FLUVANNA.

DEMOCRATIC COMMON
wEALTH's ATTORNEY REFUTEs A sLANDEI-
THE ELECTION AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
FLUvANNA COURTHOUSE, May 20, 1888.
The County Court yesterday had about
its usual attendance OF whites, with some
what over the average OF blacks on account
of the interest which centered in the eX-
pected trial Of two Of that color. During
recess for dinner the Hon. A. A. Gray, who
had lust been elected Commonwealth at
torney, arose and satisfactorily refuted
some insinuations evoked by the recent
canvass rejecting on his loyalty to the
Democratic party. Having been assigned
the office OF commemorative attorney by
the Readiuster court after the death OF
Colonel Tutwiler Qhe only one OF our
county lawyers who was a Readjuster). and
having at the late election received some
support from the Coaitionists, in common
with his two Democratic competitors for
the office, some over-zealous canvassers
distorted his political position into par
TALLY for that party, Of which he had
on all proper occasions expressed his I'M
qualified disapproval. Having proven a
non Sequiter and given a review Of
the Democratic party, Mr.. Gray closed his
remarks with feeling tribute of thanks TO
the voters whose ballots had so decisiYely
remanded him TO the Office OF attorney for
the Commonwealth.
The court is i'm session again to-day for
the trial OF Nelson Lewis (colored) on an
Indictment for having stolen horse from
Professor j. n. Perkins on the Goth OF
March last. As | close my letter the evil
dence seems to point to the penitentiary as
the prisoners next clearinghouse. II is
generally conceded, in this section at least,
that stealing has been conducted on larger
and holder scale since the abolition OF the
whipping-post.
The majority OF II. S. Campbell, can
Gidate for sheriff against DR.. Walton, the
nominee OF the Coalition Convention, Is
officially given as 3SS. The candidates for
commissioners OF the revenue nominated
by the same Convention were defeated by
a majority OF over 500. The race for the
sheriffalty was, however, more strictly a
party one. In 1881 Cameron's majority in
the county was POI. II these figures do
not entitle Fluyanna to the claim Of " BAN
ner county" for reversing Mah0ne's guns,
full returns and an official count is required
by this deponent.

The Big Change I'm Essex.

An Essex correspondent writes The Of
fetal vote today showed change since
November Of 767 upon a very full vote.
This is unprecedented in this county. The
Coalitionists held in every par: OF the county
primary meetings; sent delegates to q
regular convention; nominated unani.
mously their candidates, and there was
not jar in their whole proceedings.
