finally developed, the wedding was
the most imposing function that ever
took place in the White House. The

otfef resolutions affecting the Virginia
debt question to the coming Second
district Democratic Congressional con
yenfion to be held in this city. The
resolutions as prepared, read as fol
lows:
Whereas in 1894 the Virginia legtsla-
ture appointed certain of its members
commission with authority to bring
suit in the name Of that State for the
benefit Of the holders of certificates
purportfng to represent a debt due.by
West Virginia, and which certificates
have been selling on Wall street for
two cents ON the dollar. and whereas
said commission has recently brought
said suit, Resolved,
Ftrst-That effort should be exhaust
ed to continue said suit without action
till after the next Virginia legisla
ture
Second That the legislature OF this
State should appoint a committee to
ascertain and make reports.
The Investigation.
I'D Whether certain members Of
the commission. who were members
of the Virginia legislature in 1885,.
were paid large fees by a Wall street
syndicate, controlling the certificates,
for procuring the appointment of said
commission.
C2) Whether Wall street syndl-
cate, controlling the certificates, Is
now furnishing the money to carry
on said suit; and
(s) Whether said Wall street syn
dictate has agreed to pay the mem.
bers of said commission large fees
for their services in this matter.
Third-That the report of sand com
mittee should be published in Virgin.
la papers to the end that the self-re-
speeding people OF that State be In
formed of the truth about his matter.
1t is the opinion Of this convention that
when the people Of Virginia are In
formed of the facts, her Legislature
will repeal the law appointing such a
commission and will order said suit
dismisseF. This convention is IN
willing to believe that Virginia has so
fallen from her high estate as to
