GOOD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 10 me
SENATORIAL cOYyENTfoN-A DISCUSSION
correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatchi
CHARLES CITY COUNTY. September III.
Yesterday. our County-C0urt day, was
one of unusual interest, and large crown
assembled. ,.,..os
from this county and New Kent met 10
nominate candidate for the House Oh
Deleo ates. As telegraphed you, Mr.. John
d. OdelI, Of New Kent county, was unan-
imously nominated. The selection was
the very best and gave satisfaction 10 all
wings of our party.
Mr.. Odell Is a member OF the State Cen
trail Committee from the Second district,
an energetic worker, and has always peeh
on the winning side in his county ana dis-
trict. Not believing the debt OF virginia
was properly adjusted under the fundihg
bills. he went into the Readjuster move
ment vigorously Gas he does into everything
he takes hold of, was county chairman OF
their party, / think certainly their most
effective and active worker, and on an
occasions one OF their foremost men. But
he was always true Democrat; true 10
the cause and the colors he followed
from 1901 to '65," true to his white
brethren, and true to Virginia, ana
he did not propose to deliver her to the
Republican party or TO negro rule: Wneh
the debt was settled on the basis OF the
Riddleberger bill he refused to follow Ma
hone to the Republican camp, and joined
himself with his white brethren in the
effort to restore his State to her once proud
position in the sisterhoOd Of States. HIS
course may be taken as an indication OF
the fact that the white people OF New Kent
are beginning TO see through the tricks OF
the willy leaders who have sold and now
are attempting 10 deliver them TO their life
long and bitter enemies and oppressors.
Odell will get fully three fourths OF the
white vote OF New Kent.
wv TinsIey, the former delegate from
the district, is out as an independent candi-
date, and Mr.. l.. NJ. Nance is the Read
ulster nominee.
A mass-meeting OF the Democrats was
held, and the following gentlemen appoint
ed delegates to convention to be held at
Williamsburg on the 18th to nominate q
candidate for the Senate from our district:
From Harrison district, X. III. Anderson
and l.. A. Marston; Tyler district, Edward
Wilcox; Chickahominy district, Thomas
]. Petit and w. +. Walker, and iIom the
county at large, A. c. Hill.
A discussion took place in the afternoon
and was engaged in by Mcssrs. V. Walden
and Ed. Waddill, Jr.. for the Republicans,
and Marshall NJ. Gillian. OF your city, and
Judge Isaac Ii. Christian for the Demo-
Gratis. | would like TO report the discus
sion. which was more than satisfactory TO
us, but time forbids.
There never was corporaPs guard OF
Resdjusters in Charles City, and they are
about to give up the ghost. Wen surely
send up good account in November.

Professor Thomas n. Conrad, the tra-
yelling political president OF Blacksburg
College, spoke here by appointment last
night to an assembly consisting OF negroes
and few white men He had met
Mr. r. T. Barton. our Democratic nomi-
nee for the House Of Delegates, at
Front Royal on last Monday night. Even
Coalitionists who were present mt that
meeting admit that the discussion between
Professor Conrad and Mr.. II. Il. Barton
was most uncomfortable for the former.
Mr.. Barton silenced him so completely
that he failed to reply. although called OH
by Mr.. Barton repeatedly to do so. Per-
sons present say he only seemed anxious
for the ordeal to close. The chairman OF
the Democratic committee sought from the
Coalition chairman division Of time
again for Barton with Professor Il. n.
Conrad last night The answer to the
was delayed until a. NJ.
Pierce. the Coalition chairman, had time
to hear from the Professor. The CORE
spondence in regard to arranging the diyi-
sion OF time is given herewith:
