STATE CONVENTION.

A dispatch from Richmond says there
is a strong probability now that spec.

even desirable ID being rapidly dissipat-

tions OF leading men 10 the party. The
consensus OF leading opinions seems TO

IF THE managers OF the democratic
party in Virginia be wise, they will
"hold their horses" 10 the matter OF
eleoting delegates to the proposed con-
stitutional convention. The small vote
cast for that convention last week
shows that it does not have the enthu-
sisstic support OF the party, at this par
ticulsr time. Making party question
of it has tended greatly to reduce the
democratic vote, and wisdom teaches
that nothing more should be done with
ii until after next falls election.

who are endeavoriDg, at other peoples
expense, to make proselytes among the
natives OF that country to the faith OF Oil

their manners, customs and religion OF
the native country as the Americans

Now THAT the capital OF the

the war against the South African re-
publics was not for conquest, and says
those republics must be annexed to the
British empire. His lordship evidently
got wrinkle from his reported ally
President Mckinley, who, when the
Spanish war commenced. declared that
it was solely to free the oppressed Gu
bans, and not for the conquest of one
inch of foreign territory. But allies
