this city. who were aware that his i'll health
for several weeks past had made it impos-

the desire of a majority, at least, of the
democrats of Virginia to honor Mr. Ely

distinguished services, and that many of
my friends who have faithfully stood by
me and are still willing to stand by me
also feel that Mr.. Ellyson is entitled to this
recognition by the<democratic party"
