IN DEFENSE OF ROGERS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE ROANOKE
TIMEs A special from Norton to the
Bristol Courier sets forth the misfor-
tunes Of one A. M. Rogers. would like
to express the opinion of the travelling
men of Southwest Virginia in regard to
this sad affair drought the columns OF
your paper. Ia brief this is the story
just as it happened on Thursday even
ing: Rogers invited the two little
daughters of G. I. Utter to go with him
into his sample room and look at some
slippers, adding, SHOULD you like them
l will give you pair"
They gladly accompanied him. TAX
ing one Of them on his knee he tried the
slippers on. They pleased her. At
that moment gentleman came to the
open door OF the sample room and said,
Rogers, there is some one out here
that wants to buy bill of shoes. AS
he put the little girl down he kissed
her, remarking, as he did so, Come and
see me again" The child tells her
father that Rogers kissed her and
was guilty of an act unworthy OF
gentleman. Upon that one state
inent he was dragged out into
the street by half drunken mob,
hence to the outskirts of Coeburn, and
nearly beaten to death. AS the mob
dragged him along the street, Rogers
said: MEN, just give me q chance to
explain, and il can't do so to the els.
faction of all concerned. string me to
the nearest tree" But they did not
listen for one moment to his appeal
The matter will be investigated by the
Travellers Association of Virginia, and
we hope justice will be melted out to all.

The returns of another day still give
OFerrall preponderating lead. Fred
ericksburg gives him six instructed
delegates and Essex two uninstructed.
In the Southwest Lee, Giles, Carroll
and Craig have chosen. AS to Lee
there is some confusion. Chairman
East claims II of the delegation. Dis
patches to the Richmond papers give
Tyler 9. O'Ferrall and 3 disputed.
The TIMES is informed that CFerrall
has and Tyler 2. Giles and Craig arc
solid for Tyler, II in one county and 5
in the other. Carroll gives Is solid in.
structed delegates to O'Ferrall, elected
by large majority and indorsed with
a hurrah. On this basis O Ferrall gets
"a Southwestern delegates to Tyler's 90,
and has outside.
With few minor corrections the list
now stands: O'Ferrall. 800; Tyler, III;
Buford. 80; Kent, Is; doubtful, 6
The Southwestern counties and cities
which have chosen delegates stand as
follows:
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-07-20

In this list we have placed Botetourt
In the contested column that no cues
ton may be raised as to the fairness of
the table. 1t shows Colonel O'Ferrall
In good clear majority over the other
contestants in the heart of the TYLER
stronghold, and with hardly less per
centage over Tyler than over all the
opposition throughout the State. Seven
teen out OF twentysi counties and
cities In SouthwesJ Virginia have chosen
PIT out Of total of 365 delegates. At
the present juDcture Colonel O'Ferrall
1s eight votes ahead OF his estimate
In the Southwest and putting Botetourt
aside as contested ia exactly twenty
ahead of the Tyler estimates in the
same section.
Following are the counties vet to
elect in the Southwest, with the mum.
Der of delegates in each Grayson, 10;
Bland, S; Bedford, 80; Montgo merry, 10;
Russell, II; Scott, II; Tazewell, 10;
Washington, 80; Wise, z. OF these l4S
delegates the Tyler managers claim
lob, AMI concede as. This claim ia
preposterous and not less than 25 dele
gates too high. The remaining coun.
ties Will make about stand.off. Major
Tyler will fail to carry his own section
by so votes at the lowst, and probably
by 65 On the other hand Col. O'Fer-
rail- will carry it beyond doubt with
more than the biggest county in it to
spare.
Norfolk elects to-day and the Tyler
people may be able to raise faint hur-
rlh when the returns come in. The CITY
officials Of Norfolk and the party organ
lzation is largely arrayed against Colonel
O'Ferrall. He was opposed to the sub
sidy bill and Norfolk favored it. The
bulk of the Norfolk delegation will
probably be anti-O'Ferrall, but there
will be one OF the liveliest fights which
Norfolk has seen in several wears.

POwDERLEY'SN NEW SCHEME.
TO Form a New Labor Populist Party i'm
the State of Kansas.

TO Form New Labor Populist Party in
the State of Kansas.
TorEKA, Kan, July ia conven-
tion of the representatives Of labor or.
CARNATIONS in Topeka was called to day
for July 81 to nominate a ticket of
twenty officers to be voted for in No.
vember.
Back Of this movement is a gigantic
scheme which is being engineered by T.
V. Powderly and is to be carried out
along the line OF his recent declarations
tina. organized labor must give up
strikes, and fall back on the ballot box.
This scheme to wrest Shawnee, the
banner Republican county of Kansas,
from the Republicans is being urged by
Chief Powderly, who is in constant com.
munication with the leaders. II success.
full, new party, it is said, will be
formed.
The Populist administration regards
the county as the Republican strong
hold in the State and say they are will.
ing to enter into any combine that will
take the county offices away from that
party.
Governor Lewellyn and the entire
Populist administration has given en-
couragement to the scheme. while every
Democrat who fused with the Populists
last year is willing to indorse the ticket.
