tNoRroLK, VA, Oct ESPECIAL. The po-
litical situation in the Second district now
is rs it has never been before. For the first
time since the war the Democrats have

er.l when the wishes OF the farmers were
acceded TO in tie convention at Suffolk yes
terday, and DR.. John w. Lawson was nomi-
mated for Congress unanimously and without
opposition. il was practically allowing the
Alliance 10 name the candidate. Now, in
order 10 elect their candidate, the Alliance
will at once 90 10 work. All colored labor
ers working en- their farms will be organ
lied into coored Farmers Alliances, to
vote for the Alliance standard bearer. Be-
sides pleasing the farmers, the action OF the
Democrats in nominating an Alliance
man has pleased the working men,
and this weeks Labor Advocate, which has
hitherto supported Congressman Bowden,
will come out in an editorial strong for
Lawson. Congressman Bowden's friends
are alarmed at the turn affairs have taken,
and every influence is now to be brought TO
bear on the independent Republicans to
withdraw their nominee for congress,
Judg Murdpugh, from the field. But there
Is only dim prospect OF getting the Old
Confederate soldier TO draw down his
colors.
