Fitzhugh Lee.

We always maintained that if Gene
raj GRANT had been nominated for q
third term he would have been re-
elected President of the United States
in 1880. We knew that all the pre-
JUDGES against third term and all
other prejudices against him would
melt away before his mere name, and
that every northern State would vote
for him.
So we say of FiTzHUGH LEE. He
will grow in strength day By day.
The people will turn out by thousands
to see him. If there are any prejudiceS
Of any sort now existing against him
they will all melt away. We say of
him now, as we said this time last
wear Of CLEVELAND, he is the man of
destiny. He is bound to be elected
Governor.

Bosses.

The Republican papers now say that
Mr.. BARBOUR was defeated in the State
Convention. II so, we hope that the
Republicans will cease making the
charge that the Democratic party OF
Virginia has boss. According to
their own testimony, the Democratic
people Of Virginia took the bit in their
mouth and ran away with "the ma
chine" Let us hear no more, we re-
peat, of the charge that the Democrats
of Virginia tolerate boss.
Only two days ago FITz LEE was
said to be Mr.. BARBoUR's candidate.
Here is a paragraph which appeared in
Tuesdays Tribune
Z" The Democrats Of Virginia will
hold their Convention tomorrow. IL
seems TO be settled that Fitzhugh Lee
will be nominated for Governor. Of
course when the Bourbon leaders de-
termine beforehand who shall be their
candidate it is not boss rule, but 'popu-
lar will"
The words boss rule " were in
tended to apply to Mr.. BARBOUR.
Take one side or the other, gentle
men. Either FITz LEE was the
Boss's" fayorite or he was not. If
he was, the Boss" was not defeated
in his own Convention. If he was not,
and &" the machine did not triumph,
then the Democrats OF Virginia have
no boss.

that it is united, and one great reason
why there "necd not be mach
uneasiness as TO what the decision
will be" lies in the fact that
the people have had more than
enough Of the truculent efforts Of the
HALsTEADs, the REDS, the LooANs,
ct id op,ne genus, to keep one section
arrsyed against another and TO revive
dead issues. They have had more than
enough ofthc bloody shirt and the lurid
literature Of the Radical irreconcilables
for whom the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette speaks. The indications are
that they are SO very tired of the me-
thods championcd by the apostles oil
hate that they will cndeavor to get a
long rest.

A Resolution Adopted in Respect TO
the Great Soldier.
HON. JOHN w. DANIEL.
Ringing Speech from Hin Endorsing the
Candidates and Platform.
ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE
Tire Work Well Done; the Convention Ad.
jonrned; Delegates Homeward Bound.

The Convention reassembled at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, and
Mr.. Massey was presentedby the
committee appointed to wait upon
him, and made speech in which
he gracefully endorsed the nomination
of Fitz Lee and reviewed some of the
tactics and policies Of the Republicans.
His expression that the creditors of the
State must accept the Riddleberger set
Element :" or take nothing" was greatly
applauded. With good tact, but with
out precisely naming the thing, he ut
tered warning to Democrats not to
allow themselves to become embroled
in the senatorial contest in choosing
legislators.
Next, the Hon. p. W. Mckinney was
introduced and received a most enthu-
siastic welcome. Nothing could have
been more pleasantly or heartily eX-
pressed than his allusion to his unsuc-
cessful candidacy, and his declaration
that his old commander Fits Lee should
have his untiring support. His speech
was gloriously patriotic; was cheering
in phrase and spirit, and thoroughly
captivating to the people. The sena-
torial kiss (of Malone and Riddle
berger he called the kiss Of death-of
political death.
The Convention now proceeded to
complete the ticket, and Hon. John L.
Hurt and Hon. John E. Massey were
placed in nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, resulting in the selection of
the latter.
General James A. Walker, Rufus A.
Ayres, Esq, and Mr.. Il. X. Henry
were put in nomination for the Office Of
Acknowledgement. All three of these
gentlemen live in the Ninth congress
sionsl district. On the call of the roll
Walker had 354 votes--within IL Of
the nomination. Then commenced much
changing. and soon the tide turned in
favor OIL Ayres, VINO nad alIeauy III
votes. Finally he was nominated by
reclamation.
Mr.. Barbour was reelected chair
man of the State and of the Executive
Committees, and resolution Of sympa-
thy with the family OF General Grant
was adopted by rising vote. Then
the platform was read by Clerk John
Bell Bigger and adopted. 1t appeared
to be largely in the handwriting Of the
Hon. John W. Daniel.
Subsequently Major Daniel addressed
the Convention, and was received with
royal welcome. He spoke briefly,
eloquently, and to the hearts Of the
people, especially in showing what good
things Cleveland has done for the South
and for the country.

General Grant.

The Democratic State Convention
passed yesterday, by a unanimous rising
vote, resolution referring in fitting
terms to the death Of General GRANT,
and expressing the sympathy of its
members in the great afiliction Of Mrs.
GRANT.
The same day the telegraph brought
the news that Mrs. GRANT, carrying
out the wishes Of the deceased soldier,
had asked the President to appoint
among the pall-bearers a distinguished
Confederate general to act with each
distinguished Federal general.
Surely, we have a united country.

HUkRAH FOR FITZ LEE
Lynchburg News


The Convention made short work Of
IT'S business. And it made good work.
1t put things through with a rush. CAL
liant Fltz Lee is the man. He will
rouse the people TO a high pitch Of en-.
thusia,m. and he will be elected. The
fact that he was nominated on the first
ballot shows the wonderful unanimity
OF the representatives Of the people from
all parts Of the State. 10 shows that
this nomination came from the pe0ple.
and the people will make it good on
November 81. The Ners has its choice.
and 1t will joyfully follow the waving
plume Of Nlrglnia's Henry OF Navarro,
LEAD on, GENERAL LEE.
Washington Post.l
The Virginia Democrats have done
themselves proud. Ignoring all purely
personal ambitions, they have nomi-
mated for Governor man whose claims
were the claims Of the party at large.
and who will carry the State in Noyem-
Der, all the Mahones in Christendom TO
the contrary notwithstanding. His
name is Fithugh Lee.
Let the battle begin forthwith. The
issue is one between honesty and
shame, between honorable men and
political prostitutes. There must he
no quarter asked or given. Virgin,
has at last the opportunity to stamp
out Mshonelsm with one blow, and
'lrglnians must see that the task is
accomplished. From now until No
vemoer every Democrat in the Com
monweaith should be up and doing.
Let them work as they never worked
before. Let them give every spare
hour to the service Of the State. As
csfeat will be ruin, so should defeat be
impossible. They must conquer, aud
they will.
Lead on, General Lee.

The Defeated Aspirants.

Never in any previous State Conven-
ton did we find so universal deter
mination to know no favorites, no per-
sonal preferences, nothing but the
cause. The defeated aspirants were no
exception to this rule. MCKINNEY,
MASSEY, BAKER p. LEE, WALKER,
HENRY-all, all manifested the best
possible spirit. Their tongues were
rather loosened than palsied by defeat.
They spoke as warmly for the good
cause as if they had been the standard
bearers Of the party.

SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

At 10 o'clock yesterday the Theatre
was thrown open and the delegates
commenced to pour in. The attend
ance was not so large as the day before.
Mr.. Pollard called the Convention to
order and made personal explanation
of remark which was made in an
aside voice, but which was nevertheless
correctly reported. He did not intend
by that remark TO cast any reflection
upon the noble men who represented
Richmond in the Convention. He
wished this to be distinctly understood.
His remarks were greeted with applause.

The Convention and It's Work.

The Convention and It's Work.
The platform adopted yesterday by
the Democratic State Convention is a
document that il will please the people
to read. 1t is expressed in vigorous
English. No one can object That any
sentence in it does BOT stand for def
mite idea. There is nothing new in its
utterances, so far as the doctrines these
teach are concerned-certainly nothing
new TO the readers Of the Dispatch.
We note, first. that the collecting
officers of the Commonwealth are to be
Unidentified for any pecuniary losses
they may be called upon to suffer as a
consequence Of the faithful discharge
Of their duties and their obedience to
the laws Of Virginia.
We note, secondly, that the platform
fully endorses the position that the
public debt has ceased to be mere
question Of finance and become one OF
State sovereignty.
We note, thirdly, that the BLAIR
bill is endorsed. We have from the be-
ginning advocated its passage.
We note, fourihly, that the public
school system is recognized in fitting
terms of praise.
We note, filthy, that the people are
to be allowed local option in the matter
of granting liquor licenses.
We note, sixthly. that Confederate
soldiers are not to be sighted.
We note, seyenthly. most excellent
resolution and satisfactory declaration
on the tariff question. Read that reso-
luton for yourselves, workingmon.
We note, eighthly, that the Conven-
ton declared for "the complete and
unconditional abolition Of the inter-
nal-revenue system. We call attention
TO this declaration-especially the at
tention Of those Republicans who say
that the Democrats, having got the
Offices. don't want internal taxes abol-
ished. We concede that Republican
Senate will never allow them TO be
abolished. Let us get a Democratic
Senate and see what it will will do.
We note, ninthly, sensible de-
claration in regard to convict labor.
Read it.
We note, tenthly, a common-sense
declaration in regard to civil-service
reform.
