RICHMOND, Va, July 30.-The Demo-
| cratic State Convention assembled to-day.
Holmes Conrad nominated General Fitz-
hugh Lee for Governor. His speech was
an eloquent tribute to his candidate and
embodied striking contrast between Lee
as a man of the highest attributes and
Mahone's candidate. His remarks were
frequently interrupted with applause.
Col. VIM. E. Green nominated Capt.
Phillip W. Mckinney in a stirring speech.
His first mention of the name of Mckinney
was received with an outburst of applause
that fairly shook the house. John E.
Massey and Major B. B. Lee were also
named as candidates. Fitzhugh Lee re-
ceived more than the necessary number of
votes, and the friends OF Captain McKin-
ney moved to make the nomination unani-
nous, which was done amid the widest
enthusiasm. Lee appeared and spoke
briefly OF his early military career, when
he wore the uniform of the United States
and served in her army, and when his
State had called for his services he bad
felt it his duty to his mother to respond to
her call. Once again Virginia called
him to aid her in riding down
her enemy, and he cheerfully answered
and accepted the trust reposed In him to
be a standard bearer in the coming cam
paign. The Republican party had but re-
Gently nominated candidates, and had put
them on q platform which had been justly
characterized as being a mass of false
hoods and ridiculous exaggerations, and
on this platform he would go out to make
a manly and earnest fight. Civil Service
Reform was Endorsed, while at the same
time the appointment to Office of offensive
partisans was opposed; commends the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland, and
especially the Presidents action in remov-
ing offensive Federal officers in Virginia.
John E. Massey was nominated for Lieu
tenant Governor ON the first ballot. r. A.
Ayers was nominated on the second ballot
for Attorney General.
Arrangements for Grants Funeral.
NEW YORK, July 30.-The Tribune this
morning publishes an interview with Gen.
Sherman, in which he says: The parade
will be the grandest military spectacle this
city ever saw. Gen. Hancock is magnifi-
Gently fitted 10 organize and is hard at
work. He will leave nothing undone. 1t
was a good thing TO do to place all these
things in his hands. Gen. Sherman gave
this explanation of why he thought New
York had been given preference over Wash
ington as a place of burial: 1.-The Grant
family will continue to live in New York.
They want the Generals tomb to be here.
| think that is the feeling of the family,
and when the country comes to know OF 1t
the selection will be honored as reasons
