IN VIRGINIA.
Every Reference to Cleveland
Heartily ADpIauded.

4 NORFOLK, Va, May 16.-The Demo
cratic state convention is in session
here to-day. engaged in selecting dele
gates at large to st. Louis and preSiden-
tial electors. The most prominent

Senator John Daniels, John GOode,
Philip W. Mckinney, Congressman
c. L. O'Ferrall, George c. Able,
R. c. Marshall and Henry Heaton.
If any platform is adopted it will be
short, the opinion of majority of the
delegates being that the national con-
ventiOn is so near as to make it mad
visable to discuss the tariff question at
any length. At 12:45 Chairman Bar
bour called the convention to order, and
w. W. Berry. of Nelson county, was
made temporary chairman. The con-
vention was addressed by Standardized
Barbour, Gov. Lee, Senator Daniel and
John GOOde. Every reference to Presi-
dent Cleveland was applauded. r. H.

manent chairman. Richard F. Birns.
Editor of the Richmond State, and John
L. Harris were chosen electors at large,

CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS.
Depew and Blaine Pretty Evenly
Cheered,

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May 16.-The
Republican convention was called to
order this morning at the Hyperion
theater by Temporary Chairman John
A. Tibbits, and the temporary organi-
cation was made permanent. Mr.. lib
bits addressed the convention. He al
luded to the great responsibility of Con-
necticut as pivotal state, and outlined
the paramount issue as protection
against the free trade message of Mr..
Cleveland by which the Democratic
party must stand or fall. The real Re-
publican platform would be the re-
spouse to the presidential message that
came across the ocean as swiftly as the
telegraph could bring it, He further
alluded to Blaine as the splendid
leader in the campaign of 1884, the
greatest living American statesman,
who thoroughly represents American
spirit, who always flies the American
flag and American eagle, which is al
ways On his shoulder, who is the choice
of rank and file of the Republican party
i'll this state and every other
state" The applause was pro-
longed. Allusions were also made
to Gen. Hawley and Senator
Platt as fayorite sons and to the grand
VI CudullCS NJ. De-
peW'S name was applauded almost as
vociferOusly as Blaine's. The speaker
asserted that the tariff must be revised
to suit the shifting conditions, and that
the Democratic free trade would fail,
because the American reads and thinks
for himself. Democratic civil service
reform was denounced as transparent
fraud, which makes even the MugWump
sick at heart and sick at the stomach.
If any of the delegates elected to the
convention should say to James G.
Blaine, ''YOu must again be our stand
ard bearer, and this time we will carry
it to the White house." there is not a
Republican who, in his heart would not
say amen" At the close of MI lib
bits speech the ballot for delegates at
large was begun and resulted as fol-
lows: Samuel Fessenden, Samuel
Warner, E. S. Day, E. S. Henry. The
platform denounces the presidents tar
if policy; calls for liberal pensions;
ridicules administration civil service
record, and promises hearty support to
the nominee of the Chicago convention.

spectacular display, is demoralizing in
its tendencies. and that from theatrical
representations of that kind the theater
goer will do well to steer clear. But
there are hundreds of plays which
preach as powerful sermons as any
heard from pulpit, which are faultless
in moral tone, admirable in construc-
ton and elevating in influence. The
world is the better for the writing of
plays of this kind, instances of which
will occur to the mind of every theater
goer, and those who witness them are
the better also.
That DR.. MUNHALL should not be
able to see virtue in theatrical repre-
sensations of this class does not argue
we'll for his possession of very liberal
state of mind.

KILLED HIS BROTHER.
A Georgia Boy Shoots His Brother
With a Shotgun.

With a Shotgun.
MACON, Ga. May 15.-From Fancy
Bluffs, in Glynn county, this state,
comes news of tragedy in which a
nine-year-oid boy murdered his six-year-
old brother. The father is Col. John F.
Williamson, one of the most prominent
men of his section of the state. He and
his family have just arrived from a
journey, and the children were put to
bed in the same room. After they had
said their prayers, Mrs. Williamson
Joined her husband down stairs. Five
minutes after they were startled by the
report of gun in the boys room.
When Col. Williamson reached the
door the elder boy was standing in the
floor. In reply to the question. "What
has happened?" he replied: ''Oh, it's
all right, nobody is hurt The father
and mother pushed into the room. On
the bed lay the youngest child. his head
literally blown to pieces. The weapon
was heavily-loaded shotgun and must
have been held within few inches of
the victim. The unconcern of the
youthful murderer was appalling. He
admitted the killing, but said, laugh
ingly, whats the good of brother
anyway" Col. Williamson says that
the young murderer must be either
half witted or insane. The brothers
had always appeared to have great love
for each other.

ALLISON, DEPEw, GRESHAM, ct al,
were doing the same thing. For the
situation is very simple. On the one
hand is perfect enjoyment and renewed
health and strength: on the other is
anxiety, animosity and exhaustion.
For what? The empty honor of being
named as the man whom the Repub-
lican convention would like to see
president of the United States.
That it amounts to anything more
than that even the Republican candi-
dates themselves, skilled as they are in
noting the trend of public sentiment,
can hardly believe.

JUST A WORD MORE.

AT the risk of exposing ourselves to
the charge of repetition the GLOBE
again impresses upon the delegates to
the Democratic convention to-day the
words of counsel to which we gave ut
terance on yesterday.
A Democratic convention is no place
for factional strife. The Democratic
party was never designed to be boss
ridden party. And surely the mass of
Democratic voters will never submit to
machine methods or ring domination.
The delegates who assemble in con-
yentiOn to-day should remember that
they are acting in representative ca
pacity. They are here for the purpose
of discharging sacred trust, which has
been committed to them by the great
body of Democratic voters.
Principles are everything, men are
nothing. The Democratic party is at
the crisis of its career. Wise and Judi
cious action on the part of its members
will ensure unlimited perpetuation of
its power. One false step may prove its
destruction.
At such crisis he who seeks to in
terpose his individuality as bar to the
success of his party, or who jeopardizes
the cause by pressing his personal
claims upon the convention, is a traitor.
lie is worse than an open enemy.
1t is the welfare of the Democratic
party the delegates to this convention
are sent here to look after, and not to
promote the ambitious purposes of in
dividual office-seekers. 1t is taken for
granted. that the Democrats of Mime
sofa are capable of taking care of their
party organization and of shaping its
policy without the dIctation or influence
of persons who have no interest in
the party further than their own
personal preferment is concerned.
1t is in consideration of these facts that
the GLOBE again urges upon the mem
bers Of to-day's convention to come
together in the spirit of harmony, and
inspired with patriotic zeal to do
everything that will rebound to the
party's good and to do nothing that will
hazard its success. If faction shows its
head, crush it. If fractional leaders at
tempt to air themselves before the con-
vention, relegate them to the rear rank
at once.
There will surely be enough true
Democrats who are Democrats from
principle in the convention to-day who
will have the wisdom, the courage and
the patriotism to rescue their party
from the paw of the boss and from the
mouth of the demagogue. Let them
do it.

STATE POLITICS.
Gilman Favored.

Kanabee County Times.
1t is rumored that G. A. Gilman will
be an independent candidate for the
nomination for governor this year. We
did not entertain very high estima-
ton of Mr.. Gilman two years ago, but
recognizing the fact that the clique who
read him out of the convention con-
tanned the worst element of the Repub-
lican party, we have changed our mind
since then. We verify believe that MIR.
Gilman is the strongest man with the
people that the Republican party could
put UP except Knute Nelson.

Whence all this nervousness in work

the state campaign? 1t will be three
months or more before nominations are
made, and by that time the political at

There is little to be gained by fighting

LOVE IS WELCOME.

When the down is on the chin,
And The golden CLEAN in the hair;
Wen the birds their sweethearts win
And champagne is in the air,
Love is here and love is there,
Love is welcome everywhere.
Summers cheek too soon turns thin,
DAYS grow briefer, sunshine rare;
Autumn from his cannekin
Blows the froIh to chase despair;
Love is met with frosty stare,
Cannot house meath branches bare.
When new red is in the rose
And new life is in the leaf.
Though loves SIaytime be as brief
AS dragon fy's repose.
Never moments come like these,
Be they heaven or hell-who knows?
All too soon comes winters grief,
Spendthrift loves false friends turn foes
Softly comes old age, the thief.
Steals the RAPTURE. leaves the throes;
Love his mantle round him throws

YOUTH RETURNED.

The hills were round us, and the breeze
Went DER the sunlit fields again;
Our foreheads felt the wind and rain.
Our youth returned; for there was shed
On spirits that had long been dead,
Spirits dried up and closely furl'd,
The freshness of the early world.

A Governors Duty.

Red Wing Republican.
The duty of governor is to take care
that the laws are faithfully executed.
of course, when governor reappoints
an officer who, as the governor well
knows, is neglecting and refusing to
perform duty which the law imposes
upon bin, he fails to perform his own
duty and so violates bis official oath.
After doing that it is not surprising
that he should knowingly violate a law
OF his own approval. These things Gov.
McGill has done.
