THE SENSATION OF THE DAY.
Is Created by the ROckbridge County
News in an Editorial.

The Rockbridge County News, q
newspaper that has heretofore been
antagOnist.c to the Democratic party
in Virginia, created d mild sensation
in its issue of last week, when in an
editorial on the re cent action Of the
Virginia Legislature in calling a con-
stitutional convention, it gave express
sion to the following
1t is no secret of the leaders that the
main object sought in the cOnventioni is
to reform the suffrage to the end that
the ballot may be reformed in Virgin
Ia. We hail the action of Thursday Is
caucus with satisfaction and the mem
bers with congratulation. 1t is the
most decisive action in favor of good
government we have known taken in
Virginia for many a day. Those who
participated in 1t are to be c%ongratu-
lated for their courage and patriotism
10 less than for their wisdom.
They propose, they declare, to make
the convention a party measure as to
the legislature by last weeks action,
and to use their influence to have it
made a party measure by the next
Democratic State convention which
will insure its acceptance by the peo-
pie at The polls. From the Influence
the movement has behind it as shown
by the spirit OF last weeks caucus
there seems no reason to doubt its
triumph.
The County News desires to state in
this connection that it is done fighting
the State Machine" 1t there has
been a machine controlled legislature
this is. Its work is evidently for the
best interests of the old common.
wealth and we endorse it. The States
best interests are what we desire and
We shall honor the party that guards
them. The leaders in the present leg
islature who represent the leaders in
the State Democratic organization
show by their actions that this is their
purpose.
The most conspicuous leader in this
movement for a constitutional cOnven-
ton has been Mr.. Flood. The County
has in the past antagonized him
aS the representative of machine poll
tics in this part of Virginia. 1t sees
much to commend and admire in his
course and wishes him success
md honor too in his good WORK.

WHY CANNOT THE PEOPLE yOTE2

There is a bill before the Legislature
to allow the people of Staunton and
vicinity to vote on the question of
extending the corporate limits. Ger
talnly the Legislature will not stifie
the voice of the people on such an
issue. 1t may not carry, but the right
TO vote on such a question is SO inhe-
rent that We are astounded to think
there is a likelihood of the matter be-
ing killed in committee, or by the
Legislature. 1t is a great public ques-
ton affecting thousands of people, and
their right to a chance to speak
through the ballot box is unguestion-
able, and the bill is an absolutely fair
one.

GOVERNOR GOEBEL DEAD.
The Brave Kentuckian Departed
This Life Last Saturday.

Governor William Goebel, of Ken
lucky, died from the assassin's bullet
at 6:35 o'clock last Saturday night,
and j. G. w. Beckham, was promptly
sworn in, and is now the Governor of
Kentucky, according to the Democrat
ic theory. He was the candidate for
Lieutenant-GOvernOr on the ticket
with Goebel. The brave Kentuckian
made a desperate fight against death
and his physicians resorted to every
means known to medical science to
save his life, but all was in vain. Dur.
ing the last few moments be was left
alone with his brother and sister and
passed away while they we're kneeling
at his bedside. His brother, Justus,
arrived just after the governors death.
Republican Governor Taylor was no.
titled by phone Of Goebel's demise and
said II deeply regret his death"
Senator-elect Blackburn, Speaker
Trimble and about a dozen others. in
Guiding some OF the most prominent
Democrats in Kentucky, issued an ad
dress to the people giving notice of
Goebel's death, and saying:
I'm his last moments be counseled
his friends to keep cool and bow to
the law in all things. We, his friends
and advisers, beg of the people of Ken
lucky in this hour Of affection to alb
stain carefully from any act of violence
or any resort to mob law"
The remains were prepared for burr
al and taken to Cnvington. KY, the
home of the dead man. and after lying
in state for a day were taken back to
Frankfort for interment. Great ex.
element has prevailed, but no further
trouble has occurred. Alonzo Walker,
who was arrested for serving a notice
on Taylor, has been released. The
Democrats are standing by Governor
Beckham and the Republicans by
Taylor, with the latter side showing
signs of weakness. The Republican
members went to London to hold SEES
sions of the Legislature and the Demo
Gratis went to Louisville. MI. Taylor
has ignored the courts and done every
thing in a manner that would cause ali
anarchist to hide his face in shame.
Latest reports from the Blue Grass
State indicate a feeling of compromise.
At q conference held in Louisville
al agreement was drawn up and sign
ed by both Republicans and Democrats
looking to a compromise, but at the
hour of our going to press Mr.. Taylor
had refused to sign it. The agree
ment as drawn up is favorable to the
Democrats.
Governor Goebel was buried at
Frankfort yesterday. A great throng
of people attended the funeral.
Not less than 25 detectives are in
Frankfort trying to find some tangible
clue to the Goebel murderer. Detec
tives say it is only the matter of a
week before an arrest will be made,
and it will be of almost sensational
character.
