The Democratic Convention TO be
Held in Richmond.

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun 4
RICHMOND, Va, May 1s.-The State
democratic committee meeting here to-
night was more largely attended than
any gathering of that body for some years
past. Not emily was there an unusual
full attendance of the members of the
committee but many well-knOwn poll
tlcians frOm different sections of the State,
not connected with the committee, were
in the city. Hon. Basil 3. Gordon, the
chairman, presided. The object of the
meeting, which was called one, was to
fix time AID place for holding the State
convention which is to nominate Cover
nor. Lieutenant-G Governor and attorney
general and adopt a platform of principles
upon which the campaign OF this year is
to be fought.
The committee decided that the basis
OF representation to the convention shall
be one delegate to every 100 voters and
one delegate for each fraction thereof in
excess of fifty cast for Cleveland at the
last presidential election. That vote was
| l63 81, which on the basis agreed upon
tonight VIII give convention of about
| $40 members. This will be body about
as large as that which assembled here
last May to elect delegates to the CHI
cago convention ana which was found so
unwieldy.
An hour OF more of the committed
time was occupied tonight in discussing
a proposition TO prohibit members from
sending proxies to persons other than
representatives Of their own congressional
districts. 1t was finally agreed to by a
decisive vote.
In advocating large convention Major
Camm Patterson, of Buchanan county
made the most stirring speech of the even
ing. He believed that it was in the
interest of the people of the State to have
a gathering which secured the fullest
representation. This, the speaker de
clared. is, in his judgment, the most
important epoch in the financial history
of the country since 1873. He believed
that the country people be heard in this
campaign. The present financial ques-
tions, the Major asserted, are of the high
est importance to them.
The committee named as the place
Richmond and August Il as the time fol-
holding the convention. The only com
peti,ors for the convention were Rich
mond and Norfolk city. The claims o
these cities were ably represented before
the committee. The vote stood: Rich
mond, 10 Norfolk, II.
Now that the place and time of holding
the State convention have been determiu
ell the gubernatolial canvass will he cor
Quoted with more yigor than has here
torore characterized it All three candi
dates are working earnestly TO advance
their interests, but mp to this time there
has been no marked interest manifested
Ivy the people. Correspondence from al
over the State indicate that in many, /
not in most, localities public sentiment
has not ciystalzed as to gubernatoria
preferences. This seems to be especially
true of parts of the Southside, Underwater
and Northern neck.

No greater evidence OF the vast trade
and industrial development of the new
I life and activity reported in Baltimore
could be given than is found in the publ
cation of 6l-page special issue Of the
Baltimore News devoted to the progress
AID prosperity of Baltimore and the
South. This is the largest paper ever
published south of New York, and its list
of contents is the most remarkable ever
seen in any one issue of any daily paper
Ten Southern Governors write of the re-
sources and advantages Of their respective
States. Hon. Robert P. Porter, the
Superlntendent Of the Census, gives an
official census review Of the South. Mr..
Richard H. EdmOnds, under whose edito-
rial charge this issue was prepared writes
of the conditions of the South prior to the
war. and of its progress since then, and
editOrally discusses every phase of South
elm advancement Many special writers
contribute special articles on the South
and its varied resources. The News shows
that Baltimore has entered upon a new
era of progress, in fact, that the whole
city IS being revo,utionized that $50
0OO, 600 are going into new development
enterprises and municipal improvements,
including S15,OOOOOO in the building Of
over two hundred miles of electric
and cable railways, 100000 in a
belt line and tunnel, millions In build
ing operations, half a million in the
largest hog and beef packing establish
ment east of Chicago, etc. 1t also shows
that Baltimore's population is increasing
at the rate of about 80, 900 a year. and
that its manufacturing capital has in
creased from s35, 5000 in 1850 TO over
800 600, OCO at present. The growth of
the South as shown by the figures has
been simply marvellous, notwithstanding
the temporary stringency which has re-
tarded business interests since the Barring
failure.
The Soutb's gain in population from 81
to 1891, says The News, was only about
20 per cent WITH only this increase in
which should be remembered |
in order to appreciate what that section /
has accomplished. the South increased |
its grain production from 100000 coo |
bushels in 1881, to GU, 100000 bushels in
1s9l-a gam of &C per cent; its cotton
crop increased from $500 600 bales to
Q 600, 900 bales or Ga per cent. 1t prac-
tcally created in that period its eaily
vegetable and fruit business for Northern
markets, which now yields up0ards Of
so, 00) COO a year, aud largely added to
its cotton, rice and sugar crops. It's pig
iron production, which was 4jl 900 tots
IN 1881, was 1000 OOO tons IN 1892; its
coal output rose from 100000 tons to
p 600, 900 tons ITS cotton spindles from
SCI 600 to 2 100000; it's cotton seed OIL
industry from an investment OF s., 800 coo
to about $40 600 900; its railroad mileage
23,sll miles to $500 miles; it largely
more than doulled its banking business,
Increasing the number of its nation Il
banks from 223 TO G77, and their aggre-
gate capital from S45. 900, COO to $4,000
30 1t aided to the assessed value of its
property nearly $4,000, 900. 900 or G5 per

Weather crop Bulletin.

CENTRAL OFFICE, LYNcHBURG, Va,
May %, 1893 During the past seven
days there has been generally less than
the average amount OF rainfall, except
in tie extreme north, north-ceDtral,
and portions Of the eastern counties. But
during the ficst part OF the week there
was more than the normal amount Of
cloudy weather. The temperature Mas
below the normal during the frkt four
days, with decidedly cool nights but has
been followed by warmer weather since
Friday. The eantinued cool temperature
proved somewhat injurious to growing
crops, by retardiug their growth, and has
affected the irnit crop unfavorably by
causing the young fruit to drop off. The
peanut crop is coming up rather slowly,
and much Of the seed is thought to have
rotted in the ground In the. Southwest
section, corn is also thought to be SINH
larly injured. Cut worms are reported as
damaging the corn in Page county. To-
bacco plants arc being set out in tie
southern counties, though the plants have
been somewhat retarded by the cool
weather. Com planting is generally
completed. All garden truck is back
ward, but the warmer weather of the last
few days has caused a decided improve
ment in all kinds of vegetation, and
warm rams on Saturday ard SUI in
the northern sections have p y
beneficial to growing yegetat y,

Is not so good. Continued warm weather
