GRAFTON, ". Va, August l2.-The
delegates on the trains coming this even.
ing were met by members OF local COM
mittee OF reception composed Of leading
Democratic citizens who did what they
could to make it pleasant for the visitors.
Tho convention bids fair to be OF good
size, though it is doubtful if the more
distant counties will be largely repre-
sented. The convention will be called
10 order shortly after the forenoon trains
are in by Chairman Riley, who will
name Hon. William Il. Travis, OF Jefier-
son county, as the temporary chairman.
All the Indications are thatif any ballot
is taken Tor the nomination for Supreme
Judge it will be mere matter OF form,
rs Lucas will be nominated practically
without opposition, though Tyler coun-
ty instructed her delegates for Judge
Jnmes G. Armstrong, OF Hampshire coun-
ty. 1t is said here tonight that bis name
was used without his authority and that
he is not an aspirant. Judge Moreland
and Judge Ice are both named, but this
is also said to be against their own
wishes. ~ . =gss
The fact that there is sentiment OF
opposition to LucAs is undenied, but
it cannot 60 far find anything to crystal
ize on. The nominee must, OF course,
be Second district man, as Judge
Brannon is from the First, Judge Snyder
from the Third and Judge English from
the Fourth 80 that the 81, gestiou OF
Judge Mum Jackson's name was very
thoushtlees, as was also the rumor that

named in the convention.

rLEAs FOR HARMONY.
Senator Faulkner's speech was char.
acteristic one, without anything new in
it. Scar Reed" "the Republican de-
monetiza,ion OF silver" and the Mckin'

short on this account. z. :. :,
