The Convention Unanimously Agrees
On the General.

NORFOLK, Va, August 22.-When Chair
man Malone called the state convention to
order at 1890 to-day, the Academy OF
Music was crowded to Overlooking with del
gates, alternates aud visitors. In address
ing the convention Malone reviewed the his
tory OF the party since the Mosart hall con-
vention ten years ago, and made sharp at
tack upon what he called the unfair methods
of the democratic party at the polls.
He contended that neither men nor capital
would seek the state so long as this condi-
tion OF things lasted. He charged that the
democratic party had wasted the public
the matter of tho public dept, he believed
the thoughtful and best people OF
the state demanded that the state debt be
honorably settled. The people of the state
were not disposed to carry the burden of
present taxation when over % per cent of the
expenses of government were unnecessary
AT 1853 the chairman introduced ii. &.
Wood, OF Scott county as temporary chair
man. After the introduction and adoption
of resolutions for the appointment of various
committees and the cali of the roll, the con-
vention took recess until o'clock.
After recess General Malone was uomi-
mated for governor by Colonel Lamb, of
Norfolk The nomination was seconded by
S. Brown Allen, of Stoneton, and II. A.
Powell, (colored) of Richmond, who hereto
fore has been n prominent anti-Mahone re-
publican. General Malone was nominated
by acclamation and accepted the nomination
in a brief speech. Campbell S. $. Lemp, of
Lee county, was nominated for lieutenant

FAIrHFuL TO THE LAST.
Commander Davis Last Thoughts
Were On the Encatnpment.

CHICAGO, August % Special Telegram
to THE BEE. Mrs Johnston daughter Of
the deceased Department Commander Davis,
of Nebraska, said of her father;
"He seemed TO suffer less pain toward the
last and his death was an unexpected shock
to us. During the whole Of his stay here he
has been busy about the coming eucamp-
ment. 1t was the only subject upon which
his mind turned. l have myself acted as
his secretary since he became too i'll to
write himself"
Major Davis was the first of the depart
ment commanders who urged the adoption OF
of the now famous "l-cent-per-m!len rate,
which has grown into such vexed dispute
between the Grand Army and the rail
roads.
A curious and interesting incident con-
nected with the funeral is the fact that Mrs
Davis body is to be brought on from Wahoo
to Chicago. 1t is now on the cars coming
here. The remains of the husband and
wife are TO travel on side by side to
their old home in New York, where they
will be Inferred with all the pomp aud cir
cumstance of military funeral. Mrs. Davis
died two years ago, and the moving of her
body and its burial with her husbands is in
accord with one of his last requests.
Senior Commander Colonel Morrison will
now command the department of Nebraska
and will represent that body at milwaukee,.

to meet this Canadian competition, although

consequence in the reduction of all the rates

anu SiXty-t 1gnt rect.
INDIANAPoLIs, August 22.-The scheme
for the erection of monument to the SOL
diers and sailors of Indiana was originated
by George j. Langsdale, editor of the Green
Castle Qnd.) Banner, in 1875 At a reunion
in Indianapolis during October of that year,
the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monu-
ment association was organized. The asso-
ciation after meeting with many reverses,
secured the passage of q hill by the legisla-
ture of 1SS6-S7 appropriating SOD, 900 for the
erection of monument. This, with the
S22 600 contributed by the G.. A. r., enabled
the co mmittee TO begin work in earnest. The
design of Bruno SchmitZ, of Berlin, was
accepted. The contractors expect to have
the pedestal of the monument ready for
ornamentation by November, 1850. The
monument will be built of light
grey limestone from the Stmeville, Ind,
quarries. When completed it will be 26S
feet high. The diameter of the ground to
be occupied is 1872 feet. On the north and
south sides will be wide steps of stone
seventeen feet in length, leading to the plat
form of the terrace, from which the interior
is reached by bronze doors. Above these
doors largo ia )lets will bear inscriptions
commemorative of the part born in the war
by the different counties, and above the
tablets is u dedication inscription:
'To Indiana's silent victors, by grateful
state"

ST. PAUL August 22.-Gratifying crop re-
ports come from all points along the line Of
the Omaha road. The rain which fell gen.
orally during Monday night has proved bene-
fetal to corn, and the prospects are very en-
couraging as far as that cereal is concerned
Flax was also greatly benefited by the
heavy showers and the outlook for that crop
is of the most promising character. From all
points come reports that the crops still un-
harvested are looking well and big yields are
anticipated. All other crops have been
secured in good condition, and the wheat
yield is larger than usual. Stacking is now
about finished all over The vast territory
through which the Omaha stretches, ana
threshilg is in full blast.
Grain is turning out well, and farmers are
in good spirits. Wheat ranges from 10 to 30
bushels per acre; oats 40 to rs; barley, is to
40, and fax 10 to Is.
Reports received from Minnesota Iowa
and South Dakota say the rain will greatly
improve corr, hay and potatoes, but it has
stopped threshing at some points.
Corn promises to be more than an average
crop.

LONDON, August a. New York Herald
Cable-Special TO The BEE. THE queen has
commuted the sentence of death against
Mrs Maybrick into one of penal servitude
for life The decision was announced to
the unfortunate woman last evening.
Sir John Puleston, as expressing u natural
and kindly interest in the prisoner, endeav-
ored in tho conrse OF this afternoon to obtain
from the secretary an expression Of opinion,
but Mr. Matthews laid down the principle
that advice rendered TO her majesty under
such circumstances could not be made for
questions in the house. 1t is under
stood that what governed the home
secretary in recommending tho pre-
rogative of mercy to the crown
was the doubt as to whether sufficient ar
senic had been administered to Maybrick to
cause his death, and as to whether death
really came from arsencal poisoning. The
unanimous opinion of the judges, whose ad-
vice was sought by Matthews, and who
studied the evidence, was that Mrs May
brick had given her husband poison with in
tent to kill.
The result OF the trial is therefore that
Mrs. Maybrick Is held by the law of Eng
land as guilty of adultery and of having en-
deavored TO poison her husband, and for
these crimes she must undergo imprison-
ment for life.
The nome secretary distinctly states that
petitions for release or commutation will not
be considered. The home secretary has ar
rived at the conclusion which the Herald
expressed the morning after the sentence,
namely, that the trial had been so conducted
that as to the guilt of the prisoner the doubt
remained, which, under the law of England.
made capital punishment impossible.
The practical result of the agitation in the
Maybrick case will be the creation of II court
Of appeal.
