R.ouhhenn County Contention.


The Republican County Convention
held at the courthouse in this place
last Saturday was rather slimly al
tended. A full county ticket was
nominated as follows:
House Of Delegates-Jno. ID. Staley
and VIM. E. Anderson.
Circuit Clerk-G. B. LaBoyteau1
County Clerk-W. A. Chapline.
County Commissioners. c. Ia
bier and Owen Vanvacter.
A proposition to reorganize the
County Executive Committee started
a lively discussion, into which numer-
GUS sentences, more forcible than
friendly. were interjected, and the oc-
casion made amusingly interesting to
the Dem ocratic lockers on. Mr.. 3. v.
Yantis. ST., former chairman of the
committee, Ibid not propose to play
the baby act" He believed in all
the Congress of the Z. s. had done
the last session, and would be square
about it." Mr.. Butt was born on
the soil of Virginia and was opposed
TO the Federal election law" Mr..
Koonce did not see anything in the
Lodge Bill Objectionable to either
Democrat or Republican" Col
Black didn't believe Mr., Iantis to be
the right man to be chairman, and
wouldn't vote for him, he was Fed
eral office holder; claimed the right
of independence and wonld criticlse
Congress if he thought it was doing
wrong favored the Mckinley bill
with the exception of the tax on bind
err Irvine, but was opposed to the
Lodge bill" Rev. Burwell, colored,
was opposed to the Lodge bill, and
regarded it as the worst thing for his
race that could be enacted. Things
had been going along smoothly in the
South and the color line being grad
ualIy broken, but such a bill could do
nothing but harm.
DIR. j. F. Hartgrove was elected
Chairman of the County Executive
Committee, and Hamilton Halter,
colored, Secretary. Spirit.

agree to give fifteen acres OF land for
site and $67 200 in cash to the school,
to which is added $4,000 by the
Board of Trustees OF Randolph Macon
College, making $4,000 in all. The
committee could not well decline such
munificent offer, and there was no
hesitaney in locating the school at
Front Royal. The school will be es-
tablished as soon as preliminaries
are arranged.

New York. 1t would, in the opinion Of
many Democrats, however, be quite
hazardous to overlook the Empire state.
If Springer's belief should become gen.
eral in the party it might have very
important bearing on the selection Of
the candidate. Preference has been
given to statesmen from New York, not
on the ground OF their superiority to
public men hailing from other direc-
tions, but on account of their ability to
make that state certain for the Demo-
cratic ticket
The New York World of late date
had some interesting speculations on the
matter. According to the Dunnell plan
of apportionment there will be 442 cleo
toral votes, of which it will require 222
to elect. By another measure it is pro-
posed to increase the membership to 456.
For the purposes of comparison the
Dunnell figures will do. According to
them, if the votes are divided as they
were in 1884 the following table would
represent the result. 1t will be per-
ceived that the Democratic nominee
would be elected, with two votes to
spare:

on $500 ali acre. Mr.. Gird's example
ought to be initiated.

THE Chicago Tribune is trying hard to
persuade the Republican leaders to take
the back track on tariff and sectional
legislation. Mr.. Joseph Medill is very
level-headed man who knows that
when it comes to voting, the "cheap
man in the cheap coat and cheap
trousers" to adopt the sneering Ian
guage of the Republican politicians, is
likely to prove very numerous. The
attempt to shove the Lodge force bill
through congress will apparently be per.
severed in, doubtless son the principle
that whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. The only sensible
thing the Republicans seem to think Of
doing is the passage of bill providing
for the free coinage of silver. Whether
if they should succeed in getting il
through congress, Harrison could be
prevailed upon to sign it, is problem
of grave doubt. AS the principal cause
OF the defeat of the measure at the las,
session was his declaration that he
would veto it if passed, the friends ol
silver should not be too sanguine. The
president is credited with having the
big head.

THE HERALD has heretofore urged the
board of supervisors to publish itemized
accounts not only of all their transac-
tions but of every demand made against
the county. If an official publication of
all the transactions of the board were
laid before the people at frequent inter
walls, there would not only be more
accurate knowledge OF the affairs of the
county spread before the public. but
Irregularities and fraudulent warrants
would be detected at once, and system
of forgeries running over many months
could not possibly occur. The law
authorizes the supervisors to make this
publicity of their transactions, and
their failure to do so in the past has led
to impositions upon the treasury that
might have been avoided.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
THE NEXT CITRUS FAIR TO BE
HELD HERE.
Best Ever Held in the State-The
Proceedings Yesterday.

The board of directors of the chamber
of commerce met yesterday afternoon,
Hervey Lindley in the chair, and di-
rectors W. E. Hughes, w. H. Toler, c..
M. Wells, E. w. Jones, J. Mills Davies,
J. H. Book, J. r. Mathews and DIR. ]. P.
Widney present. iu
Mr.. Wells reported that the special
committee consisting of Secretary Han
chette and himself had visited Sacra-
mento and had secured the location of
the Sixth congressional district citrus
fair at Los Angeles. He introduced the
following resolution, which was adopted i:
Resolved, That the Los Angeles cham
Der OF commerce recognizes the fact that
the relation of the state board of agricul-
ture to the citrus fair held in this city
last March was much misunderstood ami
misconstrued by the public, and that
differences were then drawn rejecting on
the member of the state board selected
as managing director of the said fair,
that we very much regret.
Resolved, further, That in view of the
facts, the chamber fully appreciates the
broad spirit that prompted the said
managing director, Mr.. &. w. Hancock,
to move the selection of Los Angeles as
the place for holding the coming citrus
fair, and appreciates the action of the
board of agriculture in adopting the res
olution offered by MIR. Hancock.
A resolution adopted at the meeting
of the citrus fair committee, asking the
chamber to call meeting of the citrus
fruit growers for the selection of new
committee, was read and adopted.
Mr.. Wells moved that the secretary
be instructed to notify all citrus fruit
growers in the Sixth district that the
meeting will take place in the rooms of
the chamber Wednesday morning next
at 10 O'Clock. Carried.
everal requests that the chamber
purchase advertising matter were read
and referred to the proper committees.
The board then adjourned.
THE CITRUS FAIR.
The executive committee OF the citrus
fair met yesterday, G. M. Wells in the
chair, at the chamber of commerce, and
Messrs. E. German, f. Edward Gray
| Fl. H. Snow and Mr.. Watson present.
Mr.. Watson stated that he represented
Mr.. r. Gird, the managing member oil
the state board of agriculture, and
that Mr.. Gird had been called away
on business connected with the sugar
factory. Mr.. Gird would like to have the
old committee reappointed to take
charge this year, but thought the citrus
fruit growers should have the choice
both in this matter and also as to the
date of the fair.
After some discussion Mr.. German
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That Mr.. Wells be re
quested to appear before the directors o
the chamber of commerce, at thei
meeting to be held this p. M, and re
quest them to call a meeting OF tn,
citrus fruit growers, of the Sixth con-
gressional district, at an early date, for th'
purpose OF selecting an executive com
mittee to take charge of the citrus fair
to be held at Los Angeles in the earl,
part OF 1891.
After some discussion, in which it wa
stated that this fair will be the best eve
held in the state, for several good rea
sons, the meeting adjourned.

In both of these elections New York
decided the result, as she would have
done in 1876 if Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina had not been tampered
with, and Mr.. Tilden counted out. The
vote of the Empire state taken from the
269 Republican column and added to the
Democratic roll, would reduce the Re-
publican majority of 96 to "a. A very
trifling gain would convert these figures
into Democratic majority.
The ground for Democratic hopes lies
in the fact that with the 157 votes of the
solid south the Democratic nominee will
only require 65 votes from the north.
New York will give him SO, Indiana Is,
New Jersey 10, and Connecticut 6-67 in
all, or two more than majority. The
aggregate majorities in the Empire state
on the congressional elections was S8, 900
"a very reassuring figure. Still Cleve-
land carried it by over 1872, 900 and was
afterwards beaten.
Considering recent developments, the
Democrats have solid grounds of hoping
to carry Illinois, with "a votes, Iowa
with 13, Michigan with IA and Wiscon-
sin with IL. The Farmers Alliance has
disorganized the Republican party in all
these commonwealth. 1t would seem
to look sickly for our Republican friends
for even giving them New York, with
these states added to the Democratic
list, the Democratic nominee would have
the exact 224 votes needed to elect him.

THE establishment OF beet sugar fac
tory on an extensive scale ON the Chino
ranch seems to be at last fact i accom-
plished, as will be seen by details given
elsewhere. There is no reason why
these useful and wealth-producing agen-
cies should not grow up here in great
numbers. The percentage of saccharine
matter in beets is very much larger in
Southern California than in any other
portion of this state or in Germany or
France. This is to be expected, as the
same qualities OF sun and soil that give
us the pre-eminence in the sweet wines,
such as port, angelica and sherry, oper-
ate to make the beet unusually rich.
We have not heard much of late about
the project OF starting beet sugar farm
near Redondo, but such farms and sup
Elementary factories ought to spring up
everywhere. Any land that can pro-
duce beets with the proportion of sugar
in them which characterizes that vege-
table here will pay handsome interest

SOME "FIGGERS ON THE NEXT PRESI.
DENTAL ELECTION.

Speculations as to the result of the
next presidential election are already
becoming quite rife. There Is little
doubt as to the victory of the Democracy
amongst intelligent eoole. Hon. Will
liam A. Springer, distinguished
Democrat from Illinois, the other day
expressed to a reporter the opinion that
we could elect the president without
