THE vICE-PREsDENCY.
NorEs AVID OuHoAa-iloanoso Tinn:H,
seems 70 be the general impression that Gov
ornor Lees ce-presdential boom died al Nor,
folk, and that Governor Gray, OF INDIANA, VIII
be the choice Of Virginia Democrats Tor tnal
ofice lFitz died by his own desire Editor
No Jo's VTginian.l
II Is we'll known that a resolution cudors-
ing Governor Lee for the vice-presidency
would have gone through the Democratic
Convention at Norfolk with Wh0Op. II
was not offered IN Difference TO the wishes OF
the Governor and his friends. because il was
thought best that the Virginia delegates IL
st. Louis should 90 there untrammelled
in every way, so that their course
could be decided upon after consultation
with delegates from the other states. The
general idea here is this: The South Is
ready to put up one Of her sons for the
second place on the Democratic ticket, but
will not do 20 As long as there Is the slight
est danger Of such action diminishing
the success OF the party; but will cheer
fully vote again for northern man ioT
both positions, as she has been doing for the
past twenty-iour years.
The Governor said yesterday that the mat
ter was not troubling him in the least. If
he wanted to be Nice.PTesident he should
have gone West. and as Horace Greeley put
it, grown up with the country.
