Virginia Farmers Alliance prepares for pivotal Richmond convention
Delegates arrive for the Virginia Farmers Alliance State convention in Richmond as leaders forecast the meeting to be the most important yet. A key issue is fair railroad rates, with calls for a state Railroad Commission. President Mann Page may propose a commission like the Interstate Commerce model to regulate railroads. Debate over the Alliance role in the legislative campaign follows, with Democrats delaying policy and Republicans avoiding nominations. The Ocala platform’s endorsement of free coinage is expected, and Senator John W. Daniels is likely to win reelection.
