and Bradley said: This must not be

conversation with Youtsey. "Yout-
sey said he had the greatest scheme
yet; that Goebel could be shot from
the Secretary-o States Office. and
nobody would ever know who did it..
At meeting b. b. Burton pulled
out a handful of cartridges and said:

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

On our first page will be found the
proceedings Of the Democratic Con
vention at Norfolk, and the Platform
in full.
The convention was one of the
most harmonious ever held in the
State. The friends of Senators
Daniel and Martin and of Governor
Tyler and Mr.. Jones hob-nobbed
together and voted for the quartet
as Delegates-at-large in bunch. In
tact, it was regular love-feast.
The platform taken as a whole is
a good campaign document. The
last clause, or that ia reference to a
Constitutional Convention IN our
opinion rises above all others
in point of Importance. For years
the thoughtful class of Virginians
has wondered why We should con-
tinue to live under a Constitution
framed by carpet-baggers and voted
upon at time when our foremost
citizens were DISTINGUISHED. The
Democratic party is nov pledged &c
efforts to bury the abortion aud to
give us Constit2 ton framed by the
wisest and best mea in the Com
monwealth to-day.
We think the quasi endorsement
of the Chicago platform might have
been left out with prost to the party.
The sentiment still clings TO us, bat
under new conditions it beconses a
cherished burden, Of which we might
have been relleved-for the present
campaign, at least.
The endorsement of Gov. Tyler'l
administration no doubt was piece
of party policy and for the sake of
harmony.
With the exception of these last
two named items the platform is a
good Oae, and, taken all together, it
makes fair document to fight on.
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1900-05-11

WE BOW ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

We must congratulate Irvington
on her determination to have electric
lights Chesapeake Watehman.
Irvington, Lancaster County, is TO
be lighted with electricity. This is
good enterprise for small town and
a sure way 10 build a city. We
known of quite a number of Virginia
towns with much more population
that have not shown as much pluck
and energy.-Norfolk Journal of
Commerce.
lryington is to have an electric
plant. The Carriers Greek Fish Oil
q Guano Company is having the same
placed in their factory. Irvington's
enterprising citizens are making ar
engagements to have line extended
to the village and several of the
private residences and business
houses will be lighted by electricity.
This shows commendable spirit of
enterprise.-N. ". NecS.
Our neighbor across the river, viz
the town of Irvington, is putting on
real city airs. Having secured a
nationa! bank, nothing would do but
to have an electric plant to dispel the
darkness of night. And so it goes,
one enterprise leads to another aud
business makes business. Let Urban
Ma take inspiration from her ear-by
neighbor and at least step up abreast.
-SowthSide Sentinel.
The spirit of our nearby contem-
poraries is the right one. Because a
man or locality is progressive is no
reason why jealousy should exist.
Only narrow minds are afflicted with
such envy. Broad minded people
applaud public spirit and enterprise,
and see in it an incentive to good
deeds and laudable emulation.

FISHING NOTES.

The run during the past week has
been enormous. The heavy north
westerly winds during the up-run of
shad drove them from the Capes Of
Virginia and from the rivers of the
western hay shore. But small catches
have been made this season in Vir-
ginia,
The Susquehanna River and Della
ware Bay are swarming with shad
and herring. This is the cause of
the exceedingly low price of fish in
the Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York markets. In a single
haul of small seine in Delaware
Bay, 1,700 shad were caught, while
IN two Others 2,100 shad aud 1000
other fish were caught.
