CHASE CITY. VA, July 17.-(speciaL)-
The monthly court of Mecklenburg was
held yesterday.
Pursuant to a call Of County Chairman
T. A. Eppes. a convention of the Popu-
lists was held for the purpose of re-
organizing and electing delegates to the
Lynchburg convention. The meeting was
held in the courthouse during the re-
cess of the court w. S. Gordon was
elected chairman. There were present
thlrty-seven delegates from different por-
tons Of the county. Some colored specta-
tors were in the room. but none partici-
pated in the meeting. The proceedings
were orderly, devoid Of enthusiasm, and
conducted by the chairman with little
reference to parliamentary usages.
Mr.. Eppes declined reelection, and Mr.
Thomas Y. Allen was chosen permanent
chairman Of the County Executive Com
mittee, and Mr.. William II. Jeffreys secre-
tary and treasurer of this committee
The following delegates and alternates
were elected to the Lynchburg conven-
ton, and also empowered to act at a
congressional convention of the Fourth
District: Colonel J. Thomas Goode.
Il
alternates, w. S. Gordon. Harvey Jefreys,
and w. A. Ehrin. The delegates were
instructed to encourage no fusion with
the Prohibition, Republican, or any other
party but to stand on their own plat
form, independent Of all entangling
alliances.
Resolutions were passed approving the
course Of the Populist members IN the
last Legislature, severely condemning the
Walton bill, advocating fair elections. free
silver, and various other hobbies Of the
Populists.
THEY WANT GOODE.
The general sentiment was to make
nomination for Congress from this dis
trict, and to place in the field against
all Corners Colonel J. Thomas Goode.
There were the same familiar faces
and controlling elements in this meeting
that have been seen in all the as
sernblages in this county of these inn
practicable and deluded politicians. and
from a glance at this body the accessions
to their numbers are wonderfully small
and uninfluential.
on the courthouse square the irrepressi-
BILE Ross Hamilton-the noted colored poll
tician OF this county-spoke to a crowd
Of his sable followers. He advocated a
Republican nomination for Congress from
this district, and believed that Mr. Robert
T. Thorp, OF Necklenburg. Is the man TO
put the "old Fourth" back into the Re-
publican column. Like the Populists, he
will reject all proffers OF coalition with
any other party, but processes to run the
race solely on a Republican track.
