Meeting OF the Virginia Republican State
Central Committee Nomination OF q
C0ngressman-a at. Large.

The State Central Committee of the
Straightout Republicans met in Rich
mond Wednesday and decided to post.
pone Indefinitely the calling of State
convention. A resolution was adopted
declaring that it would be inexpedient
to delay the Inauguration of the can
vass for the election of Congressman. at
Large, and that the committee should
proceed forthwith. by virtue of the
power vested in it, to select candidate
for that office. Rev. J. M. Dawson,
colored, of Williamsburg, was there
upon unanimously chosen as the Re-
publican candidate for Congressman-at-
Large. A resolution was adopted in
dorsing Hon. w. w. Willoughby, of
Alexandria, for Judge of the United
States District Court for the western
district of Virginia, vice Judge Rives,
lresigned, and requesting the President
to nominate him for the position, the
committee having "full confidence in
his ability as lawyer and his integrity
| as man" The committee then adopt
| ed q platform renewing allegiance to
the national Republican party; urging
the passage of the Burnside bill, or
some other equally effective measure by
which the general government shall
provide means for the free education of
the people: favoring the fullest exercise
of the right of suffrage with fair ball
lot and an honest count; opposing the
payment of capitatiOn tax as q pre-
requisite for voting, and urging the Re-
publicans of the State to vote solidly
for its repeal; expressing the fullest
confidence in the candidate for Con.
gressman.at-Large just nominated !;
deploriDg the action of the administra.
ton in ignoring the Republican party
OF the State, and the fact that by this
action the political destiny of the Re-
publicans of Virginia had been, as far
as the administration was concerned,
consigned to the keeping of one man,
who, in 1880, supported Hancock and
English; favoring the development of
good feeling between the different Sec
tons of the country, which can best be
brought about by maintaining the prin
ciples of the Republican party in their
integrity, and finally, favoring q pro-
tective tariff by which the workipgmen
and the industries of the country shall
be protected from competition with the
pauper labor of Europe.
SKETCH OF DAWSON.
The Richmond Dispatch says:
Rev. J. M. Dawson, the nominee of
the Republican party for Congressman
at. Large, is an educated colored man,
and noted Baptist clergyman. He
was educated at Oberlin College. Ohio,
and has taken prominent part in Re-
publican politics in the State, having
been the Republican candidate for cleo
tor. at-large in three presidential cleo
tions. and also member of the State
Senate. He is well known throughout
the State, is a good speaker, and is as
much respected in Williamsburg, his
home, as any man in the community.
1t is said he will poll the Republican
vote of the State.

History Of Small Pox.
A PLAGUE THAT HAS HELD SWAY FOR
TWELVE CENTURIES.

OF all the plaques which have arisen
from time to time, or infested cities or
countries. none is more dreaded, none is
more persistent, none is more easily com .
municable or fatal than was smallpox a
century ago. But whence or how the dis
sase arose it is not so easy to say. Other
plaques have vexed the earth for a time
and then passed away, leaving no vestige
of their ravages, as did the great plague at
Athena during the Peloponesian war, or
the plague in England of Charles II, but
smallpox, not content with twelve centu-
ries of sway, still holds it own, despite the
discoveries of science. 1t is unquestlona-
bly, true that diseases of such contagious
nature generally arise among filthy and
ill-cenditioned people, confined in narrow
quarters. This was the case with the
Athenian plague, and it was again the
case in the Jewish quarters of European
cities. Contagious diseases were compar
atlvely rare among the Romans and Greeks
OF the illustrious periods, owing to the free
public baths and excellent sanitary and
gymnastic habits of the times.
1t was reserved for the middle OF dark
ages to furnish the most dreadful exam
pies of pestilence. Smallpox arose in the
very darkest period of med@val times. 1t
first invaded England in the ninth centu-
ry; it was common in Arabia in the tenth;
the crusades carried it through all South
ern Europe; it reached Norway in the
fourteenth century; in 1917 it was carried
to st. Domingo by the Spaniards along
with slavery, the Inquisition, the rack,
and a host Of other blessings three years
later it crossed to Mexico and slew three
millions; it invaded Iceland in 1907, and
Greenland in 1873, Staying a.fourth part of
the residents in the former and large pro
portion of those in the latter country. and

is doing to cast 1t from the earth, it bids
fair to retain its hold, in some measure as
long as popular ignorance, restitution.
negligence and carsless1ess continue to
combat the physicians and the dictates of
comLnon sense.
Its history is thus unique; other conta-
gious diseases have proved az fatal under
similar circumstances for limited. periods
none have continued their blasting work
for ten centuries in all climates from Mex
leo to Greenland. 1t is not unreasonable.
