THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. 16' 1901
TIE STATE democratic convention at

TIE STATE democratic convention 81
Norfolk last night nominated mr.
Andrew J. Montague for Governor and
Capt, Joseph E. Willard for Lieutenant
Governor, thus terminating contest
which has been in progress for months
10 the Old Dominion as to who should
be the democratic standard-bearers
next November. The action OF the
convention was anticipated and for
some time people throughout the State
foresaw the result. There were other
asDirants for the honors who had large
folIowines, but the majority OF the
delegates chosen had been elected by
democrats preferring the two gentle
men nominated, while they recognized
the worth and abilities of others who 1t
ia apparent would have discharged the
duties Of those or any positions with
credit to themselves or the State. The
convention was characterized by moth
ing uncommon 10 State gatherings.
The same loyalty to party was mani
tested and those in the minority were
by no means piqued or inclined to &C.
ugly because their champions we're
destined to come out second-btst In the
race, although some of those 10
the majority were at times dis
posed to exult over those OF the party
who had made gallant but unsuccess-
full canvass for Hon. Claude A. Swanson
for the gubsrnatorial nomination.
That Mr. Montague is an able man and
one OF the most esrnest expounders oil
democracy 10 Virginia wac conceded by
every member of the convention, and
that Mr.. Willard will make an able
running mate was also apparent; hence,
when it was realized their nomination
was inevitable, and that majority rule
Is fundamental principle OF the time
honored democratic party, all the mem
bars bowed 10 the will OF the people
and made the nominations unanimous.
While large percentage of the demo-
cratic party OF the State-within frsc-
tion of one half, as shown by the vote
preferred Mr.. J. l.. Jeffries for attorney
general, the convention thought 1t best
t. nominate Mr.. VIM. A Anderson, an"
other able and worthy gentleman, for the
position. Mr.. Anderson has Tor
a long time been identified promi-
neutly with the affairs OF the State.
He is an earnest democrat and
has given much OF his time and
attention 10 the interest OF the party.
Aud now that Messrs. Montague, VILE
lard and Anderson have been
nut forward as the democratic
champions In next fsll's contest,
aud their nomination is equiva-
lent to election, let all vie to roll up as
large q democratic vote az possible.
The republicans for the first time in
dozen years will place candidates In the
field. OF course the democratic party
will have nothing to spprehend from
them, though at the same time every
democrat should take an honest pride
in swelling the vote of his party as
much as possible.

DID NOT NOTIFY sCHLEY.

Although the fact is not stated at the
Navy Department, there is every reason
to believe that Gen. Greedy, the chief
signal officer OF the army, will be one
Of the principal witnesses In the Schley
investigation. Through confidential
sources Gen. Greeley learned on May
10, the day Gervera's fleet arrived in
Santiago, OF the appearance OF the ves-
sells In that port. He was notified In
cipher telegram from Col. Allen, at Key
West, who also informed Admiral
Sampson at the same time. Gen. Greeley
communicated the important news to
the President In person, and also
told Secretary Long. The information
was positive and direct. Admiral
Sampson was, therefore, in possession
of the fact on the 10th of May, or the
Goth at the latest, and yet 1t was the
9th before he officially communicated
the news to Schley. The latter, who
had sailed from Key West before the
signal Office received the news, was
kept in ignorance for week, during
which time be was held at Cienfnegos
by Sampson and sfterwsrd was charged
with reprehensible conduct for his
delay.
One of the most important duties OF
the court OF inquiry will be
to ind out why the information
was not promptly communicated by
Sampson to Schley, and why Ssmp-
son himself did not 60 after Cervera's
fleet as soon as he knew its location.
He probably did not go for the same
reason that he refrained from following
the strange map-oi-wer reported of
Santiago as the battle was dra wing to q
close. His men, who had been absent
from the fight, were fresh; his ship had
not fred gun, and OF the entire Amer
can feet the New York was best fitted
to 20 out and meet the possible enemy.
Bat Sampson, 1t will bs remembered,
signaled to the Brooklyn and the Ore.
gon that an unknown man OF war was
10 the distance, and directed them to
follow her. The vessel proved to be an
Austrian cruiser. II 1t had been q
Spanish man-of-war, Admiral Samp.
son would have again been absent.

The Missouri W. Il. c. Is to be congratu-
lated on the excellent progress being made
by the local Corps, both as to finances and
growth of membership. each showing a most
healthy and gratifying increase all along the
line. Indeed, the increase has been so
marked that this year Missouri will be en-
titled TO three delegates at National Con-
ventiOn, while last year she had q right to
but two, and 1t is probable several new Corps
viii soon be organized. This is due to the
fact that the Department President has
visited and made personal inspection of
every Corps IN the State. and has sent out
circular letters TO the Post Commanders, urg-
Ing their influence and cooperation.
