Mr. Randall at Home.

Mr.. RANDALL went home to Pennsylvania
on Tuesday to attend the State Convention
In Allentown yesterday. The Democrats
OF Allentown went crazy over him. A
large delegation followed him from the
depot, and shortly after his arrival two
brass bands serenaded him. Before he had
finished his breakfast the residence Of his
host was besieged by callers, and from that
time until dark constant stream OF people
flowed through the room in which he stood,
receiving them with both hands.
At night visitors again began to arrive,
and before O'Clock the house was filed to
overlooking, and healthy delegate from
Mercer county was placed as a sentinel at
the outer door, and ali others who came,
without respect to persons, were refused
admittance.
We quote from an Allentown telegram
in the New York World:
"To-night the town Is ablaze with en-
thusiasm and pyrotechnics. Bands, almost
without number, are parading The streets,
and the average delegate seems with diff
Guilty to suppress shout for Randall. He
Is only induced to remain silent by the
vigorous efforts OF new police-force which
was installed yesterday. At $3.50 O'Clock
tonight Mr.. Randall, accompanied by q
delegation Of friends, walked TO the Ameri-
Gus club-rooms. The streets along the
way were illumined by red FIRE and cleo
tricity, and shortly after shouts mingled

Ex-Governor John NJ. Gregory died
suddenly tonight at 0 O'Clock; aged eighty
years.
[John NJ. Gregory was born in Charles
City county. Va, July 8, 1904, and in 1929,
after receiving q commOn-schoOl education,
went to Williamsburg TO live and entered
William and Mary College as a student.
While at college his talents brought him
into some political prominence, and before
completing his course he was elected
10 represent the counties OF James City
and York and the city OF Williams
burg in the Virginia Legislature. He
continued to serve in the Legislature until
1886, when he declined reelection; but
In ls4l was again returned TO that body,
and, during the session OF 1904, was
elected Counsellor OF State. In March,
1S41, the Gubernatorial chair became va
cant by the resignation OF Governor Gill
mer, and, in March. 1912. Mr. Gregory,
being Senior Counsellor. and rs such Lieu

tons OF public trust than Ex-Governor
Gregory, or discharged the duties OF such
positions with more credit to themselves or
hdelity TO the people. He was yirginian
OF the old school-simple In his habits,
warm In his friendships, Just and even
generous towards his political opponents.
