What Is Said Of State Legislators.
The Richmond Dispatch SAYS:
None Of the I'D members Of the Leg

Letters produced showed that sanders

adverse to the plaintiff. He holds ihat

PENDANT acted in good faith. that II

A Call for a Constitutional Convention.
The most significant and that which
is certain 20 be the most far-reachinR
measure offered at the opening Of the
Virginia Legislature is that proposing
a constitutional convention. The pat
ron Of this bill is Senator Hal Flood
one of the closest friends of Senator
Mratin. Mr.. Flood two years ago OPP
posed this legislation. The bill pro-
vides for submitting to the voters OF
the State on the fourth Thursday in
May. 1901, the question Of assembling
q constitutional convention. The pri-
mary object of this body is to eliminate
the negro vote Two years ago the
most violent opponents Of a convention
were the friends Of the railroads and
other corporations by whom the Demo-
cratic party in Virginia was never for
gotten when campaigns are to be
fought. The representatives OF these
see now that sentiment is rapidly crys-
tallizing in favor of convention.
Gov. Tyler, in his message, also re-
commends the calling of such a body.
