he Booker Ellis. prominent and intiuen-
tial colored politician of theNouuty. who,
n is said. has announced his intention OF

nv n large number Of the negroes of the
county. OF course efforts viii be made 20
heal the Republican differences IN the
county. but the Job will be a hard one and

The two Republican candidates Tor inc
Senate in the Dinwiddie. Grocncsyllie, ana
Sussex district claim each TO toe the re$u-
lar nominee. and here a serious dihcGity
presents itself, which threatens success IN
n strong Republican district. Suggestions

Convention. and the further suggestion
Is made that General Malone VIII an
taronize judge X. W. Afnold-onc OF tue
nominees and his whilom pet candidate TOT
Congress as against John NJ INlgs'pn.
