MIR. II. G. Pace, of Dnnyiiie, Passes
Suddenly Away.

,,r Robert G. Pace, OF Danville, died
very suddenly last night at the boarding
house of Mrs Moore. in the building for
merly occupied by the Richmond Enquirer
AZ the corner of Twelfth and Franklin
streets. and the Coroner, who viewed the
remains. gave it as his opinion that his
death was the result of drink, together
with the excessive heat.
Mr. pace came TO Mrs. Moore's house
Monday afternoon and secured room,
and nothing was thought OF MIN uhtli
last evening about o'clock. when he was
heard TO make considerable noise in his
ROOM MT. Moore went up 10 investigate
and found the deceased sitting on the noor
In an unconscious condition. He thought
the gentleman was simply overcome from
the effects of drink, and after making
him as comfortable as possible, left him:
ue was heard breathing hard at 10
o'cIock. and at midnight Mr.. Moore went
in to see how he was getting on, and
found him dead.
The Coroner was at once notified. and,
az before stated. viewed the remains. An
examination was also made OF the dead
mans effects, and from what could be as
certained from his letters, 1t was plain that
no was a travelling salesman. and was
interested In the scales business. He had
a number OF stamped envelopes In his
rocket bearing the name Of James ID.
Patton & Co., and had. according to his
letters. been in Wilmington, n. c., last
month.
The deceased was tall. rather fine-look-
ing man, with iron-gray moustache and
partIally bald head, and a gentleman who
identified him last night stated that he
was a native Of Danville. where he was
highly connected and had wife and
family.
The Coroner left the remains to be call
ed for by the dead mans friends, and the
police were instructed to ascertain VINO

Some OF the sound-money Democrats
of Richmond held a conference in the
Office of Mr.. Joseph Bryan yesterday. and
had a talk over the situation. so far as
the "bolters" are concerned. in Virginia.
Mr.. Bryan, who had just returned from
the indianapolis meeting, gave the re-
suits Of that conference. The gentlemen
deemed it wise for Nirgnia's sound
money men to hold a State convention
and steps looking to this end were taken.
Circular letters, leading up to a call tor
a convention, to be held in this city, Au-
gust 9th. at II A. NJ, were ordered TO
be sent throughout the State TO persons
who are supposed TO be in sympathy with
the movement
Here is a copy Of the letter. which will
be issued to-day:
Richmond, Va, August IL, 1896.
In view Of the reputation Of the car
dinal principles Of the Democratic party
by the convention recently held at Chi
cago. steps were Immediately taken by
Democrats who remain true to the prin-
ciples of the party 10 organize for the
preservation of those principles for which
the Democrats have contended for more
than a century.
IN this behalf provisional executive
committee, representing thirty-three
States. met at indianapolis, Ind, on the
7th of August, and issued a call for a
National Democratic Convention, TO be
held at indianapolis. Ind, on the % day
of September, for the purpose Of adopt
ing a platform, which should reaffirm the
doctrines Of the party, and of nominating
candidates devoted to those doctrines.
In pursuance OF this call, It has been
deemed advisable by friends of the move
ment to issue a cali for a State conyen-
ton Of Democrats who reject the Chi
cago platform, and will not vote for
nominees who accept and approve it to
be held in the city OF Richmond on
wednesday, August 9th, at IL A. NJ.
for the purpose Of sending delegates TO
the indianapolis convention. and for
such other business as may come before
the convention.
1t is understood that you are a Demo-
crat of the old school. and in sympathy
with the purpose TO maintain Democratic
principles and the existing standard OF
value: and we desire, with your permis-
sion, to append your name TO the call for
the state convention This call will be
numerously signed, but II is deemed best
10 have a goodly number Of representa-
tive men from every section OF the State
Should you give your assent TO this
request. please indicate it at your earliest
convenience and give the names OF
any other Democrats in your vicinity VINO
are Of the same mind.
Very respectfully.
