
out because the negro delegates to the
convention claimed his hospitality. 1t was
white man or "nigger" with Phoebus. and
he let the "nigger" 90, and Malone then
lost the Hygeia landlord s 800 900, and lost
his congressman to boot. -
In the same district Dezendorf talks very
independently, and says:
II desire to say that the Administration
has not offices enough. nor Is there money
enough in the Treasury of the United
States to induce me to withdraw"
"The Hampton convention is not Re-
publican convention. and cannot, there
fore, nominate a candidate who has any
claim upon she support Of Republicans.
We have laid away one of it's nominees and
are ready for the next.''
The Rocky Mount Convention which
was In session last week at the time of our

alition which will put Cabell in and give
the district to Massey.
Col. Abe Fulkerson. Massey aud New
berry, spoke at Abingdon, Monday. to all
immense crowd. Col. Fulkersou arraign-
cd :Mahone as being one-man power des-
pot; charged him with duplicity to his par
ty and the people, and with the effort to
barter his party away to Arthur for 1884.
in order to saddle himself on Virginia,
and perpetuate himself IN power to her ev-
srlasting detrlment." He closed by an
nouncing himself candidate for Congress,
ready to test whether the people would be
led by Nah one into Radicalism. Having
introduced Mr.. Massey. he retired amid
great applause.
Massey and New berry sustained them.
selves we'll and carried the crowed with
them. Another candidate has come in to
take chances in the Ninth District. Capt.
H. Il. Dodsen, who is Straight-out Re-
publican, thinks he can slip in between
Bowen, Fulkerson and Newberry. Dod-
son is, We think, hotel keeper at Tazwell
Court House.

ia. and for some years consistent Repub-
lican, has been turned out of the post
office at Culpeper, 10 made way for u Ma
hone man. Geo. Is. Krouse, editor of the

W. Daniel, Hon. J. r. Tucker, Gen. Kemp
or and Extra Billy Smith, all old tried and
true Democrats, have announced their in

Democrats can stomach Mr.. Massey why
should the small fry bold back, and by so
doing give vote to clustering Johnnie
Wise, a Malone Arthur Republican.
According to the Washington pest"
