I'm deciding the issue between Hon. c.
Harding Walker, the incumbent Of the
Thlrty-sixth Senatorial District, and w.
Mcdonald Lee. his Martin opponent, de-
clared for Walker yesterday In mass
meeting by n vote Of 1856 to ll6 In the hot
test fight ever waged In that section.
The county is the home OF Mr. Walker
and OF Lloyd T. Smith. Jones's first heu-
tenant in the Northern Neck. and the re-
suit in exceedingly gratifying to the Mar
tin people.
The Tyler men. who at first intended
introducing a resolution endorsing the
Governor, refrained from doing so, as

were Martin men. but supported Mr..
Walker on personal grounds. would nave
caused the defeat of the Tyler resoiu-
lions.

land, Richmond, and King George coun-

all these counties. except Lancaster, pre-
cinct or district meetings were denied the
people by the Tyler managers. Lancas-
ter. the only county in which precinct
meetings were held, went overwhelming
ly for Martin.
As the issue has been practically de-
cided In the selection OF delegates Mr..
Walker will have no opposition for the
nomination.
The strong fight which Mr. Lee mas
made, it is expected. will elect Martin
man to the House OF Delegates from the
counties of Richmond and Lancaster.

Man, for the House.

BOYDTON, VA, September 1S.-(Spe-
cial.)-One Of the largest and most ex-
citing Democratic county conventions

Chairman and W. L. Clark secretary.
This organization was afterwards made
permanent. The chairman stated the OBJ
iect Of the convention, which was to
nominate a candidate for the House or
Delegates.
1T WAS NO LOVE FEAST.
As soon as the convention assembled 1t
was seen that it would not be love
feast. as the two factions, one represent
ing Martin and the other Tyler COR the
United States senator, meant business,
and that every inch Of ground would be
stubbornly contested. Almost immediate
" after the organization two candidates
were put in nomination for the House OF
Delegates They were III. +, Hutchinson
and W. II. Jeffress, Jr. a motion was at
once made that the candidates come be-
fore the convention and state their posi-
ton on the subject of the United States
senatorship, which motion was pressed
strongly, but was ruled out by the chair
man.
HUTCHINSON NOMINATED.
The convention then proceeded to the
election of a candidate, and Hutcleson
was nominated by majority Of 10, the
vote standing % for Hutcheson and 10 for
Jenress. The nomination of Hutchinson
was afterwards made unanimous.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the convention:
eve affirm our allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party and to the Chicago PLATFORM
We favor United States senators being
elected by direct vote of the people.
Recognizing the faithful and efficient
services in the United States Senate Of
Thomas S. Martin, we favor his re-elec-
ton, and instruct the nominee OF this
convention and our State Senator, Hon.
D. Q. Eggleston, TO cast their votes Tor
and to use all honorable means TO secure

east their votes for and to use all honor
able means 10 secure his reelection.

FIRST PAYMENT HAS BEEN NADIA

The property of the Richmond Railway
and Electric Company, with all Its fran
chises, real estate. and the charter which
grants such broad privileges, has been
bought outright by the Boyd-Newton
syndicate. This statement was made to-
a Dispatch man by Mr.. George Il. Frshers
general manager OF the old company. at
the Jefferson Hotel yesterday. Mr.. Fish
err declares that the old company has
relinquished everything. and that tho
property Is to be turned over in short
time The first payment has been made.
and the second, and last. will be due
about the end Of this year New York
capitalists are interested with the Boyd
Newton syndicate in tho venture, says
Mr.. Fisher, but the old company is in na
way connected with IL.
Every assistance will be given the SYM
dictate in the effort to secure general
franchise for the whole system. and no
doubt is entertained that this move Will
be anything but successful. The fran
chise to the ends of the Main1street lima
expires at the end Of this year, and the
franchise to the line from Beech street.
down Main at the end Of this year. The
only way that the city can acquire this
line Is by purchase. and Mr. Fisher thinks
IL extremely improbable that the posi-
ton of the syndicate can be successfully
assailed.
DON'T LIKE UNDERGROUND.
The underground system, no thinks. ia
so expensive that It could not be profita-
bly, operated in a city the Size OF Rich
mond. 1t would be an experiment, pure
and simple, with all sorts OF unknown
conditions to contend against. In years

could be employed here, but that time Is
not vet.
The overhead trolley was first tried In
Richmond says Alr. FISHER II has pass
ed through the experimental stages, ana
the lie Of a rail and Of the equipment
can be gagged to a month or so. The ex-
perience has cost tho old company. Ia
saws about a million dollars. The equip
rnent has been changed four times In
the last ten years, the trolley-wire three
times. and the rails four times. The ffrst
girder rail ever made was used In Rich
mond and is now on Main street. The
old company had been prepared to
sell for some time The bonds nave
yielded and 10 per cent. year. but tho
stockholders nave never rchi]"u any
thing. owing 10 the outlay necessary 10
keen the lines in condition through tina
experimental period. The receipts have,
however. steadily increased each year.
A BROAD CHARTER.
The charter under which the old COM
pany now operates. grants the privilege
of running under any kind OF power, and
of operating railroads In any part OF
the state. except between Richmond and
Washington. The old company Is made
up of number OF different corporations.
These will be consolidated under the new
regime.
