TO REMAIN TEN DAYS
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS DECIDES 70
EXTEND THE SESSION.
More Time Needed on the Appropriation
Bill and other Messurss-Judgs
Nominated.

One OF the most largely-attended con-
| ferences of the Democratic members OF
the General Assembly during the pres
ent session was held last night in the
hall Of .he House OF Delegates. Every
one Of the twenty. y.seven Democratic
members of the Senate were present,
and bat few of the sixty-one members
Of the House OF like political affiliations
were absent
The caucus was held primarily to nomi-
nate Judge of the Corporation Court
of the city OF Charlottesville, but the
more important and momentous ques-
ton with which il had to deal
was whether or not the present
session, which bv limitation expires
on Monday next the 5th instant,
shall be heightened in order that time
may be had for the careful consideration
of the appropriation bill and other i'm
portant measures. Several prominent
Democrats from various sections of the
State were present and lent their coun-
sci.
THE JUDGE.
II was decided to take mp the nomina-
ton of Charlotteville's Judge first, and
the names of Mr.. r. 4. W. Duke, Jr,
and Mr.. Morris were presented. The
claims OF both and their especial fitness
for the office were strongly urged by
their respective supporters.
Mr.. Duke, who is rising young law
yer of that city, received the honor and
will be made judge.
ABOUT EXTENSION.
The adjournment question was next
taken up. The learned statesmen had
all given this subject mature considera-
tion and most of them were ready to pre-
sent their views in a careful and elaborate
manner.
The opinion OF all was that the future
success of the party would largely de-
pend upon the action of this Legislature,
and the great fact stared them in the
face that the important legislation OF
the session had not all been enacted.
1t was evident from the outset that an
extension of time would be decided
upon ; in fact, there were very few who
really were opposed to remaining few
days longer, especially in view of the
fact that members took two weeks recess
at Christmas.
APPROPRIATION BILL.
The great "bugbear" was the appro-
pria,ion bill.
As stated in yesterdays Dispatch, tie
failure to pass this measure would not
only place our financial affairs in a state
of arrangement. but would necessitate
an extra session. That an extra session
will be held in the early part Of 1889 is
generally conceded, but the appropria-
tion for governmental expenses could |
not be delayed for so long time.
The House has been at work on the |
appropriation bill for several days, and |
its consideration will doubtless consume
several days more-possibly a week.
Mr. Koiner, chairman of the Senate |
Committee on Finance, stated to the |
caucus last night that his committee had |
prepared an appropriation bill which |
will be presented to the Senate this
morning and pushed with all possible |
dispatch.

y Utica correspondent of one Of the New
York papers is authority for the statement
that Gov Hill is devoting his time and in
genuity to schemes for making President
Cleveland unpopular and for creating the
impression that Hin, and not Cleveland, is
the coming man for President.
The correspondent offers in support of his
statement the following alleged facts: The
publishers of papers in New York State are
receiving printed slips suggesting that the
Presidents outspoken demand for re
duction of tariff taxes may cause
so much dissatisfaction among Demo
Gratis as to make it inexpedient TO name
Cleveland delegates TO the national conven-
ton. compromise candidate, however,
who entertains more conservative tariff
views, might bring about party unity, and
II Is minated that Gov. Hill is the man to
do this These slips, says the correspondent,
plainly come from bureau, and he is con-
fident that Gov Hill inspires them.
Further, the Governors organ at Albany is
made to play some very pretty Hill tunes,
the programme being dotted at frequent in
tervals with anti-Cleveland airs, and
throughout. the State the advocates Of Hill,
REINFORCED by disappointed office seekers,
take up the refrain, while the Governor
himself furnishes an accompaniment by
playing upon the gulliblity of the people a
strain of faint praise, which is intended to
weaken, rather than strengthen, the Presi-
dents cause
II is charged that heis aided in his scheme
- 4 1 2
and by Mr.. Randall and Senator German
Exactly how these men are working against
the President is not fully explained, but the
correspondent draws picture of Mr.. Dana
and Mr. Randall comforting in the sun
office, while Senator German remains in
Washington to keep down the Presidents
suspicious
The article is printed in and substantially
Endorsed by an anti Hill paper, and is to be
taken for what it is worth II is not
worth much Gov. Hills chances of
being nominated for President this year
are not very tlattering. If ne keeps up his
record as good public officer and safe
man, he may be called out in 1892 His
wisest course is to bow gracefully to what
seems to he the will of the people His
praise of the administration is, no doubt,
sincere, and it is highly improbable that he
had a hand in distributing matter intended
to injure Mr. Cleveland. Such printed slips
as are referred to may have been sent out,
but it must be borne in mind that
all men holding offices who control
appointments are very apt to make
some enemies, and it is probably from these
that they emanated. The charges impli-
eating Mr.. Randall and Senator German in
the scheme will likely be found equally
baselesS.
The so-caled plot was probably evolved
from the brain of the correspondent, who, as
his article indicates, has no love for Gov.
Hill.

The Doll Doctor of Leipsic.

The denizens of Lepsic, young and old, mourn
the loss of one of the most modest and retiring,
yet most skillful operators, Frau Emma Fried

half century, ever since the death of her hus-
band and child, this quaint, quiet and indefat-

the repairing and freshening up of dolls, in
which occupation she had not only attained an
incredible dexterity, but also won the hearts of

How can look at him; how can hear him

daughter of an official from one of the South

young lady, and IN order to keep her name out
of the scandal, calamity agreed to give some
other apparent preteXt for the encounter and
had a pretended quarrel over a game of bill
lizards. but those who are intimate with them
have no doubt that it was understood between
the two young pugilists that whichever was
beaten must leave the other to pay his atten-
tiOnS to the young lady without rivalry or inter
ference. They are both % or "a years of age

nearly half head taller but Jones was heavy
