four delegates at large tn Chicago. The
principal fight was between Sewell and
Robson. All sorts Of stories were cir

state begging leading local republicans
to vote for him. Robeson sent out
circular warning the delegates not to
support Sewell, because the latter had
defended Fitz John Potter. A platform
was adopted, endorsing Arthur's admin.
istration. The four delegates at large.
and the fourteen district delegates were
not instructed, but they are understood

A colored man about 60 years Of age,
blind in one eye and walking with a
cane, hobbled up stairs into the Office

the lawyer.

e; Railroad Racket in Randolph,

Randolph county is being thoroughly
stirred up Just now by an earnest canvass
in behalf Of subscription by the, county
to the capital stock ofilthe. Grafton 4
Grccnbrier railroad. The vote will BIO
taken at the November election on d pro-
posal to subscribe $4,000. The county
has already subscribed $4,000, in consid-
eration OF which the company agrees to
finish the road to Beverly, about twelve
miles from the Barbour county line! The
company now asks that this subscrip.
ton be Increased to s05,0OO, md agrees
il this is done to build the road to Hut
louisville, about twelve miles beyond
BoAcrly. The road is now in successful
operation to Philippi, and as the Ran
dolph people seem to bealive to thcirinter-
es,s, it has n good prospect Of having its
cars running to Huttonsyille before the
end OF 1885. 1t will then have rich and
extensive territory to draw from, with
still richer and more extensive fields be-
yond bidding for its further extension.
