fer, Phd. He was followed by j..

the Sunday School Teacher in his
study, in his class, in his life.

book from which the lesson is taken,
and that in his life he reflect the d.

were characterized by thought and the
music was fine.

Among the many complimentary mott
ces the press has given of our late editor,
Maj. S. M. Yost, we note the following,
from the Greenbrier Independent:
ssMa'. S. NJ Yost has re tired from the editorial
control and mar cement Of the VALLEY VIR-
GINIAN published at Clifton Forge, and c. F.
Moore, ESQ.,, has been unanimously chosen by
the company in his stead. Whether or not MIR.
Moore will accept has not been made known.
Major Yost assigns his desire for rest, after for
ty years of labor as 1itor, as the reason forh1s
resignation Of his post. He has long been con-
sidsred one of the ablest and most versatile
editorial writers in the Old Dominion and his
,tirement will be a serious loss to journalism
in that State. He is a Republican. but has al
ways been fair and conservative and as cham
plon of the principles of his party was second to
no Republican iitor in the South.

Among the many and able persons
mentioned as suitable to succeed the late
John s. Barbour as United States Sena

the appointment, than the Hon. Thos.

are able to ascertain. he is widely en-
dorsed and has good chance to get the
plum.

Richmond Convention.

At the recent Convention held ia Rich
the purpose of selecting delegates to the
National Convention to be held at Chi
cago on the 21st day Of June, Senator
John w. Daniel S. Wexford Corbin.
John Goode and Basil Gordonwere ehos
en- as delegates at large. The selections
made by the various Congressional dis
tricts were as follows

VIM. A. Young; Third, G. Y. Meredith
and DR. b. L. Winston; Fourth, 4. T.

Eighth, }. G. Gibson and j i. Ryan
ninth, II. G. Stuart and A. Fulkerson !;
Tenth, Taylor Berry and N W. Paxton
OF these twenty-four delegates it is I'M
derstood that twelve are for Cleveland
as their first choice and twelve against
him. At one time during the session Of
the Convention the fight between these
two wings Of the party waxed warm and
the forces being almost evenly divided, Il
long and exciting contest seemed almost
inevitable; but the more conservative
and conciliatory element of the two fac
lions conferred and agreed upon a com.
promise which was acceptable to all and
restored harmony. The delegates all
went home apparently pleased with the
outcome.
Basil Gordon was elected chairman of
the State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, to which position he elevated
three years ago, but on account of fails
ing health resigned and was succeeded
by ]. Taylor Ellyson. Mr.. Eilyson was
not candidate for reelection. Holmes

tors at large. The platform adopted
conforms in the main to that of the par>
ty in the last State campaign.

The election for corporation officers
takes place today, the fourth Thursday
in May The contest for the mayoralty
is between A. II. Fultz the incumben mt
of the o fee, Heber Ker and W.T.. McCue
They are all worthy men, and the city
will suffer no detriment by the election
of either That is one source of satisfac>
ton with the people, consequently there
is no unusual excitement oyer the issue,
although the friends of each are earnest
and active. There are several candi-
dates for Commonwealth Attorney
Geo. s. Lightner, r. S. Turk, ]. L. Bum
gardner and I. Kinney. All of them
are working like beavers, cards bearing
the names of candidates circulating
freely and stuck up in every Office
and public place. 1t is claimed that
the old Council will be reelected in
both wards, although there is a lively
where three of the old Council, viz, r.
P. Bell, A. j. Butts and J. f. TannehilI,
will be opposed by o. NJ. Goode, B. F.
Hughes and Geo. w. May, active work
ers and popular. The City Sergeant,
Logan Turner, has no opposition, but
the Constable, Geo. A. Hutcheson, has
three competitors in W. D. Runnels, M.
f. Peterfish and Vim. F. Snapp. There
may be others, but as yet they are not
prominently announced. The present
Council has been the most useful the
city has had for many years. While
mistakes may have been made by it,
where SO much new work and such
large improvements have been under.
taken, taking it as whole, it has been
an efficient, progressive and eminentiy
successful legislative body. s.M.Y.
