STRONGLY FAYORS A CONVENTION.

Probable success of Republican Ticket
Under Fair Elections aud Counts on
Democratic Dissatisfaction

LYNCHBURG. VA, Auglst h.-spe-
cial.-A large number OF prominent Re
publicans OF the State arrived in the city
to-day 10 attend the meeting tomorrow
night OF the state committee. Among
them was General James a. walker VINO
is one OF the strongest advocates TOT tne
holding Of State convention by the re
publican party when I asked him his
position In regard 20 the convention, Gen
eraI Walker said. II am strongly ia
favor OF a. u should be the policy OF
any with principles. TO preserve organiza-
ton. and 10 be ready on all OCCASIONS 10
advante and present candidates, 10 re-
present those principles.
The rank and file OF the Republican
party ln my section OF the state are prac-
ticAlly unanimous in their desire Tor

REPUBLICAN CHANCES.
DO you thing the chances OF the ke-
publican party would be good II they
should put "a ticket In the heldf' Yes,
/ do" was the Generals reply and II
the elections are conducted fairly, the
Republicans will have a majority In the
state OF twenty-five thousand
The Ninth District will give tho
party az least five thousand majority.
In the Black Belt the vote Of the
counties will certainly Doe for the Demo-
cratic party. not because the negroes VIII
vote the Democratic ticket. but because
they Will be counted that way no mat
ter how their ballots are cast ! am In
favor of making tho fight in the State
on the platform of fair elections. Tho con-
tested election cases before the Fifty
Fourth Congress showed that the most
gigantic and outrageous frauds were
committed on the ballot box by the
Democratic party In the state Of Nir-
ginia. and 70 is useless I'm the face or the
record OF those contests for the Demo-
Gratis TO claim that the lections were
fair"
COUNTS OK DEMOCRATS
Information which ! have received.
continued tho General leads me 10 be-
lieve that there IS great dissatisfaction
among the Democrats with the ticket
nominated az the Roanoke convention.
The Populists and the gold Democrats
were utterly ignored and | have received
many letters from prominent persons
from all parts Of the state from Popu-
lists and gold Democrats. urging the Re-
publicans 10 nominate ticket and dcclar-
Ing their willingness 90 support the Re-
publican ticket against that nominated
by tho convention at Roanoke.
"The return of prosperity. following 50
rapidly upon the enactment OF tarin
law. will cause thousands OF persons who
have heretofore voted the Domocratic
ticket 70 support the Republican party"
General Walker stated that the report
that he had gone 10 san Francisco was
premature. as he does not expect 20 leave
for that city until after the meeting Of
the committee.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Enter Residence
in the West End.

Monday u1orning Just before day Mrs
w. II. Holland, who lives az No. Park
street was awakened by a noise az her
window She started up and was as
tonishod 20 see the dim outlines Of "a
negro who was entering through the win
dow Instead Of screaming and fainting
away Mrs. Holland did the FAR more
sensible thing Of striking the negro a
vigorous blow over the head with a chair
Tho blow stunned him and he fell back
and out of the window. Mrs Holland
then secured the blind and gave the
alarm.
This was heard by one Of the Messrs.
Ryan. who lived next door. He did not
stop 20 dress but ran out en- dishahNle
and gave chase His bare feet, however.
did not take kindly 10 the rgough edges
OF mother earth and he was compelled 10
stop. but several shots were fired at the
retreating negro. Whether any took ef-
feet could not be ascertained.
The object OF the negro Is unknown.
Tho place where the offence was COM
mitted Is out Of the city but IS IN quite
