Federation of Labor." It was further -resolved "that in the future, and , for all .time, we will- keep carefully from the discussion of all partisan politics with a view of endorsing any candidate- for any office under the national. State, or. municipal govern-" ment.", . " .. In discussing these resolutions, the del- egates spoke only in. opposition to dis- cussing any candidate in a. meeting where delegates were sent by local organ- izations, to a • central body for the purpose, of bettering the condition of the workers, through their every-day labor.; It is evident that the friends of Mr. J. .S. Moore,, the wholesale grocer, \u25a0- are going to- make a determined effort to .send their favorite- to* the constitutional convention. Over fifty of -Richmond's leading business houses and scores- of, ; -.individuals signed '.•the.:; petition -request-: ing- him to ruii. -iThe tneeilUof -anJac-tU'e- busmess-man in".: the convention is widely felt, and Mr. Moore's -supporters' say he is the individual, for 'the/; place. \u25a0!. •'--:-* Mr. Moore, though ;he ; has not been-a public offlceholder, has always studied questions -relating- to political eccnomy, and has written much on important topics; "as well as contributed to commer- cial periodicals. Many of Richmond's re- tail grocers owe their start to him. He knew nothingof the petition until he saw it. and, notwithstanding the sacrifice he will have to make, in .iustice io his business associates, he determined, to make a A-jgorous light. Mr. Moore started in; business ; a /poor boy, and to-day the -firm of J. S. Mocre & Sons is known throughout the South. He takes. a great interest in the- working people, and his friends claim that he will be n. worthy champion of their cause Mr. Moore has. said that, if possible, he will try to incorporate in iiieiiew : Con- stitution a fair, conservative employers' liability bill. He thinks it would be a crime not to submit the convention back to the people, and a violation of the party's pledge at ?\orfolk to fail to do so. ; \u25a0There is sonic talk of trying to induce several of Richmond's prominent educa- tors to enter the convention fight, but it is hardly probable that the sentlemen. in question would gird their loins for such a fray. Thosii mentioned in this connec- tion are Colonel Gordon McCabe; Pro- fessors Boat'wriglit, McGnire. Ivloore, Mitchell. Chandler, and Dr. Nelson. The Clay "Ward Actives will meet at Belvidere Hall to r night, and the Old Do- minion Club at Belvidere Hall. No one seems prepared to 1 say who "^vill be the candidates for the .constitujional convention in Henrico county, tliougl^ sev- eral prominent men have been" mentioned, iii this connection. • Among the names of citizens considered are those of Major James Dooley, Judge T. Ashby AVickham, Cleric S. P. Waddill, Mr. Joseph Bryan, and Mr. CTames K. Russell. - I" ' The latter; told a Dispatch man. yester- day that he was an avowed . candidate and that he expected to win. He declared that the Henrico people did not care to support an office-holder. ;_..\u25a0 . Whether any of the gentlemen mention- ed save Mi*.
