been engaged in various parts Of the
country, representing the government be- be-,

Gillespie llman resolution. II do not
u believe the Democrats of the State want
to have their party endorse Emery. the

III even! though he does not train the Pen
rose end of the party I think 1t very
probable that Emery will withdraw be-
fore the close Of the campaign. Where
would the Democrats be then? Let them
go ahead and name Henson. or some
other good Democrat to head the ticket,
Fill 1T out with other good men, Of whom

sylvanin, and II would command the sup
port Of enough good men In the Re-
publican party to render its success ex-

Jones Majority.
~ Representative William a. Jones, Of
The First Virginia District, said to-day
he thought his estimate Of his majority
over Mr.. Mears In the contest for the
nomination, ended with the primary last
Saturday, was correct that It would APP
proximate $500. He has not heard from
a precinctiin King and Queen, and from
$bnt two precincts In careline. When all
$the returns from these counties are In
he thinks his present apparent majority
n Of upwards of 8l,,2oO Will Sl,e decreased by
ut least 800.

he attended the convention Of the State
Bankers Association.
