Hon. H. r. Pollard. of Richmond, who
has been i'm Suffolk this week on legal
business, is a lawyer OF great ability,
an experienced legislator, and an all
round businessman Of the best charac-
ter. His name has frequently been men
toned in connection with the nomination
for Attorney General on the Democratic
ticket. and he will. Of course. be strong
man in the race. unless the fact OF Hon.
]. Taylor Ellysons candidacy FOR first
place will prove coniiicting force, as IL
seems more than likely that Mr.. Edlyson
will be named for the Office or Governor
In which event Mr. Pollard would hardly
allow his aspirations TO interfere with his
townsman. the able and inv.ncible ieade
OF the Democracy. who so well deserves
the honor that seems TO be In his grasp.

The Engineering Record says that the
frequency OF accidents to elevators
moving faster than 800 feet per minute
has already attracted the attention OF
experts and OF the public. 1t thinks that
400 feet per minute IL the highest velocity
compatible with safety. The New YORK
Times. in commenting on this. concludes
that, even II the height of buildings In
that and other cities is not limited by
statute. the ambition of architects and
owners will soon be effectively curoed
by tho dangers incident to running ele-
vators at the high speed which alone
makes the upper floors Of extremely lofty

NEW YORK, September 7 To-day
is the wage workers. Fourth of July
and throughout the United States Labor
organizations are celebrating their ma
tional holiday with parades, music and
patriotic addresses. Dispatches from
many sections say that the day is being
more generally observed than in pre-
vious years.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, September THE
labor parade to-day was in nine divis-
ions, and over 40. 900 men were in line,
The feature of the day, apart from the
parade was the address of William
Jennings Bryan at Sharpshooters' park.
The crowd which went to the PARK
where Bryan was to speak was enor-
nous.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September T.
Labor day was observed in the usual
manner here. All trades associations
held joint parade and marched to
Concordia park to listen to speeches
and witness athletic games.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September r.
Not since the special act of congress
was passed making to-day legal holi-
day in the District of Columbia and the
Territories, has labor day been so uni
versally observed by all workmen's or
ganizitiors. All great departments OF
the government were closed, all trades
were suspended and the whole city
given over to amusement. Over 5000
men participated in the parade.

The Populists Of Colorado In Convention to En-

DENVER, Colo, September Colo.
RADIO IS having its fill this year of politi-
cal conventions. This morning the
state convention of the midde-of-the-
road populisIs was called to order at
Plummers' hall by Hon. H. G. Childs,
for the purpose Of naming electors to
vote for Bryan and Watson and place
in nomination full state ticket. An
address read by Secretary E. E. Cald-
we'll sets forth that the populist party
should be fully in accord with the ac-
ton of the national convention IN nom-
mating Watson for vice. president. 1t
went on to say that the farmers and
planters OF the United States were the
founders Of the peoples party; that
they are entitled to consideration and
representation in its political councils,
commensurate with the in 1ispensable
importance of the industry which they
represent, and that the populists OF
Colorado should stand up and give the
right-hand of goodfellowship to their
brethren OF tho great south, and recog-
nize the peoples party as the political
agency of several industrial organiza-
tions, to abolish special privileges and
usury, check and limit ayarice and
greed, and restore prosperity to the
masses by giving employment instead
of aims 10 the idle.

A dispatch from London says: Four
hundred delegates, representing 1885,
900 organized trade unionlals, were
present, to-day, at the opening of the
thirty-ninth annual trades congress of
Great Britain, in the town hall of Edin-
burgh, Scotland. After the retiring
president, John Jenkins, had called the
congress to order, and the delegates
had been welcomed by the Lord Pro-
vost, Samuel Woods, the parliamentary
secretary read the program prepared
by the executive committee for consid-
GRAFTON. After the reading of the pro-
gram, which comprised eleven resolu
tions, the delegates Of the various
unions submitted topics for considera-
ton. among which is resolution
recommending the prohibiting of the
use and importation of foreign-mad
paper; the national musicians also
urge protective legislation In the matter
Of German bands and the renting out
Of army and police bands. The con-
gress will be in session for several

Yesterday's Wheel Races.

Quite large crowd gathered at the bicy-
Gle track, yesterday afternoon, to witness
few friendly contests between local
riders In the one e-mile handicap race, W.
T. Cloud, an eighty-yard man, won the
event in 2:5s, from about seven entries,
though 1t Is perhaps fair to say that the
scratch men, Brash and McGaffin, did not
race until the finish, confuing their atten-
ton strictly to each other.
In the five-mile race, Jack Mennet, who
had one.eighth mile handicap, gained
about 200 yards on the scratch men, and
won out in 1905. AS in the mile race, the
scratch men confined their racing strictly
against each other and made pretty
finish, with Brash in the lead.
The small boys race of half-a-mile, with
four entries, was hotly contested and won
in the time OF minutes.
A race for keeps between Brash and Nc.
Gafin is not an improbability, in the near
fatnre, and will be worth going miles to
see, should 1t occur.

LONDON, England, September r.
Jake Gaudaur, of Toronto, and James
Stanbury,o of Australia, measured blades.
this morning. for the single-scull cham
pionship Of the world. The match was
rowed over the four mile course from
Putney to Mortlake, the same used by
Oxford and Cambridge in their annual
aquatic battle. Besides the magnificent
sportsman's cup, purse of $500 was
contingent on the event. Stanbury has
held the worlds championship since
1891. when he defeated John Mclean
on the Parametta river. The race was
won by Gaudaur, with the greatest ease.
by ten lengths.
Gaudaur's time was 23 minutes and
second, Stanbury's 70 minutes and
43 seconds. Upon crossing the finish
line, Stsnbury protested against Gau-
daur being awarded the race, alleging
that the latter had fouled him. His
claim, however, was not allowed.
