ic Convention gave the nomination for gov
ernor to Col Chas. T O'Ferrall by a large
maiority. The vote stood OFerran, 1871 ;
Tyler, 37S; Buford, IA. Only S2l votes
were necessary to nominate. The nomina-
ton was made unanimous Dol. O'Ferralfs
vote came within ten of what his friends
claimed for him. r. G. Kent Of Wythe
county. was nominated without opposition
for lieutenant governor. For attorney gen
eral, Major r. Taylor Scott, Of Fauquier,
was renominated over several competitors.
A fight was expected over the platform, a
large number Of the delegates devoutly de
string a free coinage plank, but the platform
recommended by the committee on resolu-
tions, endorsing the declarations Of the ma
tional convention Of last year on the fnan-
cisl and tariff questions was unanimously
adopted. The ticket is regarded as a very
strong one, and an old-time Democratic
maiority is expected Col O'Ferran will
retain his seat in Congress until just before
the November election. but will shortly en-
ter upon his canvass, beginning in the tide
water counties.
