Two Sets of Delegates Asharp Trick Played
Upon the Negroes.


Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
BOYDToN, VA, August 26, 1884.
There was a split in the Republican
meeting here yesterday, and two sets OF
delegates were appointed-one for Brady
and the other for DOdson tnegro). II is
stated that the crowd stood $50 for Dodson
to ZIG for Brady by actual count. Still the
party managers sent Brady delegates.
There is very great dissatisfaction among
the Dodson men, and one Of them told your
correspondent that they would vote for a
Democrat in preference to Brady.
The action Of the leaders was the most
shameful ever witnessed here. A division
was called for some purpose, the Brady
men going one side and the DodsOn men
the other side Of the court-sqaare. and
while they were thus separated the plrty
leaders-W. A. Jameson chairman-called
the meeting to order in the Brady crowd
and named Brady delegates of course. The
Dodson men then held their meeting and
named their men. One Of the party lead
ers admitted the sharp practice to your corr
respondent but said DodsOn stood no
chance ANYHOW.

A Decided Disposition 10 Kick In Elizabeth
City.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispa,ch.I
HAMPTON, August 2J, 1884.
The Republican county meeting was held
to-day, and in hoipt OF noise and confusion
would compare fay0rably with any ever
held although II is believed that the palm
for that kind OF a convention Is held by the
body which nominated Judge Spalding in
1889. After four hours OF uproar the DEL
egates (sevcn) were elected, and they were,
on motion. instructed for Hon. II. Libbey as
their first choice. There is a disposition
among the delegates TO kick agains, said III
struction, some say they will vote as they
please.
A resolution was adopted approving the
efforts being made to barmonize the two
wings OF the party, and for the withdrawal
OF both tickets and putting up q new set OF
electors. For wonder no resolution was
offered endorsing Malone, Blaine. and Lo-
gan. HAMPTON

met at Yorktown yesterday 10 send dele
gates to the Hampton Convention. and
proved one OF the most noisy and turbulent
gatherings ever held in the county. The
Republicans OF the county are divided into
two factions. The Norton brothers head
one wing. and ex-Collector Mitchell (col-
ored), who was turned out OF the York
custom-house because he favored Blaine for
the presidency, leads the other. A white
man named Lackey was made chair
man, and as soon as the Convention
was opened fighting commenced, and
was kept up for fully two hours.
Pistols were drawn and knives and clubs
were freely used. Finally the two factions
were separated, the room divided of and
separate conventions held in the same
room, sending two sets OF delegates. After
the adjournment Of the Convention the
fighting was renewed on the outside OF
the building and in the streets. One OF
the colorcd Mahoneites in attendance said,

HOW TO HAVE PLENTY OF FLOWERS TN

WINTER.
Look on this picture, and on tbisn
Storm, seet and snow without. Allaround
is. the death like desolation that prevails
when winter is firmly seated on his lev
throne, Within doors, there is tho bright
ness Of luxuriant foliage; the glow fpink,
white and scarlet blossoms; the balmy
fragrance Of scented leaves and flowers
and the grace of clinging vines and trailing
creepers. Who does not like the latter
picture best, and what is needed to make
it living reality in our homes? In the
first place, a love for the work in the
second, constant attention to trifes.
They not only make the "sum Of human
things" but the secret Of success in foriss
culture. have learned, from success
-ful experience Of many years, that you can
make almost any plant bloom in winter by
managing it properly in autumn, and it is
your attention given then that is rewarded
iby plenty Of flowers in December and
January. Set aside the Heliotropes, &C.
raniums, etc., for winter blooming about
the last Of August; prune them severely
don't let your tender heart betray you
into leaving too many branches, and re-
pot, or give rich top-dressing, as is
needed; place them in partial shade,
give little water, and pinch off buds if any
appear, until the second week in October,
then give sunlight, liquid manure, daily
attention, and by the time winter sets in,
they will be well set with buds and in such
notion to flower, that they will keep up
the resolution all winter.
+ The SALIVA splendens is one Of the best
of winter boomers when managed pro-
perly, otherwise, is not worth the earth it
grows in. Don't take up the old plant
that has Haunted its scarlet plumes in your
face all summer, but root a slip in July, or
take up a backward plant that has bloomed
but little from the garden. Pot about the
middle Of September, and prune off all
but four or five branches, plant in moder-
ately rich soil with top-dressing Of
charcoal, keep in the shade only one week
after potting, then give it all the sun you
can't will not bear Shade-and it will
