PICNIC FOR DEMOCRATS.
The Rockingham House Nominating
Convention.

HARRISONBURG, VA, october o.
Special THE Republican convention,
which met to-day TO nominate candidates
for the House. was veritable picnic FOR
the Democrats. The Lamb (or conven-
tiom men, who are largely In majority
in this county, pretty generally refused 70
participate in the primaries, and those
who were elected refused 10 vote In To-
DAVIS convention during the roll-caH. w.
II. Zirkle. member of the present
House. and John e. Senger, who was
a member OF the House OF 1887 ana lSSS,
were the nominees. Nine mon were put
in nomination, but Ave withdrew, leaving
the race between the other four. 1t Is
a foregone conclusion that the Demo-
cratic nominees in this county will be
elected.
The resolutions adopted endorse Nc
Klnley's Administration, recognize Ag-
new as State chairman. criticise the
Democratic administration fer its control
of state affairs, dsnounce the present
election laws, and condemn those Repub.
Iicans who are supporting the Lynchburg
ticket. AS the convention men did not
participate, the proceedings were hsr'
mon!ous. Captain Warren s. Lurty ad-
dressed the convention, and repeated tho
charge he made at Lynchburg that he
was defeated by fraud.
