Nothing but mmendatior was heard
at Norfolk Of the speech made bv Hon
y. A. Swanson following the speech of
acceptance by his successful competitor.
1t was splendid effort, delivered with
great earnestness, exceedingly eloo uent
and, to all appearances, very sincere and
emphatic in its declarations of party
loyalty, submission to the will of the
Virginia Democracy and support of III
nominees. In these respects the speech
could not have been improved upon. bat
it was lacking in that it nowhere con.
tanned any reference to or acknowledg.
ment OF Mr.. Montague's splendid per.
sonality, his exalted character or his
distinguished ability, and not once did
the speaker mention the nominee of the
convention by name. These may have
been merely unintentionally omissions
and insignificant, but we thought, as we
listened to the distinguished Congress
man, that it would have been exceed.
ingly graceful for him to indulge in
some expressions of this kind.-South-
sads Sentinel
There is a very good and gener-
Gus tribute embraced in the above,
but our Brother Ryland is in error
as to his exceptions. Mr.. Swanson
did turn to Mr.. Montague, and adj
dressing him fervently. told him in
substance that his candidacy should
receive his warmest support. Most
of his words addressed to the nomi-
nee were lost to many because of
the great applause which greeted
the Congressman at this stage.

RATHER BRUsoUE CLAIMS.


The Staunton -Nctcs got into q
moody vein last week and showed
soreness over the proposed disfran-
chisement of the negro because there
has been no suggestion of cutting
down representation in the black
belts after the DISTINGUISHING ma
chine gets to work. 1t advances a
strange suggestion-for Democratic
newspaper. The Republicans and
Northerners have been long time
threatening the South with dimin-
ished representation because Of suf-
frage restrictions, but this is the
first suggestion, as our contcmpo-
rary admits, to moot such a thing
within ourselves.
The burden OF the Nescs' woe lies
In the premise that in State legisla-
tive halls the big white Valley and
Southwest will be outvoted by South
side and Tidewater, and it advances
the remarkable claim that the Valley
has been bled long enough i'm taxes
for the support of some other sec
tions. Surely the Netcs has lost
sight of the evidence before the
Constitutional Convention that the
mineral lands in the western part of
the State have been evading just
taxation. Why, sir, one little oyster
community down here, where people
live from hand-to-mouth, probably
pays more State and county taxes
than a whole mountain-side covered
with chutes and furnaces! just the
other day We saw where in the mat
ter of paying its share of the ex-
penses of the State government
Northampton county has a record
that can scarcely be equaled by any
other in the State. The total taxes,
including licenses and fines, paid
into the State treasury from the
county amounted to about $4,000.
The county drew back from the
State the past year, emitting the
schools, not quite $500.
Believe as You will, but we sug.
gest that Democratic counsels had
better get the ear of our contempt
rary and suppress such remarks as
these in its closing:
1T is our duty to ourselves and T., the
best interests of the State to say to the
black belt that If you are determined TO
surrender your negroes, you must sur
render along with them the undue In.
nuence which you now hold in the state
government by reason of your suppress
ing the negro vote. Reduced represen-
tation must go hand in hand with re-
duced electorate"

WHAT has become of that resolu.
ton which it was said would be in
troduced to prohibit nepotism? Os-
tensibIy it was to call upon the
heads of the State departments to
give the Constitutional Convention
the number and names of relatives
each head has employed in his
department. The contingent fund
bomb has done such havoc that it
is more than probable all such in
quiries will cease.

WE DO not see that that West

DELEGATE DUNAwAY in his
speech Monday struck strong key
when he declared that, since not a
line Of the new Constitution had as
yet been framed, he believed the
question of submission or proclaim
ing could we'll afford to wait. He
deplored the fact that the time was
being taken up in speaking, and said
that he would hail with delight
when a motion to adopt the first ar
ticle of the Bill of Rights should
prevail. The prospects are that
that there will be a week or more
of speaking yet before it will gel
down to vote for adoption of sny
part of the Constitution.
