but the experiment fell through
During the day the members from inc
Southwes, held several informal corfer-
cnces, but no solution OF the matter was
reached. When the caucus convened a
definite programme seemed TO be stu
lacking. Chairman Ryan announced nomina-
lions to he in order and Mr.. Cooke. OF
Norfolk. had read mis- speech. wherein he
nominated Speaker Cardwell. before scnd-
Tor Watts asked 10 be recognized by the

10 select ID candidate for them. This re-
aue.t met with a good deal OF opposition.
but the cooler heads apparently discovered
that it would not do for the rest Of the
state 10 fan out with the Southwest
and the request was gracefully granted.
The selection Of Hon. John 4. Buchanan,
OF Smyth. was the result.
The Valley Candidate.
Encouraged by the success OF the
Southwest the members OF the Valley
put forth their efforts 10 induce the eau
Gus 10 help them out Of the difficulty by
selecting for them candidate out OF
the three I'm the field. This was also
agreed to after a good deal of dickerins
and bargaining. and by the assistance or
the caucus Hon. George NJ. Harrison, OF
Stanton. became the candidate Of the
Valley.

proceedings should be carried out in refer
ence 10 the other sections, when Mr..
Sanders. OF Franklin. moved that the
caucus in like manner pick out the
most suitable candidate OF their three

But the attempt ended right there for
Mr.. Nicol. of Prince William, put his foot
down and called attention to the fact
that the caucus had decided on the pre-
vious evening how the nominations should
be made.
The members then went through the
ordeal of nominating speeches. and after
they had grown tired of listening to all
kinds of eulogies the vote was taken
Fortunately only one ballot was neces-

Messrs. G.. NJ. Harrison. of Staunton; j.

while allowing the creditor what was

With this congress as with several before

tA to . long conversation on the asricul-

which WAS due to q general discomfort of
the people. tits just like the case of the
first Republican congress, which met De-
cember, 1885. and was all winter in get
ting organized. It was the Banks congress,
/ mean. The people had suddenly got
dissatisfied and elected congress on a
basis of general opposition, and it took a
long time for opinions TO crystalline. For
the last 90 years or so the people have been
growing moro and more dissatisfied as the
prices of their products went down and
wealth slipped away from them and into
the hands Of tho few, but they kept on hop
ing fer a change and voting their regular
tickets At last they gave up in despair
and vstcd the revolution of 1890. In 1892
they elected under the general name of
Democrats a set Of men who range all the
way from high protectionists and gold
bugs to straightout free traders, single
takers and believers in a silver basis.
What difference is there, except perhaps
on some features of the tariff, between
some Of these and the Republicans? If a
man believes in protection and monomet-
allism, why isn't he just as much a Repub-
lican as John Sherman"
