COL. LAMBS FOLLOWERS.
The DepOscd Republican King in
virginia Calls a Convention.

Lynchburg, Va, Oct. 1.-The republican
state convention, called by Col. William
Lamb, who was recently deposed as chair
man by the state committee, will meet
here tomorrow.
Col Lamb arrived to-day, and seems to
be elated at the prospects. He claims
that the convention will not only be a
large one but also a representative one.
A considerable number of delegates have
already arrived Owing to the peculiar
circumstances under which the convention
was called, there has not been much
slate-making, so far as is known, and 1t
is difficult to make predictions as to the
nominees.
Capt p II. McCaull of Culpepper has
been most talked of as the probable can
didate for governor Col Lamb says a
full stale ticket will surely be put up,
but declines to discuss the possible NOM
nations.

Edwardsville, Ill. oct. 4.-Troops were
called for to-day to check what appeared
like an inevitable conflict at the coal
mines.
Strikers organized and made open
threats to use force in preventing a re-
sumption of work. When 1t became known
that strikers were marching from neigh
boring points the officials called on the
state authorities for the militia. The
mines are strongly guarded, but the sher-
ifs force is not adequate 20 cope with the
strikers in case an attack is made.
The day passed without an outbreak,
but trouble is expected tomorrow when
the non-union men go to work
Several companies of the militia have
been ordered to be in readiness to move al
a moments notice and will probably be
ordered here tomorrow.

ideals, and our appetites and desires
will gradually conform to them.
