THE PLATFORM.

THE PLATFORM.
There seems to be a diversity of opin-
ion as to what the convention will do In
regard to the party platform. While there
are amongst the Republican leaders In
Virginia some advocates of free silver, IL
is claimed by those who have been In
constant communication with delegates
from all over the State that the prevail
ing sentiment In the convention will be
largely In favor Of sound-money princi-
pies. though II is doubtful whether any
specific declaration on the money ques-
tion viii be introduced by the Committee
on Resolutions. Some of the most eau
tious Of the party leaders incline to the
policy of proclaiming for protection to
American labor. approving the platform Of
the last National Republican Convention,
and pledging their support to the nomi-
nees and platform Of the national con-
vention. to meet at St Louis in June.
DELEGATES AT LARGE.
The convention viii elect four dele
gates at large to st. Louis. Prior to the
crystallized strength in favor of the nomi-
nation Of Mckinley. which Ia so marked
In Virginia since the county conventions
were held. and especially since the cleo
tion Of Mckinley delegates In the First.
Sixth, and Ninth congressional districts,
tnSIe WIS a general iued tnat tH6 Stdl6
convention would elect representatives at
large. who would go unirstructed. and
majority. IL not all. OF whom were sup
posed to be in sympathy with the combl-
nation commonly called the Platt-Quay-
C'arkson combine, the object Of the alli-
aDce being generally understood as fa-
voring anybody to beat Mckinley. There
seems to be no doubt now. however, that
the Mckinley feelings at Stauntou will
be so overwhelming that they can control
It's action. both In the selection OF dele
gates at large and In giving instructions
10 vote for ths man Of their choice.
The most pronounced Mckinley men
insist that such instructions should be
given, especially since number OF cam
oidates for these honors have either been
non-committaI as to their preference un-
I'll the swelling tide OF the Mckinley SEN
timent was seen. or were supposed not to
favor tho nomination OF the Ohioan.
From the opening OF the campaign It
has been understood that Colonel Lamb.
General Walker. Major Yost. and p.
w. Mccall were slated for these honors,
but opposition to this programme in part
mas been known TO exist. and II Is ex-
pected that the programme will be ma
terially changed By the convention. One
of the changes demanded will be that
the colored element OF the party shall
have a representative In the delegation
at large. and the name most frequently
mentioned In that connection is that Of
the colored attorney-A. w. Harris. II

RECORD IN FowLE CASE.
He Was More sinned Against Than
SHINING.


In view Of the appointment by the
President of Mr.. w. II. Fowle to sue
ceed General Fitzhugh Lee as Collector
of Internal Revenue for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia, certain papers have
made hurtful publications with reference
to Mr.. Fowles legislative record. The
Dispatch had hoped that the matter
would not be brought up at all, bnt
as the subject has gained publicity, and
in q way far more injurious TO Mr.
Fowle than the facts would be II fully
known. we have copied from our files
the main points of the scandal In ques-
ton.
February 9. 1876: The special committee
OF the House, Mr.. Massey, OF Albemarle,
chairman. charged with the investigation
of the conduct OF Judge George Stevens, OF
Nelson county in connection with the loss
of certain funds by Mr.. Fowle, OF Alex
andria, met last night In one Of the base
ment rooms Of the Capitol. 1t
appeared from Mr.. Fowle's testimony
that he commenced drinking on the lst
of January Saturday, and Sunday went
10 worsham's, and there met with George
Hill. Of Worsham's establishment, and
his losses amounted to $4,000 in the
District of Columbia bonds and a con-
About half of these funds have been re-
turned Ito Mr.. Fowle).
From the Dispatch Of February 10, 1876:
The House special committee met again
Yesterday morning, and finished the ex-
animation OF Mr.. Fowie In the Stevens
case. In substance, Mr.. Fowle says that
Stevens used no undue influence over
him TO make him drink or pay. and that.
unfortunately having commenced 10
drink. he needed no urging TO continue.
and that had he not been drunk. he
would not have played at all.
Mr. Fowle had been playing with others
before he accepted Judge Stevens's inyi-
tation TO join him In game OF draw
poker. Judge Stevens could not nave
known whether the bonds played Off be-
longed TO Mr.. Fowle or to the Montpelier
Association. Indeed, Mr.. Fowle claims
that the bonds were purchased with his
individual check. and that he was &C
countab.e TO the Montpelier Association.

Association and draws a salary OF SS.oV)

take out OF any funds In his hands as
he might need the money. During most
