Correspondence Of the Richmond Dspatch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June 9.-The
Charlottesville Chronicle will publish
tomorrow an interview with the Hon.
s. v. SouthalI, OF this place, delegate
10 the Democratic convention. and q
staunch supporter OF the nomination OF
Mr.. Cleveland, if the New York factions
can be harmonized on his candidacy.
Mr., Southall was prominently spoken OF
as one OF the delegates at large to the
Chicago convention. When asked what
he thought OF the Syracuse convention,
he replied "that the convention made a
great mistake and missed great oppor-
tunity." -,
:" NV impression has always been, ="
continued Mr.. Southall, "that the true
object of the movement which culmi-
mated in that convention WAS to protest
against the February convention and to
demonstrate the fact that Senator Hill
was not the choice Of majority, much
less of the unanimous New York Demo
cracy. In my opinion the object of the
movement was accomplished long be-
fore the meeting Of the protesting
convention. The popular uprising
had demonstrated that Senator Hill
was not the choice of the Democracy
of New York. This being the case, it
was only necessary to recognize accom-
plished facts-to recognize the delega-
ton appointed by the Albany conven-
ton as they recognized their electoral
ticket and then content themselves with
issuing an appeal for harmony. With
no hard words for Senator Hill and his
followers, they might have cited the I'M
disputed fact that outside OF New
York he (HilD had no following,
and pointing to the astonishing uprising
under the most adverse circumstances
of the Democratic masses throughout
the country in favor of Grover Cleye-
land, they might have appealed to all
factions not to baulk the enthusiasm oil
the people, but to recognize and bow to
their will by the nomination OF the uni
versal favorite.
"Such an appeal might in my iudg-
ment have resulted in taking out OF the
way of Mr.. Cleveland the only stun
bling block that can defeat his nomina'
ton at Chicago-viz., the embittered
factional fight in the Empire State. The
action of the convention in appointing q
cAptesting delegation can do no good
and may do much harm. IL persisted IN
it can only result in intensifying the I'm.
fortunate factional strife in New York,
which, as l have said. alone stands in the
way OF Mr.. Cleveland's nomination.
"What will be the action Of the con
vention on this contest?" asked the
reporter. II do not know, l can only
say that in my opinion they should moi
be recognized as contestants. Whateve,
may be said OF the February convention
it was perfectly regular. and the delega
ton appointed by it is clearly entitled te
be seated"
