L The Globe, received Yesterday eve
ming, gives up the election in Georgia.
After publishing returns from The Georgia
Cons,itu.ionalist. e.. F.: from SO coun-

them Democratic. Loco Foco1 BUT
WE DOsNOT THINK THEY CAN

+ CHANoEs.-To say there are no politi-
cal changes these days is as absurd as to
say that the wind is not blowing when
hurricane is raging. The Sangamo Jour
nal, Ill. issued an extra on the 10th, con-
tanning the communication Of tWenfai-se-
zen original Van Buren, men. AT the head
of the list stands John Cutter Post Mas
ter, all of Shelby county. The commu-
nication is too long for US to give it to day.
These men supported the Van Buren, can
didates at the last election, but now 90
their death for Harrison.-U.

AT IT AGAIN Gen. +. A. Howard

old fool, an old coward, and that Martin

The GREAT CONVENTION at Richmond,
Va, was glorious meeting. We have
not room this morning for full descrip-
ton. In the Philadelphia Inquirer we
find we'll written letter, descriptive Of
the meeting, and make the following ex-
! tract:
RICHMOND, Oct. s.. 1910.
This has been a glorious day--yes, a
glorious day! The Convention of the
Old Dominion is now with us. Our
brethren from the mountains and sea:
board-from the Potomac and the Apo
matox--are thronging our streets by thou
sands. The Convention formed in pro.
cessicn of about mile ard half or two
miles i'll length, and organized in the capt.
tolat 10 o'clock, by electing Ex-Governor
Barbour as its President.
After the usual preliminaries Of Con-
ven,lons had been passed through. that
giant of intellect "whose name is his high
est eulogy," Hon. Daniel Webster, adj
dressed the Convention in his best adj
dress. l, must speak Tor itself. ~
Probably you know that Mr.. Webster
has not always been a favorite with US
Southerners. but now that we have seen,
heard, and felt him, we know more about
him; and he will return with the adn:ira
ton Of Virginia as his reward. You must
know that we Virginians are rather slow
in adopting strangers, but when we give
a man our heart, we give him our whole
heart. Such is Daniel Webster now.
The largest mail that ever crossed the
Atlantic was broughtover by the Britannia
her last voyage. There we're Is mail
bags and 10000 letters. This fact shows
the immense intercourse carried on be-
tween England and the United States. If
the two countries continue thus to approx.
innate, Bullisna and Ynakeeism must soon
merge into each other and assimilate. If
the Yankee predominates in the mixture,
| it wont be bad amalgamation.
