course we being anxious To know
What tins meant We bush whacke an
found to our surprise large number
of Red Skins and their squaws cook
ing venison, making ready as though
for an attack. AS there WAS toa large
a number we walked cautiously away
at two o'clock in the morning, and
lett their camp fires burning brightly,
when the rays of San had expelled
the darkness from the forest, we no.
ticed the red skins and their squaws
together with the pale faces gather e.
ing together and as we ventured
closer we found all ment peace and
harmony, at one o'clock after noon
all trailed to the grove on the p,in,
above w +. Stump's s;"re and by this
time. seeing they meant no harm to
any one, We ventured into their midst
and there we found a hearty welcome
among their ranks. After all were
comfortably situated in the shade of
the beautiful trees, an address of vel.
come was given by d. w. Shock
who did himselfIproud by giving, in a
mastery way an address which made
all present feel welcome and at home.
After address OF welcome the pre<id

as red men are treacheruus and cuu

one of our mum beers was captured, the

to the top of his voice, Farewell

wish to say that if the motto of this

snn people The next vote was taken
IN Spencer, which WAS snpprsed IN
he the third point in strength. al.
though the second la ne vnted ON.
and the Anderson people, who had
been defeated voted for Spencer.
which was selected and Mason city
has never yet been voted upon. Col.
j. NJ. Rowen, who was then speaker
OF the House Of Delegates, and the
representative of Monroe county,
stated few moments afterwards
that Spencer had won because of the
fact that it was the middle place 10
be- voted upon. and that Anderson had
lost the building because her friends
were too eager to get To vote. The
people of Roane county have always
appreciated Mr.. Hamilton's assistance
to them, but it has so happened that
they have never had an opportunity
To vote for him, either in convention
or a t the polls.
Another reason which contributes
to his strength in RCane Co, is that
at the Congressional convention at
Huntington in 1894 Hamilton was
the second candidate in the field
backed by Calhoun, Richie, Writ,
Pleasants and part of jackson and
Wood counties, having about 63
votes. MIR. Pendleton, of Roane
county was also candidate, with IS
votes from Roane. Over two hun
dred ballots were taken without re
sulting in the nomination; and at
almost daylight the convention had
been in session without adjournment
for many hours, Mr.. @. W. Hundley.
who was managing matters for Mr..
PendletOn, came to Hamilton and
proposed that they try their strength
to nominate Pendleton, To which
Hamilton agreed, and the whole of
his strength went to Pendleton, who
who also got some votes from Wood
county that Hamilton could not get.
aud PendletOn was to all intents and
purposes nominated by a small frac
tiOn of a vote. But in the excitement
a small change was made in one of the
counties, and Judge Harvey was de.
.clared to be the nominee. Two years
later, Hamilton was again urged to
become candidate but he declined,
stating that Mr.. Pendleton was the
logical candidate from this end of the
district, and should have the homina
ton. And the votes of all the coun
ties above named with perhaps ap
exception of a few votes In Richie
county went to Pendleton, and he
became the nominee of the convention
These matters can not help but make
MIN strong III Roane County, where it
Is matter of public noturiety.
While Roane county in the present
convention favors the nomination of
MIR. Pendleton for Judge, yet her
whole people of the democratic per SUI
Ssion, have a warm feeling for Ham.
ilton, and he will get every democratic
vote in that county, if nominal ted.
In addition to these matters. nei
Their the counties of Calhoun, Gilmer
or Clay have ever had a democratic
nomination tor an important Office
within the history of the state.
Twice has Gilmer county's candidate
for attorney general been defeated
aud twice has her candidate for Judge
been defeated. This paper will give
hearty support to the nominee of
the convention, whoever it NAV be,
but we believe that if the nomination
should come to Hamilton, he will he
elected beyond controversy.

From present indications, it looks
as though our townsman, j. NJ. Ham.
iltOn, will receive the Democratic
nomination for Judge, as the county
of jackson, which is the largest in
the district, seems disposed to give
him share Of her vote, which with
what he will get in the smaller ceun-
ties will insure his nomination.
The Chronicle has, from the beginning
advocated Mr.. Hamilton s nomina-
tiop, and did so without suggestion
from him, and without his knowledge
until one cir more articles had been
written. We did this not solely be-
cause he was county man, but sim
ply because, in our view, HE nomina.
,tion would be equvtlent to election,
as there are many strong reasons
which in our opinion make him the
most available candidate.
II will 60 without saying that in
the counties Of Gilmer, Calhoun and
CLAY he will receive every Democrat.
&c vote, and i'll addition will be sup.
ported by scores of republicans. We
have heard a large of number of
prominent and substantial men of
the republican party openly say that
they " Ill vote for him if he is NOM
mated. In the county of Jackson he
will command the full county strength
for the reason that upon two occas.
ions, his law partner, Mr.. Linn, was
defeated by Jackson county men,
once by Judge Armstrong in 1883
and again by MIR. Pricket in 1896.

CHIEF JUSTICE PRESIDING
Trend of Judge Fuller's QueS-
 tions Against Complainant.
Asks MT. Wise If Virginia Has Not a Supreme Court to Which the Negroes Could Go for
 Justice.

Richmond, Va, Nov. N.-The case brought by John s. Wise. on behalf of certain colored complainants, to restrain the State Board of Canvassers from is- suing certificates of election to the mem bers of Congress elected in the last Con- gressfonal election and to invalidate the new Virginia Constitution. was called in the United States Circuit Court this af- ternoon. Chief Justice Fuller presiding and Judge waddiil sitting with him.
 Attorney General Anderson and Frank Christian represented the Commonwealth. Ms. Wise opened for the complainants and was still speaking when court ad- iourned for supper. Up to that time the trend of the Chief Justices queries to counsel was against MT. Wise. The lat tar's contention that the Constitution was yitiated by the refusal of the n,ena- bers of the Convention to take the oath led the Chief Justice to ask if the Con- vention was not a Convention de facto. To the argument that complainants were without remedy as to certain matters. the Chief Justice asked if Virginia dio not have a Supreme Court.
 MT, Wise resumed his argument after supper, and one of his main contentious will be that the Convention had no power to proclaim the Constitution.
 At the conclusion of his argument MT. Christian began his reply for the Com monweaIth. Mir. Christian devoted him. self largely to the question of right of proclamation, cited numerous authorities, combating MT. Wise's contention.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Christian s argument, court adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

 Kelley was wanted because he, 1t was charged, handled the $47, ,5O0 bribe money. which, according to evidence. had been distributed among the nineteen members of the combine" and 1t was thought he could tell where the money came from. He was at the Four Courts when the in- dictment was made against him. A Dep uty Sheriff tonight told him he was want ed.
