many touching virtues in the so-called
negro dialect. Dialect stories" of this
kind have had a great run" in the
North. partly by reason of intrinsic merit,
but chiefly because of the special in
tercst felt there in the Southern negro,
and because the stories gre often told in
such a way as to make the Southern
white man suffer by contrast with the
colored hero The leading fault, however,
of the Southern writer's here referred to
is that they depict only the oddities aud
monstr0sities of Southern society, ana
those in an exaggerated way. AS they
ignore the ninety-nine hundredths of the
Southern people-who. after all. are like
the people of other enlightened countries,
Southern writer's are thus unintenuon-
ally traducing their neighbors and mis-
leading their Northern readers. They
are rot solving the problem of the great
ness of the South. They are merely be-
lifting it. Their patriotism ought. per
haps. to induce them to select fresh
topics and thus attack the real question.

MartinsviIIe. Va. Sept. 1.-Special.--
The Third party convention was called
to order shortly after noon in the court
room to-day, and G. l.. Richardson, OF
this, county, made temporary chairman.
His speech was an arraignment OF both
old parties. and highly eulogistic of the
Peoples party. The convention adopted
the Omaha platform, and Calvin Martin
was made permanent chairman. The
convention was evidently ut sea as TO
candidate, but after much delay and
speaking, they settled upon their perma-
ncnt chairman, Calvin Martin, of Frank
lin county, and nominated him. Mr.. Mar
tin was not a candidate for the office. and
did not seem much elated at the doubtful
honor conferred upon him. He has no
capacity as a speaker, and is plain and
unassuming farmer. and has heretofore
been an earnest and consistent Demo
crat The convention was composed OF
ABOUT fifty delegates mostly from the
counties east of Blue Ridge, and the
delegates were taken almost equally
from the old parties. | am inclined TO
the opinion that the Republican part Of
the Third party will quietly decamp TO
Harrison by the time the election rolls
around and leave the deluded Democrats
to suffer the sinking fortunes Of our
devoted Brother Weaver. The Repub-
leans hold their convention on the list
of September, and at this time it is inn
possible to say whether they will put
candidate in the field or not. Unless
Malone interferes, am inclined to believe
that they will put man in tie held.
