NEWSPAPERS.
For Alexandria, for Virginia and for
Democracy.

Democracy.
Features-Associated Press
Dispatches, Washington and
Richmond correspondence, dai-
ly market reports, Local News
and matters of interest to Vir-
GINA, but more especially to
this city and section of Virginia.
The GAZETTE is now the old
est paper in the State, and with
few exceptions the oldest in
the country, and its usefulness
has been demonstrated and ap-
preciated for nearly a century.
In its columns has always
been found a mirror of passing
events and the careful chron-
icing of the history of what is
going on in the world has ever
been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the
household, while in the count
ing room and workshop it has
become invaluable.
The GAZETTE, situated as 1t
is SO close to Washington, the
great centre of news, enjoys
daily the benefit of the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from
every part of the world hence
its patrons can read from its
columns in the evening what
has transpired that day in cv-
cry portion of the United States
as well as from every part of
the habitable globe. Conse-
quently it is an everyday oc-
currence for the GAZETTE to
publish kilograms from the va
rious European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier
than the morning papers.
Correspondence from Wash
ington, Richmond and every
section of Virginia is published
regularly, and all events of in
terest occurring within the
bounds of the Commonwe alth
are to be found in the columns
Of the GAZETTE.
The Local Department fur
nishes a full and complete his
tory of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this
feature will, as ever, receive
careful attention.
Another feature that serves
to make the GAZETTE a great
desideratum with merchants is
its afternoon Market Reports
from all the great centres of
the country.

J. r.. Burton as yet has no special
opposition from this district. II
looks now as if his nomination would
be made by acclamatlon. 1t is peculiar
how little the democrats or peoples
party papers object to Mr.. Burton
while be is in the field as republican
candidate for nomination. lie has
been before the people long enough 80
that he could have been thoroughly
discussed and If the opposition thought
him the wrong man the warning could
have been sounded long ago. After
his nomination they will set up howl,
but won't 1t be too late for sensible
men to be influenced by 1t. The situa-
ton is such that the objection then
made will be to the republican party
and not to J. Il. Burton. Mr.. Burton

GOV. MKINLEY PERMANENT CHAIRMAN
Gov. Mckinley this year will not be
in the position which republicans have
grown TO expect TO see him hold in
national convention. viz: That OF chair
man of the platform committee. The
reason is to be found in the fact that he
has a position Of higher rank-perma-
nent chairman-to which he was elected
by the committee on permanent organ
ization last evening.
The committee on rules organized
Immediately after adjournment of the
convention. II. II. bingham, of Penn
sylvania, was chairman and $. +. Stall,
of Arkansas, secretary. Henry ii.
Smith met with the committee and aid
ed in the work of remodeling the rules.
The rules of the first national conven-
ton were taken up. The action of the
national committee in allowing the
claims of New Mexico to six delegates
was approved
A proposition was made in the form
of an amendment that in view of the
population of Utah, as well as of the
count of the two delegations from that
territory, II be allowed four votes in
the convention. This was debated ut
considerable length, it being main
tanned that such action would have a
bad effect on other territories
When put TO a vote only seven favored
the proposition. The representation
was then allowed TO stand, two for each
congressional district and four at large
from each Of the states, six from New
Mexico, and two from each Of the other
territories and District of Columbia.
The rules Of the house Of representa-
tives OF the Fifty-frst congress in so far
as they applied were adopted. w. IL.
wilmington, Of Michigan, submitted the
following rule, which was adopted:
II shall be In order to lay on the table pro
posed amendment to any pending measure and

said:
Mr. President and Fellow Citizens-I want to
add in the presence OF this vast audience my
hearty expression Of feeling In the future of the
republican party. Applause Its past needs
the Endorsement Of no man II has tho indorsc.
ment OF history, for the deeds Of the republican
party are history itself lAppause.l And while
we are prevented from pointing with pride TO
the achievements Of our party on account Of
our tenderness for the democratic party,
Laughter and appauso,l nevertheless we SIT
here to-day rejoicing that our past history shows
that from our birth until now our charaGt@
has been such that II Is q guarantee OF the mag
nincent future we are bound TO have, lAp
plausol II Is true that we have done great
things, but II Is equally true that We have no
right TO rest upon them. Our party is glorious,
hut our future ought to be more 3d. 1t Is true
that we have given this country a wonderful
reciprocal prosperity. II is true that wealth
has been poured into the laps OF our people by
the great system which we believe In and which
we have carried out but say TO you to-day
that there Is another future even greater than
having given prosperity to country by the re-
publican party. Applause And that nobler
future II 10 give every citizen OF the United
States liberty OF thought and action. Cheers
Wealth and prosperity are notable, but human
liberty is magnificent Cheers
The other officers selected by the ma
tional committee were then chosen.
II was ordered that, until the per
manent organization should be effected,
the convention should be governed by
the rules of the last preceding repub'
| lican convention.
Ex-senator w. J. Sewell, of New Jer'
sey, presented resolution that the roll
of states and territories be called and
that the chairman of each delegation
announce the names of the persons Sc
lected TO serve on the committees as
follows: Permanent organization, rules
and order of business, credentials and
resolutions. This was adopted and the
roll of states began.
The member OF the Alabama delega
ton said that the contest in Alabama
had Just been settled and he asked thai
the state be passed until the delegates
could hold conference. This wa
agreed to and then each state as II wal
called announced through its chairman
the members 1t had chosen for servic'
on the committees.
/, When the name OF Kansas was calle'
and Senator ingalls, made his report a
chairman of that delegation, he wa
heartily applauded. An ovation equal.
flattering greeted William Warner, pas
commander-in-chief Of the G.. A. r,
when he presented the report OF tn
Missouri delegation, and Gov. Nc
Kinley when he submitted the re
port Of Ohio. The announcement
Of Gov Foraker rs Ohio's membe
OF the committee on resolutions, ais
received hearty approval Senate
Quay, OF Pennsylvania ex-senator Ma
hone, of Virginia, and ex-Senato
Spooner, of Wisconsin, were also re
ceived with enthusiasm.
Immediately after the completion {
the call of states and the announcemer
of the membership of various COMM
tees, the convention adjourned until
O'clock TODAY.

Tho alleged combine of democrats
and alliance nxers who went over into
Missouri to trade with one another and
get every man an office will amount to
little. The bulk Of the peoples party
members two years ago was made mp OF
farmers. 1t will be passing strange If
the farmers of Kansas allow themselves
to be bought and sold like 81 many
chattels. In the Missouri meeting
there were about fifteen peoples party
men, forty democrats and b. l.,
Strother, of the News. AS the Capital
says, "of the sixty five who were there,
fifteen at present hold office, twenty
have already held office and thirty want
to hold Office. A bigger combination Of
political bosses, hxers, tricksters, heel
ers, wire pullers and frauds never goI
together" Such a crowd cannot
handle Kansas.

II was fitting perhaps, that the patri-

convention, and hardly had the last
