The OPENING Of The Ball.
I. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY CRAIG AND EX-
AUDITOR s. BROWN ALLEN,
GIVE The KICKERS SOMETHING
TO THINK ABOUT,

On Saturday last the Republican county
and city conventions assembled to select
delegates to the Norfolk convention. Z
S. District Attorney Craig, County Chair
man for Augusta, called the county conven
ton to order. The attendance both of del
egates and spectators was large, but there
were missing many faces familiar at such
meetings. MI. Craig read the list of dele
gates certified to him by the Precinct Chair
men, as having been elected at the precincts
on the Thursday preceding.
Mr.. Jno. A. Noon, Deputy Collector Of
Internal Revenue, a Malone man, nomi
mated Capt. E. A. Fulcher a Malone MAJ
for Chairman, and he was unanimously
elected. Mr.. G. w. Slower Malone MAJ
was then elected Secretary. On the plat
form near the chairman sat that active
Mahoneite, VIM. II. Peyton, who SO sue
cessfully steered through the violent meet
ing Of last fall, still keeping his eye on the
rudder in case of q storm.
Ex-Auditor s. Brown Allen moved that {
committee consisting Of two from each dis
trict and ward be appointed tosuggest names
tor delegates to Norfolk. MI. G. A. Roller
seconded the motion and it was adopted
The following committee was appointed by
the Chair:
S. B. Allen, J. d. Rogers, c. A. Roller,
J. A. Noon, j. d. Levin, G.. W. Fisher, Il.
J. Bateman, r. A. Martin, A. j. Curry,
M. Blakemore, Jacob Steele and B.
Cardwell.
SPEECH FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY
CRAIG.
While the committee to suggest dele
gates to Norfolk, was out, there were loud
cries for Mr.. Craig, and he took the stand.
ing a speech The Democrats had made
their nominations and the Republicans
were about to make theirs. Last Fall
after a holly contested campaign, and
though the Democrats defrauded them at
the ballot box, the Republicans in a,yote of
300,0 600 came within l 800 of carrying the
State. And that, While the Democrats had
the National Administration to back them
Now it is all changed the Republicans
have the Administration and the Demo
Gratis are out. There are now four new
States in the Union, and no matter how
New York goes in 1892 the Republicans
will carry the Presidential election, fol
these new States will keep the Republican
party in power for twenty-five years to
come (applause.) AS sure as the sun rises

be Governor Of Virginia. The
DEMOCRATS ARE DEMORALIZED
and John S. Barbour, their Chairman, fore
seeing the coming defeat in Virginia, has
given up his position. The Democratic
nominee at Richmond, Mckinney, has Oeen
running for Office all his life and never been
elected to anything higher than a little
member of the legislature. He has been SO
anxious for office that when he couldn't get
it under Democrats he took it under Re
publicans. He is a man that cannot be
elected to anything by the people. Their
platform is the same old rehash that they
give every year. They have got some hope
from
III IpIoNo IN IL eEI oLICaN IAhl i.
We saw how that worked last year. We Re
publicans had what was called then ''dis-
graceful" meeting in this courthouse,
through internal divisions, but after the NOM
ination all was buried and all rallied to the
flag. That will be repeated this year; when
the day Of election comes no Republican
will dare stand back and not go forward to
the polls and vote the ticket. This talk of
division only serves to nerve QUIZ arms to
greater strength, and bring out the vote of
our party. We need have no fear Of any
Republican in Augusta not coming up an(
voting the ticket. Complaints have been
made Of ''boss" and ''bossism." Malone
had the power to call these county conven
lions in the old way, but as some objected
to that way, Malone in his desire to defea
the Democrats, went to the National Re
publican Committee and said here is tn
form that has been used by the party il
Virginia in the past, now formulate one t.
suit yourselves. No man dare say tina
this convention is a packed one nor can i
be said of that at n Norfolk. While the Dem
ocrats have their divisions on the Tariff
and Internal Revenue-the last of which g
Republican Senate begged a Democratic
House of Representatives to abolish, bu
which they didn' t do for fear of Cleveland
veto-there are practically no division
among Republicans. Those who We're op
posed to the nomination at Lexington las
Fall went to the polls and did their dut
like men. (applause). Therefore, this yea
We will demand and expect of the men VIII
who opposed us then, that they will com
up and do as we did then, (applause).
