STANTON AND CONVENTION.
Making n Strong Bid for It-Mili'
tary Bazaar.

STAUNTON, VA, April 24-(Special.)-
Stanton Is going to work to get the
Democratic State Convention to meet in
this city. Last year, when the conven-
ton was held in Columbian Hall. 1t was
evident that the visiting delegates were
surprised at the easy ability with which
the Valley City handled the crowd. Yes
terday meeting OF some Of our leading
citizens was held and steps taken. not
only to invite, but to urge that the as
sembled hosts of Democracy meet here
again in 1897.
1t is argued that this city has already
shown her well-equipped eligibility as a
common centre where the delegates may
be pleasantly and Hospitality entertained.
and because last year she splendidly
performed her promises in entertaining
the convention 1t would be a reversal of
every business principle TO turn down her
bid for the 1897 convention.
The West Augusta Guards has for the
past three days been holding a vanity
fair bazaar at the Odd-Fellows' new
temple. Each night crowds have thronged
the booths. The object of the fair is to
furnish funds to aid the guards TO go to
the Nashville Exposition.
The Stonewall Brigade Band forty
strong) will go on to New York tomorrow
to the Grant memorial exercises. This
band has been invited to serenade Presi-
dent Mckinley at his New York hotel.
