Senator Daniel Delighted.

E I.vnchburg. Va Dec. 18.-Senator Dan iel. who is a member of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, was seen by a reporter of the News today and asked what he thought of the presidents mes sage on the Venezuelan question. He re- pied with great earnestness:
 .'It is a grand message am dengnteu with it. It will be hailed all over the country with joy as clear, manly ut- terance of the great American doctrine of Monroe. and all over the world it will be received and respected as the ul- fimatum of the great western republic that will have no ifs to stand In the way of its manifest duty and its mani fest destiny. As state paper the mes sage Is above criticism in it's temper, stvIe and tone. as well as in it's historic recitals and its logical conclusions. It will rank as the foremost deliverance of President Cleveland.
 ''The democratic party will stand as one man at his back and the south will stand as one man at his back also. But 1t fs A question above party and above sec tion. All parties and all sections will he united to support the president and even more united, than were the colonies in the revolutionary war in the support of Washington and independ, ence. Great Britain will understand now and forever that the United States is not to be trif1ed with. and If her states men are so shortsighted as to precipitate war they will be as sternly rebuked as was George III when he was taught lesson by the continentals.
 ''In short, I am happy over the mes sage" said the senator in conclusion "It places this country just where it be- ,ongs-at the head of the nations"
 It may be remembered that Senator Daniel in an address at Michigan uni yersty last spring expounded the Mon roe doctrine In that address he took the precise grounds that the president has set forth in his message.

delegates today unanimously adopted a resolution upholding and indorsing President Cleveland ip his message of yesterday sustaining him in his position on the Monroe doctrine and assuring him of the support of Virginia, should it be needed.

COTTON MARKETS REMAIN STRONG.
