Contrary to all expectations, senator
Carter Glass arrived in Norfolk at an
early hour Wednesday morning, well
enough to preside over the convention,
and his selection was quickly made. But
the other two committees did not get
along so easily A troublesome local
contest in one of the counties kept the
Credentials committee in session for
hours. The convention got together
again about 3 o'clock, and, listening to
brief speeches by Gov. Tyler and John
Goode, again took a recess.
CHAIRMAN GLASS SPEECH.
The convention got together again at
& o'clock, and after session OF three
quarters of an hour took another recess
until 3. the Committees on Resolutions
and Credentials being still out.
The Committee on Permanent Organi-
zation made it's report, which was adopt
ed. and Mr.. Glass assumed the chair and
made significant speech. Referring TO
Mr.. Goods mention OF the pledge OF the
last State Convention, that the Consti-
tuition sh ould be submitted to the people
Mr.. Glass said that he was the author oi
the resolution referred to, and it was
never intended TO make any pledge that
the work of the Constitutional Conven.
ton should be submitted to l40, 900 Re
publican negroes. This statement was
received with tumultuous applause, and
Mr.. Glass concluded by saying that it is
the duty Of the party to sustain the Con
stitutional Convention in the action it
NAV take. Before Mr.. Glass took the
chair Senator Daniel spoke briefly, ex-
planning the difficulties OF the Constitu'
tional Convention in dealing with the
suffrage problem. He also spoke OF the
Importance of party fealty in this cam
paign.
The most notable incident OF the day
was the lack of applause which greeted
| Hon. II. r. Pollard, of Richmond, wher
he said ''Free silver is dead issue II
met it's Gettysburg in 1896. and it,
Waterloo in 1900"
