make against George Dixon. the dusky
festherweiRht champion of the world.
The fact that they were to meet to-
night In Six round bout for decision
accounted for the large attendance at
the Garden. Dixon was the first to
enter the ring. Palmer did most of the
leading and landed wherever he pleased

heavy blows after fighting six rounds

a SUGGESTION FOR VIRGINIA.

Among the material things Virginia
needs are good roads. Some counties
of the Slate, notably Augusta, can
boast OF roads than which there are
none better anywhere, but, as q rule,
the Virginia county roads are hills and
valleys OF dust in dry weather and hills
and valleys OF mud when it rains. In
some parts of the State when the
weather ia extremely bad the roads are
80 impossible that the farmers cannot
get to the nearest market town to dis
pose OF their produce or purchase sup
plies.
These conditions might be remedied
with great benefit to the farmers in
dividually and to the State In general
II Virginia we're to follow the example
of New Jersey in providing system of
good county roads. New Jersey sets
aside one hundred Thousand dollars an.
nually for tho construction OF perms
nent public roads, end all those built 80
far have besn macadamized. II coats
about six thousand dollars al mile to
build such road, and as the State psys
one.third Of the expense and the respec-
tive counties two-thirds. fifty miles of
road can be constructed annually.
One hundred thousand dollars could
not be expended by the Virginia legis-
lature for better purpose. Good roads
attract immigration. and in moro ways
than one add to the prosperity of the
country. They effec. tremendous
saving to the farmers In the matter of
wear and tear upon their vehicles and
teams, and afford them the opportunity
OF uninterrupted and easy access to
market towns and railroads. In these
particulars Virginia farmers lose thou
sands OF dollsrs every year. and they
would find 1t to their interest to urge
upon the general assembly the sdo2tion
OF road law similar to that in forcs in
New jersey. Washington. ID. C)

The parting of the ways has arrived
Yesterday there were two conventions IN
swimming order in this city, represent
ing the respective ranks of the silver and
gold Democracy. The gold men met at
the opera house and managed, by con-
certed action and deliberatiOn, to finish
their convention business in one day.
They decided to, and did, elect delegates
10 20 TO Chicago. They also elected a
state executive committee and selected
delegates from each congressional dis
trict to attend the Chicago convention.
They also made arrangements looking to
the meeting of all sound money Demo-
Gratis in the state at Waco on August 20,
TO put out a straight ticket, from COVER
nor on down. After they had disposed
of all the work before them, which is
fully outlined below in the detailed re-
port they adjourned sine die last night
at 0:45 o'clock. with the distinct under
standing that.they should all rally their
forces for the Waco convention.
Down at the silver convention every
thing went along smoothly until the
committees began to report. The ere
dentials committee brought up The first,
after which tho report Of the committee
ar platform and resolutions precipitated
another row of no small proportions.
There were two reports from tins com
mttee. The majority of the committee
came in with report for the free ana
unlimited coinage of silver, and the
minority. which was brought in by Jona-
than Lane was for an endorsement OF
Cleveland and Carlisle and for gold
standard.
Governor Hogg offered an amendment
10 the majority report which precipi-
toted the row, which lasted until md
night, when an adjournment was had
until this morning. Governor ioggs
amendment proposed for free ana I'M
limited issue of silver at the ratio OF III
70 1. independent of the action of any
other nation. This is what precipitated
the row. Governor Hogg spoke in favor
of his amendment and Judge Reagan
and Col. Hodges spoke in favor Ct the
committee report Col Hodges was the
last speaker up, and while he was ad-
dressing the meeting the crowd became
so clamorous that adjournment had to be
taken until this morning at $3.50, when
the hosts will have it out again. The
only section of the minority report that
suited the crowd was the section Tn
dorsing the present state administration,
which had apparently been overlooked
by the majority report.
The fight, it is anticipated, will be on
in force this morning, and, as every one
knows, Governor Hogg is scrapper
from away back, and will in all proba-
bility hold out until the very last. The
fight, as outlined last night, seemed to be
between Hogg on the one side and Rea-
gan and Hodges on the other. 1t would
seem that the bosses are at outs with
one another.

SOUND MONEY MEN.
They Elected Delegates to Chicago and
Will Hold Another Convention.


The sound money state Democratic
convention met in the opera house ut
IL o'clock and was called to order by
DR.. A. n. Denton of Travis, who intro
duced Hon. Rufus Hardy, chairman of
the sound money state executive commit
tee.
Judge Hardy made a brief, ringing
speech in which he said that the time
to talk harmony had passed. He urged
thorough reorganization which should
weed out the chaff and leave a compact
body of patriots loyal to the principles
of honest money, an honest tariff and
government economically admins
tered.
For temporary chairman, Mr.. Matlock
of Tarrant nominated e. l.. Antony of
Milan.
Mr.. Antony was elected by acclama-
ton and escorted to the platform by Hor.
George Clark and Hon. A. L. Matlock.
AS the temporary chairman made his
appearance the band struck up Dixie"
and the boys gave the usual evidence of
good lung power. Mr.. Antony spoke
briefly. He urged the sound money
masses to rally their forces to the sup
port of honest principles, condemned the
action of the Dudley committee and ia
vored a straighout fight for the mainte-
nance of Democratic principles and Dem
ocratic methods.
+. II. Gaines was elected temporary
secretary.
Mr.. Matlock of Tarrant moved that
two committees be appointed, to be each
composed of one member from each SEN
atorial district, on credentials, perma-

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

The sound money convention was
raped to order at o'clock by Chairman
Antony, and pending the arrival of the
committees that were still out, rousing
speeches were made by Capt Ferg Kyle
of Hays county and Col. c. VI. Rogers
of Travis county.
The committee on credentials handed
in their report, stating that they had
seated all delegations having regular ac-
credited credentials and all present who
had been seated by the action of the
convention at the morning session. The
report also recommended the Hon. j..
Peter Smith of Tarrant county for per-
manent chairman and the Hon. NJ. W..
johnson of Lamar county permanent
secretary and the Hon. Ferg Kyle of
Hays county for sergeant-at-arms. They
also recommended the following order of
business after the permanent organiza-
ton had been secured:

mittee on platform and resolutions

districts, said committee to have power
to fill vacancies and perform the general
functions of such committees according
to Democratic usage.
Fifth-Any other business that may
properly come before the convention.
The report was unanimously adopted.
The chair appointed Messrs. Gaines of
Travis and Simms of Brazos to escort
Chairman Smith to the chair and he fay-
ored the convention with a strong but
brief speech, advocating sound money
principles and eXcoriating the Republi-
can fallacies and Populistic delusions.
The platform committee still being alb
sent loud calls for Attorney Nose Male
whisky of Galveston brought this rising
young attorney to the front with a most
eloquent speech, which was roundly an.
plauded by his enthusiastic hearers.
The committee on platform and reso-
lutions came in at o'clock and reported.
through Judge Clark. that they made n
unanimous report, which is given in An
other column.
Some discussion was had over the
adoption of the report as to whether II
should be adopted section by section or
IN toto. Many favored adopting the re-
port as whole, but Mr.. II. j. Hill of
Travis spoke against it. saying that the
second section especially would place
