of the commencement of the Virginia
Military institute took place today in
the main hall of the building. The hall
was packed to overlooking, throughout
the exercises, a large number of The
audience being compelled to stand in
the lobby and doors. Many people from
the country were in and Il
large excursion from LynchburS helped
to swell the crowd.
The exercises were opened with a
prayer by the Rev. c. r. HemphiH, ID.
D., of Louisville.
Mr.. Houston S. Letcher, president Of
the board Of visitors, then gave a brief
history Of the efforts to get funds for
the construction of the hall, saying that
The first contribution was made by
President Jefferson Davis, and that a
large proportion of the contributions
came from Pennsylvania. Mr.. Letchcr
then introduced the first orator Of the
day, DR.. Hunter Mcguire, of Richmond,
medical director of Jackson's corps,
who opened his address by relating that
he had been recently told by eminent
Britisho Ulcers that the greatest Eng

dred years were Marlborough, Yelling
ton, Washington. Lee and Jackson.
They declared that the campaign of
Jackson in the valley of Virginia was
the first in which the world a known
no blunders.
The Rev. j. P. Smith, of Richmond,
was introduced by Mr.. Letcher rs the
next speaker.
The concluding address was deiiv-
cred by Senator John w. Daniel, and
his introduction by Hr. Letcher was
the occasion of a warm and hearty
greeting from the large assemblage.
Senator Daniels remarks were dis
cursive in their character, and not of
the set speech order. He held aloft the
character of Jackson, the soldier, with
his virtues, and his endeavors in seek
ing training; his concentration of pur-
pose. and his genius, in a that
was striking and captivating. The war
he declared. had demonstrated to the
world the greatness n the virtue of
the southern people and its sacrifices
and trials had been repaid them in the
presentation Of two military chieftairs
so great and good as Lee and Jackson.

OHIO
State Ticket Nominated and Senator Ham
ma Endorsed for Both Terms-Peace Be-
tween Hanna and

state convention completed its work to-
day in q session of less than four hours.
While there had been a hard fight for
two days for the control of the state GEN.
trail committee. there was every appear
ance Of harmony and enthusiasm today.
The two contested districts were decided
in favor CT the Dick candidates and this
showed that the state committee stood
Il for Dick and 4 for kurtz. Senator
Hanna was not only congratulated on the
result. but all the delegates were seeking
admlttance to his apartments for con-
ferences.
Governor Bushnell not only accepted the
situation complacently before the conven-
ton assembled by having friendly con-
situations with Senator Hanna. but he
also made a strong speech of acceptance
in the convention. When Governor Bush
nell declared: In spite of the statements
OF the democratic press, l accept there
was a loud demonstration. In the or
ganization OF the state central ommitt
in the afternoon, Governor Bushnell
named the vice chairman. while Senator
Hanna selected the chairman and Secre-
tary.

this afternoon and will soon be back in
Washington. Governor Bushnell remains
here till tomorrow. The two leaders had
a friendly meeting before separating, and
it is understood that they have reached

The feature Of the convention was the
speech of Senator Hanna. Governor
Bushnell, Lieutenant Governor Jones,
General GroSvenor and others who spoke
had been frequently heard, but Senator
Hanna was not known before in his own
state as an orator, although he had for
years been recognized as a leader in
management and organization. His deliv-
cry was loQuent and fOrcible and he cap
tured the convention by his commanding
