PETERSBURG, VA, May Is, 1888.
Politics is about the only subject OF In
terest discussed here at this time. The meet.
ing al the Democratic State Convention al
Norsolk "a. morrow and tho meeting OF the
Republican State Convention In this city on
the day following furnish themes for discus
sion which are In the mouths OF all citizens.
The delegates to the Norfolk Convention
from this city and adj icent collnties lett this
evening. They all go uninstructed, but II Is
understood that they generally favor sending
delegates 10 81. Louis who favor the renoml-
nation Of President Cleveland.
II the anti.unit rule men determine TO
make fight in the Republican State Conven-
ton With the view OF submitting to the ma
iority, after giving expression to their views,
they are destined to overwhelming defeat.
IL has been predicted that John :.
Wise, Ex-Governor Cameron, Colonel James
y. Brady, Congressman Iost, senator
Riddeberger, aud other anti.unit rule men
who might obtain admission TO the cOnVen-
ton as delegates or alteruates would not be
allowed to give full expression 10 their
views. OF this nothing certain can be said.
Probably they will IL they go in with the AS
surance Of submitting to the viii OF the
majority. Already some doubts are eX.
pressed as 70 the backbone OF
some OF the antl-Mahone delegates.
But there are others who will as.
sert themselves and their principles, and
who will fight maaiulIy 10 the bitter end.
A convenient hall has been secured here for
The headquarters Of the anti Malone dele
gates, and banner Inscribed with the
words, 4" Headquarters OF the Opponents OF
the Unit Rule" will be thrown to the
breeze. II is understood that stirring adj
dress will be adopted by these delegates and
published to the Republicans Of Virginia.
After hearing evidence and argument Tor

tain Democratic citizens against four police
officers and four Republicans for an alleged
breach Of the peace on resistration-day, the

The Franklin Meeting

We would say 10 the Portsmouth, Record
that the point we made in the case OF the
Franklm.eounty meeting was not as TO
whether the Presidents policy was en-
dorsed or not, but that that the Tariff Re-
formers declired TO adopt o resolution cal
culated though not intended to divide the
Democrats Of Virginia on a question less
important than that OF preserving the civil.
zation Of the southern States. The Democrats
OF Franklin county endorsed Mr.. CLRvE-
LANDS policy ia general terms, as every
true southron must, but It does not follow
that they sgree with him Ia his opposition to
the BLAIR bill, or his opposition to the silver
policy Of the Democratic party, or his oppO-
sitiOn 10 abolishing the tax on fruit-brsndies
and tobacco. The Roanoke Convention Of
last year endorsed Mr.. CLEVELAND's Admin.
strAtion az follows:
LIST. The wise, conservative, fearless, and
honest Administration OF Grover Cleveland,
President Of the United States, deserves aud
will receive the cordial support OF the Demo
Gratis Of Virginia.
II tue Records theory be right, the Demo-
Gratis assembled at Roanoke In adopting the
above resolution committed themselves to
the support Of the Presidents ciyiLseryice
reform policy; bis silver policy; his al.
legged opposition to the BLAIR bill; his peck
et.yeto Of the river and harbOr bill; and 10
any and every measure that the President
was known TO favor. But the Roanoke Con.
ventlon did not 30 understand its duty and
It's privileges. On the contrary, It adopted
the following:
