received with great cheers. He declared
that Republican principles were greater
than men. and he accepted the decision.
He Was satisfied that the city needed no
composite ticket to redeem it from the
errors of the Democratic party. He paid

honest. able and conscientious lawyer.
Great cheers interrupted the speech.

and was followed by f G.. Hughes, who
was called TO the platform.
Mr.. Hughes, in an eloquent and forcibie
manner. paid . very high tribute TO Presi-

claimed that his relative. f. p. Dele. stood

Gilman was declared elected, and an
other ballot ordered TO decide who should
have second place. This Office seemed TO
create more excitement than any of
the Others, aud the convention
was repeatedly appealed to by the
friends of Meek and Braynsr to elect
their man. In the end Meek was de-
clared elected, the frequent changing of
votes nearly driving the secretaries crazy.
The result as announced By the chair was
that A. NJ. Gilman and & G. Meek we're
elected.
This completed the ticket to be selected
by the convention at large, except one
committeeman, and Boyd J. TalIman
moved that one committeeman at large be
selected by the convention and the other
by the committee themselves. This was
agreed to. and N. G.. Wins;ock nominated
w. IL. White, of the Second ward. John
Z. Humpliries named Harry Carroll, but
that gentleman declined, and the election
of W. II. White was made by reclamation.
The ward delegations then announced
the nominees for membership Of the house
OF delegates. as follows:
First waId--James Gleason.
Second ward-A. kistler.
Third ward-Frank w. Goodhua
Fourth ward-J. A. James
Fifth ward-M. D. HAYNES.
Sixth ward-Wiiiiam yoigt
Seventh ward-F. \. Little.
Eighth wsrd-Dr. ]. E. Crichton.
Ninth ward-Dr. William Chapman.
The only contest vas in the Fourth,
which seemed hopelessly split between
ex-Aiderman Afnasa Miller, Z. A. Shipley
and r. j. Lamoreux. The differences were
finally settled by agreement upon J. 4.
James.
For aldermen the nominations were:
Second ward-Aiexander Anderson.
Seventh ward-H. +. Compton.
Eighth ward-H. X. elise
Ninth ward-M w. Lovejov
This closed the business of the conveu-
ton, and q resolution OF thanks was
awarded the chairman and secretaries on
motion of II. ". Taylor.
With three eaee.s for the Republican
party and the ticket, the convention
adjourned soon after o'clock

A CHARMING DINNER GIVEN.
Messrs. Chewing & Rose Entertain
Their Real Estate Brethren.

Messrs Chewing & Rose, real estate
agents, gave a delightful dinner at Reu-
gers yesterday afternoon to their breth-
rem In that line Of business in the city.
More than thirty persons were present,
and the affair was one OF the brightest
and jolliest gatherings of men that have
assembled here this season.
The object of the dinner was a very
commendable one. being TO bring the real
estate dealers together to have a social
exchange of views and get the members
OF that craft in closer touch with one
another and into more perfect harmony
In a general way.
Recently the agents of the city formed
themselves into an association, OF which
Mr. Edward s. Rose, Of the firm of Chew
ming & Rose, was elected president. The
selection is considered a very wise one.
Perhaps there is no better posted man
in the business In Richmond than Mr..
Rose.
The dinner yesterday afternoon was en-
tirely informal. Bright bits Of CONVERSE
ton. good jokes. interesting war stories,
&C.. composed the intellectual part of the
menu, while the other consisted OF almost
everything nice to eat, served In Reuger's
best style. Among those In attendance
besides the jovial hosts were Messrs. N.

CURIOUS POLITICAL COALITION.
Tho venal Negroes, and All, Put In One
During Judge Buford's Term.

Tho venal Negroes, and All, Put In Once
During Judge Buford's Term.
LAwRENCEvILLE. VA. Feb. 9, 1884,
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Politics makes strange bed-feilows. We
have now before US the coalition OF the
Times and Judge Buford.
Nobody knows whittier the Times Is
tending, but 1t has been in favor OF an
honest dollar and the payment OF just
debt. The Judge has never stood upon
| that platform.
Politics like that has no place In his
| philosophy.
Judge l,uford has made n statement,
given testimony the Times calls II. before
| a committee OF the House, and the Times
| Is made sick by his disclosures.
Several negroes have been made judges
of election in brunswick county. II the
negro be vcnal, how can an electoral board
| help II?
| At the risk Of another spell Of sickness
| make this statement TO the Times:
| The officers OF election, at the election last
| fall (all OF them, Legroes and alp, were
put In Office during the term Of Judge
| Buford as county chairman OF the Demo-
cratic party-the list supervised by him.
and approved by him. The sole change
made was in the county chairman, a sue
cersor to Bufori, as chairman, having
been elected the latter part of August.
In the light of this disclosure whose
dirty linen has he been washing in public?
Is It any other than his own?
IN THE WAY 1T is PUT.
The Times endorses Judge Bufords
democracy. and says he can tell the truth.
The Times Is generous. In the latter
endorsement II Is safe perhaps In the way
1t is put, &C., &c. But imagine that the
members OF the General Assembly wish
to know, not whether he can. but whether
no does, tell the truth. In the statement
he has made before the committee
Much In this statement has been dis
posed OF, some OF IL is rambling. and
some of 1t immaterial but there H. re-
| manning one specific charge against officers
in his county, of the gravest character.
made In a fiippant, waggish way, which
Is tangible. and can be met.
/ quote from his letter to the Times,
explaining what ne did say. 1t Is this:
That at some of the voting places in
my county and others adjoining 1t the
ballot-boXes while the vote was being
polled were placed at remote part OF
the room. out of the view of the electors,
VINO were required 10 hand their DdllotS
through window, and that some of the
judges ut these places. after receiving the
ballots and before depositing them in .he
ballot-box, performed some little feats
OF legerdemain that would cause even
Miss Fay to hide her diminished head"
FLAT DENIAL.
/ meet this statement with fiat denial.
and say there is no voting place in this
county where the voter who hands in his
ballot, cannot, from his position. follow
ii with his eyes until 1t is safely deposited

sRUNsWIcK's ELECTION JUDGES.
A Card from the Chairman of the County
Electoral Board.


Electoral Board.
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, VA,
February T. 1894.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
1t W with reluctance that / write the
following letter. Newspaper controver-
sizes are very dlsagreeable any way you
take them. especially so in this case.
The relationship existing between Judge
Buford and me Is OF the closest kind
his children are like brothers and sisters
to me. and i have to a great extent re-
garded him as a father, and in his home
/ am treated just like one OF his family.
Our political relltions prior to last May
were just a. close. Up to that time
was (" :~-.ious supporter of him irs all Of
ils political plans. Since then, however,
we have drifted apart, or rather / have
stood where / always stood, and he has
drifted from me. This being the case. it
does seem to me that Judge Blu
ford should have at least warned
ME against committing such grave
offences against the morality OF our
people as appointing venal and ig-
norant negroes judges of election. The
1st day of February, 1885, the Electoral
Board OF Brunswick county, of which /
am chairman, appointed judges OF cleo
ton for the ensuing year 1 talked the
matter over very freely with Judge Blu
ford. He knew whom we intended APP
pointing; knew the day we were TO meet:
knew as much about them as we did, and,
strange TO say. not one word against a
single one of them did he utter; but, on
the contrary approved OF the whole list.
He knew them being very nearly the same
judges that served the fall before, when
the county went Democratic Then was
the time TO try TO keep our linen clean.
This washing in public would not then
have been necessary. Furthermore. the
Judge says he induced some Of these
venal and ignorant negroes TO resign and
came before the Electoral Board with
their designations, and the board positively
refused to accept them Also, that there
was an invalid judge. who sent In his
resignation, stating his bodily intirmity as
the reason for doing so.
AS TO VACANCIES.
The facts are these: He selected n case
from one precinct, not the one Of the
invalid, however, and made that test
case, which came before the board. About
the others / know nothing though l sus-
pected there were others to follow. one
member OF the board was I'm favor of ac-
cepting. the other against, which left IL
to me to decide. Both sides were repre-
scented by counsel when the case came
up finally. / took time TO consider, Dor
rowed a Code of Virginia and studied
the question to the best OF my ability.
Ny opinion was then and still Is that The
law does not give the authority 10 the
beard to accept designations and TO I'll
vacancies as to judges This power is
given 10 the board with reference to re-
glstrars ana members of the canvassiEg
board, but nowhere is this power given
with reference to judges, but provides
very specifically how vacancies are to be
filled. Right or wrong, that was my
opinion, ard still is.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM L. PRICE.

to stand for reelection to the mayorality
OF this town was announced last week.
Mr.. Ellyson has held the Office for three
consecutive terms. and has made one OF
the most satisfactory and efficient public
servants the city has ever had. His
declination has called forth innumerable
expressions of regret. His reason for
withdrawing is found in the increasing
and exacting demands OF his private
business. We have no idea that one who
has in so many ways shown a remarka-
bic capacity for public affairs. and
notable energy and fidelity In caring for
all the trusts committed 10 him, will
be allowed to remain in private life. His
fellow-citizens recognize his ability and
worth.-The Religious Herald.
