Both of these gentlemen are too well
known throughout the State to require any
introduction or eulogy at our hands. Bet
ter selections could not have been made, :
and we congratulate the convention upon
the admirable manner in which it has done
it's work.-Petersbamg Post.
With Mr.. Holiday as Governor we are
therefore rejoiced. The Conservative Con-
ventlon could not have selected a better
man. He will preside with honor to the
Old Dominion and to himself. Her repu-
tation will be safe and her interests will be
guarded with an ability and jealousy that
we may entirely confide in. We lift our
voice with hearty energy in applause for
the noble gentleman who has received this
nomination, and with renewed faith and
devotion we shout, Long live the Com
monwealth."
General Walker is prominent and pop
ular gentleman, who won great distinction
by his gallant war record in the StoneWall
brigade. He has seen much legislative ser
vice and is well acquainted with parlia-
pentary law. He is genial, generous,
and brave-hearted gentleman, who has
honored himself greatly by his devoted
service to his State.-Richnaond Dispatch.
The nomination of Colonel r. W. M.
Holiday for Governor by the State Con-
sentative Convention yesterday will re-
ceive the enthusiastic approval of the peo-
pie Of all sections of the Commonwealth,
and secure to Virginia an Executive of
whom any State should be proud.-Peters-
burg llldeG.
With him (Holliday) as our standard
| bearer we fear no adversary. We do not
believe that any foe will dare to take the
field against such a man, but if Republl-
canism dares to raise it's head and enter q
contestant in the gubernatorial race
against the Conservative candidate we
shall rejoice in the opportunity of final
! triumph that will consign it to the tomb
of the Capulets. With such man as F.
W. M. Holiday to lead our columns the
| Conservative army will march in irreslsti-
| BILE array over any enemy that dare take
| the field against us.-N0rfolb VarglT1ldT.
The choice of the Convention made to-
day will be received with real pleasure
throughout the State, and he will receive
! the earnest support from every section OF
| Virginia. Three cheers for Holiday and
ten for old Virginia -NoJolk Ledger.
| The result Of the great struggle which
has been going on in Virginia for the gov
| ernorship seems to have been well received
| in that State, and to have caused general
satisfaction in other States. Col. Holiday
! is for economy and solvency," and the
| platform demands ''the maintenance of the
| honor ard credit of the State.' Virginia,
| under conservative auspices, is rapidly re-
capable of ultimately fulfilling her just en-
| gagement, and secure from any attack upon
her good name which is not inflicted by
her own hands.-B0ltinaore San.
Prosperity and population will come as
times improve, and the means Of meeting
the public burdens will be increased. 1t
will be a Holiday walk over the course fol
the candidate. The Republicans have no
better show in Virginia than they have in
Kentucky. -BroohIpa Argus.
The mother of Presidents has come out
all right after three days hard fighting at
Richmond. The Convention has repu
dated the repudiationist and nominated
General T. W. NJ. Holiday. < Gen
Holiday is lawyer of great ability, q dis
tinguished speaker, and a man OF states
manlike grasp. He served in the Confed
crate service and served bravely.-Nelvark

Colonel Holiday has a fine reputation
He was q good soldier, is a man of un
blemished honor and of fair ability. He
will doubtless make a faithful, dignified
efficient Chief Executive, and will never by
word OF deed reflect discredit upon the Ole
Dominion. We suppose his nomination is
equivalent to an election. - Wilmington

We receive with qualification the in
telligence OF the nomination OF that honor
able and distinguished gentleman, Colone
T. W. M. Holiday, of Winchester, fol
Governor. 1t is grand triumph over the
whiskey influence. He is a sterling Chris
tian, q gentleman, and a man whose lip
l,no Il no
strong drink.-IenaperGTc Adroc0te.
Honor to the men who have stood up TO
the credit Of their State in the long struggle
than their duty, but did it in the face o
many malign and powerful influences. Tit
monster reputation may make another eff
fort to throttle the State, but now that hi
| is down it will be easier to keep the uppel
hand of him; to this work let all honest
Virginians address themselves. -Ph5laoel
p7s5a Times.
In such time it is encouraging to fine
old Virginia, through the Convention
which practically awards her highest
honors, stemming strong tide of repu
diation, and declaring that ''she would
scorn to repudiate her just obligations, >
and that they ARE resolved to preserve in
violate the public faith and credit. ''-Wil
1atngton (Del.) Commercial.
Colonel Holiday is a gentleman Of whom
there is nothing but good report: and hi
attitude in regard tG the critical question
of all-the maintenance of the public cred
it and the financial honor and integrity Of
the States exceptionally firm and un

mands ''the maintenance of the honor and
credit Of the State'' We congratulate the
Virginia Democrats on this.-N. Y. Herald
