The Times Dispatch does not believe In

there Is much to be said IN favor OF H..
and as an independent proposition we ara
inclined to think that most OF the South

When the result was announced
Mr.. Thompson was called to the
platform. He made appropriate
remarks in appreciation of the
honor conferred upon him.
Judge Williams introduced a res
olution strongly endorsing the
present city administration 1t
was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Mcclure suggested that the
convention decide upon some uni
form method Of making future
nominations and he moved that the
city executive committee be in
structed to provide, under such
regulations as might seem best, for
a registered primary 10 make all
future nominations. The motion
was carried.
The convention endorsed the
nominations for aldermen and for
members Of the executive COM
mittee made by the ward conven-
tons. There was some misunder
standing as to the term of Office of
of the executive committee
1t was finally cleared up by order
ing the several ward delegations to
report two members each and these
were elected by the convention.
The full executive committee Is
now as follows: Ward i. S. PMillcr
John A. Mcclure, Ward ? +. NJ.
Bailey J. A. Bonart, Ward q B.
B. Barefoot J. d. Carmichael,
Ward a. II. +. Martin, G. c.
Buchanan.
The thanks Of the convention
were extended to Deputy Marshall |
Madsen for securing the use Of the
court room.
There being no other business
before the convention, a motion 10 |
adjourn was made and carried.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1904-03-18

the nominee responded, saying:
1T is useless for me to say that
am thankful for the honor you
have conferred upon me. / prom
Use you that if am elected, / will
make as efficient an officer as I am
capable of being.
Nominations for collector were
called for. Frank Bailey presented
the name of A. B. Thompson. J..
d. Carmichael seconded the nomi-
nation. Judge Williams placed
the name of A. T. Nickols before
the convention.
The delegations proceeded to
ballot, with the following result

ports made were all accepted.

1t was moved that the convention
proceed to the nomination of a can
didate for assessor, that after
a caucus of the ward delegations,
the ward chairman should announce
the vote and the candidate receiving
majority vote of all the delegates
be declared the nominee.
This motion having prevailed,
the secretary was instructed TO call
the roll of wards for nominations.
The first ward chairman, Judge
Grigsby, announced that his ward
had a candidate but was not ready
to place his name before the con
vention. The second ward yielded
to the third. Judge Williams re-
sponded when the third ward was
reached and placed Joe Dews in
nomination, in a good democratic
speech. He spoke of the necessity
for organization among democrats
and strongly urged that the po-
litical lines be drawn in city
politics to the end that responsible
ity for the conduct of city affairs
be fixed and the best administra-
ton secured. He was proud Of
the record of the present demo-
cratic administration. Concluding,
he said: 1T is my privilege to
nominate a democrat true and
tried, democrat from a democrat
ic state, a democrat who is loyal
to the principles of the party and
one who will be democrat
whether he is nominated or not. ="
Mr.. Mcclure seconded the NOM
ination of Mr.. Dews.
The fourth ward yielded to he
first and Judge Grigsby took the
floor. The Judge made one Of
his characteristic speeches, win
ming great applause by his wit and
humor. He said he was a demo
crat and glad TO be one. He hoped
that nothing but good feelings
would prevail in making the nomi-
nations and that everything would
be done in the most honorable
manner. He placed the name of
Billy Cloud before the conven-
tlon, praising him as a good
democrat and a noble gentleman.
Although, he admitted, his candi-
date may have made mistakes in
the past, he assured the conven-
lion that Mr.. Cloud was a dema-
,rat who could be trusted to stand |
BY the party.
No other names were placed be-
ore the convention. The vote
was taken and stood as fellows:

We are happy to present this week.
one of the most gifted and prominent
of the many illustrous Virginia families
who can trace their lineage in an ur-
gbroken line from its first creation as the
House Of Scarsdale, 1911. and later as the
House OF Warwick, England, 1853.

which was then universally practiced by
physicians.

tinct by the death Of Sir Edward Rich,
Earl OF Warwick and Holland, September

House Of Warwick, and dropping those

Is named in his honor. The following
anecdote. which appeared good many
Years ago in the old Richmond Enquirer
is interesting and we'll worth recording:

state In 1924. He was then confined to
his bed by disease Of which he died a
yeal. or two after; but sent his aide dc
camp to pay his respects 10 the illustri-

name was mentioned, lafayette repeated
sIt: Walter Leake! I think remember
him. Is he not from Virginia. He was
told that he was. Well said Lafayette,

dent which he believed to be authenti-

about leaving homo in 17s1 to lead his
company into war Walter (then seven
teen years old insisted on gonng with
him, but the old man told him that he
had given up his first born to the cause
OF his country, and was to dedicate him
self to the same cause; and that he
(Walter) must stay at home to aid In
taking care Of his mother and the little
ores. He accordingly left him. In two
DAYS after the old lady "a true Revolu-
tionary matron, by the way fitted up
Walter, and told him 80 so and fight for
his country, that she would take care of
