III HUSo CHANG, the eminent
Chinese statesman, was interviewed
a few dsys ago by a representative OF
the Chicago Record, on the subject of
our war in the Philippines, and among
other things he said:
What do | think Of your Ameri-
can occupation Of the Philippines?
| consider it great mistake. When
General Grant was here he assured
me that America ives committed to
the policy Of non-aggression on weak
err nations, but since this man Nc
Kinley became President, America
seems to have cast aside its tradition
al policy of honor, riches and safety
and to have entered upon the same
land grabbing plan of England, Ger
many and Russia. If Grant had lived
no such mistake would have been
made, for the people trusted him,
obeved him and believed in him.
Mckinley must be sort Of weak and
uncertain man."

Inauguration. A rairoad rate from

assured, while tickets will be good

The Sword of Honor to be present
ed to Admiral Dewey was voted by
Congress last summer, and has been
made at cost Of $40, 900 by Tiffany
of New York. With the exception
OF the steel blade, and the body Of
the scabbard, the material used is 90
carat gold. On the pommel is carved
the word "Olympia," with the sign
Of the zodiac for December, the lucky
month in which Dewey was born.
Around these is wreath Of oak
leaves. Below this is the coat of
arms of the United States, and of
Dewey's native state, Vermont, with
it's state n otto, "Freedom and Uni.y.'
The guard is beautifully wrought in
the shape of an eagle with outspread
wings. On the front OF the scabbard
are the initials "G. D." and under
them 'dU. S. N" On the blade of
the sword is engraved the inscription:

REPUBLICANS
Met and Nominated J. g. Craft,
OF Scott County.

The Republicans of the 2nd Sena
torial District, composed Of the
counties of Lee, Scott and Wise, met
in convention at this place on last
Friday, the 22nd.
| Thas delegation from Scott was
small, but there vas a good attend
ance from Lee and Wise.
At D. m. the convention wac
organized with Capt. II. c. Joslyn,
of Lee, as chairman Committees
were appointed to take charge Of the
different details, after which a recess
of thirty minutes was taken to await
their report. The most important
report come from the ResOlutions COM

RESOLVED, That we endorse and rcafirm
the policy and principles Of the Republic
can party as announced in the Platform of

ton assembled in st. Louis in 1896

we favor his denomination AID election.
RESOLVED, That we denounce the Walton
election law of Virginia as un-AmerIean.
unpre cedented in this free government;
unfair, unjust and unpatriotlc; a disgrace
upon our civilization and as a political
trust in the hands of the Democratic party;
and we demand It's unconditional repeal,
and the enactment of fair and impartial
election law in its stead, which will secure
TO the people free ballot and fair
count by abolishIng the iniquetOus cleo
ton booth and permitting the voter to have
his ballot prepared in the manner and by
whom he may choose.
RESOLVED, That we condem the unequal
taxation of the people and the extray-
agance of the Democratic administration |
of the state.
RESOLVED, That we denOunce the Demo-
cratic party for its frequent and unneces
sary changes of the books to be used by |
the Public free schools of Virginia to the
great expense and oppression of the people |
and for the benefit and enrichment of book

Blankenship, Of Lee, arose aud after

and especially the election booths, to
utter destruction and utter darkness,
placed in nomination Rev. }. i. Graft,
If Scott county. The applause that
greeted the name of Graft was loud

he was prime favorite.
Col. Campbell Slemp then arose

over the price which has heretofore
obtained. T1e cost OF the consump-
ton is now $4,000 day. The
tendency is to raise the price still
higher The advance is due partly
to the drouth of last summer, which
eeriousIy impaired the water power
Of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone mp
quarter of Il cent pound, and letter
paper from three-quarters OF cent.
to one cent pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone
up from y to . per cent. within the
last week owing to the scarcity OF
cowhide material. Shoe manufact-
urers have signed contracts with
wholesale amt retail shoe houses
which will not expire for months to
come, and so the patrons Of retail
houses will not feel the advance I'M.
til December. In the meantime the
manufacturers who have bound them
selves by contract will be the suffer
ers from the rise in price A sharper
advance still has been made in the
price OF crude sole leather. For two
months the cost has been steadily
going up and yesterdayit had advanc-
ell six cents per pound above market
price paid in August. Still higher
prices are looked for by manufacture
ers.
The increased cost is due to the
scarcity Of cattle a. compared with
the tie nand.

j. r. Kidd then offered motion
to make the nomination of Craft by
reclamation, and it carried with a
whoop. This was all done over Rev.
Dir. Crafts protest.
A committee of three was appoint
ed by the chairman to notify the
nominee of his selection and escort
him before the convention. His ap-
pearancc was the signal for another
tumuIt. when all kinds of noises,
especially loud ones, filled the hall
for considerable time. After quiet
was restored the nominee made a
rousing speech that set the conven-
ton wild. The only Disappointing
feature about it was he did not ac-
cept nor decline the nomination. He
asked for tine to consider. Being a
minister he said it was great per-
s0nal sacrifice and a great struggle
was going on in his mind as to
whether he should accept the nomi-
nation or not. He acknowledged
having some ambition for Legislative
honors and said if ho DECIDED to ac-
cept the nominet he would make
an active canvass Of the district. lie
declared his intention to challenge
his opponent to joint debate and said
we might look for warm campaign
from now until election day. All
this of course depended upon whether
he accepted the nomination or not.
On motion the Convention agreed
to give him FIVE days in which to de-
eide the matter.
Mr.. Craft has represented Scott
county in the House Of Delegates and
campaigning is no new thing to him.
The general opinion is that lie will
accept the nomination.
