TIN, HENRrco CONVENTION.

Tho Democrats of Henrico county VIII
assemble in mass-meeting to-day to elect
delegates ito the State Democratic Con-
ysntion. which meets in Norfolk in MAY.
We believe that on the action OF mat
convention depends very largely the 1a'e
Of the Democratic party of Virginia. we
know that large number OF Democrats
throughout the length and breadth OF
Virginia are heartily sick 'of election
methods and machine rule in Virginia
7and in order to a reform they want to see
the negro question removed from state
notifies. There is but one way to ac-
complish this and that is through a Con-
stitutional Convention.
1t is contender by many that ths Nor
folk Convention will determine the ques.
ton whether or not there shall ee a
Constitutional Convention. 1t IS a tore
gone conclusion that if it be made a
marty measure. 1t will succeed, but many
believe that If the convention to be ned
An Norfolk shall decide that At is mex
pedient at this time to call Constltu-
tional Convention, the proposition TO hoid
such a convention will be defeated. But
In our candid opinion it will be bad
day both for thu State of Virginia and
for the Democratic party Of Virginia II
the Democrats in convention shall turn
their backs ION the Constitutional Con-
vention movement. Our whole election
system needs to be reformed, but it Will
not be reformed so long as the negro
is a factor in our State politics. Remove
the negro and the rest is simple.
we, therefore. urge upon the Democrats
of Henrico to go out TO the meeting.
which shall be held today, and elect as
delegates to the Norfolk Convention such
men as have the welfare OF Virginia at
heart and who will fairly represent the
Intelligence and patriotism of the county.

adopted saying that If a convention to
frame constitution was held the new
constitution should be submitted to popu-
lar vote for ratification or rejection" The
News thinks THAT this shows for Stanton
rather a leaning towards the convention
The Lynchburg News commends 1.-THE
Democrats of Campbell county for de-
claring in favor of constitutional con-
vention and for electing Senator Daniel
as a delegate to the Norfolk convention,
seeing that the Senator SIS known to be
earnestly for constitutional revision"
The News further notes the fact that a
circular was handed around&at Rustburg
on the day that the convention was held
urging Democrats to oppose the constltu-
tional convention movement. In COM
mentang on which the News says:
we would fain hope that no Democrat
and no office-holder had a. hand in pre-
rarang and ci!cu,at:ng this appeal IL may
be THAT nfe proposition to call con-
stitutional convention will fail, but II" the
failure is brought about by the acnve
efforts of of1ice-holders, the victory Wall
prove a barren one to them.
If the convention movement Is defeat
ed the office-holders will be held rescon-
sible for the defeat, whether justly or
not, for the impression has gotten out
that as body they are opposed to con-

clearly accidental, no inquest would be

GENERAL SMITHS PORTRAIT.


There were most Interesting and i'm
pressive ceremonies last evening at Lee
Camp Hall when Colonel Thos- Smith s
portrait Of his eminent father, Governor
and General William Smith, was presented
TO Lee Camp by Colonel Archer Anderson
and received for the camp by Mr. Viii
liam l.. Royal. Virginia has had many
eminent and heroic sons. but she has
.leser had any more heroic than General
smith, and there is no portrait in Lee
Camps gallery better entitled to place
there than the portrait of this great man.
When the civil war came on General
smith was one of the most eminent men
then living in Virginia. He was sixty
-four wears OF age, which was nineteen
wears over the age that the law had fixed
as the end of the time when men owed
military service to the State, yet he
promptly offered TO Virginia his services
as a soldier. He participated in the first
battle fought, and from that day until his
rellow-yirxinians and fellow-cltizens call
ed him to preside over the State as her
Governor, on January j, 1861. he was
noted and conspicuous upon every battle
field of the Army of Northern Virginia as
one OF the most daring, resolute, but cool
headed officers in that immortal army.
When Mr.. Lincoln came down here at
the end of the war he said publicly tina.
he would like to see the old regime Te-
stored in Virginia, with an old-time Viz
ginia Legislature In session in Richmond
and that game cock, Billy Smith, in the
Governors Mansion. This incident is
striking illustration of that good sense
and natural good nature and good heart
OF Abraham Lincoln. He knew that the
old-time Virginia Legislature represented
all that was best in the State of Vir-
personification OF all the good elements
which the Legislature represented. What
misery, what wretchcdness might not the
people OF Virginia have been spared if
the assassin's bullet had not terminated
Iincoln's life and he had been able to
overcome the hatred Of the South which
caused tho enactment of the Infamous
reconstruction acts by black Republican
Congress,
Could Mr.. Lincoln have convened vir-
glnia's Legislature as 1t then existed, and
have restored Governor Smith TO the per-
Torrance Of his functions as Governor,
Virginia would have marched straight
along from that time forward IN her
usual path. having nothing 70 mourn over
hut the irreparablc loss of he- sons and
the vast destruction of her property: but
she was compelled to bow her neck in
humiliation to the yoke and to drink the
cup of insult and oppression to its dregs
The Times Is glad 20 see this portrait
Of Governor Smith hanging in Lee Camp,
standing there by the side of the portraits
of his beloved commanders. r. E. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson. It is fitting
companion piece to the portraits OF these
immortal men, and 4: will be looked al
by all succeeding generations OF yir-z
ginians. and vii be an Inspiration 20
them to emulate the deeds and thoughts
of those three great men in all time 10

a Too Inclusive Scriptural Text on the
DIR. John Hall Tablet.

There Is discussion amounting almost
to a scandal in the Fiftil-Avenue Pres
byterian Church over the tablet recently
placed in the vestibule in memory OIL
the Rev DR.. John Han. The text OF
Scripture which Is inscribed on the tablet
has caused much comment in the church
and outside Of it, and there are not q few
Of the congregat ton who feel that some
thing should be done to modify the work
of the committee that had the preparation
Of the tablet in charge. "A well-known
member Of the congrega ton said Yester-
day:
..Of course none of us believe that the
committee or any member of it had any
idea of rejecting on Dr. Hail by selecting
that inscription. But the hundreds or men
and women who have belonged to the
congregation in DR.. Halls time hate TO
feel that the only memorial to him is to pc
a tablet that cannot but provoke a smile
on the face OF every visitor to the church
The church had altogether TOO muc1 OF

months just preceding pr. Halls death
to endure another COMM Ton just now for
any cause, and it may be for that reason,
that nothing will be done about this tablet
If the committee show dispoE&ttean to
stick to their very unfortunate selection.
But we will not let it remain forever.
That IS certain.
The tablet is on the wall Of the vestbule
