THE CONVENTION.

The democratic State convention,
which assembled in the Norfolk Armory
at noon today. Is an enormous and most
extensive body, and contains about
twice as many delegates as the national
conventions. There are 1000 chairs on
the floor OF the hall, aud it is believed
that ali OF them will be fixed by dele
gates. It is true that there are only
.472 votes, but many OF the constitu-
encles will send double delegations,
each member with hall vote, and IL is
thought that at lesst 1000 delegates
will be present. There is hardly an
other hall 10 Virginia that will seat as
ma1y people, besides having galleries TO
accommodate large audience.
TIE committee on credentials will
have to decide a number OF contests, in
cludiug a bitter one from Newport
News.
But the general interest 10 the work
OF the committee on resolutions, which
will report the platform, overshadows
that in the candidates, the latter being
largely decided. IL is predicted by
those who ought to know that the plat
form will contain, besides the usual
concentrations and plstitudes, the fol-
lowing features:
The plan for selecting candidates for
the United States Senate by vote at par
ty primaries, now in vogue in South
Carolina, will be commended. The
general principles OF democracy will be
indorsed, possibly without any refer
ence to the recent national platform or
to Mr.. Bryan beyond friendly express
sion; possibly plank expressing con.
fiience 10 the present constitutional con-
yention and leaving that body to pur.
sue It's own course without any express
sion Of opinion.
The following names will be- present.
ed to the convention: For governor, A.
j. Montague and G. A. Swanson; for
lieutenant /. governor, Joseph f. Willard,
of Fairfax, DIR. G.. w. Lecato, OF Acco-
mac, and Tate Irving. of Wise county;
sltorney-genersl, ]. l.. Jetiries, OF Cul-
pepper, w. A. Anderson, OF Rockbrdge,
Judge William Gordon Robertson, OF
Roanoke, r. s. Parks, Of Luray, Judge
Samuel w. Williams, OF Wythe. IL is
possible that some oftbese may be with
drawn.

lected the following temporary officers

MoKEEsPORr'S MAYOR.

Mayor r. J. Black, Of McKeesport.
Pa, makes the following statement In
reply to the criticisms of mis- course in
not dispensing the crowds OF strikers
there:
Sat a time like this 10 McKeesport,
when so many men are idle, they are
bound to come out on the streets and
crowd them more than usual. Like
every other crowd, they will gather
where there is excitement, but 50 far
there has been little or no disorder,
and 10 all cases the police have handled
the situation admirably. There Is no
more orderly set of men in this country
than the men who are idle 10 this city.
In the instances in which the tube COM
pany requested me to send men to
dispense tue crowds, the Chief OF Police
was on the ground at the time and re-
ported that there was no disorder. We
cannot order man to 90 home and
stay there when be is doing no harm
and only standing on the strset. AS
far as the tube company is concerned, IT
has appropriated TO its own use q
street of this city to which 1t has no
legal right whatever, and this ia the
very street on which it was complained
that the strikers had congregai ed. II
allow private corporation to take up
and appropriate to its own use a street,
how can l consistently refuse private
citizen the right to stand upon II?
Il de not consider talking to non-union
workmen disorder 10 any sense. The
men have a perfect right to attempt all
kinds OF arguments as long as they do
not resort to positive physical coercion"
Mayor Blacks mail yesterday
brought many communications. One
was postal card, and read as follows:
"You will never live to serve your
term. Somebody ought to kill you.
There is place for such fools as you"
The card was signed "a Striker" IL
was mailed at Washington, Pa. An
other communication inclosed an edi-
torisl from a New York paper critics.
ing the Mayor. and on the margin oft
was written: go take dose OF csrbolic
acid" Other writers encouraged and
still others discouraged the policy OF
the Mayor.
