tion of Alliance Men.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
BUCKINGHAM COUNTY. July 1s.-There was
q meeting Of the County Alliance at the
courthouse Yesterday TO consider the
property of the Alliance making nomina-
tions for the next Senate and House or
Delegates. There was considerable diyi-
sion of sentiment on this subject. After
thoroughly discussing the matter this
question was submitted to q vote and 1t
was decided that II was inexpedient at
present for the Alliance to recommend the
nomination of Alliance men.
LINE OF POLICY.
The opinion is current in the county
that the State Alliance. which will meet IN
your city about the 18th of August. will
indicate n line of policy TO be pursued
throughout the State for the coming cam
vass this fall
DIVIDED.
The third-party movement was dis
cussed and many of our prominent farm
ers are much divided on this question, but
the most conservative element are inclined
to think that the great Democratic party
will rally to us, and we can act IN concert
for our general good.
The seasons are favorable and the crops
are making good progress. Most of the
wheat is housed or threshed. As far as re-
ported the yield from the threshing of
wheat is less than expected.
There is some talk about candidates for
the Senate and House, and the Republi-
cans say they do not wish to make any
nominations, and are anxious that the ALI
ance shall do SO.
