The correspondent Of the Baltimore Ame-
rican says that Congressman JORGENsEN Ieit
Washington for Lynchburg Monday night
confident that the Straightout Republicans
will come out successful, and that there
Will be no coalition whatever. Mr.. JoRGEN'
SEN said before leaving that 1t would De d
close contest; that the Straightouts and Co
aliiionisls would be about evenly divided
and that the latter would go to almost any
extreme to capture the Convention. " We
do not permit them TO bulldoze Us, though"
he said, "but propose to stand by our guns,
and. IL it becomes necessary, we will hold
an independent Convention Of our own"

The Presidents Disabilities.

II is evident that the questions raised by
the Presidents inability to perform The du-
tics OF The presidential office must at no dis
isnt day be dealt with as practice! questions
and a practical solution OF them found. n
special dispatch TO the New York World
from Washington states a case which has
already arisen IN the naval service, aud which
calls imperalivey for such solution. An
officer who has filed with credit Tor three
wears past the post OF chiof OF the very
imporiant Bureau OF Navigation in the
NAVY Department is unfortunately suffer
ing from physical disability which makes
il necessary that be should be put upon the
retired list. and, as the law constituting the
bureaus OF the Navy Department prescribes
the employment at the head Of each bu-
reau Of an officer son the active list"
be must vscate his post. No one but
the President, says the World, can ap-
point his successor, and every commission
Of an officer OF The United States must
be signed by the President before the seal
can be affixed to it,. How, then, is a chief
Of the Bureau OF Navigation to be pro-
yided! That he President is not incapa'
bic Of performing so simple an official act
as the signing Of a commission appears
positively from the following statement
which was published a day or two ago by
the Tribune in lis Washington correspond
ence:
"The President has indeed written bis
signature once since he was wounded, but
It was not an official signature. The day
before yes erday was the anniversary OF the
birth Of one OF the children now at Mentor,
and in cOmmemOraiion OF the event the
members OF The family here got up an album
to be sent TO the little one. 1t was held up
before the President, pen was placed in
his hand, and the result was something
which can be recognized without much dif'
fculiy as the autograph signature OF the
President. II is crooked and angular, how
ever, ard will 10 coming years be an apt re-
hinder Of the ply steal weakness to which
the writer was reduced by the bullet OF the
assassin"

Congressman Jorgensen, OF Virginia. IS
in the city. lie said, when asked his opio-
ION OF the result OF the Lynchburg Con-
yention, that the CtalIiOnistS would be
much stronger than they had expected.
He thought they would be very evenly
divided, and there would be many contest
ing delegations. He thought that IL the
SIrsjQhtOutS succeeded they would noml-
nate General Wickbam. He himself would
favor Wickham. His objection TO the ANAL
gamation scheme was, that il meant the dis
organization Of the Republican party. He
feared that were the party ties once broken
they would never be established again.
The Republican leaders who had opposed
the coalition had no faith in the prelen-
sions Of the Readiusters. They feared TINT
should they once get control OF the stale
they would turn round and make terms
with the BouibJns. II was well known
fact, he said, that the most prominent Re-
adiuSters were the men who used to be The
most ultra and proscriptive BOurbons IN
the State. Mr.. JOrgenSrn saws that north
ern Republicans who have urged the peo'
pie OF Virginia to endorse the Readiusters
do not understand what they are doing.
He declares that IL means the annihllation OF
the Republican party in The State and the
loss OF every congressional district, the
judiciary, and all the members Of the Legs
lAture. ia return for all this lie sees
nothing to be gained.

Daniel and Colonel Cameron met here to-

his life; showed up reS6iuslment and CO.

Lewis and his deputy marshals dragging
men to the Albany penitentiary was grand,
and wbs applauded to the echo. His ar

mented on the same. Daniel spoke for one
hour, and so completely carried the crowd
that Cameron's hour was almost wasted In
the effort to gain their attention. Daniels

concludes that, Just because GUITEAU

her, "sALLY, why are you whipping that

The Democratic Conservative COuven-

Thursday and nominated John w. Daniel
for Governor yesterday completed its work
by nominating for Lieutenant Governor

generally considered strong one. / asked
a well-informed man to-day how he thought
the action Of the Convention would be ac.
cepted and regarded in Virginia, and be
gave me the following statement as bis
opinion: "The nomination Of John Daniel
Is eXcelent-better than the most hopeful
could have expected. He is a noble fell
loW-full of character, hope, enthusiasm,
courage, and brains. lie is one OF the very
best men in the State. II the Republican
