RICHMOND, FEBRUARY "a, 1924.
LEGLSLATTVE CAUCUS.

AgreeabIy 70 invitation, the Members Of the
two branches of the Virginia Legislature con-
vened on Saturday Evening, o'clock, for the
purpose Of forming an Electoral Ticket.
General Hungerlord called the meeting to
order, and suggested that Linn Banks, Esq
Speaker ofthe House Of Delegates, he called
TO the Chair, and Mr.. Lee proposed that Tn.
Richie should be appointed Secretary. Both
these propositions were unanimously agreed
TO.
The Chairman rose and addressed the
meeting in very handsome and appropriate
terms, in which he reminded them Of the oh
feet of the meeting, their obligations to their
country, and their republican, brethren thro'-
out the Union-and Of the necessity Of conti-
liation and harmony in their proceedings, as
well as union in giving effect to the result oil
their deliberations.
Mr.. Lee then remarked that the meeting
had been called at his instance; that VIM. Fl
Crawford was his favorite candidate for the
Presidency, but as he was prepared to sacri-
flee that preference TO the will ofthe majority,
he hoped the sense Of the meeting on the
subject would be taken, and thai that sense
be carried into effect.
Mr.. Mallory remarked, that he had come
prepared also to surrender his individual pre-
objections but il was NECESSARY before he
the course intended to be pursued by the
Meeting, and moved that ballot be immedi-
-ately taken to ascertain the favorites Of the
majority for the Offices of President and Vice
President.
After some further conversation among
gentlemen as To the mode of voting, &c. the
names ofthe members of the SENATE and II.
of Delegates were called over by the Score
tary. Ofthe Senate 5 members answered to
their names-and of the House of Delegates
159 answered IN person and 0 by proxy-mals-
ing presen. of both Houses l63 members, il
having been decided unanimously on the mo-
ton Of Mr.. Moore of r. that proxies should
be received.
Mr.. Thompson of F. rhen moved that in
stead of ballot, the names of gentlemen pre-
sent should be called, aud that they should
individually reply and name their choice both
for President and Vice President, TO be re-
corded by the Secretary.
This motion was agreed to, with the ex-
ception, that the votes for both offices were
not TO he given in at the same time.
The Secretary having called over the uames,
and registered the votes, they were ascertained
To stand thus, for President:

And pounces plump upon him. 60"

The hawk was munching up his prey,
When stout eagle steer'd that way,
And seized upon him. Sure comrade,
You'll spare my life--we're both a trade !"
Wretch cries the murderer, "hold thy

A sportsman saw the eagle fly,
He shot, and brought him from the sky;
The dying bird could only groan.
"Tyrant! what evil have done -
