THE STATE CONVENTION.

Roanoke wants the Democratic State
convention and there is no reason why it
should not meet here. 1t is acknowl-
edged on all hands that the railway, hall
and hotel facilities are sufficient to meet
the requirements of convention of any
size that may ne determined upon, and it
is also we'll known that in the order of sue
cession this city is already several years
behind the realization of it's rights in
this respect.
No city in the State offers greater in
ducenents il the way of pleasure and
Democratic voters were consulted in all
probability they would decide onRoanoke
by large majority. Ten years have
elapsed since aState..convention was held
here and as the people of Virginia gen.
orally are much interested in the growth
and progress of the Magic City of the
Southwest, many who were here in 1887
would take pleasure in coming here again,
while many who have he yer seen Roanoke
would gladly avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to do SO in the low rates afford
ed by State convention. The presence
of the leaders of the party in this city
could not fail to arouse the enthusiasm of
the rank and file of Democracy through
out the Southwest, and might in the good
results accomplished do much toward
bringing out the full vote Mt the next
State election. The people like to see men
who mould opinion and control party
policies, and that they would feel ploud
in having this section selected ms the
place for holding the convention goes
without saying. The action Of the citi-
zens Mt the mass meeting last Saturday
night was most commendable, but all who
have resided here know the public opin-
ion spirit of our people, and that where
the welfare of the city is concerned they
are always ready to subordinate private
interests for the general good Some of
the hest men in the city have taken hold
of the matter, and if hard work and con.
certed action can accomplish it they will
have the convention. IL behooves us,
then, one and all, to aid those engaged in
the movement to the extent of our ability.
and to spare no effort along that line
while success is possible. Roanoke ought
to have the convention, and Roanoke will
have it unless other forces are at work
Eiuch more potent than is now supposed.
