the appointment OF HIP Patrick Walsh
TO succeed the late SerRtor Colquitt, ana
the vigorous defence ot the Governor by
DR.. Hawthorne.
The attitude taken by Rev. MI. Crahiiii
was that Governor Northen had over
STEPPED his religious = inclples wheh ne
ann,inted Hon. Patrick Walsh, who IL
a Catholic. TO the vacant senatorship. His
argument was as weak as his language
was severe. This unwarranted attack
upon the Governor was taken up by Or.
Jawthorne who did not hesitate TO en-
dorse what Governor Nortnen had done
from the pulpit. but also In card. in
which Rev. Cranfl received considerably
the worst of the discussion.
In secouding the nomination OF Cover
nor Northen. Dr. Hawthorne used, TO a
certain extent, the same language that
made a part of his sermon, while the
sentiment was all there. The particular
reference was as follows. as told in the
Constitution special yesterday morning:
"He IS n broad minded and great-heart-
ed Baptist, who knows Baptist principles
and history-knows them so well that he
would not establish religious qualfica-
ton for citizenship and office"

is authority for this statement. He was
seen at the Academy OF Music last night
by n Dispatch man and asked as to the
plans OF the campaign. He at hrst de-
clined to talk, giving as his reason Tor MS
declination that the Dispatch was against
the Prohibition cause and did not give
the party a fair show.
After some little conversation. in which
he damned the paper with faint praise,
Mr.. Gibbs impaired the information that
he and Mr.. Small. together with the Sil-
yer Lake Quartette. would visit Richmond
next September and would erect a tent to
hold about 500 or 1903 people at some
centrally-located point and undertake 10
convert the people of this municipality
to the belief that the Prohibition party
IS far I'm advance OF any other political
marty. Mr.. Gibbs Is an enthusiastic Pro-
hibitionist, and he firmly believes that ne
will succeed in making Richmond Pro-
hibition city. He referred 10 the work be-
ing done in Norfolk by Mr.. Small, ana
said there Is no question dS ~ 'he i'S"l'
"I promise YOU" said he, that you viii
hear something drop there on the 4th.'
He was asked II he proposed TO make n
fight here against the municipal govern
ment. but with a knowing look on his
face shook his head and said that he
would not discuss his plans with repre-
sentative of Il paper that had always
been aggressive 10 his party.
Mr. Small was seen after his lecture by
the reporter. but he courteously avoided
any statement that would throw any light
on the plan to be adopted in the fall cam
pagn. He proposes to make strong
fight here against the liquor traffic. and
hopes to make many converts Tor the
Prohibition party.
Mr. Small was accompanied mere by
his son. aged about 10 years. He leaves
for Norfolk this morning, and VIII remain
,bora until after tho election on the 9TH.
