NO such division Of sentiment as forbade
champions of Mr.. Crisp to applnud
Democratic sentiments uttered by MIR.

standard p~rec1uded applause for popular
sentiments declared by MIR. Crisp. 1t

speakers were recognized as honored

their friends. 1t is worthy of note that
the greatest applause OF the evening fol-
lowed a c~ommendatory reference TO
President Clevelandsby Secretary Smith.
Though Democratic may not approve all
of Mr.sGleveland's acts. there Is no other
name tina can so electrify a Democratic
audience from one end OF the country to
the other as that of Grover Cleveland.
The scene (which greeted Secretary
Smith and Gx-Speaker Crisp when thA

them to their best efforts. All of the

Richmond, Va, March S1.-(Special.)-
The MCKINLEY people seem to have swept
the State in the Republican county con"

Allan says there Is no sort Of doubt
that they havc already secured the
State convention. They have, ne as

only two at all doubtful are the second

give the opposition a place, which will
no doubt be done. General James A.
Walker Is favorable to Reed, but has not
made any fight for him. 1t Is conceded
that General Walker will be one of the
delegates at large.
The most interesting fight now is for
