COLONEL BEIRNE.
Ono Of the most prominent men in the
convention was Colonel Richard f..
Beirne, Of Hanover. editor OF tue state
and Democratic elector at large for Nir-
ginia. When his name was mentioned
as chairman Of the Committee on Reso-
lutions it was greeted with applause, and
when he arose to read the report of that
committee the convention went almost
wild with enthusiasm, and cries OF
1.-THE next Governor of Virginia y
arose from many quarters. When
Mr.. Wise concluded his mastery
speech accepting the nomination there
were loud calls for Colonel Beirne,
who came forward and made very neat
little speech, saying that he bad travelled
over a great portion of the State and
found everything hopeful. He congratu-
lated the convention on renomlnatlnR
Mr.. Wise. and said that with work the
Democratic ticket in the district and
State will be elected by unprecedentedly
large majorities. Applause and cheers.

eulogistic remarks and which was unan'

the House Of Delegates in the place o
Hon. Lyon q. Tyler, who resigned upol
his election to the presidency OF William
and Mary College.
The organization OF the Senatoria
Convention was retained.
Mr.. Bloomberg moved that the con
vention adjourn for one week. He sai(
he did this in the interest Of no candi
date, for really he did not know wha
names would be brought before the con
vention. He did not know. he said, I'M
til yesterday morning that the conven
ton would have this duty to perform
and he had no doubt that there wer
many other delegates who like himsel
had no previous knowledge OF the fact
In view of this he thought it due tn,
delegates themselves as well as their con
stituents and the gentlemen who's
names would be brought before the con
vention to postpone the matter for
week in order that each delegate nigh
well consider the merits of the differen
candidates who might be in the field.
Mr.. Otho o. Owens opposed a con
tinuance. He thought the delegate
had already had too much convention
