nate and candidate for Governor Of Vir-
ginia will meet in Shelburne's Warehouse.
in this city. one week from to-day. AL
though very large percentage OF the
delegates from the State at large have
been elected, and the probabilities OF
the Convention seem to be taking almost
positive shape. the interests In the re-
turns are undated, and each selection or
county delegates is looked for almost
as anxiously as they were at the begin
ming OF the campaign.
The committee Of arrangements for the
Convention are getting the details well
In hand, and Chairman Patteson Is
confident that Shelburne's warehouse can
be converted into a convention hall
worthy Of the occasion.
In order to relieve any fear OF heat
in the convention, 1t is proposed to put
up an ample number of electric fans 10
keep the entire floor space at comfor-
table temperature.
The Republican State committee will
hold meeting Saturday night at the
residence Of General William Malone,
State chairman. in Petersburg. II Is
said that Malone has failed entirely to
make any conditions with the Peoples
party but Will attempt to keen tho Marty
organization in hand to wait for any
opportunity that may turn up to work a
scheme.
Some Of the members OF the committee
here will not go to the meeting because
1t will be held at General Mahone's
house. and they would feel under con-
| straint under the circumstances
| General James y. Weaver, the Popu-
| list candidate for Presidential honors
| last year, will visit ex-Attorney- General
James G.. Field, his second on that ticket,
at the latter's home In Albemarle county

| host on speaking tour through the
counties Of Madison, Orange and Gull
peper. On September 4th (Albermarle
county court day. the Populist candidates
| on the Presidential ticket are expected
| TO address the people at Charlottesville.
These speeches. 1t is claimed, are not to
| be made under any special arrangement

not begin an active campaign until the

question.
The Virginia Farmers Alliance Conven-
| ton will assemble I'm sixth annual con-
vention at noon Tuesday in the hall OF
| the House of Delegates. The number OF
| delegates will, 1t is thought. be small
| In comparison with the meetings for the
past two years in this city.
Some of the Alliance leaders who are
/ In sympathy with the Peoples party
| hope that the convention will adopt reso-
/ buttons in line with the policy OF the
national organization. 1t is not impos-
| sible that some declaration will be sought
/ to be evoked on free coinage and other
| issues declared for by the Lynchburg
| convention. Captain Edmond r. Cooke,
/ the nominee OF that convention for Gov
ernor, who is now the chairman Of the
| Alliance State executive committee, will
| tender his resignation at this session Of
| the convention. His term as chairman OF
that committee does not expire for a
| year or more.
