DeIegates Elected to n Senatorial Conven-
tion--The Farmers Smiling and Happy.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
GoocHLAyD COURTHOUSE, Va. August
IA Democratic mass-meeting was held
at the courthouse to-day pursuant TO call
by Chairman A. \. Monteiro to nominate
delegates TO the senatorial convention TO
be held ia Manchester on the 9Th OF Sep
tember: The following delegates were
elected:
Dover District: Hal. Bowles and Thomas
Nuckals.
Lickinghole District P. G.. Miller and
Charles II. Powell.
Byrd District: George II. Turner and T.
Nj. Parrish.
At Large: A. X. Leake and A. X. Mon
teiro.
The delegates 60 uninstructed, as there
is no likelihood that Goochland man will
be before the convention for senatorial
honors.
George II. Jewett, Esq, of Manchester,
was on the grounds today, and was warn-
ly greeted by many friends and admirers.
His claims to the nomination for the SEN
ate are being enthusiastically urged by his
numerous supporters here.
GOOD CROP PROSPECTS,.
In talk with farmers from all sections
of the county to-day there was consen-
sus of opinion among them that the crop
prospects are better now than they have
been known for q number of years. Re-
freshing rams have fallen during the last
two months whenever needed. and the
corn and tobacco product IL likely 10 be
larger than it has been for the last ten
wears past. Everything IS lovely and the
good people of Goochland smiling and
happy.
PRoTGACTED MEETING.
Rev. Joseph Reynolds OF Manchester,
and Rev. Willis Reynolds, of Cumberland
county. are conducting protracted meet
ing at Oakland Baptist church. in Louisa
county, near the Goochland line. On yes
terdav there was an immense congregatlo
TO hear these distinguished divines. and
the services will continue during the en-
tire week.
County Court was in session to-day but
no business OF Importance was transacted.
AN ENTITY JAIL.
The Jail is empty of criminals and crime
unusual in the county. Another fact
noticeable by all observers Is the dimlnu-
ton of drunkenness at the courthouse on
court-days. A few years ago IL WAS not
uncommon to see half dozen or more
drunken men on the court-green at such
times, but now there can scarcely betOund
more than one or possibly two OF such I'M
fortunates.

THF NEWSPAPERS.
After correcting some errors that SEEM
ingly exist at the North. and touching on
the negro and their separate alliances, he
paid his respects 10 the newspapers and
reporters. "Why, only about a year ago
the newspapers in this State learned TO
spell the word alliance. and scarcely ever
printed anything about the organization.
Now they were eager TO PRINT anything
about their body. They had just learned
TO spell his name correctly, and had an
immense quantity of advice To give and
suggestions 10 make to the farmer and his
Alliance. The papers practically advised
the farmer TO make his hog and homIny'
and they would do the engineering, which
had the effect to greatly upset him. was
born and baptized III the Democratic
party. Now they want to kick me out OF
II, but IL Is not IN the power of the leaders
or tricksters 10 do so. and l propose to
stay IN IL as long as II does its duty" He
then reviewed the history Of the Alliance
from its organization IN Texas TO the pres
ent time, affirming that n was started on
the principles rs laid down by the founder
OF this great institution (the Universlty),
who favored government for the peo-
pie and by the people. The Alliance
possessed no secrets except such as were
necessar. for all large organizations, and
none they were ashamed of, and If tho
reporters will let us alone wewill publish
them in our own good time" Equal
justice 10 all was the fundamental princi-
Pile of the Alliance. and I'VE are now
recognized as The power in this land. |
am constantly receiving letters from news
paper-men wanting my views on the po-
litical significance of the Alliance, but l
do not intend 10 diyulge the secrets of our
order. When was an humble citizen the
papers did not seek NV advice. now they
are anxious for it. The statement that
the Alliance was seeking 20 pull down any
political party was false. Its members arc
free to vote as they please. but We hand
down our wants and demands and they
must be respected. No clique or court
house ring can ever again control the
farmer. We intend 10 make the world
realize the power Of the vast majority"

The vitality of Mormonism In spite Of the
determined effort that has been made 10 di-
minsh its strength is one of the most curious
features of theHpresent time. Never before
have the missionaries Of the Mormon Church
been more active, persistent or successful in
beating up recruits in foreign countries. At
tention was called some months ago by the
New York papers to the large number Of
female converts who had been secured in
Norway and Sweden. and who were passed
by the inspectors of immigrants in New York
city, although the character of these Scandina-
Wan women was well known, and there was
definite information as to their point of desti-
nation in tho West.
The Norman missionaries appear TO have
been equally successful in their proselyting
crusade in Great Britain in spite Of the stricter
manners and more elevated moral tone that
prevails among the great body Of the people
there. So active have these missionaries
been, more particularly in Lancashire and
Yorkshire that the local municipal authori-
ties and county officials have been compelled
to interdict them, and when their attempts to
put stop TO the Mormon crusade have been in
effectual the Government itself has been
forced to interfere.
In some localities the missionaries have
been so open in their operations that the en-
ragged people have risen up against them and
driven them from the ghborhood at the
risk of their lives.
The opposition which has been raised TO
the Mormon propaganda in England has led
those who have this propaganda in charge to
proceed more secretly and furtiyely than at
first. Public meetings are no longer held. but
certain number of missionaries arc assigned
to special distric' whose chief duty consists
in the distribution of tracts among the igno-
rant women in the absence of their husbands.
fathers and sons. These women are after
wards visited and personal persuasion added
to the influence of the printed appeals
The missionaries proclaim their firm belief
in the divine institution of a plurality of
wives. but declare that they will not seek
TO violate the decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States on this point Without
this cardinal principal il is difficult TO SEQ
how the Church is to be held together perms-
nently. but the activity Of the Mormon repre-
sentatiyes abroad would seem 10 show that
the members of this religious organization be-
liovo that it is destined to survive in undi-
minished vigor III spite of the hostility OF the
Gentle element in Utah and the stern opposi-
ton of the law when the Church seeks 20 over
step the line which has been laid down for
il by the courts
