The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-07-08

Richmond, July IA little misunder.
standing between Governor O'Ferrall
and the Lee Camp Of Sons Of Confetlera te
Veterans is in II fair way of being AMIGA
bly, settled. The camp will adopt resolu.
tons at its next meeting which will
clearly set forth that. the refusal to elect
the Governor as an honorary member was
in no sort OF account due to any doubt
US to his good record as IL distinguished
Confederate soldier and officer. The
commander of the camp says that he has
made an exhaustive examination of Gcv-
ernor O'Ferrall's military record AMI
finds it 20 he stainless The governor
and Mr.. Harry NJ. Smith, Jr, when
proposed for honorary mem bership some
weeks ago, were rejected simply on nc.
count of II factional disagreement in the
camp. This course of the body had no
reference whatever to politics nor did 1t
reflect upon either of the gentlemen in
any way, Last night the camp elected
Governor O'Ferrall and Mr. Smith The
latter accepts, but it is understood that
the executive will not do so until the or.
ganization puts itself upon record in ex
rlanation of It's former action in rejecting
him. This will he done and the matter
given out to the press.
1t is an open secret, and has been for
some tir,e past, chat in the event Hon. j.
Taylor Ellyson declines the chairmanship
of the State committee; Senator Thomas
Martin, or Represents tive p. J. Otey
will aspire to be his successor. When
Mr.. Ellyson declined to continue Mt the
head of the pnrty's affairs last year Mr.
Martins name was prominently mention
ell in cononctiOn with the expected va
cancy. Had MIR. Ellyson' $ friends not sue
ceetled in inducing him to remain mt the
helm, it was generally expected that SEN
ntor Martin would have been selected as
the chairman. Half of the State sena-
tors chosen in this years election will
vote for Mr.. Martins successor in the
Senate two wears hence.
Thus far Two counties, Franklin ami
Charlotte, have adopted resolutions in
favor of,the Roanoke. convention bestow-
ing the lieutenant governorship uron a
Populist. Other counties, especially in
the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts
will probably follow this example The
Roanoke convention is expected to adopt
il fairly strong declaration in favor of fair
elections and better election methods. If
this Is done, it will not only he in com.
pliance with the demand of the Popu-
lists, but of the sentiment of the conserv-
ative Democrats of the southwestern
counties. This plank is already discussed
and will be carried to the convention
ready to be submitted to the platform
committee.
