FITzHUGH LEE.-The Democratic con-
vention made a-wise choice last night in
nominating Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for Govern
or. There was excellent material from
which to select. A half dozen names were
prominently mentioned, but the popular
candidate was Fitz Lee, and the delegates
approaching the popular demand, prompt
ly acted accordingly. The enthusiasm
produced by the nomination was sponta-
neous and every one who was present at
the convention felt as we are sure every
freeman in Virginia feels to-day, that the
gallant Lee will be our next Governor.
Fitz Lee is the agent of no boss; he is
the candidate of no machine; he is truly
the peoples candidate. A dashing and
accomplished soldier, Trough -and-ready'
farmer, public-spirited Acknowledgment,
patriotic, fearless, and without stain upon
his escutcheon, he will make rousing
canvass-one that will surpass even the
most enthusiastic expectations of his fol-
lowers.
Long live the name of Fitzhugh Lee!-
