ventiOn from the winter to the fall season,

pOned TO the 18th and Both of November
and the 1st of December inclusive. Roa-
nOke is the place Of meeting.

unanimously. Or. W. ID. Gu sselbeiiy
vas nominated 20 represent Caroline iu
the House. The following resolutions
were passed.
Resolved. That the Democratic voters
of Caroline county. Va, I'm mass meeting
assembled, heartily endorse the nominal
ton of w. ID. Quesenberry for the House
of Delegates, and III. T. Wickham for the
Senate as made by the county and sena-
tOr!al conventions that this day convened
at Bowling Green. Va, and pledge 10
them an earnest and enthusiastic support
in the coming political contest
Resolved That We earnestly advocate
and urge honest and free elections In
every county of this Commonwealth. but
we do sOlemnly protest against sweeping
accusations OF fraud and corruption that
are daily being uttered and written
against the good people or Virginia by
hasty and preiudiced individuals. so tar
as the elections In this county are con-
cerned we deny and rcpel with indigna-
ton any accusations Of fraud that may
be made againt the citizens OF this cOun-
~ as grOundless and false, and especially
do we emphasize these protests touching
the operations of the sO-called Walton
election law The Democratic voters In
vite public investigation and criticism
into all such matters, 50 far as caro-
line is concerned.
Republican victories i'm this county in
1892 $685. when party lines We're sharp
~ drawn, should silence the noisy and
chronic political grumblers of Caroline,
who have heretofore mustered Loyalty
and conhdingly together under bicolored
bannehs of fusion against tho Demo
cratic party. but their sense or fairness
and candor seems so blunted and blinded
by partisan zeal that they fan 20 see or
recognize the plainest principles and pre-
cepts OF prudence and honesty IN their
reckless partisan utterances and denun-
Citations of the Democratic party.
Such political hypocrisy should De ex-
posed and contrOverted by every fair
minded citizen of Caroline.
