Chicago, Nov. 1.-Wagner dining cars

on the transportation lines. It also
marks the abandonment of the last of

LEGISLATIVE CONVENTION.

Cape Charles. Thursday Sept. IS, shc
Place and Date.
The question of the time and pla &c
for the holding Of the Legislative con-
Nention for Elizabeth City and Acco-
mac counties. which has been unsettled
for several weeks, has at last Ecen de-
termincd upon by Chairman Frank w.
Shield, of this county. and DR.. Bowdyn
chairman of Accomac county.
They have decided upon Thursday,
september 2S, as the date and Cape
Charles as the place. The delegates
from Hampton will leave Old Point on
the early morning steamer. ana Will re-
turn late the same afternoon.
For sometime it has been thought
that th~ convention would meet tenor
row. but yesterday DR.. Shield received
postal from Chairman Bowdyn. in
which he stated that it would be !mpus-
sibe to hold the convention before
Thursday, September IS, as several Of
the ttccomac delegates would DE unable
to attend before that date.
The result of the convention is look

Causey's nomination. Then tho Cau-
sey people believe they will get two Of
the four delegates from Hampton,
thus giving him eight delegates out OF
1.-THE fourteen who have been selected to
| represent the county in the convention.
Whether this is the situation remains
| to be seen but the Causey supporters
| are very confident us to what TIL. result
Will be.
Phoebus instructed her four delegates
for Mr.. Donohoe, and it is claimed by
the friends Of MI. Donnhoe that lie
will likely receive a majority OF Hamr-
| toms delegation if not all. In fact it
to know what they are talking about,
| that the Donohoe men of Phoebus and
| those elected on the independent tick
ct from Hampton held meeting pre-
vious to the Democratic mass meeting
and virtually agreed to throw their
support to Mr.. Donphoe when tie con-
vention was held. This statement is
denied by several Of the Hampton dele
gates, who claim they We're elected On
an independent" ticket and will take
advantage of their position when The
1conNention meets to make the candi-
date.
| Several attempts have been made TO
! have a caucus of the delegates in or
der that they might determine upon
one or the other candidates, but 50 far
every attempt in this direction has
proved fruitless. 1t is thought, NOW
the date for holding the convention
having been changed, that the delegates
will yet come together and determine
upon the name of some candidate To be
placed before the Accomac convention,
even though the move may necessitaie
bringing out a new man.
! The situation at this time is vtry
much complicated. However, thz
friends of both NH. 'Causey ard Mr..
Donohoe have no hesitancy in claiming
| the victory.
