The contest for the local Offices in Prince
George county promises to be one OF very
interesting character next spring. The
Democrats are certain of victory and the
Republicans, who have so long held con-
troll of the county offices, are already
frightened and apprehensive of defeat.
OPPOSED TO THE THIRD PARTY.
Ala meeting of the Dinwiddie County
Alliance held this week resolution was
adopted opposing the Third Party Move
ment," the Alliance believing that the
farmers. by acting as O balance of power,
can best secure necessary reforms through
one of the regularly organized political
parties. 1t may in truth be said that the
proposed third party finds little or nc
countenance or support among the farmers
of Virginia, who are naturally Democratic.
and who believe that the Democratic party
will afford them the relief they need.
The Dinwiddie Alliance also appointed
committee to examine into the county Of
fairs. with q view to secure such legisla-
ton as will tend to curtail county e1.
penses. Resolutions were adopted also II
approval and support Of the Petersburg
Alliance Exchange. ROBIN ADAIB.
