THE PROPOSED COMBINATION.

Events seem to be Shaping themselves
Gratis and the Republicans in the contest
for State officers in Virginia this fall, and
it is already suggested by the advocates
of this scheme that Mr.. Joseph Bryan,
editor of the Richm ond Times, be nomi-
mated for governor by the combine. The
arrangement at distance seems some
what plausibe; but when it is remem-
bered that Bryan's majority in the last
Presidential election over Mckinley and
Palmer was 1910, and that the friends
now than they were last year, the hope
lessness of the movement is plainly ap-
parent. Mr.. Bryan is probably the
strongest candidate such q combination
could nominate, but no ticket voted for
by the Republicans and goldites could
be elected in this State this year. The
Roanoke convention will endorse the free
coinage feature of the Chicago platform
unequivocally, and name free silver can
didate for governor, who will certainly
may lose from the gold vote will be more
than compensated for by its gains from
the support of the Populists and silver
Republicans. No, Mr.. Bryan will not be
elected governor of Virginia this year,
although it is more than probable that he
will be the candidate of the Democratic
opposition. In an interview he depreca-
ted the idea that silver would be made an
issue liz the State canvass and expressed
the belief that the agitation would soon
cease; but the prospects of such an occur
renee are just now very remote, and likely
to remain SO until long after the elections

BISHOP NEWTON DEAD.
He Was Seized With Heart Failure

Richmond, Va, May 2e.-Right Rev.

lie was stricken with heart failure at /

of his trouble, he aroused his wife and
she in turn called the other members of
his family in the house to his bedside.
The Bishops family physician, DR.. Ed
ward McGuire, was Immediately sum
moned, as >Tas DR.. Hugh NJ. Taylor, both
of whom soon reached the suffering man
and rendered all possible medical aid.
Bishop Newton was perfectly cognizant
of the fact that he was dangerously i'll.
and dispatched messengers for his friends
Rev. Dr. Carmichael and M. John p.
Mcclure. Dir. Carmichael was out of the
city, but Mr.. Mcclure responded in a few
minutes.
Bishop Newton was upon the streets
yesterday, and was apparently in perfect.
~ good health AT tea he was exceedingly
bright and happy with his family, and
no one supposed that tbis terrible afIlic-
tion was to fall so soon. He had been a
sufferer from heart trouble in mild form
for about two years. With his sudden
end great and useful man departs this
life and a devoted friend of the multi
tudes leaves for n better world. His last
moments were peaceful and serene.
Bishop Newton was born at 'tLinden, {"
the beautiful home Of his parents, in the
historic county of Westmoreland, Va.
His father was Hon. Willoughby New
ton, one Of the most distinguished Vir-
ginians of his time-a man of fine intel
lect, the highest character, and com ined
elegance and sweetness of manner that
won the admiration and affection of all
that were brought in contact with him.
He was widely known as a lawyer and
agriculturist, and served his country be-
fore the war in the Virginia legislature
and in Congress AT the beginning Of the
war he sent four sons to fight for his
dearly-loved. Southland. The mother of
Bishop Newton was Mary Brockenbrough.
native Of Richmond, and daughter of
the distinguished Judge William Brock
enbrough, o: the Virginia court of ap-
peals. She Was admired by all who knew
her for her personal beauty and strength

1t is announced in Washington that
PRECEDENT Mckinley will soon appoint
new minister to Spain and AS the posi-
tion, in view CT possible complications, is
an important one, It is said he will hunt
up big man for the place. He would
not have man who applies for the place,
but is going to pick out n man who under
ordinary circumstances would promptly
refuse the offer, and put the case before
him as situation demanding PATRIOTS
services and a PATRIOTS sacrifices. The
President may have some difficulty in
finding such man as he requires, but it
is not believed that patriotism is at such
discount in this country that he will
not be able to discover..the man he is look
ing for.

CHICAGO PLATFORM.
New York Democrats Standing
Firmly Thereon.

New York, May 28.-Elliott Danforth,
chairman of the Democratic State COM
mittee, cine to town to-day, after trip
through the interior of the State, during
which he had talks with the leaders Of
the party.
III have talked with leaders of the DEM
ocratic party in Albany and other coun-
ties lately" said Mr.. Danforth, to an
Evening Post reporter. "and l find that
gether, there is no disposition to ignore
the platform adopted by the national con-.
yention last year. The Democrats up the
State believe, and believe, that plat
form adopted by the national convention
OF the party stands, not for six months
or for year. but for four years. The
Democrats of this State endorsed the ma
tional platform at the Buffalo convention,
and the party stands OF that platform
until the next national convention meets.
"There is no doubt the national plat.
form expressed the wishes of the great
masses of the Democrats Cf the State last
year, and it does to-day. The tremendous
vote polled for our ticket in this city
l35, O0C-under the most discouraging
conditions, shows what the local Dcmoc-
racy thought of the platform. Those 1885,
000 voters, hare no doubt, think the,
same way to day, and do not think they
will be content to lave their national
platform ignored"
at is true that the Democrats of this
city and the State have plenty Of other
issues to make their fight on. The ex-
tiavagance of the Republican Legislature,
the high tax rate, the Raines law amend
ments. and the Black civil service law are
good issues, and will help the Democrats
to victory, hut, AS I said, the Chicago
platform stands for four years, and the
mass of the party will adhere to it, +
think"
'Will the State organization make any
declaration in that directioni" was asked.
II do not know yet" replied Mr.. Dan
forth, "but suppose the State committee
will place itself on record at the proper
time. We shall have no State convention
this year. The State committee will
meet. probably in August to select the
candidate for judge of the court of APP
peals, and then an address may be issued,
stating the issue on which we propose to
make the fight. Anyhow. we shall have
to address the people in some form, so
that they mny know where we stand.
Our platform will be thoroughly dis.
cussed at the State committee meeting,
and while / cannot speak for the COM
mittee. can say that from my talk with
the party leaders, judge that there " i'll

constitution of one of the forty.five States
could be similarly restricted.
Besides. it has already been demon
stratet' that the power given to the leg
islature OF submitting amendments to the
vote of the people is sufficient to make
any changes in the State constitution
which may be deemed necessary, and at
much less cost and far less danger than
the wholesale alterations proposed by the
constitutional convention. On the whole
the people of the State have vindicated
their good sense and judgment in defeat
ing this movement. They know that they
hold the remedy for any existing evil in
their own hands, and that by moderate
use of their powers they can fully protect
their rights and interests. II Is hoped,
now that the scheme has been decided as
impracticable, that the Legislators of the
State will turn their attention to the en-
actment OF such laws as will add to the
prosperity of the people and afford them
every needed protection in the prosecu-
tion of business and the promotion Of
every Legitimate enterprise.

TILLMAN'S TONGUE. z

Yesterday.
Washington, May Ex-senator Tillman
to day introduced a resolution in the SEN
ate demanding sugar Investigation. He
says cloud is resting upon the Senate
and cannot be removed until an investi.
CATION is held. His fellow Senators lis
tened with intense interest to Mr.. Till
mans speech.
He says the fact that Chapman went to
jail rather than testify convicts some
Senators and they ought to be punished
for dishonorable acts. He claims he has
specifications upon which to base an in
quiry and he has directly charged Sena-
tor Smith with specializing in sugar.
He says any Senator on the finance
committee who took advantage of inside
information to buy sugar was nothing
more than n black-leg gambler who plays
with cards up his sleeve.
His remarks created n great sensation.
Then he read extracts from papers,
making serious charges against the tinan.
cial committee for being controlled by the
sugar trust.
Mr.. Aldrich replied and denied that the
sugar trust had anything to do with the
schedule, and says he is willing for an in
vestigati0n.

THE CONVENTION DEFEATED.

The election returns from various
tailed to respond to the appeals of those
advocating the call of constitutional
convention. The great body of the people
recognize the danger of throwing over the
fundamental laws of the State and while
they were and are heartily in sympathy
with any legitimate movement to reduce
the expenses OF the common wealth they
were unwilling to so OH record as favor
ing movement that could not make any
better exhibit than the constitutional con
vention advocates made of the mcas sure
they proposed. The returns also Indicate
that the movement received less than
20 per cent. of the vote of the State. and
show conclusively that the voters of Vir-
ginia in the present condition of affairs are
unwilling to take any chances as to chang
ing the laws under which they have been
living for the past thirty years.
The United States Government is still
