money men are taking very little interest in
the contest, and as one of them expressed it
yesterday, 1--WE don't care fig what the
convention does with the financial question
or who they nominate. Our time will come
next year" It is likely that the convention
will follow the example Of the Maryland
Democrats, and straddle the question
The result of the state delegate election
has caused many of the Republican leaders
to do some tall thinking" While each of
them have their personal choice for the
various offices to be filed, they are all laying
their plans to secure the election Of a county
chairman Of their own choosing with a view
TO controlling the organization. For this
reason two candidates for Jury Commissioner
may be nominated. The control of the
organization by either faction will be point
gained in the great battle for supremacy next
year. And it will be a battle royal, too.

The Party Platform Lauds Bryan as
''Our Noble Champion"
Roanoke, Va, Aug 1.-THE Demo-
cratic state convention was called to
order yesterday by General George ].
Hundley. C. D. Letcher was temporary
chairman and f. W. Saunders perma-
nent chairman.
Every denunciation of the gold
standard by the speakers ELECTED ap-
plause from the convention. The first
greatest outburst of cheering was
evoked by Chairman Saunders declara-
tion that William ]. Bryan viii be the
president in 1900. At the conclusion Of
his speech Mr.. Saunders was given a
hearty ovation.
Judge Samuel Williams, Of Wythe,
presented a communication from the
committee appointed by the Populist
state convention which nominated Ed
mund r. Cooke for lieutenant governor.
This communication was referred to
the committee on resolutions.
The platform makes the following de-
claration:
1--WE reaffirm the platform of the ma
tional Democratic convention adopted
in Chicago in July, 1896 and upon which
W. j. Bryan was nominated for the
presidency of the United States, and we
extend our congratulations to our no
BILE champion upon the able and brill
liant manner in which he discharged
the trust reposed in him. The fact
that he received more votes than any
candidate for the presidency and more
than any candidate of any party, saw
ing alone his successful opponent, f.
evidence that Democratic principles
are still dear to a vast mass of tn,
American people"
The DingIey tariff is denounced, al
income tax favored, and the free anC
unlimited coinage of gold and silve
at the ratio of 16 TO / demanded. Th,
platform also declares for primary
