MEsSRs. BAKER AND MACON.
Chesterfield Names One Man aud Man
chester the Other.


The county Of Chesterfield and the city
of Manchester won even honors in the
Democratic convention held in the latter
place yesterday for the nomination of two
candidates for the House Of Delegates.
Each had the pleasure OF seeing one of her
favorite sons honored by having the party
colors placed in his hands.
The convention went about its work
very deliberately and much more time was
consumed IN conferences and recesses than
in the actual proceedings. The body was
composed OF "a delegates apportioned az
follows Chesterfield. IL Manchester. 10.
had two candidates, Msssrs. w. w. Baker
and Ben p. Owen. Jr., and insisted upon
having both delegates, as she was not
given either two years ago. Manchester
did not take kindly to this idea, as they
had a candidate. Colonel @. X. Macon,
whom they wanted nominated, and they
had the support of Powhatan. This was
the fight and neither side was In hurry
to meet the issue.
yention was called TO order at 1910 by
City. Chairman Merritt. Dir. +. G. ID.
Farmer was made chairman and Mr.,
Charles 7. Wake secretary. All of the
delegates were present either in person or
by proxy. and there were no contests.
When nominations were declared TO be IN
order Mr.. j. T. Butler presented the name
of Colonel Macon Mr.. John A. Lester
nominated Mr.. Baker and DIR. Cheatham
presented the claims Of Mr.. Owen. There
were several seconding speeches, and then
came lively fight as to whether the vote
should be by counties or individual roll
call. After many speeches the motion OF
Mr. Sims. of Manchester, to call the roll
and each man vote for himself prevailed.
This was a Manchester victory, the vote
being 10 to Is.
There was a recess and a conference, and
then ballotlng began. The first ballot re-
suited as follows: Baker, 90; Macon. II;
Owen, u scattering, IA. Mr.. Bsker.was
declared to be one Of the nominees. After
another conference Chesterfield gracefully
came over to the Manchester man, and
Macon was nominated by reclamation.
After string speeches from the two
nominees. Mr. Owen. DR.. HennIng, and
Senator Parrish. the convention adjourned
about o'clock.

WELDON, N. c., September 20.-Dr
Cyrus Thompson, State lecturer OF the
Alliance, spoke TO a large gathering OF
farmers at Aurelian Springs, in this coun-
ty, yesterday. The speaker claimed dur
ing the course of his three hours speech
that there were no politics in II. Yet he
reminded his hearers that the Alliance
was not strong enough to put in any
set OF men they wanted In office. He also
said he wanted to see all the cold rats
turned out" The old office-seekers and
chronic grumbers were then paying
marked attraction to his words. A far
mer remarked to me: II am disguised
with the whole thing and don't intend
TO pay fifty cents to be told by the AL
hance how l shall vote. I'll be d II i

Dealing with the questions that are now
playing havoc among the agricultural ele-
ments, Judge Kerr said that one OF the
greatest of all the ills was debt. Debt
made slaves of people. The people we're
now cursed by debt and political depend:
ence. He referred to the impoverished
condition of the farmers, and said that
one of the reasons Was that they had TO
fatten the Judges, and CLERKS. and other
big officials.
Mr.. j. A. Brown. clerk of the circuit
court Of Hanover county, took exceptio n
to this, aud, standing out in front OF the
speaker, demanded TO know OF him how .
county-clerk could grow fat out OF the
fees of the poor, impoverished farmers OF
his county.
The Judge denied any intention TO make
O remark that would be construed a. per-
sopal. and declared that lie was speaking
in a general way. The incident caused
great laughter and cheering. Judge Kerr
devoted the remainder of his speech to q
discussion Of the silver question. With

Mr. Cooke and the Election Law.

The Virginia Populst platform de-
nounces the rson-McCormick election

Governor. served as one OF the members
Of the electoral board thus provided for
by law in his county. No doubt he saw
TO it that none but honest and capable
registrars and officers OF election were
appointed. No doubt other electoral off,
GERS are just as honest as Mr.. Cooke.
And again: II the Anderson McCor-
mick law allows the party in power to
count in" whom II will. why do our
Populist friends want to subject them
selves to that fate?
