VIRGINIA POLITICS.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. I6.-Ine |
conservative committee last night |
decided upon plan of compromise
and submitted the same to the read
justers' committee, which is now Il |
o'clock a n.y. in secret session, con-
sidering it. Nothing has been given
out as to the terms of the proposed
compromise, secrecy having been
enjoined by resolution by members
of the conservative committee.
Nothing reliable as to the plan or as
to the action of the readjusters'
committee thereon can be obtained
tonight.
Nothing of an official character
has yet been promulgated III rela-
ton to the movement for healing
the differences between the opposi~
ton factions of the democratic par
ty of the state, as far as they affect
national issues. It is generally
known, however, that plan of com
promise submitted last night by the
regular conservative committee to
that of the readjusters provides for
the formation of a mixed electoral
ticket, to be made up of five conser-
vative electors and five readjuster
electors, the eleventh democratic
elector to be named by the national
democratic committee, or chosen by
| lot.
The readjusters committee re-
mained in session until 5
o'clock this morning. The greater
portion of the session was spentin q
general interchange of views on po-
litical matters, and expressions as to
what was thought by the people of
the proposed compromise. The
plan of the conservative committee,
which had been lying before the re-
adjusters committee all night, was
not opened until half past three
o'clock, when it was briefly con-
sidered. Finally, it was decided to
reject the plan, and the sub-commit-
tee was appointed to prepare reply.
The readjusters are again in ses-
sion discussing the matter. One sub
iect which is being considered is
whether the readjusters shall en-
body in their reply plan of compro-
mise of their own. One plan that is
known that they have discussed is to
submit the two Hancock electoral
tickets to the people at primary
election some time in October, and
that whichever ticket shall receive
the highest popular vote that ticket
shall be recognized at the presiden
tial election. What action has beer
taken is not yet known.
, LATER.
The readjuster's committee have
decided upon their report. They re
: iect the plan proposed by the con
r servative committee, not out of an.
: indisposition to unite the support o
l Hancock and English, but out of th'
belief that the proposed plan is no
: calculated to accomplish the objec
. sought. Yet in consideration of tn
= apprehensions which exist outside o
that division Of the party may resul
r in the loss to the democracy of tn
: electoral vote of Virginia, which az
: prehensions are not shared in by tn
i readjusters, they propose tha
d the electoral ticket ques
ton be settled by pr
i mary election, to be held on the 16t
:, of October, at which all persons sha
. be allowed to vote who pledge then
E. selves to vote for Hancock an
'e English. The reply will be submit
ted to the conservative committe
this evening.

again the star in the east shining all
the more brightly, because it has for
a quarter of a century been below
the horizon. Maine has spoken to
her sister states in a voice that
can not be misunderstood. New

ratify your discreet action by giving
a :, decisive majority at the polls for
Cne constitution and the union, Han
COCK and English at the sides OF

ceived from 419 towns, considerable
part official, gives the following vote
Davis. 7O,965; Plaisted, 69,O57; Nye,
174; scattering, 258. Davis leads
bv 1,479 votes. There are yet 81
towns and plantations to hear
from, which voted last year as fol
lows: Davis, 2,427; Smith, 1,758;
Garcelon, 1882; fusionists over
Davis, 1918. If these 81
towns and s plantations have
voted the same as last year
Davis is elected by majority Of 166.
The constitutional amendments are
doubtless both accepted.
PORTLAND, Sept. 16.-Five planta-
tions and the small towns of Somer-
sett county on the remotest upper
waters of the Kennebec, received ad-
ditional this morning, give Davis 1913,
Plaisted 191. Last year they gave
Davis 1876, Smith 152, Garcelon 81, a
republican majority Of 2 this year
against the fusion majority of IS
last year.
New York, Sept. 16.--At the head
quarters of the republican national
committee in this city the election OF
Davis O yer Plaisted is claimed upon
the basis of dispatch from Maine,
which states that Davis majority
will reach 1,459.
New York, Sept 16.-The nation
al democratic committee has received
the following dispatch from Port =
land:
Two hundred and thirty six towns
give Plaisted 65,995, Davis 67,828,
republican majority 1888. In 1876
the same towns gave the opposition
55,392, republican 70,497, republican
majority in 1876 1915, republican
loss since 1876 1927. The one
hundred and twenty towns not yet
heard from gave considerable demo
cratic maiorities in 1876. There is
no doubt of Plaisted's election. For
congress, the contest between
Lindsey and Philbrick is close and
doubtful. The committee sent out
this afternoon the following dis
patch:
New York, Sept. 16.-Our latest
information is to the effect that
Plaisted has a clear majority of some
where from 500 to 1,500. No amount
of cheating, which is apparent the
republicans are trying to do, car
effect this result. Everything is
being done to watch them and defea'
the fraud on their part.

WoRcEsTER, MASS, Sept. 15.-The
republican state convention was
called to order at II a. m. E. F.
Stone, chairman of the state central
committee, was made temporary
chairman. In the course of his re-
marks on taking the chair, Mr.. Stone
said: In the south we find no such
differences in sentiment on questions
of finance and governmental re-
form as exist in the
north. It is because the south is
bound to make all questions subordi-
nate to the permanent question of
how to again get control of the gov
ernment Of the country. (Applause.)
The south is a unit upon all political
questions, and we know what this
means and what must be done to
compel the south to recognize the
legitimate authority of the govern
ment. This is our first duty. We
may differ upon other questions, but
we must insist that the power and
authority of the government shall
stand. The usual committees on
permanent organization, credentials
and resolutions were appointed.
Gov. John d. Long was ,renomi-
mated by acclamation and Byron
Weston, of Dalton, was nominated
for lieutenant governor.
